The Commonwealth of Virginia is now engaged in a program for the competitive provision of energy to retail customers. If you are interested in participating as a supplier or aggregator, you will need to be licensed by the State Corporation Commission. In order to apply for licensure, you must submit an application in accordance with certain Commission rules as described below.
To further assist with the efficient handling of applications, a courtesy copy of the application for licensure should be submitted to:
Director, Economics and Finance
Virginia State Corporation Commission
P. O. Box 1197 Richmond, VA 23218
The following two important documents provide the information necessary for applying for a license to supply energy from the Commission.
- SCC’s Rules of Practice and Procedure
- SCC’s Rules Governing Retail Access to Competitive Energy Services (effective 08/01/2001)
