Power Supply Mix

SVEC gets electricity from its wholesale provider, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC).

ODEC is a member-owned, not-for-profit wholesale generation and transmission electric cooperative. ODEC supplies power for not-for-profit retail distribution cooperatives in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, serving 1.5 million people. Because ODEC is not driven by profit, its primary focus is serving members and their communities. For more information, visit ODEC’s website.

In 2025, ODEC generated or purchased over 16 million megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity for resale to its member distribution cooperatives and to non-members. The power supply mix of individual ODEC members may vary as a result of purchases or generation of power directly from other resources.
