What ODEC does

Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) is a not-for-profit Generation and Transmission (G&T) cooperative founded in 1949 and headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia. ODEC generates and transmits electricity exclusively for 11 member-owned electric distribution cooperatives that together serve roughly 1.5 million people, 600,000 meters, and 59,000 miles of distribution line across 70 counties in Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. As a G&T cooperative, ODEC sits at the wholesale tier of the electricity value chain; its customers are its owners, and pricing is set on a cost-of-service basis with surpluses returned through equitable rates rather than distributed to external shareholders.

ODEC's core technology is a diversified owned-and-contracted generation portfolio: baseload power plants (Wildcat Point combined-cycle natural gas facility, Clover Power Station, North Anna Power Station), peaking facilities (Louisa, Marsh Run), a 30 MWac distributed solar portfolio with EDF Renewables (22.5 MW in construction as of October 2022), a 5 MW / 20 MWh Battery Energy Storage System targeted for Colonial Beach, Virginia by December 2028, and a 600 MW long-term PPA for the Wolf Summit Generating Station in West Virginia signed in July 2025. Combined-cycle assets run at above 60% efficiency, and more than 80% of ODEC's capacity obligation is met with owned generation. Hedging strategies, PJM market participation, and demand-side programs (smart thermostats, Manufactured Homes Energy Efficiency, the Electric Cooperative Marketplace launched February 2026) round out the offering.

The business model is B2B cooperative wholesale power supply, not retail. ODEC carries investment-grade ratings (Moody's A1, S&P A+, Fitch A+) and files SEC Forms 10-K and 10-Q due to registered debt securities, but is not publicly traded. Member-owned governance, a 2050 net-zero CO2 commitment, and active regulatory engagement (e.g., the FERC Indian River complaint) define how ODEC balances reliability, affordability, and decarbonization for its member-consumers.
