The campaign - which includes the Virginia Energy Choice Web site, a toll-free number, grassroots outreach and community education, educational materials and advertising - will help you take control of the process so you can make an informed decision when competing energy suppliers begin to make offers in your area.

The State Corporation Commission is the state government entity that oversees the state's utilities. In addition to educating consumers about energy choice, the SCC will work to ensure that Virginians receive quality service, that regulated companies meet their obligations to the public, and that consumer disputes with regulated companies are handled appropriately. For information about the SCC, call 1-800-552-7945 or visit the SCC's Web site.
