Tri-County Electric Cooperative was formed in 1939 to provide electricity in rural areas of Loudoun, Fairfax and Clarke counties. Prince William Electric Cooperative first served customers in Manassas and rural areas in Prince William, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun and Stafford counties in 1941. On January 1, 1983, the two consolidated and became Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative. Prior to Tri-County and Prince William electric cooperatives, most Northern Virginians who did not live in cities or towns had to live and work without electricity, because delivering power to remote farming regions reduced investor-owned utilities’ profit margins. Consequently, rural America lagged behind thriving Industrial Revolution cities.
That economic dichotomy changed during the Great Depression when President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress in 1935 to pass legislation to help electrify more than five million farms. With funding from the newly established Rural Electrification Administration, farmers formed co-ops to obtain “the electric.” Jubilant celebrations occurred across the country when the new co-ops—including Tri-County and Prince William—flipped the switch to power rural America for the first time.
Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative, one of the largest electric cooperatives of its kind in the United States, is a customer-owned and locally based distribution system that provides electricity to residents and businesses throughout Northern Virginia. NOVEC’s service territory encompasses 651 square miles and includes portions of Clarke, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, and Stafford counties, the City of Manassas Park, and the Town of Clifton.
NOVEC is a distribution electric cooperative. NOVEC purchases wholesale power through the PJM marketplace. PJM Interconnection coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in 13 states and the District of Columbia. NOVEC's long-term energy strategy is to deliver to its customers a locally controlled energy supply that is reliable, environmentally responsible, and competitively priced.
