Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) is a not-for-profit generation and transmission cooperative founded in 1948 that provides wholesale electric services to 11 member distribution cooperatives across Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia, the organization is owned by its member cooperatives and governed by boards elected from each member body, operating under the seven cooperative principles and prioritizing reliability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental stewardship. Its power supply comprises both owned baseload and peaking plants using coal, natural gas, and nuclear, along with a purchased power portfolio that includes renewables. The cooperative serves more than 550,000 meters representing about 1.2 million people across 70 counties, supported by roughly 59,000 miles of distribution lines. In February 2026, ODEC launched the Electric Cooperative Marketplace, an online platform that lets member-consumers purchase energy-efficient products with instant discounts.
