Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative, the 11th largest electric cooperative in the United States, is a customer-owned and locally based distribution system that provides electricity to more than 158,000 residents and businesses throughout Northern Virginia. NOVEC’s service territory encompasses 651 square miles with more than 6,882 miles of electric lines and 53 substations over portions of Clarke, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, and Stafford counties, the City of Manassas Park, and the Town of Clifton. Headquartered in Manassas, NOVEC maintains satellite offices in Gainesville, Leesburg, and Woodbridge.As a cooperative, NOVEC is unlike investor-owned and municipal-owned utility companies. That’s because its members, who are customers, have an ownership interest, and therefore share in any profits generated by the company. These profits are allocated annually in the form of patronage capital, which is returned to current and former customer-owners as CashBack.
