Dominion Energy has a monopoly in the state of VA. There are no alternatives for electric power unfortunately.

There are others in the state but they have defined areas, so each is a franchise with exclusivity. Rappahannick Electric is one. Appalachian Power is another.

They have a monopoly in large parts of the state, but there are co-op power companies throughout the state as well. Powhatan and Prince George both have co-ops that I can recall offhand, but they're not the only ones.

The Eastern Shore has A&N.

But the point is, you can’t choose between them and Dominion. In RVA Dominion is your only choice; on the eastern shore A&N is your only choice.

I thought this little segment of the conversation was just discussing if Dominion was electric service for the whole state, so my bad and apologies for misunderstanding.

Powhatan, Amelia, Nottway, and some other counties have Southside Electric

Mecklenburg has Mecklenburg Electric

I do understand your point tho. Bro's stuck with dominion unless he moves to a county that doesn't use them.
