As an Authority of the Commonwealth of Virginia, BVU operates differently from other utilities. While some publicly-owned utilities serve specific municipalities and investor-owned utilities prioritize profits, BVU Authority is locally focused and service-driven.

Our mission is simple: to provide the best service at the lowest possible price for our customers. In the past few years, we’ve reduced electric rates several times, making us one of the lowest-cost electricity providers in Virginia. Revenues collected are reinvested directly into your utility system to ensure efficient operations—benefiting you, not investors.

BVU Authority employees are more than just service providers; they’re your neighbors and community members. This close connection fosters a strong partnership, where customers have a vested interest in our organization, and employees take pride in serving their community.

You can count on BVU Authority as your trusted energy partner. We’re proud to be your local utility company, committed to delivering exceptional service with integrity and care.
