Virginia Power Landscape
Every power system study TPS delivers in Virginia accounts for the utilities, fault duties, and interconnection requirements specific to the state. This is the landscape our Virginia work sits in.
Virginia sits inside PJM Interconnection, the regional transmission operator, and its facilities are served by Dominion Energy Virginia, Appalachian Power, and cooperatives including Old Dominion Electric Cooperative and NOVEC. The available fault current at a facility service is set by the serving utility, and in fast-growing load pockets like the Northern Virginia data center corridor that equipment is upgraded often, which is why short-circuit and arc flash studies should be revisited whenever utility-side work happens near your service.
Virginia operates its own OSHA-approved state plan, VOSH, which covers both private-sector and public-sector employers. VOSH adopts the federal electrical safety standards in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S, which treat NFPA 70E as the consensus standard for arc flash risk assessment and equipment labeling. A current, PE-sealed arc flash study is the documentation a VOSH inspector or an insurance auditor expects to see.
The authority having jurisdiction for the installation itself is typically the local building official enforcing the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, which incorporates the National Electrical Code. Every study True Power Systems delivers in the Commonwealth is modeled to current IEEE and NFPA methodology and sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in Virginia.

Virginia FAQ
Virginia runs its own OSHA-approved state plan, VOSH, covering both private and public employers. VOSH enforces the federal electrical safety rules in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S, which reference NFPA 70E for arc flash risk assessment and equipment labeling.
If workers ever interact with energized equipment, such as troubleshooting, racking breakers, or voltage testing, NFPA 70E calls for an arc flash risk assessment and OSHA expects equipment to carry incident-energy labels. New equipment, a service upgrade, or a change in utility fault current all trigger a new or updated study.
Virginia is part of PJM Interconnection and served by Dominion Energy Virginia, Appalachian Power, and cooperatives like Old Dominion Electric Cooperative and NOVEC. The fault current available at your service comes from the utility and changes when it upgrades equipment, which happens often in high-growth areas like the Northern Virginia data center corridor, so short-circuit and arc flash results should be re-checked after utility-side work.
A power system study used for compliance must be sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in Virginia. True Power Systems holds an active Virginia PE license and stamps every Virginia deliverable.
A complete package covers incident-energy calculations and arc flash boundaries, ANSI Z535 equipment labels, short-circuit and equipment-duty evaluation, protective-device coordination, an as-studied one-line diagram, and a PE-sealed report.
