Electric

The City of Franklin and Southampton County are primarily serviced by two major electric providers, Dominion Virginia Power and Franklin Municipal Power & Light. Some rural sections of Southampton County operate through smaller community electric cooperatives.

Franklin Municipal Power & Light provides service to the City of Franklin and parts of the City of Suffolk, Southampton and Isle of Wight Counties.

Columbia Gas of Virginia provides natural gas to the Southampton Business Park. Plans are in the works to extend service to the Southampton Commerce & Logistics Center and Pretlow Industrial Park.
