The Albany Gazette - New River Electrical Opens Richmond Office To Better Serve Central Virginia Customers

Richmond's continued economic growth and increasing infrastructure investment make it a strategic location for NRE as utility providers work to strengthen and modernize the electrical grid. The Richmond office, NRE's third location in Virginia, reflects the company's continued investment in the region-supporting long-standing customers including Dominion Energy and Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC), while positioning the company to build relationships with additional utilities and cooperatives.

The Richmond team will execute NRE's full portfolio of services, including substation and transmission line construction up to 765kV, underground transmission, overhead and underground distribution, telecommunications, storm response, and industrial electrical systems. The office creates a centralized location for project management, engineering coordination, and customer engagement throughout Central Virginia.

"This investment in Richmond is about being closer to our customers and continuing to build on relationships we've developed over half a century," said Ike Poe, President and CEO of NRE. "As demand continues to grow, this office allows us to expand the services we provide, stay responsive to customer needs, and create new opportunities for employee-owners here in Virginia."

STRENGTHENING CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA

For more than seven decades, NRE has supported utility infrastructure across Virginia and the surrounding region. The Richmond office enhances the company's ability to connect more directly with customers-improving accessibility, communication, and responsiveness.

By establishing a local presence, NRE is positioned to grow within its existing customer base while pursuing new high-voltage construction, and EPC opportunities.

"Our customers expect strong execution, along with responsiveness, communication, and trust," said Jonathan Ginter, Senior Vice President of EPC Services. "Having a presence in Richmond allows us to be more accessible, more responsive, and more connected to the customers and communities we serve."

INVESTING IN PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES

As a 100% employee-owned company, NRE offers employees the opportunity to share directly in the company's long-term success through ownership. The Richmond office strengthens NRE's workforce in a growing market while creating career paths for individuals who want to build meaningful careers serving customers across Central Virginia.
