At Dominion Energy, we are committed to providing safe, secure, and reliable energy to all our customers. The Bristers-Minnieville project involves replacing the wire, a process known as reconductoring, between Bristers Substation, near Cromwell Road and Seneca Lake Drive in southeast Fauquier County, and Minnieville Substation, near Minnieville Elementary School in Prince William County.
As part of this project, crews will also replace a number of structures and components of this line, as they are at the end of their service life.
On April 24, 2023, the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) approved our plan. Please refer to the legal page to review the Final Order.
Identifying danger trees in the electric transmission right of way is an important step in the preconstruction process. Danger trees are trees located outside the right of way that have the potential to fall within 10 feet of the proposed transmission line. Removing this vegetation is necessary to maintain safe and dependable electric service in your community.
In March 2024, a certified pilot conducted danger tree surveys along the 15.2-mile electric transmission line between Bristers and Minnieville substations using an FAA-registered drone. Utilizing drones to identify danger trees is safe, efficient, accurate, and leaves a small carbon footprint.
The equipment has been in service for 60-80 years and needs to be replaced.
There may be some traffic delays.
Noise levels will be moderate; permits are in place.
This project may have limited environmental impacts.
