Why is this project needed?

The structures along this 28-mile corridor have been in service for more than five decades and need replacing to maintain reliable electric service. Additionally, to address load growth in the region, Dominion Energy proposes new 500 kV structures that can also accommodate a 230 circuit underneath, also known as 5-2 structures.

Additionally, to support the load growth mentioned above, a second 230 kV circuit will be installed on existing structures with vacant arms in a nearby corridor.

How can the public be involved in the process?

Dominion Energy will host a community meetings in early Spring 2025, at which the public can hear from subject matter experts and ask questions related to the project. You can also contact us to add your mailing address and email address to our distribution list by calling 888-291-0190 or sending an email to powerline@dominionenergy.com.

Who has oversight and approval over this project?

The SCC is the regulatory body with jurisdiction over transmission lines in Virginia. Dominion Energy intends to file an application in spring 2025.

Although the SCC is the primary agency reviewing and ultimately approving the project, there may be additional permits needed from local, state, and federal agencies.

Does my feedback matter and how can I share it with Dominion Energy?

We want to hear your feedback. The purpose of our public engagement is to share, listen and learn from our community members. The SCC also considers public input in its review process. There are multiple ways to share your feedback with our team:

I’m unable to attend the open house meetings. Are there other opportunities for a meeting?
