What is a substation?
A substation is a facility that changes voltage from high to low or from low to high, among other important functions. When electric transmission lines enter a substation, the voltage is lowered using transformers. The lower voltage electricity is delivered to customers using electric distribution lines.
Why is this project necessary?
Why is a detour necessary and how can I review the detour plan?
Because construction will occur on the sidewalk surrounding the substation, this area will not be accessible for pedestrians or cyclists while we work. To keep community members safe and minimize disruptions while we work, Dominion Energy has created a detour plan to allow traffic to continue around the canal sidewalks. This plan has been reviewed by local stakeholders and approved by the City of Richmond. Signage will be placed near the work site to help community members navigate the area during this time.
Access to private properties and driveways will be maintained at all times.

Will I lose power during construction?
Interruptions to your electric service are not anticipated as a result of this project.
