Chase City to Cloud
Project Overview
The Chase City to Cloud 230 kilovolt project will add new electric transmission infrastructure along a 15-mile corridor in Mecklenburg County.
Dominion Energy will add two new 230 kilovolt (kV) electric transmission lines along an existing 15-mile corridor in Mecklenburg County. The two new 230 kV lines will be constructed next to an existing 115 kV line, accommodating economic growth and meeting data center demand. The project will begin just west of the Chase City Substation and make its way southeast towards the Cloud Substation, near Boydton, VA. The lines will cross the Tobacco Heritage Trail near the southern end of the the project.
Benefits

Legal
SCC
The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) has regulatory authority over all energy providers in Virginia. Among other responsibilities, the SCC validates the need for a proposed line and approves the route and structures. In reviewing a proposed project, the SCC must consider whether potential impacts on scenic assets, historic districts and the environment have been reasonably minimized.
On 6/30/21, Dominion Energy filed its application with the SCC. The SCC issued its Final Order approving the project on 2/22/22. Documents related to the case are available to the public on the SCC Docket of the SCC website or search by Case No. PUR-2021-00137 in the " Search Cases " section. In addition, interested parties may visit the SCC Case Comments Page where individual mailboxes are available for each case accepting public comments.
