Cirrus-Keyser
230 kV Rebuild and Reconductor
Project Overview
The Cirrus-Keyser 230 kV Transmission Line Rebuild project will rebuild an existing transmission line corridor with new structures and higher capacity wire. This project will support economic growth and increased energy demand in your area.
Dominion Energy plans to build two new substations, Cirrus and Keyser, and install a temporary transmission line to support area energy reliability during construction. Cirrus and Keyser will be adjacent to the existing Mountain Run Substation.
On 11/21/22, Dominion Energy filed its application with the Virginia State Corporation Commission. The SCC issued its Final Order approving the project on 12/23/23.
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 11/21/22, Dominion Energy filed its application with the SCC. The SCC issued its Final Order approving the project on 12/23/23. Documents related to the case are available to the public on the SCC Docket of the SCC website or search by Case No. PUR-2022-00198 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.
