Cirrus-Keyser
230 kV Rebuild and Reconductor
Project Overview
To accommodate continued economic growth in the area, we will need to rebuild the existing transmission lines. This rebuild effort will require new, taller structures and a higher capacity wire - increasing the voltage from 115 kilovolts to 230 kilovolts. Additionally, two new substations, referred to as Cirrus and Keyser, will be required on existing customer property, adjacent to where the current Mountain Run substation is located.

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.
