Dooms-Charlottesville
230 kV Electric Transmission Rebuild
The Dooms-Charlottesville 230 kV Electric Transmission Rebuild Project proposes to rebuild approximately 22 miles of single-circuit electric transmission line between our Dooms Substation in Augusta County and Charlottesville Substation in Albemarle County. The new structures will allow us to meet the growing energy needs, continue providing reliable electric service, and maintain compliance with federal reliability standards.

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 10/23/25, Dominion Energy filed its application with the SCC. Documents related to the case are available to the public on the SCC Docket of the SCC website or search by Case No. PUR-2025-00189 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. Please note, the mailbox may not be available until a scheduling order is issued, typically several weeks after an application is filed.
