Kraken Loop

The Project includes building a new, approximately 70-mile 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line through Louisa, Spotsylvania, Caroline, Stafford, and Fauquier counties. The line will connect the existing North Anna Substation to the proposed Kraken Substation in Caroline County and will ultimately tie into the proposed Yeat Substation in Fauquier County. This investment strengthens the grid, supports Virginia’s energy security, and ensures reliable power for your community.

The Project is in the early stages of development. As part of determining potential routes, Dominion Energy will conduct surveys to identify environmental, cultural, and historic resources, as well as any threatened and endangered species. Your input will help refine potential routes before they are reviewed and approved by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC).
