Skiffes Creek – Yorktown
Dominion Energy is proposing to rebuild the existing segment of 230kV transmission line between the Skiffes Creek substation and C&O Junction.
Project Details
After five decades of reliable service, the infrastructure along this segment of electric transmission line is nearing its end of service life and needs to be replaced to maintain reliability. This project will not require new Right of Way (ROW.)

Legal
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.
Our SCC application review process
Once this project is submitted to the SCC, we will post our application and provide a link to the SCC’s case docket where you will find documents related to the case, as well as information on how to submit comments.
