Chesterfield-Lanexa
230 kV Electric Transmission Rebuild
Project Details
Dominion Energy is proposing to rebuild a double-circuit 230 kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line between our Chesterfield and Lanexa Substations. The structures along this 28-mile corridor have been in operation for more than five decades and will be rebuilt to maintain reliable electric service.
The SCC issued its Final Order approving the project on March 2, 2026.

Project announcement
The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) is responsible for verifying the need, determining the route, and reviewing the environmental impact of certain transmission lines in Virginia. Key filing documents will also be available on this page.
On September 10, 2025, 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-2025-00154 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. The SCC issued its Final Order approving the project on March 2, 2026.
