SCC Application

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 May 24, 2023, Dominion Energy filed its application with the SCC.

The SCC issued its Final Order approving the project on January 16, 2024. Documents related to the case are available to the public on the SCC Docket of the SCC website or search by Case No. PUR-2023-00088 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.
