This project was approved for construction by the State Corporation Commission (SCC) on April 24, 2023. Please refer to the legal page to review the Final Order. This project will replace the wire, a process known as reconductoring, along a transmission line between our Bristers Substation, near Cromwell Road and Seneca Lake Drive in southeast Fauquier County, and our Minnieville Substation, near Minnieville Elementary School in Prince William County. During this process, several structures, built in the 1940s-1960s, will need to be replaced, due to age and deteriorating conditions. Doing so, will help maintain electric reliability for our customers in the area.

Identifying danger trees in the electric transmission right of way is an important step in the preconstruction process. Danger trees are trees located outside the right of way that have the potential to fall within 10 feet of the proposed transmission line. Removing this vegetation is necessary to maintain safe and dependable electric service in your community.
In late March, a certified pilot will use an FAA-registered drone to conduct danger tree surveys along the 15.2-mile electric transmission line between Bristers and Minnieville substations. Utilizing drones to identify danger trees is safe, efficient, accurate, and leaves a small carbon footprint.
The equipment has been in service for 60-80 years and needs to be replaced.
There may be some traffic delays.
Noise levels will be moderate; permits are in place.
This project may have limited environmental impacts.
Access to surrounding neighborhoods may be impacted.
