Frequently Asked Questions
Due to recent growth and future development on the horizon in Stafford County, there is a need for new electric transmission infrastructure investments to maintain grid reliability. This new infrastructure will allow us to meet the growing energy needs, continue reliable electric service, and maintain compliance with federal reliability standards.
Our project team will focus on public outreach in spring and summer 2024 to ensure all interested community members are aware of the project and have an opportunity to shareP feedback with our team as we continue the planning process. We intend to file an application with the SCC in fall 2024.
The SCC is the regulatory body with jurisdiction over transmission lines at or above 138 kilovolts (kV). Since this project is proposing to build a new double circuit 230 kV transmission line, it meets the criteria to be reviewed by the SCC. Dominion Energy intends to file an application in early fall 2024.
Although the SCC is the primary agency reviewing and ultimately approving the project, there may be additional permits needed from local, state, and federal agencies.
We want to hear your feedback. The purpose of our public engagement is to share, listen and learn from our community members. The SCC also considers public input in its review process. There are multiple ways to share your feedback with our team:
- Contact us by email at powerline@dominionenergy.com or by phone at (888) 291-0190
- Attend our community meetings.
- Invite us to your community or property.
Interested community members are welcome to request a separate meeting with our team. Whether you have a scheduling conflict during the community meeting dates, would like to discuss your property specifically, or would like to continue a discussion with our team following a community meeting, we are available for additional meetings by request.
Legal
The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) has a 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.
Dominion Energy submitted its application regarding this project on September 19, 2024. Documents related to the case are made available to the public on the SCC Docket website or search by Case No. PUR-2024-00170 in the Search Cases section. This project was approved on July 10, 2025.
