• May 2019 - Line construction is completed. 
• April 2019 - Rehab and restoration activities are underway.
• February 2019 - Phase 2 construction completed. Rehab activities ongoing.
• November 2018 - Phase 3 construction started in Albemarle and Augusta counties.

As approved by the State Corporation Commission (SCC), the galvanized lattice structures will be chemically pre-dulled to mute the finish of the galvanized sheen. The conductor (line) will be dulled to mute its reflectivity.

Approximate total line length is 33 miles.

Typical structure description – The existing 500kV structures average 106 feet tall with a range from 72 feet to 149 feet. The preliminary approximate heights of the proposed towers range from 108 feet to 174 feet with an overall average height of 134 feet over this 32-mile rebuild project. Compared to the existing structures, the increase in average height is 28 feet. View existing and proposed configurations below:

• Section #1 – 0.8 mile*

• Section #3 – 2 miles*
• Section #4 – 18.9 miles*
• Section #5 – 9 miles*
• Section #6 – 0.7 mile*

Photo Simulations

The following simulations compare the existing and proposed views.

Photo simulations and diagrams provide representational views of proposed electric transmission facilities. These illustrations do not necessarily depict exact structure design or physical placement. All projects are subject to change and to final engineering.

Timeline

• May 2019 - Target date to energize the rebuilt transmission line
• October 9, 2018 - Postcard sent to neighbors announcing Phase 3 construction informational meeting
• Summer 2017 - Secure necessary permits for construction; pending SCC approval, construction scheduled to begin
• May 5, 2017 - The SCC issued its final order, granting Dominion Energy a CPCN and approving the line for construction
• Early 2016 - File application with the State Corporation Commission (SCC)
• February 2016 - Informational open houses in Crozet, Waynesboro, Charlottesville
• Late 2015/Early 2016 - Public outreach to counties, elected officials and adjacent property owners

• May 5, 2017 - The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) issued its Final Order regarding our Cunningham-Dooms 500 kV rebuild project. The SCC found that the line is necessary and issued its permit for Dominion Energy to rebuild the 32.7 mile line. As part of its order, The Commission directed Dominion Energy to chemically dull the structures as a means to mitigate the visual impacts.
• March 2, 2016 - Dominion Energy filed its application with the SCC seeking review and approval. On November 9, 2016, the SCC Hearing Examiner issued his final report and recommendations. In his report, the Hearing Examiner recommends to the Commission, among other things, that there is a need for the project, that Dominion Energy’s proposed rebuild project reasonably minimizes impacts and to issue Dominion Energy a certificate of public convenience and necessity.
• March 2, 2016 - Dominion Energy filed an application with the SCC - The SCC is responsible for determining the need, route and environmental impact of transmission lines at 138kV and above in Virginia.
