At Dominion Energy, we are dedicated to maintaining reliable and secure electric service in the communities we serve. The electric transmission lines that run between our Fredericksburg Substation and Possum Point Substation are at the end of their service life and need to be rebuilt to continue providing reliable electric service. The project will also upgrade the line along this route from 115 kilovolts (kV) to 230 kV to increase the current capacity to address increased energy demand in the area. This will include reconductoring, or replacing the wires, and replacing existing structures.
We originally announced this project in February 2023. Since then, our team has re-evaluated engineering needs, and we will now accomplish this project in two phases. Phase 1 will rebuild the existing transmission corridor, mostly within the existing right of way, between our Fredericksburg Substation in the City of Fredericksburg and our Aquia Harbour Substation in Stafford County. Phase 2 will rebuild the existing transmission corridor between our Aquia Harbour Substation in Stafford County and our Possum Point Substation in Prince William County.
Currently, we are in the process of evaluating Phase 1. Information on this site currently pertains to Phase 1 only. Information on Phase 2 will commence at a later date, once our project team begins to evaluate that part of the project.
Use our interactive map tool and enter your address to see where you live in relation to this transmission line rebuild project. This tool will show you existing structure type, proposed structure type, and associated differences. You can also view photo simulations along the line and other important features too.
