The Goose Creek 500 kilovolt (kV) Substation Expansion Project will install new electric transmission equipment at our existing Goose Creek 500 kV Substation in Loudoun County, Virginia. Northern Virginia, especially Loudoun County, is experiencing increasing energy demands which is driving the need for additional capacity in the electric transmission system to ensure reliability and resiliency for all customers. This project will improve electric reliability for all customers in the area.
The substation’s existing footprint will expand southward on Dominion Energy-owned property to accommodate new equipment. Pre-construction activities, including site preparation and vegetation management, are planned to begin in late 2022. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2023 and end in December 2023, weather-permitting. The Goose Creek Substation Expansion Project is co-located with two other substations.
The W&OD Trail is located northeast of our substation. Trail users will notice activity, but we do not anticipate any impacts to the trail as a result of this substation project. However, there is another electric transmission line project occurring in this area along the W&OD Trail. To learn about those impacts, visit DominionEnergy.com/Belmont.
