The Idylwood-Tysons Project is being proposed to enable Dominion Energy to continue to provide reliable power to the area.
Your engagement at our recent in-person and virtual community meetings was greatly appreciated. Our subject matter experts discussed the latest project information, timeline, and our new underground construction method, Direct Pipe®.
If you were unable to attend either meeting, a recording of the virtual meeting is posted below.
Updates
By approximately 2022, load on the existing lines in the Tysons and McLean areas of Fairfax County is forecast to exceed 300 megawatts. By constructing an additional source of power, Dominion Energy will avoid a potential violation of mandatory North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability standards. The Idylwood-Tysons 230 kilovolt (kV) Project is being proposed to enable Dominion Energy to continue to provide reliable power to the area.
Community Engagement

Presentations
The State Corporation Commission (SCC) is responsible for verifying the need, determining the route and reviewing the environmental impact of certain transmission lines in Virginia.
Application Documents
The project team worked with the local community to develop our route recommendation to the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Through two open houses held in Sept. 2017 and one held in Oct. 2019, the public met with our subject matter experts to learn details on the project. As we begin various components of the proposed project, it is important that we not only keep you informed, but we hear your feedback. We invite you to follow the progress of each phase and receive up-to-date project information, including allowable work hours, on our new and interactive web portal.
In addition, you may also contact us and add your address and email to our distribution list.
The new transmission line is being developed in a heavily populated, urban area. The decision to propose an underground line was influenced by space limitations and the potential to require a large amount of new right-of-way which would pose significant impacts on residences, wetlands, parks, and conservation easements.
