This project will rebuild an existing 230 kilovolt line located in the cities of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach. The 8.5-mile line connects our Landstown and Thrasher substations. The project will replace a total of 46 structures on this stretch of line – including 44 steel lattice structures. These existing structures stand 111 feet tall on average and are located in an existing 120-foot right of way corridor. The line has been in operation for over five decades and needs to be replaced to ensure the integrity of the electric grid.

The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) has regulatory authority over all energy providers in Virginia and requires certification for all transmission lines out of the ordinary course of doing business or are at or above 138 kV. 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.
