Electric transmission planning engineers conduct studies to evaluate scenarios where the loss of electric transmission assets would result in an overload on the grid. This project proactively addresses the issues identified in these studies to maintain federal reliability standards and strengthen grid resiliency.
The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) is responsible for verifying the need, determining the route and reviewing the environmental impact of certain transmission lines in Virginia.
The company intends to file its application with the SCC in 2021. Documents related to the case will be available to the public on the SCC Docket Search section of the SCC website in the "Search Cases" section. In addition, interested parties may comment directly to the SCC by sending an email to sccinfo@scc.virginia.gov.
