Rapid growth in electrical demand, particularly in the commercial/high-tech sector in eastern Loudoun County has resulted in the need to build a new transmission line and sub station. This project will improve electric reliability for all customers in the region.

At Dominion Energy, we are committed to reviewing and analyzing our energy infrastructure and doing this work safely to provide reliable electric service. Three primary forces drive the need for new electric transmission infrastructure:

  • Economic development, such as population growth or business expansion
  • Aging assets, such as decades old structures that need to be replaced
  • Complying with mandatory standards to ensure safety and reliability

These drivers often overlap, and at Dominion Energy, we believe solutions should always account for future energy needs while continuing to balance cost and impacts.

Benefits

  • Complies with mandatory standards to ensure safety, reliability and to meet future needs
  • Minimizes impact to the community and environment
