At Dominion Energy, we are dedicated to finding the best solution for the long-term energy needs within the communities we serve. As we remain focused on reliability and resiliency, we have identified a transmission line crossing Lexington, Newberry and Richland counties for upgrades. This project will enhance wind resistance during severe weather and provide more reliable and resilient power to the Chapin region.
Dominion Energy and its contractors will replace 15 miles of 115-kilovolt (kV) steel lattice tower structures with self-supporting galvanized steel poles. The new line will be designed to meet all modern electric codes as well as provide additional reliability to our customers. The rebuilt lines will be constructed along existing right of way between the Ballentine and Little Mountain communities.
Letters will be sent out to impacted property owners along the route as Dominion Energy progresses through construction.
