This project will rebuild an existing 230 kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line from Dominion Energy’s Lightfoot Substation east of Toano, Virginia nearly four miles to Waller Substation on Waller Mill Road. We propose using single circuit steel H-frame structures. The project also includes rebuilding an existing 230 kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line from Dominion Energy’s Waller Substation approximately 6 miles to the Kingsmill Substation. We propose using single circuit steel H frame structures. For a short distance, less than two miles, we propose to rebuild using double circuit H-frame structures from Kingsmill Substation to the Skiffes Creek Substation.
This full rebuild project is approximately 12 miles long and generally south of interstate 64 and north of Williamsburg.
The project is necessary to replace aging infrastructure. After nearly five decades of service, the structures and related components are at the end of their service life and need to be replaced to maintain reliability for our customers.
Along the project route, the new structures will be taller than the existing structures.
