The existing 115kV Line No. 52 from Kitty Hawk to Nags Head
is forecasted to reach maximum capacity by 2012. A proposed second transmission
line is needed to provide the necessary service to support continued economic
growth on the Outer Banks and provide an alternate source of electrical service
to the area.
The 7.4-mile second 115kV line will alleviate overloading
of the existing line, provide an additional transmission source for the load
area and improve reliability by eliminating outages for the single contingency
loss of the existing transmission source south of Kitty Hawk.

The North Carolina Utilities Commission
issued an Order on September 18, 2007 that directs Dominion to proceed with

the east side of the Rt. 158 Bypass.
