Dominion proposes to construct a double-circuit 230kV line
in Caroline County. This
approximately 5-mile line is planned between the Ladysmith Generation Facility
Site and the existing Bear Island-Fredericksburg 230kV Line, and will be built
entirely within an existing, cleared right-of-way.
The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) application for Ladysmith CT-Line #251 Junction was filed by Dominion on February 22, 2008.
The company filed
an application with the SCC for two
additional combustion turbine units at its Ladysmith Generation Site and received
a Final Order granting a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity on August
24, 2007. The new transmission line is necessary to interconnect these planned
generation facilities to the power grid. It also helps ensure the future reliability
of the transmission line network.
The
proposed transmission line is planned on an existing 250-foot right-of-way.
The Ladysmith-Possum Point 500kV line is located on the south side of this
easement. The new transmission line will be constructed along the north side
of the easement and is needed by May, 2010.
