New 500-kV Power Line Proposed
Dominion and Allegheny Power have announced plans for a 500-kilovolt power line through Frederick, Warren, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier, Prince William and Loudoun counties. The proposed towers would stand up to 177 feet tall and require a 150-200 foot wide right-of-way. The line would cut through private land, publicly held open space, neighborhoods, historic sites, historic districts, magnificent viewsheds and a high concentration of conservation easements. Allegheny and PJM Interconnection are seeking federal eminent domain authority (through FERC) for the siting of this line.
