Public Meeting Notice: Charlottesville-Gordonsville 230kV Rebuild
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – Dominion Energy is committed to providing the reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy that powers your every day as energy. Your area, as well as other communities throughout Virginia, is experiencing growing energy demands.
To meet this increased demand, 20 miles of existing single-circuit 230 kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line between our Charlottesville and Gordonsville substations needs to be rebuilt and reconductored as double-circuit 230kV structures.
This project is currently in the development stage, with plans to file an application with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) in early 2026. Consider joining us to learn more about this project at our two community meetings:
Gordonsville:
- Wednesday, February 25
- 6:00 - 8:00 PM
- Gordon-Barbour Elementary School - 500 W Baker Street, Gordonsville, VA 22942
Charlottesville:
- Tuesday, March 3
- 5:00 - 7:00 PM
- Courtyard Marriott Charlottesville University Medical Center - 1201 W Main Street, Charlottesville, VA 22903
During the meetings, you can speak to project team members and ask them detailed questions about the project. There will not be a formal presentation, so please feel free to stop by between the scheduled times for either date.
Your continued involvement, participation, and input are important in developing this project. Thank you for understanding as we work to maintain reliable service in your community.
