[Archived] Alexandria Ad Hoc Underground Transmission Line and Substation Working Group To Hold First Meeting

The City of Alexandria’s Ad Hoc Underground Transmission Line and Substation Working Group will meet this Thursday, September 11, 2014, from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., in City Hall Sister Cities Conference Room 1101, 301 King Street.  This meeting will review the mission for the Working Group and receive a presentation from Dominion Virginia Power on the need for the project. The meeting is open to the public.  

Dominion Virginia Power has approached the City of Alexandria regarding Dominion’s proposal to construct a new 230-kilovolt underground transmission line between Alexandria and Arlington in the vicinity of Jefferson Davis Highway and Potomac Yard. The project would add and upgrade equipment at the existing switching station on E. Abingdon Drive in Alexandria, and connect it to the Glebe Substation on S. Glebe Road in Arlington. The project does not involve the nearby former NRG Potomac River Generating Station, which is permanently closed.   

The City of Alexandria is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended. To request a reasonable accommodation, e-mail Geralyn.Taylor@alexandriava.gov or call 703.746.4084, Virginia Relay 711.
