New 500KV power line in rural Loudoun County impacts all residents now and for future generations.
Rural Loudoun, despite developmental pressure, has remained a haven for agriculture and agritourism, open spaces, environmental conservation, and historic preservation. Building transmission lines through Rural Loudoun would impact all of Loudoun’s residents (past, present, and future), our environment, and put our historical legacy at risk.
As part of the Mid-Atlantic Resiliency Link, PJM Interconnection has awarded a contract to NextEra Energy based on their current proposal to build a new 500KV transmission line power corridor in Rural Loudoun. The Loudoun Transmission Alliance calls upon NextEra to reconsider their plan and build transmission lines within existing power corridors.
