Multistate
power line gets approval from Virginia
RICHMOND,
Va. -- Regulators in Virginia have given the green light to a multistate
high-voltage power line proposed for the northern part of the state.
In a ruling
today, the State Corporation Commission concluded the proposed power line meets
standards set by Virginia law and must be approved.
As proposed,
the line would run from southwestern Pennsylvania across West Virginia to
northern Virginia.
The 240-mile
line is intended to increase electrical supplies to 13 eastern states.
In Virginia,
the project is proposed by Dominion Virginia Power and Trans-Allegheny
Interstate Line company.
