Prince William County Denies Dominion Energy's $300M Switching Station Upgrade
What happened
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors unanimously opposed Dominion Energy’s request for a gas-insulated switching-station upgrade in Prince William County. The project, located at 13405 Vint Hill Road, was valued at about $300 million and would have added 500-kilovolt equipment and new 230-kilovolt infrastructure. The board had previously deferred the special use permit for the project.
