Transmission line proposals to serve the explosive growth of data centers in Virginia over the past few years have begun to roll in. On October 31, 2023, PJM, the organization that coordinates electricity transmission in 13 states and the District of Columbia, published their preferred options out of an original, larger set of proposals identified on September 5. The preferred options will be discussed again at the next PJM Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee meeting on December 5, 2023 and then sent to the PJM Board of Managers for review.
In the meantime, PEC has published this online web map to make it easier to view the proposals in one place.
