What’s the fate of Loudoun’s controversial Golden to Mars transmission line?
The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) approved Route 3A for Dominion Energy’s Golden to Mars transmission line in Loudoun County after the school board delayed approval for the initially selected Route 4. The SCC described Route 3A as 'clearly inferior' but necessary to avoid delays in ensuring reliable electricity, despite community and official preferences for an underground route deemed infeasible.
