Loudoun County is seeking public comments on draft amendments to the Loudoun County 2019 Comprehensive Plan related to the development and management of high-voltage transmission corridors.
The Electrical Infrastructure Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPAM-2024-0005) includes proposed map, text and policy amendments to Chapter 6 of the Loudoun County 2019 General Plan. The proposed changes provide a framework to guide electrical providers, Loudoun County staff, elected officials and other governmental decision-makers when determining where and how high-voltage transmission corridors should be developed and managed within the county.
The draft policies provide guidance on the location, siting, design and aesthetics of high-voltage transmission corridors and electrical infrastructure.
The draft Electrical Infrastructure Map identifies all existing, approved and potential new high voltage transmission corridors designated by the county as a component of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan.
This CPAM is not associated with current applications proposed by Dominion Energy for transmission line projects that are being considered by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC).
