Subject: Project Update: Haymarket Transmission Project, I-66 Hybrid Route Approved
On Thursday, July 26, 2018, the Virginia State Corporation Commission issued its final order approving the Haymarket transmission project and including it in the underground pilot program, as outlined in the Grid Transformation and Securities Act of 2018*. Their decision moves us one step closer to meeting the growing energy demands in western Prince William County. This represents another milestone that took thoughtful and patient hard work by all involved. We appreciate the collaborative effort it took to find a solution. Our focus is to complete this project in a courteous and respectful manner for the benefit of the region.
We are still a fair ways out from starting construction. Now that we have a final order, we will work in earnest to finalize our design and construction plans. As we move through the next steps in the process, we will continue to keep the community aware of our activities.
We will continue to keep you informed as developments occur. For project information and updates, please visit https://dominionenergy.com/haymarket

As always, we appreciate the community’s patience and continued involvement in this project.
Thank you,
