POWERING THE FUTURE

Reliable Energy for the region

The proposed MidAtlantic Resiliency Link is designed to deliver reliable electricity for homes, businesses and communities in the region for decades to come.

MidAtlantic Resiliency Link

A strong electric grid means fewer outages. The proposed MidAtlantic Resiliency Link project would strengthen the electric grid, and help power what matters most – our homes, our businesses and our way of life. Part of a broader initiative to enhance our region's electric grid, this proposed transmission project consists of building a new approximately 107.5-mile 500-kV transmission line that connects a substation in Pennsylvania – just over the border from Morgantown, West Virginia – to a connection point near Gore, Virginia. The project includes a new 500/138-kV substation in Frederick County, Virginia as well as an interconnect to an existing substation on the Maryland side of the West Virginia border that can enable increased local energy distribution.
