Local Benefits
Reliable Power for Local Communities
At NextEra Energy Transmission MidAtlantic, we believe in cultivating strong relationships and contributing to the well-being of the communities our projects call home. Being good neighbors is important to us. The proposed MidAtlantic Resiliency Link will improve the reliability of the electric grid, allowing it to better withstand extreme weather events and other disruptions. Learn about the positive impacts of the project below.
Reliability
The MidAtlantic Resiliency Link will increase electric reliability, minimizing the likelihood of outages. The project was selected as part of a portfolio of transmission solutions to address reliability concerns resulting from the retirement of power generation sources, support for cleaner power sources and additional electricity demand in the region.
Resiliency
The proposed project will improve the resiliency of the regional electric grid, allowing it to better withstand extreme weather events.
Economy
The MidAtlantic Resiliency Link project will introduce new short-term and long-term job opportunities for local residents.
Support for Essential Services
Upgrading transmission lines will ensure that essential services, such as hospitals and fire stations, have access to reliable energy, particularly in some of the more rural areas of the region.
