GROUNDED IN WHAT MATTERS TODAY

The MidAtlantic Resiliency Link proposal was selected by the area’s regional grid operator as part of a set of solutions necessary to address the regional grid’s reliability needs in the coming years.

Why it’s important

The MidAtlantic Resiliency Link is designed to help modernize our energy infrastructure, bringing more reliable power to millions of people in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia. 

ONGOING ROUTING STUDY

No route has been selected at this time. We are currently conducting a detailed routing study to identify and evaluate potential route options. These route options were shared at our open houses in May 2025. This involves collecting data to help identify constraints, such as sensitive habitats and cultural resources, as well as opportunities like paralleling existing transmission lines, roadways, and other linear infrastructure.

The survey period is now closed. All feedback is being taken into consideration for route refinement. Should you have any questions or comments for us, we can be reached via MARL@nexteraenergy.com or 833-849-1461.
