Powering Possibilities

The MidAtlantic Resiliency Link proposal was selected in 2023 by PJM, the area’s Regional Transmission Operator, as part of a set of solutions needed to address the regional grid’s reliability needs.

Why it’s important

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

COMPLETED ROUTING STUDY

Through an extensive routing study process, we identified ways to minimize effects on landowners and the environment while meeting regional energy needs.

Our proposed route reflects extensive community feedback. We hosted eight open houses along the proposed route, where nearly 1,200 attendees interacted with our team. We analyzed over 1,200 comments from community members at open houses and through online surveys. We engaged in one-on-one meetings with local commissioners and elected officials, and held more than 300 meetings with local organizations, businesses and associations. We are submitting these proposed routes to the respective state public service commission. Each one can take 1-2 years to review the full application and analyses. We expect to hear a decision on the final route they determine by Spring 2027.
