Valley Link proposes 260-mile high-voltage transmission line

Piedmont Environmental Council is issuing an alert about a proposed transmission line project and an open house, rather than announcing a new project itself.

• Valley Link Transmission, a joint venture between Dominion Energy and two other utilities, has sent notices for the Amos-Rocky Point / “Valley North” project and is holding an open house on July 7, 2026 in Berryville, Virginia.
• The proposed line would run 260 miles at 765 kV from the John Amos coal plant in West Virginia to the Rocky Point substation in Maryland; Valley Link also plans a 2027 SCC filing for a certificate of public convenience and necessity.
• The article argues the project is driven by Dominion’s growing data center queue, which it says has reached 70 GW, and notes the project could require a 200-foot right-of-way and towers about 160 feet tall.
