Mount Storm
to Doubs
ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION,
DOMINION VIRGINIA POWER
The 500-kilovolt Mount Storm to Doubs
transmission line helps serve as the
backbone of Dominion Virginia Power’s
electric grid. Serving a vital economic
corridor that includes the Washington,
D.C., metropolitan region, the line is
being rebuilt over the next few years
to carry more electricity to an area
that several data centers and millions
of people call home. The $350 million
transmission line rebuild is scheduled to
be completed in 2015.

The $2.7 billion Pipeline Infrastructure
Replacement project, which began in
2008, is aimed at replacing bare steel,
cast iron, wrought iron and copper pipe
on about 20 percent of Dominion East
Ohio’s 21,000-mile pipeline system. The
25-year program will promote continued
safety of the Dominion East Ohio system
and help ensure reliable service for the
local distribution company’s 1.2 million

Conversions
ELECTRIC GENERATION
CONVERSION PROJECTS,
DOMINION VIRGINIA POWER
The Altavista Power Station in
Central Virginia (at left) is one of three
small coal-fired stations that Dominion
Virginia Power is converting to burn
renewable biomass. The $157 million
conversions are expected to have a
capacity of 153 megawatts when they
come online in late 2013. Another
conversion is expected at Bremo,
which would burn natural gas rather
than coal. That coal-to-gas conversion
would enter service in 2014 and cost
$53 million.
Warren County
NATURAL GAS-FIRED
ELECTRIC GENERATION,
DOMINION VIRGINIA POWER
Expected to join Dominion Virginia
Power’s generation fleet in late 2014,
Warren County is a $1.1 billion natural
gas-fired power station development
in the northwestern part of Virginia.
The combined-cycle facility, which
efficiently uses gas and exhaust-heat
steam to spin turbines, is expected to
generate 1,329 megawatts, or
enough electricity to power more than
330,000 homes and businesses in
Virginia and North Carolina.
