Mid -Atlantic Resiliancy Link (MARL) / Gore-Doubs-Goose Creek

NextERA is proposing to take a new 200' easement for their portion of the 500kV line through Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

The Mid -Atlantic Resiliancy Link (MARL) and Gore-Doubs-Goose Creek projects are two segments of the same transmission line. The energy is being pulled from multiple West Virginia power plants from the 502 Junction in Pennsylvania to the delivery point - the Goose Creek Substation - in Loudoun County's Data Center Alley. Pennsylvania is only impacted by the Mid -Atlantic Resiliancy Link (MARL) segment.

There is no federal backstop for siting this line - if any one of the states denies it the transmission line will not be built. If you are intervening be sure to include a request for the PUC that if the line is not denied by Pennsylvania, that the approval be contingent on all of the transmission line components - both the Mid -Atlantic Resiliancy Link (MARL) and Gore-Doubs-Goose Creek segments - being approved in all other states (West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia).
