Mid-Atlantic Resiliency Link (MARL) / Gore-Doubs-Goose Creek -500kV
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. There are two cases but it is the same transmission line!
First Energy' s segment is called Gore-Doubs-Goose Creek . This proposal is a rebuild of the 138kV transmission line structures to a 185' pole with a new 500kV and the existing 138kV line underbuilt. There are new 200' ROW's around existing substations.
NextERA's segment is called the Mid-Atlantic Resiliency Link (MARL). This proposal is to take a new 200' easement for siting the 500kV line through West Virginia.

You don't have to live in West Virginia to submit comments. You can file comments with the PSC for both dockets. Submit your comments for both cases NOIE Potomac Edison 25D and NextERA Energy 26-0075-E-CN (Submit your comments 2x one for each docket number!!)
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 in either West VA PSC case be sure to include a request for the PSC that if the transmission line is not denied by West Virginia, that the approval be contingent on the second transmission line case in West Virginia as well as the other segments being approved in all other states (Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia)
If you are impacted you may want to subscribe to these cases to receive an email when documents are filed. (See instructions below)
Valley Link North (Amos-Welton Springs - Rocky Point) - 765kV
Valley Link North will impact the West Virginia counties of Putnam, Kanawha, Roane, Calhoun, Braxton, Lewis, Upshur, Barbour, Tucker, Preston, Grant, Hardy, Hampshire and Jefferson. A new pass-through 765kV substation is planned for Hardy County.
Typically, 765kV substations take 80 - 120 acres . New 200' easements will be taken for the entire length of the 765kV line, the lines are proposed to be on v-structs with guyed-wire. These are the largest structures and highest voltage available. This infrastructure is massive and will be a significant industrialization of the area if it is approved.
Valley Link is already engaging with "local officials, legislators, politicians, and businesses" about the project and its route through private meetings. *** These are not property owners! Start talking to your local officials polititions and legislators now!
See the Valley Link North Project Site for additional information. (Maps have not been posted yet, open houses are expected Summer of 2026)
