These meetings are on their proposed transmission line to presumably take up the slack in the closing of the Yorktown coal plant. Here is an opportunity to turn out some folks to hammer on Dominion's failed RPS program and the need for offshore wind. Can CCAN (Hannah) help with turn out efforts? We'll do an e-mail blast to our folks and get some calls out to our activitsts. I'll work on an alert this morning. Glen.

INFORMATIONAL OPEN HOUSE EVENTS
Dominion is committed to providing reliable electricity to our customers.
Electrical demand in the Hampton Roads area is projected to increase by more than 20 percent by summer 2020. This growth will place a strain on the electrical grid, and create the potential for overloads and violations of North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability standards. Recently announced plans for retirement of local generation facilities have accelerated the need for new transmission lines to be built and in service by late 2014.
Dominion is now looking into the potential of developing transmission lines utilizing previously acquired right-of-way asements, see map below. We plan to file an application with the Virginia SCC in early 2012 and invite the public to learn more about the project by attending community meetings or visiting our website.

Does anyone know if this will benefit renewable energies in any way, e.g. wind power or solar?
