Opposition to the TrAIL and PATH Transmission Lines
Utilities have proposed two unnecessary high-voltage transmission lines that would connect to the oldest and dirtiest coal-fired generation in the United States. TrAIL is a 500-kV Dominion/Allegheny project. PATH is a 765-kV AEP/Allegheny project.
The Wall Street Journal, PJM Interconnection and even the Department of Energy all show flat-lining electricity demand this year. Next year DOE expects demand to decrease.
The PATH 765-kV transmission line is a partnership between American Electric Power and Allegheny Power. The line would start near the Amos coal plant in West Virginia, travel northeast and pass through parts of Maryland and Virginia.
TrAIL is a transmission line proposed by Dominion Power and an Allegheny Power subsidiary, TrAILCo. The line would run from southwest Pennsylvania, through West Virginia, and end up in Loudoun County, Virginia.
