The Virginia Supreme Court has upheld permits for construction of the Virginia portion of a multistate power line.
Dominion Virginia Power and a subsidiary of Pennsylvania-based Allegheny Energy Inc. plan to build the 500-kilovolt transmission line between Washington County, Pa., and Loudoun County, Va. The 265-mile line would also run across northern West Virginia.
The Piedmont Environmental Council and other opponents of the project claimed the State Corporation Commission did not act in the best interests of Virginians when it approved the power line. But the Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that the commission's decision was supported by the evidence.
