Supreme Court Takes On Data Center Power Lines | Washington DC News

Loudoun Valley Estates homeowners are taking Dominion Energy’s Golden-Mars transmission lines to the Virginia Supreme Court, arguing the state’s approval process unfairly dumps the burden of powering Northern Virginia’s booming data centers onto their neighborhood—near schools, with towering infrastructure and plummeting property values. As the State Corporation Commission shuts down appeals, the community’s last hope lies with the Supreme Court, while a crucial meeting looms between local officials and the school board to potentially reshape the route—before the commission’s authority expires. This isn’t just about power lines—it’s about who pays for progress, and whether public necessity should mean one community bears the cost.
