CENTRAL VIRGINIA TRANSMISSION RELIABILITY PROJECTAMHERST REUSENS
The Amherst–Reusens phase includes:
• Rebuilding approximately 12 miles of
transmission line in or near existing
right-of-way
• Expanding the existing Monroe and
Amherst Substations
The project:
• Provides a new electrical source for the region
• Increases reliability for customers
• Supports the retirement of aging Infrastructure
The rebuild begins in Amherst County at
Amherst Substation located off U.S. Route 60.
The upgrades continue southeast for about
eight miles toward Monroe Substation located
off South Amherst Highway. From there, the
power line continues for four miles, crossing
the James River and ending at Reusens
Substation located off Old Trents Ferry Road
in the city of Lynchburg.
WHAT WHY WHERE
Appalachian Power representatives plan to upgrade the local electric transmission grid in Virginia. The Central Virginia Transmission Reliability Project provides a new electrical source for the region, increases reliability to customers and supports the retirement of aging equipment. The project includes several phases throughout the next few years.
The Amherst–Reusens phase involves rebuilding approximately 12 miles of transmission line and expanding two substations in Amherst County and the city of Lynchburg. Company representatives expect construction for this phase to begin in Fall 2022 and last about a year.
