LTLA Declaration on the NextEra MARL Project

In late 2023, a proposal by NextEra Energy to put 500kV transmission lines through rural Loudoun was accepted by PJM Interconnection to support the growing power needs of the data center industry. These lines, as proposed, would go directly through agricultural areas (including DC Wine Country), protected open spaces, and protected historic areas like the Waterford National Historic Landmark. If constructed, these lines will have a serious and long lasting adverse effect to local economy, agriculture, communities, and preservation/conservation efforts.

With that in mind, the Waterford Foundation Inc. convened the Loudoun Transmission Line Alliance (LTLA) in January 2024 to organize a concentrated opposition campaign with many other preservation, conservation, community, tourism, and business representative organizations. The LTLA's position is that all transmission lines should be built within existing power corridors. We call upon NextEra Energy to avoid building a new power corridor through rural Loudoun County in view of the negative impacts of such construction on the agricultural community, local economy, heritage and natural resources, and residents of the region. Below is a copy of the full Declaration. A PDF version is also available on our website.
