Now that the U.S. Department of Energy has designated the Mid-Atlantic region as a “critical congestion area,” can’t you just take my land regardless of whether the state wants this line or not?
The main purpose of the Department of Energy designation is to highlight the areas where it is critical that we upgrade infrastructure to address congestion issues. PHI has been operating in this area since the 1920s and we have a well-established record of working with states and landowners to figure out solutions that work for everyone. We will listen carefully to input from state and local leaders as well as landowners along the route to try and meet the needs of people who will be affected by the line. It is important to remember that more than 80 percent of this line will be constructed on, or adjacent to, existing rights of way. Back to top.
