West Virginia regulators rejected a delay in reviewing NextEra’s MidAtlantic Resiliency Link, a transmission project selected for regional expansion.

West Virginia regulators rejected a request to delay their review of NextEra’s MidAtlantic Resiliency Link (MARL). This is a procedural decision concerning the review timetable, not a reported final authorization to construct the transmission project.

PJM Interconnection selected MARL in 2023 as part of its regional expansion plan. The selection provides background to the current state-level review but is distinct from the West Virginia regulators’ latest action.

Utility Dive’s excerpt notes continuing questions about the project’s need and route. It does not supply the project’s cost, voltage, transmission capacity, length, revised hearing schedule, or any dedicated data-center customer commitment.
