Needs and Benefits

Meeting the current and future needs

of the Hampton Roads region

Columbia Gas Transmission’s (TCO) Virginia Reliability Project (VRP) would replace two existing segments of the TCO pipeline system to ensure reliable and abundant natural gas supply. TCO has been providing energy to the Hampton Roads region for more than 70 years through their existing pipeline system. As demand for natural gas rises across the region, these updates will improve natural gas reliability and help meet the current and future needs of the Hampton Roads region.

The project involves replacing approximately 48 miles of 12-inch diameter pipeline with 24-inch diameter pipeline with state-of-the-art steel pipe along with technology that will help enhance reliability along the TCO system.

Scheduling

The project is expected to begin construction in Q1/Q2 of 2024 with a projected in-service date of November 1, 2025.

TC Energy has been providing safe, reliable service for heating and cooling purposes in Southern Virginia for over 50 years and strives to continue to be a good neighbor. Additionally, affected landowners, towns, communities and local, state, and federal governments and agencies involved in the project will be notified.
