PEC

From Page A3

To no avail, PEC has sought from Dominion “information on (electricity) demand, where it came from? How much (electricity) forecasts are? Source of need” and the like, said PEC volunteer Mitch Diamond, who headed the energy division of Booz Allen Hamilton, a major consulting firm with offices in Washington.

“It’s so important to understand how electricity gets divided among” residential, commercial, industrial and other users, Diamond suggested. “That’s the only way you can analyze” Dominion’s power line request, which the State Corporation Commission (SCg) will either deny or approve in some fashion, he said.

The utility plans to submit an application for a line to the commission in the spring. So far Dominion has given PEC only a simple bar chart, which under a confidentiality agreer ment the environmental group cannot disclose or discuss.
