The Kraken Loop Project is a proposal by Dominion Energy to construct a new, approximately 70-mile 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line through Louisa, Spotsylvania, Caroline, Stafford, and Fauquier counties. The line will go from Lake Anna to the Kraken Substation in Caroline County and will eventually to a proposed substation in Fauquier County.

Kraken’s 170 foot tall monopoles require a 120 foot wide right of way access – almost as wide as I-95 — that will require clear cutting of millions of trees, devastating our ecosystems lowering property values, and raising taxes throughout these counties.

Thousands of Stafford’s children are imperiled by the Kraken Loop project. The Kraken’s lines are planned to pass directly over the fields at Mountain View High School, Rodney Thompson Middle School, and Margaret Brent Elementary School.

The Kraken will emit EMF frequencies, which are associated with an increase in childhood leukemia rates.

The Kraken will emit a loud, constant buzz that will distract and upset children with audio sensitivities and may violate Stafford’s noise ordinances. Click play on the video below to hear what similar 500kV lines’ buzz sounds like:

First off, you’re a good person who cares about the community, which is why you’re here on this website, and you know something doesn’t have to be happening in your backyard to be important.

You may not know that the Kraken will decrease property values for hundreds of homes and businesses in the area, which means a loss in tax revenue. Stafford County will have to raise taxes on everyone in order to compensate for that lost tax revenue. That means you will pay higher taxes if the Kraken is built as proposed.
