## Resource

West Virginia residents are caught in a power struggle over a massive new transmission line meant to fuel Northern Virginia’s booming data centers — and confusion over who gets to speak at public hearings is sparking outrage. While some were told they could testify, legal staff and the Public Service Commission clarified that only a later evidentiary hearing in Charleston will allow full participation. The project, the Mid-Atlantic Resiliency Link, cuts through 60 miles of West Virginia, raising fears that ratepayers will pay the price — even as three more hearings loom. It’s a messy clash of agendas, with locals demanding transparency and accountability as the state grapples with who benefits and who bears the cost.
