• Hoping For Better Design, Loudoun County Delays Vote On Golden Substation (patch.com) — Loudoun County supervisors have postponed their decision on the Golden substation’s design until Dec. 1, after hearing concerns from groups including the Loudoun Valley Estates Homeowners Association. Local leaders are pressing Dominion Energy for a more community-friendly design, while some supervisors question whether further delay could affect the county’s power reliability and its broader approach to data center-related infrastructure.
