CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Today Chickahominy Power, LLC announced the cancelation of its as-yet-unbuilt Chickahominy Power Station, a 1,600-megawatt power plant that the company planned to service with an unregulated gas pipeline cutting through five counties in central Virginia.

The pipeline and the power plant it would serve are subsidiaries of Northern Virginia-based energy firm Balico LLC.

The State Corporation Commission has determined that Chickahominy Pipeline LLC is a public utility, which means SCC approval is necessary.

Greg Buppert, a senior attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center, said the legal process is far from exhausted and the SCC commissioners will make a ruling next on whether the pipeline is subject to SCC jurisdiction.
