PITTSBURGH — Allegheny Energy, bowing to intense community opposition, agreed to reroute a proposed multistate high-power line and move its end point.

The 500-kilovolt transmission line was to originate in Washington County, continue for 37 miles and then cross into West Virginia on its way to Loudoun County, Va.

The company agreed to move the end point to the southern end of Greene County, about one mile from the West Virginia border.
