The director of the D.C. Department of Transportation (web|news) says the city is looking at several "propulsion technologies" for its streetcar program. Emeka Moneme says overhead lines are the most desirable option.
Meanwhile, the city is moving forward with a four-stop streetcar line in Anacostia, which is outside the city's historic center and will feature overhead power lines. D.C. also is planning to lay streetcar tracks along H Street northeast, though much of that corridor falls within the city's historic section.
