Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Activities | Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Activities The Companies' accounting policies, objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments are discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. See Note 8 in this report for further information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives. Derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross on the Companies' Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dominion's derivative contracts include both over-the-counter transactions and those that are executed on an exchange or other trading platform (exchange contracts) and centrally cleared. Virginia Power's and Dominion Gas' derivative contracts consist of over-the-counter transactions. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a counterparty. Exchange contracts utilize a financial intermediary, exchange, or clearinghouse to enter, execute, or clear the transactions. Certain over-the-counter and exchange contracts contain contractual rights of setoff through master netting arrangements, derivative clearing agreements, and contract default provisions. In addition, the contracts are subject to conditional rights of setoff through counterparty nonperformance, insolvency, or other conditions. In general, most over-the-counter transactions and all exchange contracts are subject to collateral requirements. Types of collateral for over-the-counter and exchange contracts include cash, letters of credit, and in some cases other forms of security, none of which are subject to restrictions. Cash collateral is used in the table below to offset derivative assets and liabilities. Certain accounts receivable and accounts payable recognized on the Companies' Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as letters of credit and other forms of security, all of which are not included in the tables below, are subject to offset under master netting or similar arrangements and would reduce the net exposure. Dominion Balance Sheet Presentation The tables below present Dominion's derivative asset and liability balances by type of financial instrument, before and after the effects of offsetting:

Volumes The following table presents the volume of Dominion’s derivative activity at March 31, 2017. These volumes are based on open derivative positions and represent the combined absolute value of its long and short positions, except in the case of offsetting transactions, for which they represent the absolute value of the net volume of its long and short positions.

Ineffectiveness and AOCI For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, gains or losses on hedging instruments determined to be ineffective and amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness were not material. Amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness include gains or losses attributable to changes in the time value of options and changes in the differences between spot prices and forward prices. The following table presents selected information related to gains (losses) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI in Dominion’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2017:
| AOCI After-Tax | Amounts Expected to be Reclassified to Earnings During the Next 12 Months After-Tax | Maximum Term
(millions) |  |  |
Commodities: |  |  |
Gas | $ | 7 |  | $ | 7 |  | 33 months
Electricity | (4 | ) | (4 | ) | 9 months
Interest rate | (267 | ) | (6 | ) | 393 months
Foreign currency | 4 |  | (1 | ) | 111 months
Total | $ | (260 | ) | $ | (4 | ) |
The amounts that will be reclassified from AOCI to earnings will generally be offset by the recognition of the hedged transactions (e.g., interest payments) in earnings, thereby achieving the realization of prices contemplated by the underlying risk management strategies and will vary from the expected amounts presented above as a result of changes in market prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Fair Value and Gains and Losses on Derivative Instruments The following table presents the fair values of Dominion’s derivatives and where they are presented in its Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Ineffectiveness and AOCI For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, gains or losses on hedging instruments determined to be ineffective were not material. The following table presents selected information related to losses on cash flow hedges included in AOCI in Dominion Gas' Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2017:
| AOCI After-Tax | Amounts Expected to be Reclassified to Earnings During the Next 12 Months After-Tax | Maximum Term
(millions) |  |  |
Interest rate | $ | (26 | ) | $ | (3 | ) | 333 months
Foreign currency | 4 |  | (1 | ) | 111 months
Total | $ | (22 | ) | $ | (4 | ) |
The amounts that will be reclassified from AOCI to earnings will generally be offset by the recognition of the hedged transactions (e.g., interest payments) in earnings, thereby achieving the realization of prices contemplated by the underlying risk management strategies and will vary from the expected amounts presented above as a result of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
