[1] Dominion’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet at that date.
[2] The full amount of the facilities is available to Virginia Power, less any amounts outstanding to co-borrowers Dominion, Dominion Gas and Questar Gas. Sub-limits for Virginia Power are set within the facility limit but can be changed at the option of the Companies multiple times per year. At March 31, 2017, the aggregate sub-limit for Virginia Power was $2.0 billion. If Virginia Power has liquidity needs in excess of its sub-limit, the sub-limit may be changed or such needs may be satisfied through short-term intercompany borrowings from Dominion. These credit facilities mature in April 2020 and can be used to support bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper, as well as to support up to $2.0 billion (or the sub-limit, whichever is less) of letters of credit.

Sub-limits for Dominion Gas are set within the facility limit but can be changed at the option of the Companies multiple times per year. At March 31, 2017, the aggregate sub-limit for Dominion Gas was $500 million. If Dominion Gas has liquidity needs in excess of its sub-limit, the sub-limit may be changed or such needs may be satisfied through short-term intercompany borrowings from Dominion. These credit facilities mature in April 2020 and can be used to support bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper, as well as to support up to $1.5 billion (or the sub-limit, whichever is less) of letters of credit.
