[1] | Dominion Energy’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 Energy, Dominion Energy 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. In May 2017, the aggregate sub-limit for Virginia Power was decreased from $2.0 billion to $1.5 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 Energy. 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.
[3] | Virginia Power’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet at that date.
[4] | A maximum of a combined $1.5 billion of the facilities is available to Dominion Energy Gas, assuming adequate capacity is available after giving effect to uses by co-borrowers Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Questar Gas. Sub-limits for Dominion Energy Gas are set within the facility limit but can be changed at the option of the Companies multiple times per year. In May 2017, the aggregate sub-limit for Dominion Energy Gas was increased from $500 million to $750 million. If Dominion Energy 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 Energy. 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.
