[1] | Current regulatory liabilities are presented in other current liabilities in Dominion Energy’s and Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheets.
[2] | Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet at that date.
[3] | Under PIPP, eligible customers can make reduced payments based on their ability to pay. The difference between the customer's total bill and the PIPP plan amount is deferred and collected or returned annually under the PIPP rate adjustment clause according to East Ohio tariff provisions.
[4] | Charge associated with Virginia legislation enacted in March 2018 that requires one-time rate credits of certain amounts to utility customers. See Note 13 for more information.
[5] | Rates charged to customers by the Companies' regulated businesses include a provision for the cost of future activities to remove assets that are expected to be incurred at the time of retirement.
[6] | Primarily reflects a regulatory liability representing amounts collected from Virginia jurisdictional customers and placed in external trusts (including income, losses and changes in fair value thereon) for the future decommissioning of Virginia Power's utility nuclear generation stations, in excess of the related AROs.
[7] | Amounts recorded to pass the effect of reduced income taxes from the 2017 Tax Reform Act to customers in future periods, which will reverse at the weighted average tax rate that was used to build the reserves over the remaining book life of the property, net of amounts to be recovered through future rates to pay income taxes that become payable when rate revenue is provided to recover AFUDC-equity.
[8] | Balance refundable to customers related to the decrease in revenue requirements for recovery of income taxes at the Companies’ regulated electric generation and electric and natural gas distribution operations. See Note 13 for more information.
[9] | Virginia Power’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet at that date.
[10] | Reflects deferred fuel expenses for the Virginia and North Carolina jurisdictions of Dominion Energy's and Virginia Power's generation operations.
[11] | For jurisdictions subject to cost-based rate regulation, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments result in the recognition of regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities as they are expected to be recovered from or refunded to customers.
[12] | Noncurrent regulatory liabilities are presented in other deferred credits and other liabilities in Dominion Energy Gas' Consolidated Balance Sheets.
