Part I
Item 1. Business
General
Dominion Energy
, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and incorporated in Virginia in 1983, is one of the nation’s largest producers and transporters of energy. Dominion Energy’s strategy is to be a leading sustainable provider of electricity, natural gas and related services to customers primarily in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S. As of December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy’s portfolio of assets includes approximately 30,700 MW of electric generating capacity, 10,400 miles of electric transmission lines, 85,000 miles of electric distribution lines, 14,600 miles of natural gas transmission, gathering and storage pipelines and 103,400 miles of gas distribution pipeline, exclusive of service lines. As of December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy serves more than 7 million utility and retail energy customers and operates one of the nation’s largest underground natural gas storage systems, with approximately 1 trillion cubic feet of storage capacity.
In January 2019, Dominion Energy completed the SCANA Combination in a
stock-for-stock
merger valued at $13.4 billion. SCANA, which operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy, is primarily engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in the central, southern and southwestern portions of South Carolina and in the distribution of natural gas in North Carolina and South Carolina. DESC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCANA, is consolidated by Dominion Energy and remains an SEC registrant. However, its Form
10-K
is filed separately and is not combined herein.
Dominion Energy continues to focus on expanding and improving its regulated and long-term contracted electric and natural gas businesses while transitioning to a cleaner energy future. The $26 billion growth capital plan for 2019 through 2023 includes a focus on upgrading the electric system in Virginia through investments in additional renewable generation facilities, strategic undergrounding and energy conservation programs. Renewable generation facilities are expected to include investments in utility-scale solar and offshore wind projects. In addition, Dominion Energy is currently seeking, or intends to seek, license extensions for its regulated nuclear power stations in Virginia. Other drivers for the growth capital expenditure plan include agriculture-waste-to-energy initiatives, the replacement of gas distribution pipeline, the construction of infrastructure to handle the increase in natural gas production from the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations, including investing in Atlantic Coast Pipeline which is focused on constructing an approximately
600-mile
natural gas pipeline running from West Virginia through Virginia to North Carolina, to increase natural gas supplies in the region. Dominion Energy also plans to continue upgrading its gas and electric transmission and distribution networks while also meeting environmental requirements and standards set by various regulatory bodies.
Over the past decade, Dominion Energy has transitioned to a more regulated, less volatile earnings mix as evidenced by its capital investments in regulated infrastructure, including the SCANA Combination and Dominion Energy Questar Combination, and in infrastructure with output sold under long-term purchase agreements, as well as the divestiture of interests in certain merchant generating facilities and natural gas gathering and processing investments. Dominion Energy expects approximately 95% of
earnings from its primary operating segments to come from regulated and long-term contracted businesses. Dominion Energy’s nonregulated operations include merchant generation and natural gas retail energy marketing operations. Dominion Energy’s operations are conducted through various subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas.
Virginia Power
, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and incorporated in Virginia in 1909 as a Virginia public service corporation, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy and a regulated public utility that generates, transmits and distributes electricity for sale in Virginia and North Carolina. In Virginia, Virginia Power conducts business under the name “Dominion Energy Virginia” and primarily serves retail customers. In North Carolina, it conducts business under the name “Dominion Energy North Carolina” and serves retail customers located in the northeastern region of the state, excluding certain municipalities. In addition, Virginia Power sells and transmits electricity at wholesale prices to rural electric cooperatives, municipalities and into wholesale electricity markets. All of Virginia Power’s stock is owned by Dominion Energy.
Dominion Energy Gas,
a limited liability company formed in September 2013,
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy and a holding company. Following the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring, Dominion Energy Gas serves as the intermediate parent company for Dominion Energy’s FERC-regulated interstate natural gas transmission pipeline and underground storage systems in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S., as well as for the Cove Point LNG Facility. Dominion Energy Gas’ principal operating subsidiaries include DETI, DECG, Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline and a controlling 75% interest in Cove Point. In addition, Dominion Energy Gas holds a 50% noncontrolling partnership interest in Iroquois, a FERC-regulated interstate natural gas pipeline. All of Dominion Energy Gas’ membership interests are owned by Dominion Energy.
Amounts and information disclosed for Dominion Energy are inclusive of Virginia Power and/or Dominion Energy Gas, where applicable.
Employees
At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had approximately 19,100 full-time employees, of which approximately 5,400 are subject to collective bargaining agreements, including approximately 6,000 full-time employees at Virginia Power, of which approximately 2,500 are subject to collective bargaining agreements and approximately 1,400 full-time employees at Dominion Energy Gas, of which approximately 700 are subject to collective bargaining agreements.

Dominion Energy Virginia
The Dominion Energy Virginia Operating Segment is substantially composed of Virginia Power’s regulated electric transmission, distribution (including customer service) and generation (regulated electric utility and its related energy supply) operations, which serve approximately 2.6 million residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers in Virginia and North Carolina.
Virginia Power’s growth capital plan includes spending approximately $16 billion from 2019 through 2023 to upgrade or add new transmission lines, distribution lines, substations, and other facilities, as well as maintain existing and construct new generation capacity to meet growing electricity demand within its service territory in order to maintain reliability and regulatory compliance. The proposed infrastructure projects and investment commitments are intended to address both continued customer growth and increases in electricity consumption which are primarily driven by new and larger data center customers, as well as support its Subsequent License Renewal projects as it is seeking
20-year
license extensions for the regulated nuclear fleet in Virginia. See Properties and Environmental Strategy for additional information on this and other utility projects.
Virginia Power has also created a
ten-year
plan to transform its electric grid into a smarter, stronger and greener grid. This plan will address the structural limitations of Virginia Power’s distribution grid in a systematic manner in order to recognize and

11

accommodate fundamental changes and requirements in the energy industry. The objective is to address both customer and system needs by (i) achieving even higher levels of reliability and resiliency against natural and
man-made
threats, (ii) leveraging technology to enhance the customer experience and improve the operation of the system and (iii) safely and effectively integrating new utility-scale renewable generation and storage as well as customer–level distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar and battery storage. In 2019, the Virginia Commission approved a portion of this plan.
Revenue provided by electric distribution and generation operations is based primarily on rates established by the Virginia and North Carolina Commissions. Approximately 84% of revenue comes from serving Virginia jurisdictional customers. Base rates for the Virginia jurisdiction are set using a modified
cost-of-service
rate model, and are generally designed to allow an opportunity to recover the cost of providing utility service and earn a reasonable return on investments used to provide that service. Variability in earnings is driven primarily by changes in rates, weather, customer growth and other factors impacting consumption such as the economy and energy conservation, in addition to operating and maintenance expenditures. Electric operations continue to focus on improving service and experience levels while striving to reduce costs and link investments to operational results. SAIDI performance results, excluding major events, were 138 minutes for the three-year average ending 2019, up from the previous three-year average of 134 minutes. This increase is primarily due to increased storm activity.
Earnings may reflect variations in the timing or nature of expenses as compared to those contemplated in current rates, such as labor and benefit costs, capacity expenses, the timing, duration and costs of scheduled and unscheduled outages as well as the customer’s ability to choose a generation service provider. The cost of fuel and purchased power is generally collected through fuel cost-recovery mechanisms established by regulators and does not materially impact net income. The cost of new generation facilities is generally recovered through rate adjustment clauses in Virginia. Variability in earnings from rate adjustment clauses reflects changes in the authorized ROE and the carrying amount of these facilities, which are largely driven by the timing and amount of capital investments, as well as depreciation. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Revenue provided by Virginia Power’s electric transmission operations is based primarily on rates approved by FERC. The profitability of this business is dependent on its ability, through the rates it is permitted to charge, to recover costs and earn a reasonable ROIC. Variability in earnings primarily results from changes in rates and the timing of property additions, retirements and depreciation.
Virginia Power is a member of PJM, an RTO, and its electric transmission facilities are integrated into PJM wholesale electricity markets. Consistent with the increased authority given to NERC by EPACT, Virginia Power’s electric transmission operations are committed to meeting NERC standards, modernizing its infrastructure and maintaining superior system reliability.
Competition
There is no competition for electric distribution service within Virginia Power’s service territory in Virginia and North Carolina
and no such competition is currently permitted. Historically, since its electric transmission facilities are integrated into PJM and electric transmission services are administered by PJM, there was no competition in relation to transmission service provided to customers within the PJM region. However, competition from
non-incumbent
PJM transmission owners for development, construction and ownership of certain transmission facilities in Virginia Power’s service territory is permitted pursuant to Order 1000, subject to state and local siting and permitting approvals. This could result in additional competition to build and own transmission infrastructure in Virginia Power’s service area in the future and could allow Dominion Energy to seek opportunities to build and own facilities in other service territories. Additionally, there is some competition for Virginia Power’s generation operations for Virginia jurisdictional electric utility customers that meet certain size requirements or that seek to purchase 100% renewable energy from competitive suppliers. See
Electric
under
State Regulations
in
Regulation
for more information. Currently, North Carolina does not offer retail choice to electric customers.
Virginia Power’s
non-jurisdictional
operations are not currently subject to significant competition as the output from these facilities is primarily sold under long-term power purchase agreements with terms generally ranging from 16 to 25 years. However, in the future, such operations may compete with other power generation facilities to serve certain large-scale customers after the power purchase agreements expire.
Regulation
Virginia Power’s electric distribution and generation operations, including the rates it may charge to jurisdictional customers, as well as wholesale electric transmission rates, tariffs and terms of service, are subject to regulation by the Virginia and North Carolina Commissions as well as FERC, the NRC, the EPA, the DOE and the Army Corps of Engineers. See
State Regulations
and
Federal Regulations
in
Regulation, Future Issues and Other Matters
in Item 7 MD&A and Notes 13 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Virginia Power is investing in transmission substation physical security and expects to invest an additional $125 million to $175 million through 2024 to strengthen its electrical system to better protect critical equipment, enhance its spare equipment process and create multiple levels of security.
Virginia legislation provides for the recovery of costs, subject to approval by the Virginia Commission, for Virginia Power to move approximately 4,000 miles of electric distribution lines underground. The program is designed to reduce restoration outage time by moving Virginia Power’s most outage-prone overhead distribution lines underground, has an annual investment cap of approximately $175 million and is expected to be completed by 2028. The Virginia Commission has approved four phases of the program encompassing approximately 1,350 miles of converted lines and $545 million in capital spending (with $523 million recoverable through Rider U).
Virginia Power is developing, financing and constructing new generation capacity to meet growing electricity demand within its service territory. Significant projects under construction or development are set forth below:

• | Virginia Power plans to acquire or construct certain solar facilities in Virginia and North Carolina. See Notes 10 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

• | Virginia Power continues to consider the construction of a third nuclear unit at a site located at North Anna. See Future Issues and Other Matters in Item 7 for more information on this project.

• | Virginia Power is considering the construction of an approximately $2 billion hydroelectric pumped storage facility in Southwest Virginia.

• | Virginia Power has announced an approximately $400 million project to replace approximately 1,500 diesel buses with electric buses at school districts in Virginia by 2025.

• | In November 2018, Virginia Power received approval from the Virginia Commission for its petition seeking a prudency determination as provided in the GTSA with respect to the proposed Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Pilot project, consisting of two 6 MW wind turbine generators located approximately 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia in federal waters, and for a CPCN, for the generation tie line connecting the generators to shore. This project is expected to cost approximately $300 million and to be placed into service by the end of 2020.

• | In September 2019, Virginia Power filed an application with PJM for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Commercial project to interconnect 2,640 MW of wind energy between 2024 and 2026 off the coast of Virginia as an expansion of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Pilot project, expected to increase the total cost of the project by up to approximately $8 billion.

• | Virginia Power is considering the construction of simple cycle combustion turbines in Virginia. These projects are expected to be placed in service beginning 2023.

See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

(3) | Includes solar and biomass.

Nuclear Fuel
—Virginia Power primarily utilizes long-term contracts to support its nuclear fuel requirements. Worldwide market conditions are continuously evaluated to ensure a range of supply options at reasonable prices which are dependent on the market environment. Current agreements, inventories and spot market availability are expected to support current and planned fuel supply needs. Additional fuel is purchased as required to ensure optimal cost and inventory levels.
Fossil Fuel
—Virginia Power primarily utilizes natural gas and coal in its fossil fuel plants. All recent fossil fuel plant construction involves natural gas generation.
Virginia Power’s natural gas and oil supply is obtained from various sources including purchases from major and independent producers in the
Mid-Continent
and Gulf Coast regions, purchases from local producers in the Appalachian area and Marcellus and Utica regions, purchases from gas marketers and withdrawals from underground storage fields owned by Dominion Energy or third parties. Virginia Power manages a portfolio of natural gas transportation contracts (capacity) that provides for reliable natural gas deliveries to its gas turbine fleet, while minimizing costs.
Virginia Power’s coal supply is obtained through long-term contracts and short-term spot agreements from domestic suppliers.
Biomass—
Virginia Power’s biomass supply is obtained through long-term contracts and short-term spot agreements from local suppliers.
Purchased Power
—Virginia Power purchases electricity from the PJM spot market and through power purchase agreements with other suppliers to provide for utility system load requirements.
Seasonality
Virginia Power’s earnings vary seasonally as a result of the impact of changes in temperature, the impact of storms and other catastrophic weather events, and the availability of alternative sources for heating on demand by residential and commercial customers. Generally, the demand for electricity peaks during the summer and winter months to meet cooling and heating needs, respectively. An increase in heating degree days for Virginia Power’s electric utility-related operations does not produce the same increase in revenue as an increase in cooling degree days, due to seasonal pricing differentials and because alternative heating sources are more readily available.
Nuclear Decommissioning
Virginia Power has a total of four licensed, operating nuclear reactors at Surry and North Anna in Virginia.

13

Decommissioning involves the decontamination and removal of radioactive contaminants from a nuclear power station once operations have ceased, in accordance with standards established by the NRC. Amounts collected from ratepayers are placed into trusts and are invested to fund the expected future costs of decommissioning the Surry and North Anna units.
Virginia Power believes that the decommissioning funds and their expected earnings for the Surry and North Anna units will be sufficient to cover expected decommissioning costs, particularly when combined with future ratepayer collections and contributions to these decommissioning trusts, if such future collections and contributions are required. This reflects the long-term investment horizon, since the units will not be decommissioned for decades, and a positive long-term outlook for trust fund investment returns. Virginia Power will continue to monitor these trusts to ensure they meet the NRC minimum financial assurance requirements, which may include, if needed, the use of parent company guarantees, surety bonding or other financial instruments recognized by the NRC.
The estimated cost to decommission Virginia Power’s four nuclear units is reflected in the table below and is primarily based upon site-specific studies completed in 2019. These cost studies are generally completed every four to five years. The current cost estimates assume decommissioning activities will begin shortly after cessation of operations, which will occur when the operating licenses expire.
Under the current operating licenses, Virginia Power is scheduled to decommission the Surry and North Anna units during the period 2032 to 2078. NRC regulations allow licensees to apply for extension of an operating license in up to
20-year
increments. In 2019, Virginia Power applied for renewal of its operating licenses for an additional 20 years for the two nuclear units at Surry. Under these renewal applications, the two nuclear units will be allowed to generate electricity through 2052 and 2053, if approved. Virginia Power expects to submit a license extension application for the two units at North Anna in 2020. Between the four units, Virginia Power estimates that it could spend approximately $3 billion to $4 billion over the next several years on the relicensing process. The existing regulatory framework in Virginia provides rate recovery mechanisms for such costs. The most recent site-specific study completed for Surry and North Anna was performed in 2019.
The estimated decommissioning costs, funds in trust and current license expiration dates for Surry and North Anna are shown in the following table:

|  | NRC license expiration year |  |  | Most recent cost estimate (2019 dollars) (1) |  |  | Funds in trusts at December 31, 2019 |  |  | 2019 contributions to trusts |
(dollars in millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Surry |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Unit 1 |  |  | 2032 |  |  |  | $ 803 |  |  |  | $ 815 |  |  |  | $ — |
Unit 2 |  |  | 2033 |  |  |  | 794 |  |  |  | 803 |  |  |  | — |
North Anna |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Unit 1 (2) |  |  | 2038 |  |  |  | 720 |  |  |  | 651 |  |  |  | — |
Unit 2 (2) |  |  | 2040 |  |  |  | 724 |  |  |  | 612 |  |  |  | — |
Total |  |  |  |  |  |  | $3,041 |  |  |  | $2,881 |  |  |  | $— |

(1) | The cost estimates shown above reflect reductions for the expected future recovery of certain spent fuel costs based on Virginia Power’s contracts with the DOE for disposal of spent nuclear fuel consistent with the reductions reflected in Virginia Power’s nuclear decommissioning AROs and includes the expectation that 20-year license extensions are approved for all units.

(2) | North Anna is jointly owned by Virginia Power (88.4%) and ODEC (11.6%). However, Virginia Power is responsible for 89.26% of the decommissioning obligation. Amounts reflect 89.26% of the decommissioning cost for both of North Anna’s units.

Also see Notes 9, 14 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about nuclear decommissioning trust investments, AROs and nuclear decommissioning, respectively.
Gas Transmission & Storage
The Gas Transmission & Storage Operating Segment of Dominion Energy Gas includes FERC regulated interstate natural gas transmission pipeline and underground storage systems in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S. (primarily through DETI, DECG and Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline), LNG import/export and storage (through its 75% controlling interest in Cove Point) as well as a 50% noncontrolling partnership interest in Iroquois. See
Investments
below for additional information regarding the Iroquois investment.
The Gas Transmission & Storage Operating Segment of Dominion Energy also includes nonregulated retail natural gas marketing, development of renewable natural gas and LNG infrastructure and its investments in Atlantic Coast Pipeline, Align RNG and Wrangler. See
Investments
below for additional information regarding the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, Align RNG and Wrangler investments.
Gas Transmission & Storage’s growth capital plan includes spending approximately $4 billion from 2019 through 2023 to upgrade existing or add new infrastructure to meet growing energy needs within its service territory and maintain reliability. Demand for natural gas is expected to continue to grow as initiatives to transition to gas from more carbon-intensive fuels are implemented. This plan includes Dominion Energy’s portion of spending for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project.
Earnings for the
Gas Transmission & Storage Operating Segment of Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas
primarily result from rates established by FERC. Approximately 94% of Dominion Energy Gas’ transmission capacity is subscribed including 91% under long-term contracts (two years or greater) and 3% on a
year-to-year
basis. Dominion Energy Gas’ storage services are 100% subscribed with long-term contracts. Revenues derived from Dominion Energy Gas’ pipeline operations are primarily from reservation charges for firm transportation and storage services as provided for in their FERC-approved tariffs. The profitability of these businesses is dependent on their ability, through the rates they are permitted to charge, to recover costs and earn a reasonable return on their capital investments.
Additionally, Dominion Energy Gas receives revenue from firm
fee-based
contractual arrangements, including negotiated rates, for certain LNG storage and terminalling services. The Liquefaction Facility has a firm contracted capacity for LNG loading onto ships of approximately 4.6 Mtpa (0.66 bcfe/day)

14 |  |  |  |  |  |

under normal operating conditions and after accounting for maintenance downtime. Variability in earnings results from changes in operating and maintenance expenditures, as well as changes in rates and the demand for services, which are dependent on weather, changes in commodity prices and the economy.
Dominion Energy’s retail energy marketing operations compete in nonregulated energy markets. Dominion Energy has a large concentration of natural gas customers in markets where utilities have a long-standing commitment to customer choice.
Competition
Gas Transmission & Storage Operating Segment—Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas
Dominion Energy Gas’ natural gas transmission operations compete with domestic and Canadian pipeline companies. Dominion Energy Gas also competes with gas marketers seeking to provide or arrange transportation, storage and other services. Alternative fuel sources, such as oil or coal, provide another level of competition. Although competition is based primarily on price, the array of services that can be provided to customers is also an important factor. The combination of capacity rights held on certain long-line pipelines, a large storage capability and the availability of numerous receipt and delivery points along its own pipeline system enable Dominion Energy Gas to tailor its services to meet the needs of individual customers.
Dominion Energy Gas’ pipeline systems generate a substantial portion of their revenue from long-term firm contracts for transportation services and are therefore insulated from competitive factors during the terms of the contracts. When these long-term contracts expire, Dominion Energy Gas’ pipeline system will face competitive pressures from similar facilities that serve the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions in terms of location, rates, terms of service, and flexibility and reliability of service.
Cove Point’s gas transportation, LNG import and storage operations, as well as the Liquefaction Facility’s capacity, are contracted primarily under long-term fixed reservation fee agreements. However, in the future Cove Point may compete with other independent terminal operators as well as major oil and gas companies on the basis of terminal location, services provided and price. Competition from terminal operators primarily comes from refiners and distribution companies with marketing and trading arms. In addition, the Liquefaction Facility may face competition on a global scale as international customers explore other options to meet their energy needs.
Gas Transmission & Storage Operating Segment—Dominion Energy
Dominion Energy’s retail energy marketing operations compete against incumbent utilities and other energy marketers in nonregulated energy markets for natural gas, and provides service to approximately 380,000 customer accounts in five states.

following significant projects are under construction or development to better serve customers or expand its service offerings.
Gas Transmission & Storage Operating Segment—Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas
In August 2018, DETI executed a binding precedent agreement with a customer for the West Loop project. The project is expected to cost approximately $95 million and provide 150,000 Dths per day of firm transportation service from Pennsylvania to Ohio for delivery to a proposed combined-cycle, natural
gas-fired
electric power generation facility to be located in Columbiana County, Ohio. In December 2018, DETI filed an application to request FERC authorization to construct, operate and maintain the project facilities, which are expected to be in service by the end of 2021.
In December 2014, DETI entered into a precedent agreement with Atlantic Coast Pipeline for the Supply Header project, a project to provide approximately 1,500,000 Dths per day of firm transportation service to various customers. Atlantic Coast Pipeline has continued to experience delays in obtaining permits necessary for construction and delays in construction due to judicial actions. As a result, project cost estimates are $725 million to $775 million, excluding financing costs. Project construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2021 with
in-service
in early 2022.
Gas Transmission & Storage Operating Segment—Dominion Energy
In November 2019, Dominion Energy entered into an arrangement with Vanguard Renewables to convert methane from U.S. dairy farms into clean, renewable natural gas that can heat homes, power businesses and fuel vehicles. Under this arrangement, Dominion Energy will own the projects and market the renewable natural gas, and Vanguard Renewables will design, develop and operate the projects. Dominion Energy plans to invest $200 million into this project through 2024.

Atlantic Coast Pipeline
—In September 2014, Dominion Energy, along with Duke and Southern, announced the formation of Atlantic Coast Pipeline. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline partnership agreement includes provisions to allow Dominion Energy an option to purchase additional ownership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline to maintain a leading ownership percentage. The members hold the following membership interests: Dominion Energy, 48%; Duke, 47%; and Southern, 5%. In February 2020, Dominion Energy entered an agreement to acquire Southern’s 5% membership interest. Atlantic Coast Pipeline is focused on constructing an approximately
600-mile
natural gas pipeline running from West Virginia through Virginia to North Carolina. Atlantic Coast Pipeline has executed agreements with customers for a substantial majority of the capacity of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project. See Future Issues and Other Matters in Item 7 for information on estimated project costs and
in-service
date and Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about Dominion Energy’s equity method investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline.
Align RNG
—In November 2018, Dominion Energy announced the formation of Align RNG, an equal partnership with Smithfield Foods, Inc. As announced in October 2019, Align RNG expects to invest $500 million to develop assets to capture methane from hog farms across Virginia, North Carolina, Utah, Arizona and California and convert it into pipeline quality natural gas.
Wrangler
—In September 2019, Dominion Energy, announced the formation of Wrangler, a nonregulated natural gas retail energy marketing business serving Georgia and other southeastern states in the U.S. Wrangler was created in partnership with Interstate Gas Supply, Inc., with Dominion Energy contributing its nonregulated retail energy marketing operations and Interstate Gas Supply, Inc. contributing cash. Dominion Energy has a 20% noncontrolling ownership interest in Wrangler. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about Dominion Energy’s equity method investment in Wrangler.
Sources of Energy Supply
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ large underground natural gas storage network and the location of their pipeline systems are a significant link between the country’s major interstate gas pipelines and large markets in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ pipelines are part of an interconnected gas transmission system, which provides access to supplies nationwide for local distribution companies, marketers, power generators and industrial and commercial customers.
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ underground storage facilities play an important part in balancing gas supply with consumer demand and are essential to serving the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions. In addition, storage capacity is an important element in the effective management of both gas supply and pipeline transmission capacity.
The supply of gas to serve Dominion Energy’s retail energy marketing customers is procured through Dominion Energy’s energy marketing group and market wholesalers.
Seasonality
Due to the nature of Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ gas transmission and storage operations, seasonal fluctuations do not have a material impact on earnings.
The earnings of Dominion Energy’s retail energy marketing operations, however vary seasonally as a result of the impact of changes in temperature. Generally, the demand for gas peaks during the winter months to meet heating needs.
Gas Distribution
The Gas Distribution Operating Segment of Dominion Energy
includes Dominion Energy’s regulated natural gas sales, transportation, gathering and distribution operations in Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, Utah, southwestern Wyoming and southeastern Idaho (through East Ohio, Hope, PSNC and Questar Gas) which collectively serve approximately 3.0 million residential, commercial and industrial customers.
Gas Distribution’s growth capital plan includes spending approximately $4 billion from 2019 through 2023 to upgrade existing or add new infrastructure to meet growing energy needs within its service territory and maintain reliability. Planned capital spending is driven by infrastructure needs from a growing customer base in states with expanding economies, replacing aging assets for reliability and safety and meeting demands for natural gas to support the transition from more carbon intensive fuels.
Earnings for the Gas Distribution Operating Segment of Dominion Energy
primarily result from rates established by the Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho Commissions. The profitability of these businesses is dependent on their ability, through the rates they are permitted to charge, to recover costs and earn a reasonable return on their capital investments. Variability in earnings primarily results from changes in operating and maintenance expenditures, as well as changes in rates and the economy.
Competition
Questar Gas and Hope do not currently face direct competition from other distributors of natural gas for residential and commercial customers in their service territories as state regulations in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho for Questar Gas, and West Virginia for Hope, do not allow customers to choose their provider at this time. See
State Regulations
in
Regulation
for additional information.
In Ohio, there has been no legislation enacted to require supplier choice for natural gas distribution consumers. However, East Ohio has offered an Energy Choice program to residential and commercial customers since October 2000. East Ohio has since taken various steps approved by the Ohio Commission toward exiting the merchant function, including restructuring its

16 |  |  |  |  |  |

commodity service and placing Energy Choice-eligible customers in a direct retail relationship with participating suppliers. Further, in April 2013, East Ohio fully exited the merchant function for its nonresidential customers, which are now required to choose a retail supplier or be assigned to one at a monthly variable rate set by the supplier. At December 31, 2019, approximately 1.1 million of East Ohio’s 1.2 million Ohio customers were participating in the Energy Choice program.
Competition in PSNC’s natural gas distribution operations is generally based on price and convenience. Large commercial and industrial customers often have the ability to switch from natural gas to an alternate fuel, such as propane or fuel oil. Natural gas competes with these alternate fuels based on price. As a result, any significant disparity between supply and demand, either of natural gas or of alternate fuels, and due either to production or delivery disruptions or other factors, will affect price and the ability to retain large commercial and industrial customers.
In all of Dominion Energy’s gas service territories, electric utilities offer electricity as a rival energy source and compete for the space heating, water heating and cooking markets. The principal means to compete against alternative fuels is lower prices, and natural gas historically has maintained its price advantage in the residential and commercial markets. Competition for heating as well as general household and small commercial energy needs generally occurs at the initial installation phase when the customer or builder makes the decision as to which types of equipment to install, as a result customers tend to use their chosen energy source for the life of the equipment.
Regulation
Gas Distribution’s operations, including the rates that it may charge customers, are regulated by the Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho Commissions as well as PHMSA and the U.S. Department of Transportation. See
State Regulations
in
Regulation
for more information.

Dominion Energy has the following significant projects under construction or development to better serve customers or expand its service offerings within its service territory.
East Ohio
—In 2008, East Ohio began PIR, aimed at replacing approximately 25% of its pipeline system. In September 2016, the Ohio Commission approved a stipulation filed jointly by East Ohio and the Staff of the Ohio Commission to continue the PIR program and associated cost recovery for another five-year term beginning in 2017, and to permit East Ohio to increase its annual capital expenditures to $200 million by 2018 with a 3% increase per year thereafter subject to the annual cost recovery rate increase caps proposed by East Ohio. See Note 13 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Questar Gas
—In 2010, Questar Gas began replacing aging high pressure infrastructure under a cost-tracking mechanism that allows it to place into rate base and earn a return on capital expenditures associated with a multi-year natural gas infrastructure-replacement program upon the completion of each project. At that time, the commission-allowed annual spending in the replacement program was approximately $55 million.
In its 2014 Utah general rate case, Questar Gas received approval to include intermediate high pressure infrastructure in the replacement program and increase the annual spending limit to approximately $65 million, adjusted annually using a gross domestic product inflation factor. At that time, 420 miles of high pressure pipe and 70 miles of intermediate high pressure pipe were identified to be replaced in the program over a
17-year
period. Questar Gas has spent an average of $68 million each year through 2019 under this program. The program is evaluated in each Utah general rate case. In February 2020, the Utah Commission approved the 2020 annual spending limit for the infrastructure replacement program to be $72 million, adjusted annually thereafter using a gross domestic product inflation factor.
In April 2019, Questar Gas filed a request with the Utah Commission for
pre-approval
to construct an LNG storage facility with a liquefaction rate of 8.2 million cubic feet per day. In October 2019, the Utah Commission granted
pre-approval
to construct the LNG storage facility.
In 2018, legislation became effective in Utah which is designed to spur economic growth in rural communities without natural gas service. The legislation allows Questar Gas to spend up to $50 million over three years, and up to $125 million over five years, for expansion of distribution facilities to bring natural gas to residential and commercial customers in rural parts of Utah, subject to Utah Commission approval. See Note 13 to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
PSNC
—The North Carolina Commission has authorized PSNC to use a tracker mechanism to recover the incurred capital investment and associated costs of complying with federal standards for pipeline integrity and safety requirements that are not in current base rates. Projected integrity management plant investment for the period 2020 to 2022 for which recovery is expected is approximately $95 million.
In 2018, PSNC began constructing a high-pressure distribution pipeline that will span 35 miles and will provide enhanced safety to the corresponding service area. The project is expected to cost approximately $80 million, excluding financing costs, and is anticipated to be placed into service by mid-2020. This project is expected to be recovered through the pipeline integrity tracker mechanism described above.
During 2019, PSNC began the construction of approximately 38 miles of transmission pipeline between Franklinton, North Carolina and Clayton, North Carolina, which will provide the capacity necessary to support the growing natural gas demand in PSNC’s service territory. The project is expected to cost approximately $165 million, excluding financing costs, and is anticipated to be placed into service in 2021.
Sources of Energy Supply
Dominion Energy’s natural gas supply is obtained from various sources including purchases from major and independent producers in the
Mid-Continent
and Gulf Coast regions, local producers in the Appalachian area, gas marketers and, for Questar Gas specifically, from Wexpro and other producers in the Rocky Mountain region. Wexpro’s gas development and production operations serve over half of Questar Gas’ gas supply requirements in accordance with the Wexpro Agreement and the Wexpro II Agreement, comprehensive agreements with the states of Utah and Wyoming.

17

Seasonality
Gas Distribution’s business earnings vary seasonally, as a result of the impact of changes in temperature on demand by residential and commercial customers for gas to meet heating needs. Historically, the majority of these earnings have been generated during the heating season, which is generally from November to March; however, implementation of rate mechanisms for transportation services for East Ohio, and gas sales for Questar Gas and PSNC have reduced the earnings impact of weather-related fluctuations.
Dominion Energy South Carolina
The Dominion Energy South Carolina Operating Segment is comprised of DESC’s generation, transmission and distribution of electricity to approximately 740,000 customers in the central, southern and southwestern portions of South Carolina and the distribution of natural gas to approximately 390,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in South Carolina.
DESC’s growth capital plan includes spending approximately $2 billion from 2019 through 2023 to upgrade existing or add new infrastructure to meet growing energy needs within its service territory and maintain reliability.
Revenue provided by DESC’s electric distribution operations is based primarily on rates established by the South Carolina Commission. Variability in earnings is driven primarily by changes in rates, weather, customer growth and other factors impacting consumption such as the economy and energy conservation, in addition to operating and maintenance expenditures.
DESC’s electric transmission operations serve its electric distribution operations as well as certain wholesale customers. Revenue provided by such electric transmission operations is based on a FERC-approved formula rate mechanism under DESC’s open access transmission tariff or based on retail rates established by the South Carolina Commission.
Revenue provided by DESC’s electric generation operations is primarily derived from the sale of electricity generated by its utility generation assets and is based on rates established by the South Carolina Commission. Variability in earnings may arise when revenues are impacted by factors not reflected in current rates, such as the impact of weather, customer demand or the timing and nature of expenses or outages.
Revenue provided by DESC’s natural gas distribution operations primarily results from rates established by the South Carolina Commission. Variability in earnings results from changes in operating and maintenance expenditures, as well as changes in rates and the demand for services, the availability and prices of alternative fuels and the economy.
DESC is a member of the Virginia-Carolinas Reliability Group, one of several geographic divisions within the SERC. The SERC is one of seven regional entities with delegated authority from NERC for the purpose of proposing and enforcing reliability standards approved by NERC.
Competition
There is no competition for electric distribution or generation service within DESC’s retail electric service territory in South Carolina and no such competition is currently permitted. However, competition from third-party owners for development, construction and ownership of certain transmission facilities in DESC’s service territory is permitted pursuant to Order 1000,
subject to state and local siting and permitting approvals. This could result in additional competition to build and own transmission infrastructure in DESC’s service area in the future.
Competition in DESC’s natural gas distribution operations is generally based on price and convenience. Large commercial and industrial customers often have the ability to switch from natural gas to an alternate fuel, such as propane or fuel oil. Natural gas competes with these alternate fuels based on price. As a result, any significant disparity between supply and demand, either of natural gas or of alternate fuels, and due either to production or delivery disruptions or other factors, will affect price and the ability to retain large commercial and industrial customers.
Regulation
DESC’s electric distribution service, including the rates it may charge to jurisdictional customers, is subject to regulation by the South Carolina Commission. DESC’s electric generation operations are subject to regulation by the South Carolina Commission, FERC, the NRC, the EPA, the DOE and various other federal, state and local authorities. DESC’s electric transmission service is primarily regulated by FERC and the DOE. DESC’s gas distribution operations are subject to regulation by the South Carolina Commission, as well as PHMSA, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff for enforcement of federal and state pipeline safety requirements.

DESC has the following significant projects under construction or development to better serve customers or expand its service offerings within its service territory:
In 2019, DESC began an initiative to upgrade its electric and gas systems to an AMI whereby over a million smart meters will be installed throughout its service area. This project is estimated to cost approximately $140 million and will be completed by 2023.
Sources of Energy Supply
DESC uses a variety of fuels to power its electric generation fleet and purchases power for utility system load requirements. Presented below is a summary of DESC’s actual system output by energy source:

Source |  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 (1) |
Natural gas |  |  | 46 | % |  |  | 37 | %
Coal |  |  | 27 |  |  |  | 35 |
Nuclear (2) |  |  | 23 |  |  |  | 20 |
Renewable/hydro (3) |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 8 |
Total |  |  | 100 | % |  |  | 100 | %

(1) | Dominion Energy did not acquire DESC until January 2019. These amounts represent data obtained as part of the due diligence performed by Dominion Energy prior to the SCANA Combination.

(2) | Excludes Santee Cooper’s 33.3% undivided ownership interest in Summer.

(3) | Includes solar.

Natural gas
—DESC purchases natural gas under contracts with producers and marketers on both a short-term and long-term basis at market-based prices. The gas is delivered to

18 |  |  |  |  |  |

South Carolina through firm transportation agreements with various counterparties, which expire between 2021 and 2084.
Coal
—DESC primarily obtains coal through short-term and long-term contracts with suppliers located in eastern Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. These contracts provide for approximately 2.1 million tons annually. These contracts expire at various times through 2020. Spot market purchases may occur when needed or when prices are believed to be favorable.
Nuclear
—DESC primarily utilizes long-term contracts to support its nuclear fuel requirements. DESC, for itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, and Westinghouse are parties to a fuel alliance agreement and contracts for fuel fabrication and related services. Under these contracts, DESC supplies enriched products to Westinghouse, who in turn supplies nuclear fuel assemblies for Summer. Westinghouse is DESC’s exclusive provider of such fuel assemblies on a cost-plus basis. The fuel assemblies to be delivered under the contracts are expected to supply the nuclear fuel requirements through 2033.
In addition, DESC has contracts covering its nuclear fuel needs for uranium, conversion services and enrichment services. These contracts have varying expiration dates through 2024. DESC believes that it will be able to renew these contracts as they expire or enter into similar contractual arrangements with other suppliers of nuclear fuel materials and services and that sufficient capacity for nuclear fuel supplies and processing exists to allow for normal operations of its nuclear generating unit. Current agreements, inventories and spot market availability are expected to support current and planned fuel supply needs. Additional fuel is purchased as required to ensure optimal fuel and inventory levels.
Seasonality
DESC’s electric distribution and transmission business earnings vary seasonally, as a result of the impact of changes in temperature, the impact of storms and other catastrophic weather events and the availability of alternative sources for heating on demand by residential and commercial customers. Generally, the demand for electricity peaks during the summer and winter months to meet cooling and heating needs, respectively. An increase in heating degree days does not produce the same increase in revenue as an increase in cooling degree days, due to seasonal pricing differentials and because alternative heating sources are more readily available.
DESC’s gas distribution and storage business earnings vary seasonally as a result of the impact of changes in temperature on demand by residential and commercial customers for gas to meet heating needs. The majority of these earnings are generated during the heating season, which is generally from November to March; however, South Carolina has certain rate mechanisms designed to reduce the impact of weather-related fluctuations.
Nuclear Decommissioning
DESC has a
two-thirds
interest in one licensed, operating nuclear reactor at Summer in South Carolina.
Decommissioning involves the decontamination and removal of radioactive contaminants from a nuclear power station once operations have ceased, in accordance with standards established by the NRC. Amounts collected from ratepayers are placed into trusts and are invested to fund the expected future costs of decommissioning Summer.
DESC believes that the decommissioning funds and their expected earnings will be sufficient to cover expected decommissioning costs, particularly when combined with future ratepayer collections and contributions to this trust. DESC will continue to monitor this trust to ensure that it meets the NRC minimum financial assurance requirements, which may include, if needed, the use of Dominion Energy guarantees, surety bonding or other financial instruments recognized by the NRC.
The estimated cost to DESC to decommission its 66.7% ownership in Summer is $646 million (stated in 2019 dollars), which is primarily based upon site-specific studies completed in 2016. These cost studies are generally completed every four to five years. Santee Cooper is responsible for the remaining decommissioning costs, proportionate with its 33.3% ownership in Summer. The cost estimates assume decommissioning activities will begin shortly after cessation of operations, which will occur when the operating license expires. The cost estimate reflects reductions for the expected future recovery of certain spent nuclear fuel costs based on DESC’s contracts with the DOE for disposal of spent nuclear fuel consistent with the reductions reflected in DESC’s nuclear decommissioning ARO. At December 31, 2019, DESC had $214 million in a trust for its proportionate share of these decommissioning activities.
The current operating license for Summer expires in 2042. NRC regulations allow licensees to apply for extension of an operating license in up to
20-year
increments. DESC is considering an operating license renewal for Summer.
Contracted Generation
The Contracted Generation Operating Segment includes the operations of Millstone, and associated energy marketing and price risk activities, and Dominion Energy’s long-term contracted renewable electric generation fleet as well as a 50% noncontrolling partnership interest in Fowler Ridge.
Contracted Generation’s growth capital plan includes spending less than $1 billion from 2019 through 2023 to expand its renewable generation fleet.
The Contracted
Generation Operating Segment derives its earnings primarily from Dominion Energy’s merchant generation assets, as well as from associated capacity and ancillary services. Variability in earnings provided by Millstone relates to changes in market-based prices received for electricity and capacity as well as the timing, duration and costs of scheduled and unscheduled outages. Approximately half of Millstone’s output is sold under the Millstone 2019 power purchase agreements, which commenced in October 2019 following approval by PURA in 2019. Market-based prices for electricity are largely dependent on commodity prices and the demand for electricity. Capacity prices are dependent upon resource requirements in relation to the supply available (both existing and new) in the forward capacity auctions, which are held approximately three years in advance of the associated delivery year. Dominion Energy manages the electric price volatility of Millstone by hedging a substantial portion of its expected near-term energy sales not subject to the Millstone 2019 power purchase agreements with derivative instruments.

19

Dominion Energy’s merchant generation fleet includes numerous renewable generation facilities, including solar generation and wind facilities in operation or development in nine states, including Virginia. The output of these facilities is primarily sold under long-term power purchase agreements with terms generally ranging from 15 to 25 years. Variability in earnings provided by these assets relates to changes in irradiance levels and wind speeds due to changes in weather. See Notes 3 and 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding certain solar projects.
Competition
Contracted Generation’s renewable generation projects are not currently subject to significant competition as the output from these facilities is primarily sold under long-term power purchase agreements with terms generally ranging from 15 to 25 years. However, in the future, such operations may compete with other power generation facilities to serve certain large-scale customers after the power purchase agreements expire. Competition for the merchant fleet is impacted by electricity and fuel prices, new market entrants, construction by others of generating assets and transmission capacity, technological advances in power generation, the actions of environmental and other regulatory authorities and other factors. These competitive factors may negatively impact the merchant fleet’s ability to profit from the sale of electricity and related products and services.
Millstone is dependent on its ability to operate in a competitive environment and does not have a predetermined rate structure that provides for an ROIC. Millstone operates within a functioning RTO and primarily compete on the basis of price. Competitors include other generating assets bidding to operate within the RTO. Millstone competes in the wholesale market with other generators to sell a variety of products including energy, capacity and ancillary services. It is difficult to compare various types of generation given the wide range of fuels, fuel procurement strategies, efficiencies and operating characteristics of the fleet within any given RTO. However, Dominion Energy applies its expertise in operations, dispatch and risk management to maximize the degree to which its nonrenewable merchant fleet is competitive compared to similar assets within the region.
Regulation
Dominion Energy’s contracted generation fleet is subject to regulation by the NRC, the EPA, the DOE, the Army Corps of Engineers and other federal, state and local authorities. See
Regulation, Future Issues and Other Matters
in Item 7, MD&A and Notes 13 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Properties

Dominion Energy plans to acquire or construct certain solar facilities in the
Mid-Atlantic.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Investments
See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about Dominion Energy’s equity method investment in Fowler Ridge.
Sources of Energy Supply
Contracted Generation’s renewable fleet utilizes solar and wind energy to power its electric generation while Millstone utilizes nuclear fuel to power its electric generation. In addition, Dominion Energy occasionally purchases electricity from the
ISO-NE
spot market to satisfy physical forward sale requirements, as described below. Some of these agreements have fixed commitments and are included as contractual obligations in
Future Cash
Payments for Contractual Obligations and Planned Capital Expenditures
in Item 7. MD&A.
Nuclear Fuel
—Millstone primarily utilizes long-term contracts to support its nuclear fuel requirements. Worldwide market conditions are continuously evaluated to ensure a range of supply options at reasonable prices which are dependent on the market environment. Current agreements, inventories and spot market availability are expected to support current and planned fuel supply needs. Additional fuel is purchased as required to ensure optimal cost and inventory levels.
Seasonality
Sales of electricity for Contracted Generation typically vary seasonally as a result of the weather.
Nuclear Decommissioning
Dominion Energy has two licensed, operating nuclear reactors at Millstone in Connecticut. A third Millstone unit ceased operations before Dominion Energy acquired the power station. In May 2013, Dominion Energy ceased operations at its single Kewaunee unit in Wisconsin and commenced decommissioning activities using the SAFSTOR methodology. The planned decommissioning completion date is 2073, which is within the NRC allowed
60-year
window.
As part of Dominion Energy’s acquisition of both Millstone and Kewaunee, it acquired decommissioning funds for the related units. Any funds remaining in Kewaunee’s trust after decommissioning is completed are required to be refunded to Wisconsin ratepayers. Dominion Energy believes that the amounts currently available in the decommissioning trusts and their expected earnings will be sufficient to cover expected decommissioning costs for the Millstone and Kewaunee units. Dominion Energy will continue to monitor these trusts to ensure they meet the NRC minimum financial assurance requirements, which may include, if needed, the use of parent company guarantees, surety bonding or other financial instruments recognized by the NRC. The most recent site-specific studies completed for Millstone and for Kewaunee were performed in 2019 and 2018, respectively.

20 |  |  |  |  |  |

The estimated decommissioning costs, funds in trust and current license expiration dates for Millstone and Kewaunee are shown in the following table:

|  | NRC license expiration year |  |  | Most recent cost estimate (2019 dollars) (1) |  |  | Funds in trusts at December 31, 2019 |  |  | 2019 contributions to trusts |

However, Virginia Power and DESC may not construct generating facilities or large capacity transmission lines without the prior approval of various state and federal government agencies. In addition, the Virginia Commission and the North Carolina Commission regulate Virginia Power’s and the South Carolina Commission regulates DESC’s transactions with affiliates and transfers of certain facilities. The Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina Commissions also regulate the issuance of certain securities.
Electric Regulation in Virginia
The Regulation Act provides for a
cost-of-service
rate model and permits Virginia Power to seek recovery of costs for new generation projects, including pumped hydroelectricity generation and storage facilities as well as extensions of operating licenses of nuclear power generation facilities, FERC-approved transmission costs, underground distribution lines, certain environmental compliance, conservation and energy efficiency programs and renewable energy programs through stand-alone rate adjustment clauses, and also contains statutory provisions directing Virginia Power to file annual fuel cost recovery cases with the Virginia Commission. As amended, it provides for enhanced returns on capital expenditures on specific newly-proposed generation projects.
In March 2018, the GTSA reinstated base rate reviews on a triennial basis other than the first review, which will be a quadrennial review, occurring for Virginia Power in 2021 for the four successive
12-month
test periods beginning January 1, 2017 and ending December 31, 2020.
In the triennial review proceedings, earnings that are more than 70 basis points above the utility’s authorized ROE that might have been refunded to customers and served as the basis for a reduction in future rates, may be reduced by Virginia Commission-approved investment amounts in qualifying solar or wind generation facilities or electric distribution grid transformation projects that Virginia Power elects to include as a customer credit reinvestment offset. The legislation declares that electric distribution grid transformation projects are in the public interest and provides that Virginia Power may seek to recover the costs of such projects through a rate adjustment clause if not the subject of a customer credit reinvestment offset. Any costs that are the subject of a customer credit reinvestment offset may not be recovered in base rates for the service life of the projects and may not be included in base rates in future triennial review proceedings. In any triennial review in which the Virginia Commission determines that the utility’s earnings are more than 70 basis points above its authorized ROE, base rates are subject to reduction prospectively and customer refunds would be due unless the total customer credit reinvestment offset elected by the utility equals or exceeds the amount of earnings in excess of the 70 basis points. In the 2021 review, any such rate reduction is limited to $50 million.

Electric Regulation in North Carolina
Virginia Power’s retail electric base rates in North Carolina are regulated on a
cost-of-service/rate-of
-return
basis subject to North Carolina statutes and the rules and procedures of the North Carolina Commission. North Carolina base rates are set by a process that allows Virginia Power to recover its operating costs and an ROIC. If retail electric earnings exceed the authorized ROE established by the North Carolina Commission, retail electric rates may be subject to review and possible reduction by the North Carolina Commission, which may decrease Virginia Power’s future earnings. Additionally, if the North Carolina Commission does not allow recovery of costs incurred in providing service on a timely basis, Virginia Power’s future earnings could be negatively impacted. Fuel rates are subject to revision under annual fuel cost adjustment proceedings.
Virginia Power’s transmission service rates in North Carolina are regulated by the North Carolina Commission as part of Virginia Power’s bundled retail service to North Carolina customers. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Electric Regulation in South Carolina
DESC’s retail electric base rates in South Carolina are regulated on a
cost-of-service/rate-of
-return
basis subject to South Carolina statutes and the rules and procedures of the South Carolina Commission. South Carolina base rates are set by a process that allows DESC to recover its operating costs and an ROIC. If retail electric earnings exceed the authorized ROE established by the South Carolina Commission, retail electric rates may be subject to review and possible reduction, which may decrease DESC’s future earnings. Additionally, if the South Carolina Commission does not allow recovery of costs incurred in providing service on a timely basis, DESC’s future earnings could be negatively impacted. Fuel costs are reviewed annually by the South Carolina Commission, as required by statute, and fuel rates are subject to revision in these annual fuel proceedings.
DESC offers to its retail electric customers several DSM programs designed to assist customers in reducing their demand for electricity and improving their energy efficiency. DESC submits annual filings to the South Carolina Commission related to these programs. As actual DSM program costs are incurred, they are deferred as regulatory assets and recovered through a rider approved by the South Carolina Commission. The rider also provides for recovery of any net lost revenues and for a shared savings incentive.
In connection with the SCANA Combination, DESC agreed not to file a general rate case with the South Carolina Commission with a requested rate effective date earlier than January 2021. Rate adjustments are permitted prior to 2021 for fuel and environmental costs, DSM costs and other rates routinely adjusted on an annual or biennial basis.
See Notes 3 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Gas
Questar Gas and Wexpro’s natural gas development, production, transportation, and distribution services, including the rates it may charge its customers, are regulated by the state commissions of Utah, Wyoming and Idaho. East Ohio’s natural gas distribution services, including the rates it may charge its customers, are regulated by the Ohio Commission. Hope’s natural gas distribution services are regulated by the West Virginia Commission. DESC and PSNC’s natural gas distribution services are regulated by the South Carolina Commission and North Carolina Commission, respectively.
Gas Regulation in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho
Questar Gas is subject to regulation of rates and other aspects of its business by the Utah, Wyoming and Idaho Commissions. The Idaho Commission has contracted with the Utah Commission for rate oversight of Questar Gas’ operations in a small area of southeastern Idaho. When necessary, Questar Gas seeks general base rate increases to recover increased operating costs and a fair return on rate base investments. Base rates are set based on the
cost-of-service
by rate class. Base rates for Questar Gas are designed primarily based on rate design methodology in which the majority of operating costs are recovered through volumetric charges. The volumetric charges for the residential and small commercial customers in Utah and Wyoming are subject to revenue decoupling and adjusted for changes in usage per customer.
In addition to general rate increases, Questar Gas makes routine separate filings with the Utah and Wyoming Commissions to reflect changes in the costs of purchased gas. The majority of these purchased gas costs are subject to rate recovery through the Wexpro Agreement and Wexpro II Agreement. Costs that are expected to be recovered in future rates are deferred as regulatory assets. The purchased gas recovery filings generally cover a prospective twelve-month period. Approved increases or decreases in gas cost recovery rates result in increases or decreases in revenues with corresponding increases or decreases in net purchased gas cost expenses.
The Utah and Wyoming Commissions have also approved several stand-alone cost recovery mechanisms to recover specified costs and a return for infrastructure projects between general base rate cases.
See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Gas Regulation in Ohio
East Ohio is subject to regulation of rates and other aspects of its business by the Ohio Commission. When necessary, East Ohio seeks general base rate increases to recover increased operating costs and a fair return on rate base investments. Base rates are set based on the
cost-of-service
by rate class. A straight-fixed-variable rate design, in which the majority of operating costs are recovered through a monthly charge rather than a volumetric charge, is utilized to establish rates for a majority of East Ohio’s customers pursuant to a 2008 rate case settlement.
In addition to general base rate increases, East Ohio makes routine filings with the Ohio Commission to reflect changes in the costs of gas purchased for operational balancing on its system. These purchased gas costs are subject to rate recovery through a

22 |  |  |  |  |  |

mechanism that ensures dollar for dollar recovery of prudently incurred costs. Costs that are expected to be recovered in future rates are deferred as regulatory assets. The rider filings cover unrecovered gas costs plus prospective annual demand costs. Increases or decreases in gas cost rider rates result in increases or decreases in revenues with corresponding increases or decreases in net purchased gas cost expenses.
The Ohio Commission has also approved several stand-alone cost recovery mechanisms to recover specified costs and a return for infrastructure projects between general base rate cases. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Gas Regulation in West Virginia
Hope is subject to regulation of rates and other aspects of its business by the West Virginia Commission. When necessary, Hope seeks general base rate increases to recover increased operating costs and a fair return on rate base investments. Base rates are set based on the
cost-of-service
by rate class. Base rates for Hope are designed primarily based on rate design methodology in which the majority of operating costs are recovered through volumetric charges.
In addition to general rate increases, Hope makes routine separate filings with the West Virginia Commission to reflect changes in the costs of purchased gas. The majority of these purchased gas costs are subject to rate recovery through a mechanism that ensures dollar for dollar recovery of prudently incurred costs. Costs that are expected to be recovered in future rates are deferred as regulatory assets. The purchased gas cost recovery filings generally cover a prospective twelve-month period. Approved increases or decreases in gas cost recovery rates result in increases or decreases in revenues with corresponding increases or decreases in net purchased gas cost expenses.
The West Virginia Commission has also approved a stand-alone cost recovery mechanism to recover specified costs and a return for infrastructure projects between general base rate cases. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Gas Regulation in North Carolina
PSNC is subject to regulation of rates and other aspects of its business by the North Carolina Commission. When necessary, PSNC seeks general base rate increases to recover increased operating costs and a fair return on rate base investments. Base rates are set based on the
cost-of-service
by rate class. Base rates for PSNC are designed primarily based on rate design methodology in which the majority of operating costs are recovered through volumetric charges. The volumetric charges for the residential and commercial customers are subject to revenue decoupling and adjusted for changes in usage per customer.
In addition to general rate increases, PSNC makes routine separate filings with the North Carolina Commission to reflect changes in the costs of purchased gas. PSNC’s purchased gas adjustment allows it to recover from customers all prudently incurred gas costs, including transportation costs, and certain related uncollectible expenses. Costs that are expected to be recovered in future rates are deferred as regulatory assets. The purchased gas recovery filings are made periodically to reflect prospective costs and recovery. Approved increases or decreases in
gas cost recovery rates result in increases or decreases in revenues with corresponding increases or decreases in net purchased gas cost expenses.
The North Carolina Commission has also approved a stand-alone cost recovery mechanism to recover specified costs and a return for infrastructure projects between general base rate cases.
In connection with the SCANA Combination, PSNC agreed not to file a general rate case with the North Carolina Commission with a requested rate effective date earlier than November 2021 other than for rate adjustments as described above.
See Notes 3 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Gas Regulation in South Carolina
DESC is subject to regulation of rates and other aspects of its natural gas distribution service by the South Carolina Commission. DESC provides retail natural gas service to customers in areas in which it has received authorization from the South Carolina Commission and in municipalities in which it holds a franchise. DESC’s base rates can be adjusted annually, pursuant to the Natural Gas Rate Stabilization Act, for recovery of costs related to natural gas infrastructure. Base rates are set based on the
cost-of-service
by rate class approved by the South Carolina Commission in the latest general rate case. Base rates for DESC are based primarily on a rate design methodology in which the majority of operating costs are recovered through volumetric charges. DESC also utilizes a weather normalization adjustment to adjust its base rates during the winter billing months for residential and commercial customers to mitigate the effects of unusually cold or warm weather.
In addition, DESC’s natural gas tariffs include a purchased gas adjustment that provides for the recovery of prudently incurred gas costs, including transportation costs. DESC is authorized to adjust its purchased gas rates monthly and makes routine filings with the South Carolina Commission to provide notification of changes in these rates. Costs that are under or over recovered are deferred as regulatory assets or liabilities, respectively, and considered in subsequent purchased gas adjustments. The purchased gas adjustment filings generally cover a prospective twelve-month period. Increases or decreases in purchased gas costs can result in corresponding changes in purchased gas adjustment rates and the revenue generated by those rates. The South Carolina Commission reviews DESC’s gas purchasing policies and practices, including its administration of the purchased gas adjustment, annually.
See Notes 3 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Status of Competitive Retail Gas Services
Ohio has considered legislation regarding a competitive deregulation of natural gas sales at the retail level.
Since October 2000, East Ohio has offered the Energy Choice program, under which residential and commercial customers are encouraged to purchase gas directly from retail suppliers or through a community aggregation program. In October 2006, East Ohio restructured its commodity service by entering into gas purchase contracts with selected suppliers at a fixed price above the New York Mercantile Exchange
month-end
settlement and passing that gas cost to customers under the Standard Service

23

Offer program. Starting in April 2009, East Ohio buys natural gas under the Standard Service Offer program for customers not eligible to participate in the Energy Choice program and certain transitional customers only and places Energy Choice-eligible customers in a direct retail relationship with selected suppliers, which is designated on the customers’ bills.
In January 2013, the Ohio Commission granted East Ohio’s motion to fully exit the merchant function for its nonresidential customers, beginning in April 2013, which requires those customers to choose a retail supplier or be assigned to one at a monthly variable rate set by the supplier. At December 31, 2019, approximately 1.1 million of East Ohio’s 1.2 million customers were participating in the Energy Choice program. Subject to the Ohio Commission’s approval, East Ohio may eventually exit the gas merchant function in Ohio entirely and have all customers select an alternate gas supplier. East Ohio continues to be the provider of last resort in the event of default by a supplier. Large industrial customers in Ohio also source their own natural gas supplies.
Federal Regulations
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Electric
Under the Federal Power Act, FERC regulates wholesale sales and transmission of electricity in interstate commerce by public utilities. Virginia Power purchases and sells electricity in the PJM wholesale market and sells electricity to wholesale purchasers in Virginia and North Carolina. Dominion Energy’s merchant generators sell electricity in the PJM, CAISO and
ISO-NE
wholesale markets, and to wholesale purchasers in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana, Connecticut, Tennessee, Georgia, California, South Carolina and Utah, under Dominion Energy’s market-based sales tariffs authorized by FERC or pursuant to FERC authority to sell as a qualified facility. DESC may make wholesale sales at market-based rates outside its balancing authority pursuant to its market-based sales tariff authorized by FERC. In addition, Virginia Power and DESC have FERC approval of tariffs to sell wholesale power at capped rates based on their respective embedded cost of generation. These cost-based sales tariffs could be used to sell to loads within or outside Virginia Power and DESC’s service territories. Any such sales would be voluntary.
Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and DESC are subject to FERC’s Standards of Conduct that govern conduct between transmission function employees of interstate gas and electricity transmission providers and the marketing function employees of their affiliates. The rule defines the scope of transmission and marketing-related functions that are covered by the standards and is designed to prevent transmission providers from giving their affiliates undue preferences.
Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and DESC are also subject to FERC’s affiliate restrictions that (1) prohibit power sales between merchant plants and utility plants without first receiving FERC authorization, (2) require the merchant and utility plants to conduct their wholesale power sales operations separately, and (3) prohibit utilities from sharing market information with merchant plant operating personnel. The rules are designed to prohibit utilities from giving the merchant plants a competitive advantage.
EPACT included provisions to create an Electric Reliability Organization, which is required to promulgate mandatory reliability standards governing the operation of the bulk power system in the U.S. FERC has certified NERC as the Electric Reliability Organization and also issued an initial order approving many reliability standards that went into effect in 2007. Entities that violate standards will be subject to fines of up to $1.2 million per day, per violation and can also be assessed
non-monetary
penalties, depending upon the nature and severity of the violation.
Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and DESC plan and operate their facilities in compliance with approved NERC reliability requirements. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power employees participate on various NERC committees, track the development and implementation of standards, and maintain proper compliance registration with NERC’s regional organizations. Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and DESC anticipate incurring additional compliance expenditures over the next several years because of the implementation of new cybersecurity programs. In addition, NERC has redefined critical assets which expanded the number of assets subject to NERC reliability standards, including cybersecurity assets. NERC continues to develop additional requirements specifically regarding supply chain standards and control centers that impact the bulk electric system. While Dominion Energy Virginia Power and DESC expect to incur additional compliance costs in connection with NERC requirements and initiatives, such expenses are not expected to significantly affect results of operations.
In April 2008, FERC granted an application for Virginia Power’s electric transmission operations to establish a forward-looking formula rate mechanism that updates transmission rates on an annual basis and approved an ROE effective as of January 1, 2008. The formula rate is designed to recover the expected revenue requirement for each calendar year and is updated based on actual costs. The FERC-approved formula method, which is based on projected costs, allows Virginia Power to earn a current return on its growing investment in electric transmission infrastructure.
In October 2011, FERC issued an order approving the settlement of DESC’s formula rate that updates transmission rates on an annual basis, including its ROE. The formula rate is designed to recover the expected revenue requirement for the calendar year and is updated annually based on actual costs. This FERC accepted formula rate enables DESC to earn a return on its investment in electric transmission infrastructure.
Gas
FERC regulates the transportation and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate commerce under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, as amended. Under the Natural Gas Act, FERC has authority over rates, terms and conditions of services performed by Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, DETI, DECG, Iroquois and certain services performed by Cove Point. The operation of the Cove Point LNG Facility, including associated natural gas pipelines, the Liquefaction Facility and the import and export of LNG are also regulated by FERC.
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ interstate gas transmission and storage activities are conducted on an open access basis, in accordance with certificates, tariffs and service agreements on file with FERC and FERC regulations.

24 |  |  |  |  |  |

Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas operate in compliance with FERC standards of conduct, which prohibit the sharing of certain
non-public
transmission information or customer specific data by its interstate gas transmission and storage companies with
non-transmission
function employees. Pursuant to these standards of conduct, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas also make certain informational postings available on Dominion Energy’s website.
See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Safety Regulations
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are also subject to the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 and the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty and Job Creation Act of 2011, which mandate inspections of interstate and intrastate natural gas transmission and storage pipelines, particularly those located in areas of high-density population. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas have evaluated their natural gas transmission and storage properties, as required by the U.S. Department of Transportation regulations under these Acts, and have implemented a program of identification, testing and potential remediation activities. These activities are ongoing.
The Companies are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations, including Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and comparable state statutes, whose purpose is to protect the health and safety of workers. The Companies have an internal safety, health and security program designed to monitor and enforce compliance with worker safety requirements, which is routinely reviewed and considered for improvement. The Companies believe that they are in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations related to worker health and safety. Notwithstanding these preventive measures, incidents may occur that are outside of the Companies’ control.
Environmental Regulations
Each of the Companies’ operating segments is subject to substantial laws, regulations and compliance costs with respect to environmental matters. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations authorize the imposition of significant penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. The cost of complying with applicable environmental laws, regulations and rules is expected to be material to the Companies. If compliance expenditures and associated operating costs are not recoverable from customers through regulated rates (in regulated businesses) or market prices (in unregulated businesses), those costs could adversely affect future results of operations and cash flows. The Companies have applied for or obtained the necessary environmental permits for the construction and operation of their facilities. Many of these permits are subject to reissuance and continuing review. For a discussion of significant aspects of these matters, including current and planned capital expenditures relating to environmental compliance required to be discussed in this Item, see
Environmental Matters
in
Future Issues and Other Matters
in Item 7. MD&A. Additional information can also be found in Item 3. Legal Proceedings and Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Global Climate Change
The Companies support a federal climate change program that would provide a consistent, economy-wide approach to addressing this issue. Regardless of federal action, the Companies are reducing their GHG emissions while meeting the growing needs of their customers. Dominion Energy’s CEO and operating segment CEOs are responsible for compliance with the laws and regulations governing environmental matters, including GHG emissions, and Dominion Energy’s Board of Directors receives periodic updates on these matters. See
Environmental Strategy
below
, Environmental Matters
in
Future Issues and Other Matters
in Item 7. MD&A and Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on climate change legislation and regulation.
Air
The CAA is a comprehensive program utilizing a broad range of regulatory tools to protect and preserve the nation’s air quality. Regulated emissions include, but are not limited to, carbon, methane, VOC, NO
X
, other GHGs, mercury, other toxic metals, hydrogen chloride, SO
2
and particulate matter. At a minimum, delegated states are required to establish regulatory programs to address all requirements of the CAA. However, states may choose to develop regulatory programs that are more restrictive. Many of the Companies’ facilities are subject to the CAA’s permitting and other requirements.
Water
The CWA is a comprehensive program requiring a broad range of regulatory tools including a permit program to authorize and regulate discharges to surface waters with strong enforcement mechanisms. The CWA and analogous state laws impose restrictions and strict controls regarding discharges of effluent into surface waters and require permits to be obtained from the EPA or the analogous state agency for those discharges. Containment berms and similar structures may be required to help prevent accidental releases. Dominion Energy must comply with applicable CWA requirements at its current and former operating facilities. Stormwater related to construction activities is also regulated under the CWA and by state and local stormwater management and erosion and sediment control laws. From time to time, Dominion Energy’s projects and operations may impact tidal and
non-tidal
wetlands. In these instances, Dominion Energy must obtain authorization from the appropriate federal, state and local agencies prior to impacting wetlands. The authorizing agency may impose significant direct or indirect mitigation costs to compensate for such impacts to wetlands.
Waste and Chemical Management
Dominion Energy is subject to various federal and state laws and implementing regulations governing the management, storage, treatment, reuse and disposal of waste materials and hazardous substances, including the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, CERCLA, the Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know
Act of 1986 and the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976. Dominion Energy’s operations and construction activities, including activities associated with oil and gas production and gas storage wells, generate waste. Across Dominion Energy, completion water is disposed at commercial disposal

25

facilities. Produced water is either hauled for disposal, evaporated or injected into company and third-party owned underground injection wells. Wells drilled in
tight-gas-sand
and shale reservoirs require hydraulic-fracture stimulation to achieve economic production rates and recoverable reserves. The majority of Wexpro’s current and future production and reserve potential is derived from reservoirs that require hydraulic-fracture stimulation to be commercially viable. Currently, all well construction activities, including hydraulic-fracture stimulation and management and disposal of hydraulic fracturing fluids, are regulated by federal and state agencies that review and approve all aspects of
gas-
and
oil-well
design and operation.
Protected Species
The ESA and analogous state laws prohibit activities that can result in harm to specific species of plants and animals, as well as impacts to the habitat on which those species depend. In addition to ESA programs, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act establish broader prohibitions on harm to protected birds. Many of the Companies’ facilities are subject to requirements of the ESA, Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The ESA and Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act require potentially lengthy coordination with the state and federal agencies to ensure potentially affected species are protected. Ultimately, the suite of species protections may restrict company activities to certain times of year, project modifications may be necessary to avoid harm, or a permit may be needed for unavoidable taking of the species. The authorizing agency may impose mitigation requirements and costs to compensate for harm of a protected species or habitat loss. These requirements and time of year restrictions can result in adverse impacts on project plans and schedules such that the Companies’ businesses may be materially affected.
Other Regulations
Other significant environmental regulations to which the Companies are subject include federal and state laws protecting graves, sacred sites, historic sites and cultural resources, including those of American Indian tribal nations and tribal communities. These can result in compliance and mitigation costs as well as potential adverse effects on project plans and schedules such that the Companies’ businesses may be materially affected.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
All aspects of the operation and maintenance of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear power stations are regulated by the NRC. Operating licenses issued by the NRC are subject to revocation, suspension or modification, and the operation of a nuclear unit may be suspended if the NRC determines that the public interest, health or safety so requires.
From time to time, the NRC adopts new requirements for the operation and maintenance of nuclear facilities. In many cases, these new regulations require changes in the design, operation and maintenance of existing nuclear facilities. If the NRC adopts such requirements in the future, it could result in substantial increases in the cost of operating and maintaining Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear generating units. See Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
The NRC also requires Dominion Energy and Virginia Power to decontaminate their nuclear facilities once operations cease. This process is referred to as decommissioning, and Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are required by the NRC to be financially prepared. For information on decommissioning trusts, see
Dominion Energy Virginia-Nuclear Decommissioning
,
Dominion Energy South Carolina-Nuclear Decommissioning,
and
Contracted Generation-Nuclear Decommissioning
above and Notes 3 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Notes 3 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on spent nuclear fuel.
Environmental Strategy
The Companies’ environmental strategy is a component of the overall long-term strategic planning overseen by the CEO and Board of Directors, including oversight by the sustainability and corporate responsibility board committee which was formed in 2018. The Companies are committed to ongoing industry leadership, delivering safe, reliable, clean and affordable energy while fully complying with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. Additionally, the Companies seek to build partnerships and engage with local communities, stakeholders and customers on environmental issues important to them, including environmental justice considerations such as fair treatment, inclusive involvement and effective communication. The Companies believe in being transparent about their environmental commitments, policies, including the Environmental Justice Policy adopted in 2018, and initiatives which have been disclosed in a Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Report, Climate Report and other reports included on Dominion Energy’s dedicated Environmental, Social and Governance website. The Companies are dedicated to meeting their customers’ growing energy needs with innovative, sustainable solutions. The Companies are pursuing initiatives intended to reduce the GHG footprint of their customers and energy end-users, including a school bus electrification program in Virginia and two renewable natural gas partnerships in the agricultural sector. It is the Companies’ belief that sustainable solutions should strive to balance the interdependent goals of environmental stewardship and economic effects. The integrated strategy to meet these objectives consists of three major elements:

• | Reduction of GHG emissions;

• | Energy infrastructure modernization, including natural gas and electric operations; and

• | Conservation and energy efficiency.

Reduction of GHG Emissions
The Companies’ integrated strategy has resulted in a reduction in GHG emissions and emission intensity. Dominion Energy has committed to cut methane emissions by 65% by 2030 and by 80% by 2040, in each case relative to 2010 emissions. Dominion Energy has further committed to achieve net zero carbon and methane emissions from its electric generation and natural gas infrastructure operations by 2050.
Over the past two decades, the Companies have made changes to the generation mix and to natural gas operations which have significantly improved environmental performance. For example,

26 |  |  |  |  |  |

Dominion Energy has reduced both its carbon emissions and its carbon intensity while generating electricity with an increasingly clean portfolio. From 2000 through 2018, Dominion Energy’s carbon intensity decreased by 53%. This strategy has also resulted in measurable reductions of other air pollutants such as NO
X
, SO
2
and mercury and reduced the amount of coal ash generated and the amount of water withdrawn. The principal components of the strategy include initiatives that address electric energy production and delivery, natural gas storage, transmission and delivery and energy management.
See
Operating Segments
for more information on certain of the projects described above.
Cleaner Generation
Renewable energy is an important component of a diverse and reliable energy mix. Dominion Energy has nearly 3,200 MW of solar generating capacity in operation or under development in nine states, including offtake agreements for Virginia Power’s utility customers. Dominion Energy continues to add utility-scale solar capacity and currently has the fourth largest utility-owned solar fleet in the U.S. Backed by nearly $2 billion of investment from 2018 through 2020, Dominion Energy has grown its solar fleet in Virginia and North Carolina to about 2,400 MW in service, in construction or under development.
The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Pilot project is a 12 MW offshore wind demonstration project that is currently under construction and will be commercially available before the end of 2020. The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Commercial project is a 2,640 MW offshore wind project that was announced in September 2019 with construction beginning in 2024 and an anticipated completion in 2026.
Preservation of the Companies’ existing carbon-free baseload nuclear generation is also an important component of Dominion Energy’s GHG emissions reduction strategy. Accordingly, Virginia Power has commenced the process to extend the operating licenses for its four nuclear units at Surry and North Anna.
See
Operating Segments
and Item 2. Properties for additional information, including Dominion Energy’s merchant solar properties.
GHG Emissions
Since 2000, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have tracked the emissions of their electric generation fleet, which employs a mix of fuel and renewable energy sources. Comparing annual year 2018 to annual year 2000, the entire electric generating fleet (based on ownership percentage) reduced its average CO
2
emissions rate per MWh of energy produced from electric generation by approximately 53%. Comparing annual year 2018 to annual year 2000, the regulated electric generating fleet (based on ownership percentage) reduced its average CO
2
emissions rate per MWh of energy produced from electric generation by approximately 39%. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s 2019 emission data is not yet available. Emissions data disclosed herein excludes the operations acquired in the SCANA Combination.
Dominion Energy also develops a comprehensive GHG inventory annually. For Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s electric generation operations, direct CO
2
equivalent emissions (based on ownership percentage) were 27.8 million metric tons and 24.6 million metric tons, respectively, in 2018, compared to 30.1 million metric tons and 26.5 million metric tons,
respectively, in 2017. The corresponding carbon intensity rates for Dominion Energy’s electric generation operations were 0.276 metric tons CO
2
equivalent emissions per net MWh in 2018 and 0.295 metric tons CO
2
equivalent emissions per net MWh in 2017.
For regulated electric transmission and distribution operations, direct CO
2
equivalent emissions for 2018 were 39,900 metric tons, compared to 37,841 metric tons in 2017.
Dominion Energy’s natural gas companies have been reporting GHG emissions to the EPA since 2011 under the GHG Reporting Program. In January 2016, the GHG Reporting Program was expanded to also include GHG inputs and emissions associated with natural gas gathering and boosting sources and transmission pipeline blowdowns for facilities that exceed 25,000 metric tons per year of CO
2
equivalent emissions. The sources within these new facilities were not previously covered under the rule and the first reports for these new sources were submitted to the EPA by March 31, 2017.
Dominion Energy’s GHG inventory follows all methodologies specified in the EPA Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 98 for calculating emissions. Total CO
2
equivalent emissions reported for Dominion Energy’s natural gas assets, as estimated in Dominion Energy’s corporate inventory, were 4.14 million metric tons in 2018. This estimate includes emissions reported under the GHG Reporting Program, as well as other emissions not required to be reported under the federal program. The 2018 corporate GHG inventory emission estimate includes Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, Questar Gas and Wexpro Company for the entire calendar year. Dominion Energy’s 2018 methane emissions reported under Subpart W of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule are as follows:

Subpart W Segment |  | Subpart W Total CH 4 Emissions (mcf CH 4 ) |
Distribution |  |  | 1,839,577 |
Production |  |  | 736,188 |
Transmission pipelines |  |  | 403,164 |
Transmission compressor stations |  |  | 219,011 |

Methane Emissions
In July 2015, the EPA announced the next generation of its voluntary Natural Gas STAR Program, the Natural Gas STAR Methane Challenge Program. The program covers the entire natural gas sector from production to distribution, with more emphasis on transparency and increased reporting for both annual emissions and reductions achieved through implementation measures. Dominion Energy is a member of the Methane Challenge program and East Ohio, Hope, DETI and Questar Gas were founding partners. Dominion Energy is a member of the EPA’s voluntary Natural Gas STAR program. Dominion Energy joined the One Future Coalition and participated in the 2018 and 2019 progress reports. One Future is an
industry-led
group and member companies pledge to limit methane emissions to below 1% of gas throughput across the entire natural gas value chain. The entities acquired in the SCANA Combination are expected to join the voluntary methane programs in 2020.

27

Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas do not expect the costs related to these programs to have a material impact on their results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Energy Infrastructure Modernization
Dominion Energy’s investment plan from 2019 through 2023 includes a focus on upgrading the electric system in Virginia through investments in additional renewable generation facilities, smart meters, customer information platform, intelligent grid devices and associated control systems, physical and cyber security investments, strategic undergrounding and energy conservation programs. Dominion Energy also plans to upgrade its gas and electric transmission and distribution networks and meet environmental requirements and standards set by various regulatory bodies. These enhancements are aimed at meeting Dominion Energy’s continued goal of providing reliable service, to address increasing electricity consumption, and make Dominion Energy’s system more responsive to customers’ desire to more efficiently manage their energy consumption and more adaptive to renewable resources and battery technologies. See
Operating Segments
for additional information.
The Companies have also implemented infrastructure improvements and improved operational practices to reduce the GHG emissions from their natural gas facilities. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas, in connection with the investment plan, are also pursuing the construction or upgrade of regulated infrastructure in their natural gas businesses. The Companies have made voluntary commitments as part of the EPA Methane Challenge Program to continue to reduce methane emissions as part of these improvements. See
Operating Segments
for additional information, including natural gas infrastructure projects.
Conservation and Energy Efficiency
Conservation and load management play a significant role in meeting the growing demand for electricity and natural gas, while also helping to reduce the environmental footprint of Dominion Energy’s customers. The Companies offer various energy efficiency programs in Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Utah and Wyoming designed to reduce energy consumption including programs such as:

• | Energy audits and assessments;

• | Incentives for customers to upgrade or install certain energy efficient measures and/or systems;

• | Weatherization assistance to help income-eligible customers reduce their energy usage;

• | Home energy planning, which provides homeowners with a step-by-step roadmap to efficiency improvements to reduce gas usage; and

• | Rebates for installing high-efficiency equipment.

Cybersecurity
In an effort to reduce the likelihood and severity of cyber intrusions, the Companies have a comprehensive cybersecurity program designed to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data and systems, including oversight by the Board of Directors as well as the financial and risk oversight board committee. The Companies are subject to mandatory cybersecurity regulatory requirements, interface regularly with a wide range of external organizations and participate in classified briefings to maintain an
awareness of current cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. The Companies’ current security posture and regulatory compliance efforts are intended to address the evolving and changing cyber threats. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Companies’ businesses are influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and are often beyond their control. A number of these factors have been identified below. For other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement or projection contained in this report, see
Forward-Looking Statements
in Item 7. MD&A.
Regulatory, Legislative and Legal Risks
The rates of the Companies’ electric transmission, distribution and generation operations and gas transmission, storage and distribution operations are subject to regulatory review.
Revenue provided by the Companies’ electric transmission, distribution and generation operations and by gas transmission and distribution operations is based primarily on rates approved by state and federal regulatory agencies. The profitability of the Companies’ businesses is dependent on their ability, through the rates that they are permitted to charge, to recover costs and earn a reasonable rate of return on their capital investment.
At the federal level, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s wholesale rates for electric transmission service and various rates and charges assessed by Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ natural gas transmission and storage businesses are regulated by FERC. Rates for electric transmission services are updated annually according to a FERC-approved formula rate mechanism, and may be subject to additional prospective adjustments and retroactive corrections. Rates for gas transmission and storage services are adjusted in rate cases periodically and must reflect recovery of costs plus a reasonable return on investment, in accordance with cost of service ratemaking. A failure by the Companies to support these rates could result in rate decreases from current rate levels, which could adversely affect the Companies’ results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
At the state level, Virginia Power’s retail base rates, terms and conditions for generation and distribution services to customers in Virginia are reviewed by the Virginia Commission in a proceeding that involves the determination of Virginia Power’s actual earned ROE during a historic test period, and the determination of Virginia Power’s authorized ROE prospectively. Under certain circumstances described in the Regulation Act, Virginia Power may be required to refund a portion of its earnings to customers through a refund process and to reduce its rates.
In states other than Virginia, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s retail electric base rates for generation and distribution services to customers are regulated on a
cost-of-service/
rate-of-return
basis subject to the statutes, rules and procedures of such states. Dominion Energy’s rates for gas distribution to retail customers are similarly regulated at the state level. If retail electric or gas earnings exceed the returns established by state utility commissions, retail electric rates or gas rates may be subject to review and possible reduction, which may decrease the Companies’ future earnings. Additionally, if any state utility commission

28 |  |  |  |  |  |

does not allow recovery through base rates, on a timely basis, of costs incurred in providing service, the Company’s future earnings could be negatively impacted.
Under certain circumstances, state utility regulators may impose a moratorium on increases to retail base rates for a specified period of time, which could delay recovery of costs incurred in providing service. Additionally, governmental officials, stakeholders and advocacy groups may challenge any of these regulatory reviews. Such challenges may lengthen the time, complexity and costs associated with such regulatory reviews.
Through the SCANA Combination, Dominion Energy acquired SCANA and DESC which are subject to numerous legal proceedings and ongoing governmental investigations and examinations.
SCANA and DESC are defendants in numerous federal and state legal proceedings and governmental investigations relating to the decision to abandon construction at the NND Project. Among other things, the lawsuits and investigations allege misrepresentation, failure to properly manage the NND Project, unfair trade practices and violation of anti-trust laws. Additionally, pursuant to the SCANA Merger Agreement and applicable indemnification agreements, SCANA is indemnifying former directors and officers of SCANA and DESC who are defendants in federal and state legal proceedings relating to the decision to abandon construction at the NND Project and the subsequent SCANA Combination. Among other things, the lawsuits allege breaches of various fiduciary duties.
The outcome of these legal proceedings, investigations and examinations, including settlements, is uncertain and may adversely affect Dominion Energy’s financial condition or results of operation.
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s generation business may be negatively affected by possible FERC actions that could change market design in the wholesale markets or affect pricing rules or revenue calculations in the RTO markets.
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s generation stations operating in RTO markets sell capacity, energy and ancillary services into wholesale electricity markets regulated by FERC. The wholesale markets allow these generation stations to take advantage of market price opportunities, but also expose them to market risk. Properly functioning competitive wholesale markets depend upon FERC’s continuation of clearly identified market rules. From time to time FERC may investigate and authorize RTOs to make changes in market design. FERC also periodically reviews Dominion Energy’s authority to sell at market-based rates. Material changes by FERC to the design of the wholesale markets or its interpretation of market rules, Dominion Energy or Virginia Power’s authority to sell power at market-based rates, or changes to pricing rules or rules involving revenue calculations, could adversely impact the future results of Dominion Energy or Virginia Power’s generation business. For example, in December 2019, FERC issued an order on PJM’s Minimum Offer Price Rule proposals finding the PJM tariff unjust and unreasonable and directed PJM to expand the Minimum Offer Price Rule to all existing and new generation resources benefitting from a state subsidy to address the effects of state subsidies on new and existing resources on the PJM capacity market. The expanded Minimum Offer Price Rule will set a floor price on new and existing state subsidized resources that do not seek a FERC exemption, increasing their risk of failing to clear the capacity auction and
not obtaining a capacity payment and obligation. In addition, there have been changes to the interpretation and application of FERC’s market manipulation rules. A failure to comply with these rules could lead to civil and criminal penalties.
The Companies are subject to complex governmental regulation, including tax regulation, that could adversely affect
their results of operations and subject the Companies to monetary penalties.
The Companies’ operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation and require numerous permits, approvals and certificates from various governmental agencies. Such laws and regulations govern the terms and conditions of the services we offer, our relationships with affiliates, protection of our critical electric infrastructure assets and pipeline safety, among other matters. These operations are also subject to legislation governing taxation at the federal, state and local level. They must also comply with environmental legislation and associated regulations. Management believes that the necessary approvals have been obtained for existing operations and that the businesses are conducted in accordance with applicable laws. The Companies’ businesses are subject to regulatory regimes which could result in substantial monetary penalties if any of the Companies is found not to be in compliance, including mandatory reliability standards and interaction in the wholesale markets. New laws or regulations, the revision or reinterpretation of existing laws or regulations, changes in enforcement practices of regulators, or penalties imposed for
non-compliance
with existing laws or regulations may result in substantial additional expense. Recent legislative and regulatory changes that are impacting the Companies include the 2017 Tax Reform Act and tariffs imposed on imported solar panels by the U.S. government in 2018.
The 2017 Tax Reform Act could have a material impact on the Companies’ operations, cash flows, and financial results.
Excess accumulated deferred income taxes due to the reduction in the corporate income tax rates to 21% under the provisions of the 2017 Tax Reform Act have been recognized as regulatory liabilities and are expected to be shared with customers, generally through reductions in future rates or in the form of credits to customer bills. The 2017 Tax Reform Act includes provisions that stipulate how these excess deferred taxes may be passed back to customers for certain accelerated tax depreciation benefits. Potential reductions in future rates attributable to other,
non-plant
related excess deferred taxes may be determined by our regulators. The amount and timing of these reductions could be material to the Companies’ results of operations, cash flows and/or financial condition.
Additionally, the 2017 Tax Reform Act contains provisions that limit the interest deduction on business interest to (1) business interest income, plus (2) 30 percent of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income. Business interest and business interest income are defined as that allocable to a trade or business and not investment interest and income. Dominion Energy is a consolidated group with both regulated and nonregulated lines of businesses. In November 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued proposed regulations defining interest as any amounts associated with the time value of money or use of funds. These proposed regulations provide guidance for purposes of the exception to the interest limitation for regulated public utilities, the application of the interest limitation to consolidated groups, such as Dominion Energy, and the interest limitation with respect

29

to partnerships and partners in those partnerships. It is unclear when that guidance may be finalized, or whether that guidance could result in a disallowance of a portion of our interest deductions in the future.
Environmental Risks
The Companies’ operations and construction activities are subject to a number of environmental laws and regulations which impose significant compliance costs on the Companies.
The Companies’ operations and construction activities are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental statutes, rules and regulations relating to air quality, water quality, waste management, natural resources, and health and safety. Compliance with these legal requirements requires the Companies to commit significant capital toward permitting, emission fees, environmental monitoring, installation and operation of environmental control equipment and purchase of allowances and/or offsets. Additionally, the Companies could be responsible for expenses relating to remediation and containment obligations, including at sites where they have been identified by a regulatory agency as a potentially responsible party. Expenditures relating to environmental compliance have been significant in the past, and the Companies expect that they will remain significant in the future. Certain facilities have become uneconomical to operate and have been shut down, converted to new fuel types or sold. These types of events could occur again in the future.
We expect that existing environmental laws and regulations may be revised and/or new laws may be adopted including regulation of GHG emissions which could have an impact on the Companies’ business (risks relating to regulation of GHG emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units are discussed in more detail below). In addition, further regulation of air quality and GHG emissions under the CAA have been imposed on the natural gas sector, including rules to limit methane leakage. The Companies are also subject to federal water and waste regulations, including regulations concerning cooling water intake structures, coal combustion
by-product
handling and disposal practices, wastewater discharges from steam electric generating stations, management and disposal of hydraulic fracturing fluids and the potential further regulation of polychlorinated biphenyls.
Compliance costs cannot be estimated with certainty due to the inability to predict the requirements and timing of implementation of any new environmental rules or regulations. Other factors which affect the ability to predict future environmental expenditures with certainty include the difficulty in estimating
clean-up
costs and quantifying liabilities under environmental laws that impose joint and several liabilities on all responsible parties. However, such expenditures, if material, could make the Companies’ facilities uneconomical to operate, result in the impairment of assets, or otherwise adversely affect the Companies’ results of operations, financial performance or liquidity.
Any additional federal and/or state requirements imposed on energy companies mandating limitations on GHG emissions or requiring efficiency improvements may result in compliance costs that alone or in combination could make some of the Companies’ electric generation units or natural gas facilities uneconomical to maintain or operate.
The ACE Rule, which became effective in September 2019, is targeted at reducing CO
2
emissions from existing coal-fired power plants. The ACE
Rule requires states to develop plans by July 2022 to implement CO
2
performance standards. State plans must be approved by the EPA by January 2024. States are also contemplating regulations regarding GHG emissions. For example, the Virginia General Assembly is considering legislation which would authorize Virginia to directly join the RGGI program as a full participant. Compliance with the ACE Rule or other federal or state carbon regulations, such as the RGGI program, is expected to require increasing the energy efficiency of equipment at facilities, committing significant capital toward carbon reduction programs, purchase of allowances and/or emission offset credits, fuel switching, and/or retirement of high-emitting generation facilities and potential replacement with lower-emitting generation facilities. Given these developments and uncertainties, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power cannot estimate the aggregate effect of such requirements on their results of operations, financial condition or their customers. However, such expenditures, if material, could make Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s generation facilities uneconomical to operate, result in the impairment of assets, or otherwise adversely affect Dominion Energy or Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial performance or liquidity.
There are also potential impacts on Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ natural gas businesses as federal or state GHG regulations may require GHG emission reductions from the natural gas sector which, in addition to resulting in increased costs, could affect demand for natural gas. Additionally, GHG requirements could result in increased demand for energy conservation and renewable products, which could impact the natural gas businesses.
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are subject to risks associated with the disposal and storage of coal ash.
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power historically produced and continue to produce coal ash, or CCRs, as a
by-product
of their coal-fired generation operations. The ash is stored and managed in impoundments (ash ponds) and landfills located at 11 different facilities, eight of which are at Virginia Power.
The EPA has issued regulations concerning the management and storage of CCRs, which Virginia has adopted. These CCR regulations require Dominion Energy and Virginia Power to make additional capital expenditures and increase operating and maintenance expenses. In addition, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power will incur expenses and other costs associated with closing, corrective action and ongoing monitoring of certain ash ponds. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power also may face litigation concerning their coal ash facilities.
Further, while Dominion Energy and Virginia Power operate their ash ponds and landfills in compliance with applicable state safety regulations, a release of coal ash with a significant environmental impact, such as the Dan River ash basin release by a neighboring utility, could result in remediation costs, civil and/or criminal penalties, claims, litigation, increased regulation and compliance costs, and reputational damage, and could impact the financial condition of Dominion Energy and/or Virginia Power.
Construction Risks
The Companies’ infrastructure build and expansion plans often require regulatory approval, including environmental permits, before commencing construction and completing projects. The

30 |  |  |  |  |  |

Companies may not complete facility construction, pipeline, conversion or other infrastructure projects that they commence, or they may complete projects on materially different terms, costs or timing than initially estimated or anticipated, and they may not be able to achieve the intended benefits of any such
project, if completed.
Several facility construction, pipeline, electric transmission line, expansion, conversion and other infrastructure projects have been announced and additional projects may be considered in the future. The Companies compete for projects with companies of varying size and financial capabilities, including some that may have competitive advantages. Commencing construction on announced and future projects may require approvals from applicable state and federal agencies, and such approvals could include mitigation costs which may be material to the Companies. Projects may not be able to be completed on time or in accordance with our estimated costs as a result of weather conditions, delays in obtaining or failure to obtain regulatory approvals, delays in obtaining key materials, labor difficulties, difficulties with partners or potential partners, a decline in the credit strength of counterparties or vendors, or other factors beyond the Companies’ control. For example, Atlantic Coast Pipeline has experienced certain delays in obtaining and maintaining permits necessary for construction along with construction delays due to judicial actions which has impacted the cost and schedule for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project. Even if facility construction, pipeline, expansion, electric transmission line, conversion and other infrastructure projects are completed, the total costs of the projects may be higher than anticipated and the performance of the business of the Companies following completion of the projects may not meet expectations.
Start-up
and operational issues can arise in connection with the commencement of commercial operations at our facilities. Such issues may include failure to meet specific operating parameters, which may require adjustments to meet or amend these operating parameters. Additionally, the Companies may not be able to timely and effectively integrate the projects into their operations and such integration may result in unforeseen operating difficulties or unanticipated costs. Further, regulators may disallow recovery of some of the costs of a project if they are deemed not to be prudently incurred. Any of these or other factors could adversely affect the Companies’ ability to realize the anticipated benefits from the facility construction, pipeline, electric transmission line, expansion, conversion and other infrastructure projects.
The development, construction and commissioning of several large-scale infrastructure projects simultaneously involves significant execution risk.
The Companies are currently simultaneously developing, constructing or commissioning several major projects, including the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project, the Supply Header project and the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. Several of the Companies’ key projects are increasingly large-scale, complex and being constructed in constrained geographic areas or in difficult terrain, for example, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project. The advancement of the Companies’ ventures is also affected by the interventions, litigation or other activities of stakeholder and advocacy groups, some of which oppose natural
gas-related
and energy infrastructure projects. For example, certain landowners and stakeholder groups oppose the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project, which could impede construction activities or the
acquisition of
rights-of-way
and other land rights on a timely basis or on acceptable terms. Given that these projects provide the foundation for the Companies’ strategic growth plan, if the Companies are unable to obtain or maintain the required approvals, develop the necessary technical expertise, allocate and coordinate sufficient resources, adhere to budgets and timelines, effectively handle public outreach efforts, or otherwise fail to successfully execute the projects, there could be an adverse impact to the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Failure to comply with regulatory approval conditions or an adverse ruling in any future litigation could adversely affect the Companies’ ability to execute their business plan.
The Companies are dependent on their contractors for the successful and timely completion of large-scale infrastructure projects. The construction of such projects is expected to take several years, is typically confined within a limited geographic area or difficult terrain and could be subject to delays, cost overruns, labor disputes and other factors that could cause the total cost of the project to exceed the anticipated amount and adversely affect the Companies’ financial performance and/or impair the Companies’ ability to execute the business plan for the project as scheduled.
Further, an inability to obtain financing or otherwise provide liquidity for the projects on acceptable terms could negatively affect the Companies’ financial condition, cash flows, the projects’ anticipated financial results and/or impair the Companies’ ability to execute the business plan for the projects as scheduled.
Operational Risks
The Companies’ financial performance and condition can be affected by changes in the weather, including the effects of global climate change.
Fluctuations in weather can affect demand for the Companies’ services. For example, milder than normal weather can reduce demand for electricity and gas transmission and distribution services. In addition, severe weather, including hurricanes, winter storms, earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters can stress systems, disrupt operation of the Companies’ facilities and cause service outages, production delays and property damage that require incurring additional expenses. Changes in weather conditions can result in reduced water levels or changes in water temperatures that could adversely affect operations at some of the Companies’ power stations. Furthermore, the Companies’ operations could be adversely affected and their physical plant placed at greater risk of damage should changes in global climate produce, among other possible conditions, unusual variations in temperature and weather patterns, resulting in more intense, frequent and extreme weather events, abnormal levels of precipitation and, for operations located on or near coastlines, a change in sea level or sea temperatures. Due to the location of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s electric utility service territories and a number of its other facilities in the eastern portions of the states of South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia which are frequently in the path of hurricanes, we experience the consequences of these weather events to a greater degree than many of our industry peers.
The Companies’ operations are subject to operational hazards, equipment failures, supply chain disruptions and personnel issues which could negatively affect the Companies.
Operation of the Companies’ facilities involves risk, including the risk of potential breakdown or failure of equipment or processes due to

31

aging infrastructure, fuel supply, pipeline integrity or transportation disruptions, accidents, labor disputes or work stoppages by employees, acts of terrorism or sabotage, construction delays or cost overruns, shortages of or delays in obtaining equipment, material and labor, operational restrictions resulting from environmental limitations and governmental interventions, changes to the environment and performance below expected levels. The Companies’ businesses are dependent upon sophisticated information technology systems and network infrastructure, the failure of which could prevent them from accomplishing critical business functions. Because the Companies’ transmission facilities, pipelines and other facilities are interconnected with those of third parties, the operation of their facilities and pipelines could be adversely affected by unexpected or uncontrollable events occurring on the systems of such third parties.
Operation of the Companies’ facilities below expected capacity levels could result in lost revenues and increased expenses, including higher maintenance costs. Unplanned outages of the Companies’ facilities and extensions of scheduled outages due to mechanical failures or other problems occur from time to time and are an inherent risk of the Companies’ business. Unplanned outages typically increase the Companies’ operation and maintenance expenses and may reduce their revenues as a result of selling less output or may require the Companies to incur significant costs as a result of operating higher cost units or obtaining replacement output from third parties in the open market to satisfy forward energy and capacity or other contractual obligations. Moreover, if the Companies are unable to perform their contractual obligations, penalties or liability for damages could result.
In addition, there are many risks associated with the Companies’ operations and the transportation, storage and processing of natural gas and NGLs, including nuclear accidents, fires, explosions, uncontrolled release of natural gas and other environmental hazards, pole strikes, electric contact cases, the collision of third party equipment with pipelines and avian and other wildlife impacts. Such incidents could result in loss of human life or injuries among employees, customers or the public in general, environmental pollution, damage or destruction of facilities or business interruptions and associated public or employee safety impacts, loss of revenues, increased liabilities, heightened regulatory scrutiny and reputational risk. Further, the location of pipelines and storage facilities, or generation, transmission, substations and distribution facilities near populated areas, including residential areas, commercial business centers and industrial sites, could increase the level of damages resulting from these risks.
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas conduct certain operations through partnership arrangements involving third-party investors that may limit our operational flexibility.
Certain operations are conducted through partnership arrangements, such as Atlantic Coast Pipeline and Iroquois, to which Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas have significant influence but do not control the operations of such entities. Accordingly, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas may have limited ability to influence, as they do not control, certain day to day activities affecting the operations and do not have unilateral control over decisions that may have a material financial impact on the partnership participants. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas also conduct
certain operations through entities, such as Cove Point and the owners of certain contracted generation solar facilities, to which Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas maintain a controlling interest, but third-party investors hold certain protective rights. These rights may impact the ability of Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas to make certain decisions, such as the retention or distribution of available cash, significant acquisitions or dispositions of assets or the ability to sell or transfer their ownership interests. In each case such partnership arrangements operate in accordance with their respective governance documents, and Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are dependent upon third parties satisfying their respective obligations, including, as applicable, funding of their required share of capital expenditures. Such third-party investors have their own interests and objectives which may differ from those of Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas and, accordingly, disputes may arise amongst the owners of such partnership arrangements that may result in delays, litigation or operational impasses.
The Companies’ financial results can be adversely affected by various factors driving supply and demand for electricity and gas and related services.
Technological advances required by federal laws mandate new levels of energy efficiency in
end-use
devices, including lighting, furnaces and electric heat pumps and could lead to declines in per capita energy consumption. Additionally, certain regulatory and legislative bodies have introduced or are considering requirements and/or incentives to reduce energy consumption by a fixed date. Further, Virginia Power’s business model is premised upon the cost efficiency of the production, transmission and distribution of large-scale centralized utility generation. However, advances in distributed generation technologies, such as solar cells, gas microturbines, battery storage and fuel cells, may make these alternative generation methods competitive with large-scale utility generation, and change how customers acquire or use our services. Virginia Power has an exclusive franchise to serve retail electric customers in Virginia. However, Virginia’s Retail Access Statutes allow certain electric generation customers exceptions to this franchise. As market conditions change, Virginia Power’s customers may further pursue exceptions and Virginia Power’s exclusive franchise may erode.
Reduced energy demand or significantly slowed growth in demand due to customer adoption of energy efficient technology, conservation, distributed generation, regional economic conditions, or the impact of additional compliance obligations, unless substantially offset through regulatory cost allocations, could adversely impact the value of the Companies’ business activities.
The Companies may be materially adversely affected by negative publicity.
From time to time, political and public sentiment in connection with significant transactions and infrastructure projects, such as the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, the SCANA Merger and the abandonment of the NND Project, may result in a significant amount of adverse press coverage and other adverse public statements affecting the Companies. Additionally, any failure by the Companies to realize voluntary targets set with respect to the reduction of GHG emissions or other long-term goals could lead to adverse press coverage and other adverse public statements affecting the Companies. Adverse press coverage and other adverse statements, whether or not driven by political or public sentiment, may also result in investigations by regulators, legislators and law enforcement officials or in legal claims.

32 |  |  |  |  |  |

Addressing any adverse publicity, governmental scrutiny or enforcement or other legal proceedings is time consuming and expensive and, regardless of the factual basis for the assertions being made, can have a negative impact on the reputation of the Companies, on the morale and performance of their employees and on their relationships with their respective regulators, customers and commercial counterparties. It may also have a negative impact on the Companies’ ability to take timely advantage of various business and market opportunities. The direct and indirect effects of negative publicity, and the demands of responding to and addressing it, may have a material adverse effect on the Companies’ business, financial condition and results of operations.
Dominion Energy’s merchant generation business operates in a challenging market, which could adversely affect its results of operations and future growth.
The success of Dominion Energy’s contracted generation business depends upon favorable market conditions including the ability to sell power at prices sufficient to cover its operating costs. Dominion Energy operates in active wholesale markets that expose it to price volatility for electricity and nuclear fuel as well as the credit risk of counterparties. Dominion Energy attempts to manage its price risk by entering into long-term power purchase agreements with customers as well as hedging transactions, including short-term and long-term fixed price sales and purchase contracts.
In these wholesale markets, the spot market price of electricity for each hour is generally determined by the cost of supplying the next unit of electricity to the market during that hour. In many cases, the next unit of electricity supplied would be provided by generating stations that consume fossil fuels, primarily natural gas. Consequently, the open market wholesale price for electricity generally reflects the cost of natural gas plus the cost to convert the fuel to electricity. Therefore, changes in the price of natural gas generally affect the open market wholesale price of electricity. To the extent Dominion Energy does not enter into long-term power purchase agreements or otherwise effectively hedge its output, these changes in market prices could adversely affect its financial results.
Dominion Energy purchases nuclear fuel primarily under long-term contracts. Dominion Energy is exposed to nuclear fuel cost volatility for the portion of its nuclear fuel obtained through short-term contracts or on the spot market, including as a result of market supply shortages. Nuclear fuel prices can be volatile and the price that can be obtained for power produced may not change at the same rate as nuclear fuel costs, thus adversely impacting Dominion Energy’s financial results. In addition, in the event that any of the contracted generation facilities experience a forced outage, Dominion Energy may not receive the level of revenue it anticipated.
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas may not be able to maintain, renew or replace their existing portfolio of customer contracts successfully, or on favorable terms.
Upon contract expiration, customers may not elect to
re-contract
with Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas as a result of a variety of factors, including the amount of competition in the industry, changes in the price of electricity or natural gas, their level of satisfaction with Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ services, the extent to which Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are able to successfully execute their business plans and the effect of the regulatory framework on customer demand. The failure to replace any such customer contracts on
similar terms or with counterparties with similar credit profiles could result in a loss of revenue for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas and related decreases in their earnings and cash flows.
Certain of Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ gas pipeline services are subject to long-term, fixed-price “negotiated rate” contracts that are not subject to adjustment, even if the cost to perform such services exceeds the revenues received from such contracts.
Under FERC policy, a regulated service provider and a customer may mutually agree to sign a contract for service at a “negotiated rate” which may be above or below the FERC regulated, cost-based recourse rate for that service. These “negotiated rate” contracts are not generally subject to adjustment for increased costs which could be produced by inflation or other factors relating to the specific facilities being used to perform the services. Any shortfall of revenue as a result of these “negotiated rate” contracts could decrease Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ earnings and cash flows.
Hostile cyber intrusions could severely impair the Companies’ operations, lead to the disclosure of confidential information, damage the reputation of the Companies and otherwise have an adverse effect on the Companies’ business.
The Companies own assets deemed as critical infrastructure, the operation of which is dependent on information technology systems. Further, the computer systems that run the Companies’ facilities are not completely isolated from external networks. There appears to be an increasing level of activity, sophistication and maturity of threat actors, in particular nation state actors, that wish to disrupt the U.S. bulk power system and the U.S. gas transmission or distribution system. Such parties could view the Companies’ computer systems, software or networks as attractive targets for cyber attack. For example, malware has been designed to target software that runs the nation’s critical infrastructure such as power transmission grids and gas pipelines. In addition, the Companies’ businesses require that they and their vendors collect and maintain sensitive customer data, as well as confidential employee and shareholder information, which is subject to electronic theft or loss.
A successful cyber attack on the systems that control the Companies’ electric generation, electric or gas transmission or distribution assets could severely disrupt business operations, preventing the Companies from serving customers or collecting revenues. The breach of certain business systems could affect the Companies’ ability to correctly record, process and report financial information. A major cyber incident could result in significant expenses to investigate and repair security breaches or system damage and could lead to litigation, fines, other remedial action, heightened regulatory scrutiny and damage to the Companies’ reputation. In addition, the misappropriation, corruption or loss of personally identifiable information and other confidential data at the Companies or one of their vendors could lead to significant breach notification expenses and mitigation expenses such as credit monitoring. If a significant breach were to occur, the reputation of the Companies also could be adversely affected. While the Companies maintain property and casualty insurance, along with other contractual provisions, that may cover certain damage caused by potential cyber incidents, all damage and claims arising from such incidents may not be covered or may exceed the amount of any insurance available. For these reasons, a significant cyber incident could materially and adversely affect the Companies’ business, financial condition and results of operations.

33

War, acts and threats of terrorism, intentional acts and other significant events could adversely affect the Companies’ operations.
The Companies cannot predict the impact that any future terrorist attacks or retaliatory military or other action may have on the energy industry in general or on the Companies’ businesses in particular. Any such future attacks or retaliatory action may adversely affect the Companies’ operations in a variety of ways, including by disrupting the power, fuel and other markets in which the Companies operate or requiring the implementation of additional, more costly security guidelines and measures. The Companies’ infrastructure facilities, including nuclear facilities and projects under construction, could be direct targets or indirect casualties of an act of terror or other physical attack. Any physical compromise of the Companies’ facilities could adversely affect the Companies’ ability to generate, purchase, transmit or distribute electricity, store, transmit or distribute natural gas, store or export LNG or otherwise operate their respective facilities in the most efficient manner or at all. In addition, the amount and scope of insurance coverage maintained against losses resulting from any such attack may not be sufficient to cover such losses or otherwise adequately compensate for any business disruptions that could result.
Instability in financial markets as a result of terrorism, war, intentional acts, pandemic, credit crises, recession or other factors could result in a significant decline in the U.S. economy and/or increase the cost or limit the availability of insurance or adversely impact the Companies’ ability to access capital on acceptable terms.
Failure to attract and retain key executive officers and an appropriately qualified workforce could have an adverse effect on the Companies’ operations.
The Companies’ business strategy is dependent on their ability to recruit, retain and motivate employees. The Companies’ key executive officers are the CEO, CFO,
Co-COOs
and presidents and those responsible for financial, operational, legal, regulatory and accounting functions. Competition for skilled management employees in these areas of the Companies’ business operations is high. Certain events, such as an aging workforce, mismatch of skill set, or unavailability of contract resources may lead to operating challenges and increased costs. The challenges include lack of resources, loss of knowledge base and the length of time required for skill development. In this case, costs, including costs for contractors to replace employees, productivity costs and safety costs, may rise. Failure to hire and adequately train replacement employees, including the transfer of significant internal historical knowledge and expertise to new employees, or future availability and cost of contract labor may adversely affect the ability to manage and operate the Companies’ business. In addition, certain specialized knowledge is required of the Companies’ technical employees for construction and operation of transmission, generation and distribution assets. The Companies’ inability to attract and retain these employees could adversely affect their business and future operating results.
Dominion Energy may be unable to successfully integrate SCANA’s businesses. Dominion Energy is devoting significant resources to integrating SCANA’s businesses.
While Dominion Energy has assumed that a certain level of transaction and integration expenses will be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond its control that could affect the total amount or the timing of its integration expenses. Potential complexities associated with integrating SCANA, including its utility businesses, while at the same time continuing to provide consistent, high quality services
and with integrating a company with different markets and customers could arise. Due to the complexities involved in integrating SCANA and its different markets and customers, it is possible that the process could result in the disruption of Dominion Energy’s ongoing business or inconsistencies in its services, standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect the ability of Dominion Energy to maintain or establish relationships with current and prospective customers, vendors and employees or could otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of Dominion Energy.
Nuclear Generation Risks
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have substantial ownership interests in and operate nuclear generating units; as a result, each may incur substantial costs and liabilities.
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear facilities are subject to operational, environmental, health and financial risks such as the
on-site
storage of spent nuclear fuel, the ability to dispose of such spent nuclear fuel, the ability to maintain adequate reserves for decommissioning, limitations on the amounts and types of insurance available, potential operational liabilities and extended outages, the costs of replacement power, the costs of maintenance and the costs of securing the facilities against possible terrorist attacks. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power maintain decommissioning trusts and external insurance coverage to minimize the financial exposure to these risks; however, it is possible that future decommissioning costs could exceed amounts in the decommissioning trusts and/or damages could exceed the amount of insurance coverage. If Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s decommissioning trust funds are insufficient, and they are not allowed to recover the additional costs incurred through insurance or regulatory mechanisms, their results of operations could be negatively impacted.
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear facilities are also subject to complex government regulation which could negatively impact their results of operations. The NRC has broad authority under federal law to impose licensing and safety-related requirements for the operation of nuclear generating facilities. In the event of noncompliance, the NRC has the authority to impose fines, set license conditions, shut down a nuclear unit, or take some combination of these actions, depending on its assessment of the severity of the situation, until compliance is achieved. Revised safety requirements promulgated by the NRC could require Dominion Energy and Virginia Power to make substantial expenditures at their nuclear plants. In addition, although the Companies have no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear incident at their plants, if an incident did occur, it could materially and adversely affect their results of operations and/or financial condition. A major incident at a nuclear facility anywhere in the world, such as the nuclear events in Japan in 2011, could cause the NRC to adopt increased safety regulations or otherwise limit or restrict the operation or licensing of domestic nuclear units.
Financial, Economic and Market Risks
Exposure to counterparty performance may adversely affect the Companies’ financial results of operations.
The Companies are exposed to credit risks of their counterparties and the risk that one or more counterparties may fail or delay the performance of their contractual obligations, including but not limited to payment

34 |  |  |  |  |  |

for services. Some of Dominion Energy’s and Dominion Energy Gas’ operations are conducted through partnership arrangements, as noted above. Counterparties could fail or delay the performance of their contractual obligations for a number of reasons, including the effect of regulations on their operations. Defaults or failure to perform by customers, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners, financial institutions or other third parties may adversely affect the Companies’ financial results.
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are exposed to counterparty credit risk relating to Cove Point’s terminal services agreements for the Liquefaction Facility. While the counterparties’ obligations are supported by parental guarantees and letters of credit, there is no assurance that such credit support would be sufficient to satisfy the obligations in the event of a counterparty default. In addition, if a controversy arises under either agreement resulting in a judgment in Cove Point’s favor, Cove Point may need to seek to enforce a final U.S. court judgment in a foreign tribunal, which could involve a lengthy process.
Changing rating agency requirements could negatively affect the Companies’ growth and business strategy.
In order to maintain appropriate credit ratings to obtain needed credit at a reasonable cost in light of existing or future rating agency requirements, the Companies may find it necessary to take steps or change their business plans in ways that may adversely affect their growth and earnings. A reduction in the Companies’ credit ratings could result in an increase in borrowing costs, loss of access to certain markets, or both, thus adversely affecting operating results and could require the Companies to post additional collateral in connection with some of its price risk management activities.
An inability to access financial markets and, in the case of Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas, obtain cash from subsidiaries could adversely affect the execution of the Companies’ business plans.
The Companies rely on access to short-term money markets and longer-term capital markets as significant sources of funding and liquidity for business plans with increasing capital expenditure needs, normal working capital and collateral requirements related to hedges of future sales and purchases of energy-related commodities. Deterioration in the Companies’ creditworthiness, as evaluated by credit rating agencies or otherwise, or declines in market reputation either for the Companies or their industry in general, or general financial market disruptions outside of the Companies’ control could increase their cost of borrowing or restrict their ability to access one or more financial markets. Market disruptions could stem from general market disruption due to general credit market or political events, the planned phase out of LIBOR by the end of 2021 or reform or replacement of other benchmark rates, the failure of financial institutions on which the Companies rely or the bankruptcy of an unrelated company. Increased costs and restrictions on the Companies’ ability to access financial markets may be severe enough to affect their ability to execute their business plans as scheduled.
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are holding companies that conduct all of their operations through their respective subsidiaries. Accordingly, each entity’s ability to execute its business plan is further subject to the earnings and cash flows of its subsidiaries and the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends or advance or repay funds to it, which may, from time to time, be subject to certain contractual restrictions or restrictions imposed by regulators.
Market performance, interest rates and other changes may decrease the value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s decommissioning trust funds and Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ benefit plan assets or increase Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ liabilities, which could then require significant additional funding.
The performance of the capital markets affects the value of the assets that are held in trusts to satisfy future obligations to decommission Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear plants and under Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The Companies have significant obligations in these areas and hold significant assets in these trusts. These assets are subject to market fluctuation and will yield uncertain returns, which may fall below expected return rates.
With respect to decommissioning trust funds, a decline in the market value of these assets may increase the funding requirements of the obligations to decommission Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear plants or require additional NRC-approved funding assurance.
A decline in the market value of the assets held in trusts to satisfy future obligations under Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans may increase the funding requirements under such plans. Additionally, changes in interest rates will affect the liabilities under Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans; as interest rates decrease, the liabilities increase, potentially requiring additional funding. Further, changes in demographics, including increased numbers of retirements or changes in mortality assumptions, may also increase the funding requirements of the obligations related to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans.
If the decommissioning trust funds and benefit plan assets are negatively impacted by market fluctuations or other factors, the Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows could be negatively affected.
The use of derivative instruments could result in financial losses and liquidity constraints.
The Companies use derivative instruments, including futures, swaps, forwards, options and FTRs, to manage commodity, currency and financial market risks. In addition, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas purchase and sell commodity-based contracts for hedging purposes.
The Dodd-Frank Act was enacted into law in July 2010 in an effort to improve regulation of financial markets. The CEA, as amended by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, requires certain
over-the-counter
derivatives, or swaps, to be cleared through a derivatives clearing organization and, if the swap is subject to a clearing requirement, to be executed on a designated contract market or swap execution facility.
Non-financial
entities that use swaps to hedge or mitigate commercial risk, often referred to as end users, may elect the
end-user
exception to the CEA’s clearing requirements. The Companies have elected to exempt their swaps from the CEA’s clearing requirements. If, as a result of changes to the rulemaking process, the Companies’ derivative activities are not exempted from the clearing, exchange trading or margin requirements, the Companies could be subject to higher costs due to decreased market liquidity or increased margin payments. In addition, the Companies’ swap dealer counterparties may attempt to pass-through additional trading costs in connection with changes to or the elimination of rulemaking that implements Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act.

35

Future impairments of goodwill or other intangible assets or long-lived assets may have a material adverse effect on the Companies’ results.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if an event or circumstance occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Other intangible assets and long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. If Dominion Energy or Dominion Energy Gas’ goodwill, including the goodwill recorded by Dominion Energy in connection with the
SCANA Combination and the Dominion Energy Questar Combination, or the Companies’ other intangible assets or long-lived assets are in the future determined to be impaired, the applicable Company may be required during the period in which the impairment is determined to record a noncash charge to earnings that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results.

Item 2. Properties
As of December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy owned its principal executive office in Richmond, Virginia and five other corporate offices. Dominion Energy also leases corporate offices in Richmond, Virginia and other cities in which its subsidiaries operate. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas share Dominion Energy’s principal office in Richmond, Virginia, which is owned by Dominion Energy. In addition, Virginia Power leases certain buildings and equipment.
Dominion Energy’s assets consist primarily of its investments in its subsidiaries, the principal properties of which are described below.
Certain of Virginia Power’s properties are subject to the lien of the Indenture of Mortgage securing its First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds. There were no bonds outstanding as of December 31, 2019; however, by leaving the indenture open, Virginia Power expects to retain the flexibility to issue mortgage bonds in the future. Certain of Dominion Energy’s merchant generation facilities are also subject to liens. Additionally, DESC’s bond indenture, which secures its First Mortgage Bonds, constitutes a direct mortgage lien on substantially all of its electric utility property.
Dominion Energy Virginia
Virginia Power has approximately 6,700 miles of electric transmission lines of 69 kV or more located in North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. Portions of Virginia Power’s electric transmission lines cross national parks and forests under permits entitling the federal government to use, at specified charges, any surplus capacity that may exist in these lines. While Virginia Power owns and maintains its electric transmission facilities, they are a part of PJM, which coordinates the planning, operation, emergency assistance and exchange of capacity and energy for such facilities.
In addition, Virginia Power’s electric distribution network includes approximately 58,400 miles of distribution lines, exclusive of service level lines, in Virginia and North Carolina. The grants for most of its electric lines contain
rights-of-way
that have been obtained from the apparent owners of real estate, but underlying titles have not been examined. Where
rights-of-way
have not been obtained, they could be acquired from private owners by condemnation, if necessary. Many electric lines are on publicly-owned property, where permission to operate can be revoked. In addition, Virginia Power owns 471 substations.
The following tables list Virginia Power’s generating units and capability as of December 31, 2019.

Gas Transmission & Storage
Dominion Energy Gas has approximately 7,900 miles, excluding interests held by others, of gas transmission, gathering and storage pipelines located in the states of Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.
Cove Point’s LNG Facility has an operational peak regasification daily
send-out
capacity of approximately 1.8 million Dths and an aggregate LNG storage capacity of approximately 14.6 bcfe. In addition, Cove Point has a small liquefier that has the potential to create approximately 15,000 Dths/day. The Liquefaction Facility consists of one LNG train with a nameplate outlet capacity of 5.25 Mtpa. Cove Point has authorization from the DOE to export up to 0.77 Bcfe/day (approximately 5.75 Mtpa) should the Liquefaction Facility perform better than expected.
The total designed capacity of the underground storage fields operated by Dominion Energy Gas is approximately 900 bcf. Certain storage fields are jointly-owned and operated by Dominion Energy Gas. The capacity of those fields owned by Dominion Energy Gas’ partners totals approximately 240 bcf.
In total, Dominion Energy Gas has 111 compressor stations with approximately 1,200,000 installed compressor horsepower.
In addition to the pipeline network owned by Dominion Energy Gas, Dominion Energy has approximately 2,500 miles of gas transmission, gathering and storage pipelines located in the states of West Virginia, Ohio, Arizona and Pennsylvania.
Gas Distribution
Gas Distribution’s network is located in the states of Idaho, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. This network includes approximately 3,700 miles of transmission pipeline and approximately 85,000 miles of distribution mains and related service facilities. The
right-of-way
grants for many natural gas pipelines have been obtained from the actual owners of real
estate, as underlying titles have been examined. Where
rights-of-way
have not been obtained, they could be acquired from private owners by condemnation, if necessary. Many natural gas pipelines are on publicly-owned property, where company rights and actions are determined on a
case-by-case
basis, with results that range from reimbursed relocation to revocation of permission to operate.
PSNC owns one LNG facility that stores the liquefied equivalent of 1.0 bcf of natural gas, can regasify approximately 10% of its storage capacity per day and can liquefy less than 1% of its storage capacity per day.
Dominion Energy South Carolina
DESC has approximately 3,700 miles and 26,600 miles of electric transmission and distribution lines, respectively, exclusive of service level lines, in South Carolina. The grants for most of DESC’s electric lines contain
rights-of-way
that have been obtained from the apparent owners of real estate, but underlying property titles have not been examined. Where
rights-of-way
have not been obtained, they could be acquired from private owners by condemnation, if necessary. Many electric lines are on publicly-owned property, where permission to operate can be revoked. In addition, DESC owns 439 substations.
DESC’s natural gas system includes approximately 500 miles of transmission pipeline and approximately 18,400 miles of distribution mains and related service facilities.
DESC owns two LNG facilities, one located near Charleston, South Carolina, and the other in Salley, South Carolina. The Charleston facility can store the liquefied equivalent of 1.0 bcf of natural gas, can regasify approximately 6% of its storage capacity per day and can liquefy less than 1% of its storage capacity per day. The Salley facility can store the liquefied equivalent of 0.9 bcf of natural gas and can regasify approximately 10% of its storage capacity per day. The Salley facility has no liquefying capabilities.

Accounting Matters
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Dominion Energy has identified the following accounting policies, including certain inherent estimates, that as a result of the judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved, could result in material changes to its financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions. Dominion Energy has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of each of these policies with the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors.
Accounting for Regulated Operations
The accounting for Dominion Energy’s regulated electric and gas operations differs from the accounting for nonregulated operations in that Dominion Energy is required to reflect the effect of rate regulation in its Consolidated Financial Statements. For regulated businesses subject to federal or state
cost-of-service
rate regulation, regulatory practices that assign costs to accounting periods may differ from accounting methods generally applied by nonregulated companies. When it is probable that regulators will permit the recovery of current costs through future rates charged to customers, these costs that otherwise would be expensed by nonregulated companies are deferred as regulatory assets. Likewise, regulatory liabilities are recognized when it is probable that regulators will require customer refunds through future rates or when revenue is collected from customers for expenditures that have yet to be incurred.
Dominion Energy evaluates whether or not recovery of its regulatory assets through future rates is probable as well as whether a regulatory liability due to customers is probable and makes various assumptions in its analyses. These analyses are generally based on:

| • | Orders issued by regulatory commissions, legislation and judicial actions;

| • | Past experience;

| • | Discussions with applicable regulatory authorities and legal counsel;

| • | Forecasted earnings; and

| • | Considerations around the likelihood of impacts from events such as unusual weather conditions, extreme weather events and other natural disasters and unplanned outages of facilities.

If recovery of a regulatory asset is determined to be less than probable, it will be written off in the period such assessment is made. A regulatory liability, if considered probable, will be recorded in the period such assessment is made or reversed into earnings if no longer probable. See Notes 12 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Dominion Energy recognizes liabilities for the expected cost of retiring tangible long-lived assets for which a legal obligation exists and the ARO can be reasonably estimated. These AROs are recognized at fair value as incurred or when sufficient information becomes available to determine fair value and are generally capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived assets. In the

47

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
absence of quoted market prices, Dominion Energy estimates the fair value of its AROs using present value techniques, in which it makes various assumptions including estimates of the amounts and timing of future cash flows associated with retirement activities, credit-adjusted risk free rates and cost escalation rates. The impact on measurements of new AROs or remeasurements of existing AROs, using different cost escalation or credit-adjusted risk free rates in the future, may be significant. When Dominion Energy revises any assumptions used to calculate the fair value of existing AROs, it adjusts the carrying amount of both the ARO liability and the related long-lived asset for assets that are in service; for assets that have ceased operations, Dominion Energy adjusts the carrying amount of the ARO liability with such changes recognized in income.
Dominion Energy’s AROs include a significant balance related to the future decommissioning of its merchant and utility nuclear facilities. These nuclear decommissioning AROs are reported in Dominion Energy Virginia, Dominion Energy South Carolina and Contracted Generation. At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy’s nuclear decommissioning AROs totaled $1.7 billion. The following discusses critical assumptions inherent in determining the fair value of AROs associated with Dominion Energy’s nuclear decommissioning obligations.
Dominion Energy obtains from third-party specialists periodic site-specific base year cost studies in order to estimate the nature, cost and timing of planned decommissioning activities for its nuclear plants. These cost studies are based on relevant information available at the time they are performed; however, estimates of future cash flows for extended periods of time are by nature highly uncertain and may vary significantly from actual results. These cash flows include estimates on timing of decommissioning, which for regulated nuclear units factors in the probability of NRC approval for license extensions. In addition, Dominion Energy’s cost estimates include cost escalation rates that are applied to the base year costs. Dominion Energy determines cost escalation rates, which represent projected cost increases over time due to both general inflation and increases in the cost of specific decommissioning activities, for each nuclear facility. The selection of these cost escalation rates is dependent on subjective factors which are considered to be critical assumptions.
Income Taxes
Judgment and the use of estimates are required in developing the provision for income taxes and reporting of
tax-related
assets and liabilities. The interpretation of tax laws, including the provisions of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, involves uncertainty, since tax authorities may interpret the laws differently. In addition, the states in which the Companies operate may or may not conform to some or all the provisions in the 2017 Tax Reform Act. Ultimate resolution or clarification of income tax matters may result in favorable or unfavorable impacts to net income and cash flows, and adjustments to
tax-related
assets and liabilities could be material.
Given the uncertainty and judgment involved in the determination and filing of income taxes, there are standards for recognition and measurement in financial statements of positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity in its income tax returns. Positions taken by an entity in its income tax returns that are recognized in the financial statements must satisfy a more-likely-
than-not
recognition threshold, assuming that the position will be examined by tax authorities with full knowledge of all relevant information. At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had $175 million of unrecognized tax benefits. Changes in these unrecognized tax benefits may result from remeasurement of amounts expected to be realized, settlements with tax authorities and expiration of statutes of limitations.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded representing future effects on income taxes for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Dominion Energy evaluates quarterly the probability of realizing deferred tax assets by considering current and historical financial results, expectations for future taxable income and the availability of tax planning strategies that can be implemented, if necessary, to realize deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income or successfully implement tax planning strategies may affect the realization of deferred tax assets. Dominion Energy establishes a valuation allowance when it is
more-likely-than-not
that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had established $161 million of valuation allowances.
The 2017 Tax Reform Act included a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting the Companies, including changes in corporate tax rates and business deductions. Many of these provisions differ significantly from prior U.S. tax law, resulting in pervasive financial reporting implications for the Companies. The 2017 Tax Reform Act included significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, including amendments which significantly change the taxation of individuals and business entities and included specific provisions related to regulated public utilities. The more significant changes that impact the Companies included in the 2017 Tax Reform Act are (i) reducing the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%; (ii) effective in 2018, limiting the deductibility of interest expense to 30% of adjusted taxable income for certain businesses with any disallowed interest allowed to be carried forward indefinitely; (iii) permitting 100% expensing (100% bonus depreciation) for certain qualified property; (iv) eliminating the deduction for qualified domestic production activities; and (v) limiting the utilization of net operating losses arising after December 31, 2017 to 80% of taxable income with an indefinite carryforward. The specific provisions related to regulated public utilities in the 2017 Tax Reform Act generally allow for the continued deductibility of interest expense, the exclusion from full expensing for tax purposes of certain property acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017 and continued certain rate normalization requirements for accelerated depreciation benefits.
At the date of enactment, the Companies’ deferred taxes were remeasured based upon the new tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are realized or settled. For regulated operations, many of the changes in deferred taxes represented amounts probable of collection from or refund to customers, and were recorded as either an increase to a regulatory asset or liability. The 2017 Tax Reform Act included provisions that stipulate how these excess deferred taxes may be passed back to customers for certain accelerated tax depreciation benefits. Potential refunds of other deferred taxes will be determined by the Companies’ regulators. For nonregulated operations, the changes in deferred taxes were recorded as an adjustment to deferred tax expense.

Accounting for Derivative Contracts and Financial Instruments at Fair Value
Dominion Energy uses derivative contracts such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of its business operations. Derivative contracts, with certain exceptions, are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The majority of investments held in Dominion Energy’s nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trusts and pension and other postretirement funds are also subject to fair value accounting. See Notes 6 and 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these fair value measurements.
Fair value is based on actively-quoted market prices, if available. In the absence of actively-quoted market prices, management seeks indicative price information from external sources, including broker quotes and industry publications. When evaluating pricing information provided by brokers and other pricing services, Dominion Energy considers whether the broker is willing and able to trade at the quoted price, if the broker quotes are based on an active market or an inactive market and the extent to which brokers are utilizing a particular model if pricing is not readily available. If pricing information from external sources is not available, or if Dominion Energy believes that observable pricing information is not indicative of fair value, judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. In those cases, Dominion Energy must estimate prices based on available historical and near-term future price information and use of statistical methods, including regression analysis, that reflect its market assumptions.
Dominion Energy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Use of Estimates in Goodwill Impairment Testing
As of December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy reported $8.9 billion of goodwill in its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The majority of the balance relates to the SCANA Combination, as discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Dominion Energy Questar Combination in 2016 and the acquisition of the former CNG in 2000.
In April of each year, Dominion Energy tests its goodwill for potential impairment, and performs additional tests more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change in the interim that would
more-likely-than-not
reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2019, Dominion Energy performed impairment tests immediately before and after the realignment of its operating segments. The 2019, 2018 and 2017 annual tests and any interim tests did not result in the recognition of any goodwill impairment.
In general, Dominion Energy estimates the fair value of its reporting units by using a combination of discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques that use multiples of earnings for peer group companies and analyses of recent business combinations involving peer group companies. Fair value estimates are dependent on subjective factors such as Dominion Energy’s estimate of future cash flows, the selection of appropriate discount and growth rates, and the selection of peer group companies and recent transactions. These underlying assumptions and estimates
are made as of a point in time; subsequent modifications, particularly changes in discount rates or growth rates inherent in Dominion Energy’s estimates of future cash flows, could result in a future impairment of goodwill. Although Dominion Energy has consistently applied the same methods in developing the assumptions and estimates that underlie the fair value calculations, such as estimates of future cash flows, and based those estimates on relevant information available at the time, such cash flow estimates are highly uncertain by nature and may vary significantly from actual results. If the estimates of future cash flows used in the most recent tests had been 10% lower, the resulting fair values would have still been greater than the carrying values of each of those reporting units tested, indicating that no impairment was present.
See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Use of Estimates in Long-lived Asset and Equity Method Investment Impairment Testing
Impairment testing for an individual or group of long-lived assets, including intangible assets with definite lives, and equity method investments is required when circumstances indicate those assets may be impaired. When a long-lived asset’s carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted estimated future cash flows associated with the asset, the asset is considered impaired to the extent that the asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. When an equity method investment’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, and the decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. Performing an impairment test on long-lived assets and equity method investments involves judgment in areas such as identifying if circumstances indicate an impairment may exist, identifying and grouping affected assets in the case of long-lived assets, and developing the undiscounted and discounted estimated future cash flows (used to estimate fair value in the absence of a market-based value) associated with the asset, including probability weighting such cash flows to reflect expectations about possible variations in their amounts or timing, expectations about the operations of the long-lived assets and equity method investments and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. When determining whether a long-lived asset or asset group has been impaired, management groups assets at the lowest level that has identifiable cash flows. Although cash flow estimates are based on relevant information available at the time the estimates are made, estimates of future cash flows are, by nature, highly uncertain and may vary significantly from actual results. For example, estimates of future cash flows would contemplate factors which may change over time, such as the expected use of the asset or underlying assets of equity method investees, including future production and sales levels, expected fluctuations of prices of commodities sold and consumed and expected proceeds from dispositions. See Notes 6 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of impairments related to certain long-lived assets and equity method investments.

Coast Pipeline Project. As a result, Dominion Energy evaluated the carrying amount of its equity method investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline for an other-than-temporary impairment and determined that it was not impaired. Any significant changes affecting the discounted cash flow estimates associated with the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project, such as future unfavorable judicial or regulatory actions resulting in further construction and
in-service
delays along with an increase in construction costs, could result in an impairment charge.
Employee Benefit Plans
Dominion Energy sponsors noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans for eligible active employees, retirees and qualifying dependents. The projected costs of providing benefits under these plans are dependent, in part, on historical information such as employee demographics, the level of contributions made to the plans and earnings on plan assets. Assumptions about the future, including the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, discount rates applied to benefit obligations, mortality rates and the anticipated rate of increase in healthcare costs and participant compensation, also have a significant impact on employee benefit costs. The impact of changes in these factors, as well as differences between Dominion Energy’s assumptions and actual experience, is generally recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income over the remaining average service period of plan participants, rather than immediately.
The expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates, healthcare cost trend rates and mortality rates are critical assumptions. Dominion Energy determines the expected long-term rates of return on plan assets for pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans by using a combination of:

• | Expected inflation and risk-free interest rate assumptions;

• | Historical return analysis to determine long-term historic returns as well as historic risk premiums for various asset classes;

• | Expected future risk premiums, asset classes’ volatilities and correlations;

• | Forward-looking return expectations derived from the yield on long-term bonds and the expected long-term returns of major capital market assumptions; and

• | Investment allocation of plan assets. The strategic target asset allocation for Dominion Energy’s pension funds is 28% U.S. equity, 18% non-U.S. equity, 35% fixed income, 3% real estate and 16% other alternative investments, such as private equity investments.

Strategic investment policies are established for Dominion Energy’s prefunded benefit plans based upon periodic asset/liability studies. Factors considered in setting the investment policy include those mentioned above such as employee demographics, liability growth rates, future discount rates, the funded status of the plans and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Deviations from the plans’ strategic allocation are a function of Dominion Energy’s assessments regarding short-term risk and reward opportunities in the capital markets and/or short-term market movements which result in the plans’ actual asset allocations varying from the strategic target asset allocations. Through periodic rebalancing, actual allocations are brought back in line with the targets. Future asset/liability studies will focus on strategies to further reduce pension and other postretirement plan risk, while still achieving attractive levels of returns.
Dominion Energy develops
non-investment
related assumptions, which are then compared to the forecasts of an independent investment advisor to ensure reasonableness. An internal committee selects the final assumptions. Dominion Energy calculated its pension cost using an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption that ranged from 7.00% to 8.65% for 2019 and 8.75% for 2018 and 2017. For 2020, the expected long-term rate of return for the pension cost assumption ranged from 7.00% to 8.60% for Dominion Energy’s plans held as of December 31, 2019. Dominion Energy calculated its other postretirement benefit cost using an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption of 8.50% for 2019, 2018 and 2017. For 2020, the expected long-term rate of return for other postretirement benefit cost assumption is 8.50%. The rate used in calculating other postretirement benefit cost is lower than the rate used in calculating pension cost because of differences in the relative amounts of various types of investments held as plan assets.
Dominion Energy determines discount rates from analyses of AA/Aa rated bonds with cash flows matching the expected payments to be made under its plans. The discount rates used to calculate pension cost and other postretirement benefit cost ranged from 3.57% to 4.43% for pension plans and 4.05% to 4.41% for other postretirement benefit plans in 2019, ranged from 3.80% to 3.81% for pension plans and 3.76% for other postretirement benefit plans in 2018 and ranged from 3.31% to 4.50% for pension plans and 3.92% to 4.47% for other postretirement benefit plans in 2017. Dominion Energy selected a discount rate ranging from 3.47% to 3.63% for pension plans and 3.44% to 3.52% for other postretirement benefit plans for determining its December 31, 2019 projected benefit obligations.
Dominion Energy establishes the healthcare cost trend rate assumption based on analyses of various factors including the specific provisions of its medical plans, actual cost trends experienced and projected and demographics of plan participants. Dominion Energy’s healthcare cost trend rate assumption as of December 31, 2019 ranged from 6.50% to 6.60% and is expected to gradually decrease to 5.00% by 2025 and continue at that rate for years thereafter.
The following table illustrates the effect on cost of changing the critical actuarial assumptions previously discussed for Dominion Energy’s plans held as of December 31, 2019, while holding all other assumptions constant:

|  |  |  |  | Increase in 2020 Net Periodic Cost |
|  | Change in Actuarial Assumptions |  |  | Pension Benefits |  |  | Other Postretirement Benefits |
(millions, except percentages) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Discount Rate |  |  | (0.25 | )% |  |  | 19 |  |  |  | 2 |
Long-Term rate of return on plan assets |  |  | (0.25 | )% |  |  | 23 |  |  |  | 5 |
Health care cost trend rate |  |  | 1 | % |  |  | N/A |  |  |  | 20 |

In addition to the effects on cost, at December 31, 2019, a 0.25% decrease in the discount rate would increase Dominion Energy’s projected pension benefit obligation by $371 million and its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $52 million, while a 1.00% increase in the healthcare cost trend rate would increase its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $153 million.

Results Of Operations
Presented below is a summary of Dominion Energy’s consolidated results:

Year Ended December 31, |  | 2019 |  |  | $ Change |  |  | 2018 |  |  | $ Change |  |  | 2017 |
(millions, except EPS) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net Income attributable to Dominion Energy |  | $ | 1,358 |  |  |  | $(1,089) |  |  | $ | 2,447 |  |  |  | $(552) |  |  | $ | 2,999 |
Diluted EPS |  |  | 1.62 |  |  |  | (2.12 | ) |  |  | 3.74 |  |  |  | (0.98 | ) |  |  | 4.72 |

Overview
2019 vs. 2018
Net Income attributable to Dominion Energy decreased 45%, primarily due to charges for refunds of amounts previously collected from retail electric customers of DESC for the NND Project, litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination, a voluntary retirement program, the planned early retirement of certain Virginia Power electric generation facilities and the absence of gains on the sales of certain equity method investments. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds and the operations acquired in the SCANA Combination.
2018 vs. 2017
Net income attributable to Dominion Energy decreased 18%, primarily due to the absence of benefits in 2017 resulting from the remeasurement of deferred income taxes to the new corporate income tax rate, an impairment charge on certain gathering and processing assets, a charge associated with Virginia legislation enacted in March 2018, decreased net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds, lower renewable energy investment tax credits and a charge for disallowance of FERC-regulated plant. These decreases were partially offset by gains on the sales of certain merchant generation facilities and equity method investments, the commencement of commercial operations of the Liquefaction Facility and the absence of charges associated with equity method investments in wind-powered generation facilities.

An analysis of Dominion Energy’s results of operations follows:
2019 vs. 2018
Net revenue
increased 23%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $1.5 billion increase from the SCANA Combination, due to operations acquired ($2.5 billion), partially offset by a $1.0 billion charge for refunds of amounts previously collected from retail electric customers of DESC for the NND Project;

• | A $348 million increase from Virginia Power rate adjustment clauses;

• | A $257 million increase from the Liquefaction Facility, including terminalling services provided to the Export Customers ($190 million), a decrease in credits associated with the start-up phase ($44 million) and regulated gas transportation contracts to serve the Export Customers ($23 million);

• | The absence of a $215 million charge associated with Virginia legislation enacted in March 2018 that required one-time rate credits of certain amounts to utility customers;

• | A $74 million decrease in Virginia Power electric capacity expense related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2019 ($63 million) and a contract termination with a non-utility generator ($37 million), partially offset by the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2018 ($26 million);

• | A $57 million increase due to favorable pricing at Millstone, including the effects of the Millstone 2019 power purchase agreements; and

• | A $40 million decrease in Virginia Power fuel costs due to the expiration of an energy supply contract.

These increases were partially offset by:

• | A $211 million decrease from the absence of certain merchant generation facilities sold in 2018;

51

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued

• | A $99 million decrease in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline; and

• | A $45 million decrease in sales to Virginia Power retail customers from lower heating degree days during the heating season, partially offset by a $25 million increase from higher cooling degree days during the cooling season.

Other operations and maintenance
increased 28%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $735 million increase from operations acquired in the SCANA Combination;

• | An increase in merger and integration-related costs associated with the SCANA Combination ($474 million), including a charge related to a voluntary retirement program ($291 million);

• | A $116 million increase in certain Virginia Power transmission and generation-related expenditures. These expenses are primarily recovered through state and FERC rates and do not impact net income; and

• | A $38 million increase in operating expenses from the commercial operations of the Liquefaction Facility and costs associated with regulated gas transportation contracts to serve the Export Customers.

These increases were partially offset by:

• | A $113 million benefit from the revision of future ash pond and landfill closure costs as a result of Virginia legislation enacted in March 2019;

• | A $99 million decrease in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline. These expenses are billed to Atlantic Coast Pipeline and do not significantly impact net income;

• | The absence of an $81 million charge associated primarily with future ash pond and landfill closure costs in connection with the enactment of Virginia legislation in April 2018; and

• | A $43 million decrease from the absence of certain merchant generation facilities sold in 2018.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization
increased 33%, primarily due to property, plant and equipment acquired in the SCANA Combination ($559 million), including amortization of NND Project costs ($127 million), an increase from various growth projects being placed into service ($134 million), including the Liquefaction Facility ($28 million) and the absence of a benefit for the retroactive application of depreciation rates for regulated nuclear plants to comply with Virginia Commission requirements ($31 million), partially offset by the planned early retirement of certain Virginia Power electric generation facilities and automated meter reading infrastructure ($40 million) and the sale of certain merchant electric generation facilities in 2018 ($37 million).
Other taxes
increased 48%, primarily due to the SCANA Combination ($258 million), an increase in property tax charges for growth projects placed into service ($56 million) and a charge related to a voluntary retirement program ($24 million).
Impairment of assets and related charges
increased $1.1 billion, primarily due to:

• | Charges associated with litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination ($641 million);

• | A $346 million charge related to the early retirement of certain Virginia Power electric generation facilities;

• | A $160 million charge related to Virginia Power’s planned early retirement of certain automated meter reading infrastructure;

• | A $135 million charge related to Virginia Power’s contract termination with a non-utility generator;

• | A $105 million charge for property, plant and equipment acquired in the SCANA Combination for which Dominion Energy committed to forgo recovery;

• | A $62 million charge related to the abandonment of a project at a Virginia Power electric generating facility; and

• | The abandonment of certain property, plant and equipment ($39 million); partially offset by

• | The absence of a $219 impairment charge on certain gathering and processing assets;

• | The absence of a $135 million charge for disallowance of FERC-regulated plant; and

• | The absence of a $37 million write-off associated with the Eastern Market Access Project.

Gains on sales of assets
decreased 57%, primarily due to the absence of the sale of Fairless and Manchester ($210 million) and the absence of gains related to agreements to convey shale development rights under natural gas storage fields ($115 million), partially offset by an increase in gains on sales of nonregulated retail energy marketing assets ($82 million).
Other income
decreased 3%, primarily reflecting the absence of a gain on, and equity earnings from, the sale of Dominion Energy’s 50% limited partnership interest in Blue Racer ($603 million), a charge related to a voluntary retirement program ($112 million) and the absence of a gain on the sale of Dominion Energy’s 25% limited partnership interest in Catalyst Old River Hydroelectric Limited Partnership ($87 million). These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds ($720 million) and an increase in equity earnings from Atlantic Coast Pipeline ($50 million).
Interest and related charges
increased 19%, primarily due to debt acquired in the SCANA Combination net of debt redeemed in 2019 ($314 million), the absence of capitalization of interest expense associated with the Liquefaction Facility upon completion of construction ($46 million), partially offset by the absence of charges associated with the early redemption of certain debt securities in 2018 ($69 million).
Income tax expense
decreased 39%, primarily due to lower
pre-tax
income ($299 million), the impacts of changes in tax status of certain subsidiaries in connection with the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring ($48 million), higher investment tax credits ($39 million) and the absence of 2017 Tax Reform Act impacts ($46 million), partially offset by a charge for certain income
tax-related
regulatory assets acquired in the SCANA Combination for which Dominion Energy committed to forgo recovery ($194 million) and the absence of a state legislative change ($20 million).
Noncontrolling interests
decreased 82%, primarily due to the acquisition of the public interest in Dominion Energy Midstream in January 2019.

52 |  |  |  |  |  |

2018 vs. 2017
Net revenue
increased 2%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $500 million increase due to commencement of commercial operations of the Liquefaction Facility, including terminalling services provided to the Export Customers ($508 million) and regulated gas transportation contracts to serve the Export Customers ($58 million), partially offset by credits associated with the start-up phase of the Liquefaction Facility ($66 million);

• | An increase in sales to electric utility retail customers from an increase in heating degree days during the heating season of 2018 ($71 million) and an increase in cooling degree days during the cooling season of 2018 ($69 million);

• | A $130 million increase due to favorable pricing at merchant generation facilities;

• | A $92 million increase due to growth projects placed in service, other than the Liquefaction Facility;

• | A $74 million increase in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline; and

• | A $46 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers due to customer growth.

These increases were partially offset by:

• | A $325 million decrease for regulated electric generation and electric and gas distribution operations as a result of the 2017 Tax Reform Act;

• | A $215 million charge associated with Virginia legislation enacted in March 2018 that requires one-time rate credits of certain amounts to utility customers;

• | A $94 million increase in net electric capacity expense related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2017 ($112 million) and the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2018 ($39 million), partially offset by a benefit related to non-utility generators ($57 million);

• | An $89 million decrease in rate adjustment clauses associated with electric utility operations, which includes the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act; and

• | A $38 million decrease from scheduled declines in or expiration of certain DETI and Cove Point contracts.

Net revenue does not reflect an impact from a reduction in planned outage days at Millstone as there was an offsetting increase in unplanned outage days.
Other operations and maintenance
increased 8%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $102 million increase in storm damage and service restoration costs in the regulated electric service territory;

• | An $81 million increase due to a charge associated primarily with future ash pond and landfill closure costs in connection with the enactment of Virginia legislation in April 2018;

• | A $73 million increase in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline. These expenses are billed to Atlantic Coast Pipeline and do not significantly impact net income;

• | A $47 million increase in operating expenses from the commercial operations of the Liquefaction Facility and costs associated with regulated gas transportation contracts to serve the Export Customers; and

• | A $38 million increase in salaries, wages and benefits, partially offset by

• | A $74 million decrease from a reduction in planned outage days at certain merchant and utility generation facilities.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization
increased 5%, primarily due to an increase from various growth projects being placed into service ($187 million), including the Liquefaction Facility ($81 million), partially offset by revised depreciation rates for regulated nuclear plants to comply with the Virginia Commission requirements ($61 million).
Impairment of assets and related charges
increased $388 million, primarily due to a $219 million impairment charge on certain gathering and processing assets, a $135 million charge for disallowance of FERC-regulated plant and a $37 million
write-off
associated with the Eastern Market Access Project.
Gains on sales of assets
increased $233 million, primarily due to the sale of Fairless and Manchester ($210 million) and an increase in gains related to agreements to convey shale development rights under natural gas storage fields ($46 million).
Other income
increased $663 million, primarily reflecting a gain on the sale of Dominion Energy’s 50% limited partnership interest in Blue Racer ($546 million), the absence of charges associated with equity method investments in wind-powered generation facilities ($158 million), a gain on the sale of Dominion Energy’s 25% limited partnership interest in Catalyst Old River Hydroelectric Limited Partnership ($87 million) and a decrease in the
non-service
components of pension and other postretirement employee benefit credits capitalized to property, plant and equipment in 2018 ($45 million), partially offset by a decrease in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds ($209 million).
Interest and related charges
increased 24%, primarily due to the absence of capitalization of interest expense associated with the Liquefaction Facility upon completion of construction ($111 million), higher long-term debt interest expense resulting from net debt issuances in 2018 and 2017 ($92 million) and charges associated with the early redemption of certain debt securities ($69 million).
Income tax expense
increased $610 million, primarily due to the absence of benefits resulting from the remeasurement of deferred income taxes to the new corporate income tax rate ($851 million) and lower renewable energy investment tax credits ($138 million), partially offset by the reduced corporate income tax rate ($414 million).
Outlook
Dominion Energy’s 2020 net income is expected to increase on a per share basis as compared to 2019 primarily from the following:

• | The absence of charges for refunds of amounts previously collected from retail electric customers of DESC for the NND Project;

• | The absence of charges associated with the early retirement of certain Virginia Power electric generation facilities and automated meter reading infrastructure;

• | A reduction in merger and integration-related costs associated with the SCANA Combination, including charges related to a voluntary retirement program;

53

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued

• | A decrease in charges associated with litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination;

• | Construction and operation of growth projects in gas transmission and distribution;

• | Construction and operation of growth projects in electric utility operations;

• | Lower depreciation on Virginia Power’s nuclear plants associated with expected approval of license extensions from the NRC;

• | Reduced interest expense as a result of early redemptions of long-term debt; and

• | Delivery under the Millstone 2019 power purchase agreements for an entire year.

These increases are expected to be partially offset by the following:

• | The absence of a benefit for the revision of future ash pond and landfill closure costs as a result of Virginia legislation enacted in March 2019;

• | The noncontrolling 25% limited partnership interest in Cove Point sold in December 2019;

• | An increase in planned outage days at Millstone; and

• | Share dilution.

Segment Results Of Operations
Segment results include the impact of intersegment revenues and expenses, which may result in intersegment profit or loss. In December 2019, Dominion Energy realigned its segments which resulted in the formation of five primary operating segments. The historical information presented herein has been recast to reflect the current segment presentation. Presented below is a summary of contributions by Dominion Energy’s operating segments to net income attributable to Dominion Energy:

Results Of Operations
Presented below is a summary of Virginia Power’s consolidated results:

Year Ended December 31, |  | 2019 |  |  | $ Change |  |  | 2018 |  |  | $ Change |  |  | 2017 |

Net Income |  | $ | 1,149 |  |  |  | $(133 | ) |  | $ | 1,282 |  |  |  | $(258 | ) |  | $ | 1,540 |

Overview
2019 VS. 2018
Net income decreased 10%, primarily due to charges associated with the planned early retirement of certain electric generation facilities and automated meter reading infrastructure, a voluntary retirement program and a contract termination with a
non-utility
generator. These decreases were partially offset by increases related to higher rate adjustment clause equity returns, the revision of future ash pond and landfill closure costs as a result of Virginia legislation enacted in March 2019 and the absence of charges associated with Virginia legislation enacted in March 2018 and April 2018.

56 |  |  |  |  |  |

2018 VS. 2017
Net income decreased 17%, primarily due to a charge associated with Virginia legislation enacted in March 2018, an increase in storm damage and service restoration costs, a charge associated primarily with future ash pond and landfill closure costs in connection with the enactment of Virginia legislation in April 2018 and an increase in net electric capacity expense, partially offset by an increase in heating and cooling degree days in the service territory.

An analysis of Virginia Power’s results of operations follows:
2019 VS. 2018
Net revenue
increased 14%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $348 million increase from rate adjustment clauses;

• | The absence of a $215 million charge associated with Virginia legislation enacted in March 2018 that required one-time rate credits of certain amounts to utility customers;

• | A $74 million decrease in electric capacity expense primarily related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2019 ($63 million) and a contract termination with a non-utility generator ($37 million), partially offset by the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2018 ($26 million); and

• | A $40 million decrease in fuel costs due to the expiration of an energy supply contract; partially offset by

• | A $45 million decrease in sales to retail customers from lower heating degree days during the heating season, partially offset by a $25 million increase from higher cooling degree days during the cooling season.

Other operations and maintenance
increased 4%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $190 million charge related to a voluntary retirement program; and

• | A $116 million increase in certain transmission and generation-related expenses. These expenses were primarily

recovered through state and FERC rates and did not impact net income; partially offset by

• | A $113 million benefit from the revision of future ash pond and landfill closure costs as a result of Virginia legislation enacted in March 2019;

• | The absence of an $81 million charge associated primarily with future ash pond and landfill closure costs in connection with the enactment of Virginia legislation in April 2018; and

• | A $25 million decrease in storm damage and service restoration costs.

Depreciation and amortization
increased 8%, primarily due to various projects being placed into service ($92 million) and the absence of a benefit for the retroactive application of depreciation rates for regulated nuclear plants to comply with Virginia Commission requirements ($31 million), partially offset by the absence of depreciation from certain electric generation facilities and automated meter reading infrastructure that were retired early ($40 million).
Impairment of assets and other charges
increased $757 million, primarily reflecting:

• | A $346 million charge related to the early retirement of certain electric generation facilities;

• | A $160 million charge related to the planned early retirement of certain automated meter reading infrastructure;

• | A $135 million charge related to contract termination with a non-utility generator; and

• | A $62 million charge related to the abandonment of a project at an electric generating facility.

Other income
increased $76 million, primarily reflecting an increase in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
Income tax expense
decreased 12%, primarily due to lower pretax income ($29 million) and the absence of 2017 Tax Reform Act impacts ($23 million), partially offset by lower investment tax credits ($14 million).
2018 VS. 2017
Net revenue
decreased 8%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $238 million decrease for regulated generation and distribution operations as a result of the 2017 Tax Reform Act;

• | A $215 million charge associated with Virginia legislation enacted in March 2018 that requires one-time rate credits of certain amounts to utility customers;

• | A $94 million increase in net electric capacity expense related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2017 ($112 million) and the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2018 ($39 million), partially offset by a benefit related to non-utility generators ($57 million); and

• | An $89 million decrease from rate adjustment clauses, which includes the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act; partially offset by

• | An increase in sales to retail customers from an increase in heating degree days during the heating season of 2018 ($71 million) and an increase in cooling degree days during the cooling season of 2018 ($69 million); and

• | A $46 million increase in sales to retail customers due to customer growth.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
Other operations and maintenance
increased 13%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $102 million increase due to storm damage and service restoration costs; and

• | An $81 million increase due to a charge associated primarily with future ash pond and landfill closure costs in connection with the enactment of Virginia legislation in April 2018; partially offset by

• | A $19 million decrease from a reduction in planned outage days at certain generation facilities.

Depreciation and amortization
was substantially consistent as a decrease due to revised depreciation rates for regulated nuclear plants to comply with the Virginia Commission requirements ($61 million) was substantially offset by various growth projects being placed into service ($56 million).
Other income
decreased 71%, primarily related to lower realized gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust funds ($23 million), the electric transmission tower rental portfolio, including the absence of the assignment of such amounts to Vertical Bridge Towers II, LLC ($18 million) and the absence of interest income associated with the settlement of state income tax refund claims ($11 million), partially offset by the absence of a charge associated with a customer settlement ($16 million).
Income tax expense
decreased 61%, primarily due to lower
pre-tax
income ($256 million), the reduced corporate income tax rate ($235 million) and higher renewable energy investment tax credits ($35 million), partially offset by the absence of benefits resulting from the remeasurement of deferred income taxes to the new corporate income tax rate ($93 million).

An analysis of Dominion Energy Gas’ results of operations follows:
2019 VS. 2018
Net revenue
increased 8%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $257 million increase from the Liquefaction Facility, including terminalling services provided to the Export Customers ($190 million), a decrease in credits associated with the start-up phase ($44 million) and regulated gas transportation contracts to serve the Export Customers ($23 million); and

• | An $18 million increase due to DETI contract changes; partially offset by

• | A $99 million decrease in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline; and

• | A $42 million increase in net fuel carrying costs as a result of depressed natural gas market conditions.

58 |  |  |  |  |  |

Other operations and maintenance
remained substantially consistent primarily reflecting:

• | A $45 million increase in operating expenses from the commercial operations of the Liquefaction Facility and costs associated with regulated gas transportation contracts to serve the Export Customers;

• | A $39 million charge related to a voluntary retirement program; and

• | A $10 million increase in salaries, wages and benefits and general administrative expenses; substantially offset by

• | A $99 million decrease in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline. These expenses are billed to Atlantic Coast Pipeline and do not significantly impact net income.

Depreciation and amortization
increased 10%, primarily due to an increase from various growth projects being placed into service, including the Liquefaction Facility.
Other taxes
increased 28%, primarily due to property taxes associated with the Liquefaction Facility.
Impairment of assets and related charges
decreased 92%, primarily due to the absence of a charge for disallowance of FERC-regulated plant ($127 million) and the absence of a
write-off
associated with the Eastern Market Access Project ($37 million), partially offset by the abandonment of the Sweden Valley project ($13 million).
Gains on sales of assets
decreased 98%, primarily due to the absence of gains related to agreements to convey shale development rights under natural gas storage fields.
Earnings from equity method investees
decreased 20%, primarily due to lower earnings from Iroquois.
Other income
increased 87%, primarily due to interest income from Cove Point’s promissory notes receivable from Dominion Energy issued in 2018.
Interest and related charges
increased 79%, primarily due to Cove Point’s term loan borrowings ($78 million), the absence of capitalization of interest expense associated with the Liquefaction Facility upon completion of construction ($46 million) and higher interest expense due to increased affiliate borrowings ($10 million).
Income tax expense
decreased 19%, primarily due to the impacts of changes in tax status of certain subsidiaries in connection with the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring ($48 million), partially offset by reductions in noncontrolling interest associated with Dominion Energy’s purchase of Dominion Energy Midstream publicly held common units ($9 million) and the absence of a state legislative change ($15 million).
Noncontrolling interests
decreased 31%, primarily due to the acquisition of the public interest in Dominion Energy Midstream in January 2019.
2018 VS. 2017
Net revenue
increased 42%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $500 million increase due to commencement of commercial operations of the Liquefaction Facility, including terminalling services provided to the Export Customers ($508 million) and regulated gas transportation contracts to serve the Export Customers ($58 million), partially offset by credits associated with the start-up phase of the Liquefaction Facility ($66 million);

• | A $74 million increase in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline; and

• | A $57 million increase due to regulated natural gas transmission growth projects placed in service, other than the Liquefaction Facility; partially offset by

• | A $38 million decrease from scheduled declines in or expiration of certain DETI and Cove Point contracts.

Other operations and maintenance
increased 25%, primarily reflecting:

• | A $73 million increase in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline. These expenses are billed to Atlantic Coast Pipeline and do not significantly impact net income;

• | A $47 million increase in operating expenses from the commercial operations of the Liquefaction Facility and costs associated with regulated gas transportation contracts to serve the Export Customers; and

• | A $13 million increase in salaries, wages and benefits and general administrative expenses.

Depreciation and amortization
increased 38%, primarily due to an increase from various growth projects being placed into service, including the Liquefaction Facility.
Other taxes
increased 21%, primarily due to property taxes associated with the Liquefaction Facility commencing commercial operations.
Impairment of assets and related charges
increased $148 million, primarily due to a charge for disallowance of FERC-regulated plant ($127 million) and a
write-off
associated with the Eastern Market Access Project ($37 million), partially offset by the absence of a charge to
write-off
the balance of a regulatory asset no longer considered probable of recovery ($15 million).
Gains on sales of assets
increased 67% primarily due to increased gains from agreements to convey shale development rights underneath several natural gas storage fields.
Earnings from equity method investees
increased 15%, primarily due to higher earnings from unsubscribed capacity as a result of an increase in heating degree days at Iroquois.
Other income
increased 44%, primarily due to interest income from Cove Point’s promissory notes receivable from Dominion Energy issued in September 2018 ($20 million) and a decrease in
non-service
components of pension and other postretirement employee benefit credits capitalized to property, plant and equipment in 2018 ($13 million), partially offset by AFUDC on rate-regulated projects ($7 million).
Interest and related charges
increased $114 million, primarily due to the absence of capitalization of interest expense associated with the Liquefaction Facility upon completion of construction ($72 million) and Cove Point’s term loan borrowings ($36 million).
Income tax expense
increased $189 million, primarily due to the absence of benefits resulting from the remeasurement of deferred income taxes to the new corporate income tax rate ($246 million), higher
pre-tax
income ($37 million), the absence of a settlement with state tax authorities ($5 million), partially offset by the reduced corporate income tax rate ($90 million) and a state legislative change ($10 million).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
Liquidity And Capital Resources
Dominion Energy depends on both internal and external sources of liquidity to provide working capital and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. Short-term cash requirements not met by cash provided by operations are generally satisfied with proceeds from short-term borrowings. Long-term cash needs are met through issuances of debt and/or equity securities.
At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had $5.1 billion of unused capacity under its credit facility. See additional discussion below under
Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt.
A summary of Dominion Energy’s cash flows is presented below:

Year Ended December 31, |  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
(millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Cash, restricted cash and equivalents at beginning of year |  | $ | 391 |  |  | $ | 185 |  |  | $ | 322 |
Cash flows provided by (used in): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Operating activities |  |  | 5,204 |  |  |  | 4,773 |  |  |  | 4,502 |

Financing activities |  |  | (704 | ) |  |  | (2,209 | ) |  |  | 1,303 |
Net increase (decrease) in cash, restricted cash and equivalents |  |  | (122 | ) |  |  | 206 |  |  |  | (137 | )
Cash, restricted cash and equivalents at end of year |  | $ | 269 |  |  | $ | 391 |  |  | $ | 185 |

Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by Dominion Energy’s operating activities increased $431 million, primarily due to operations acquired in the SCANA Combination, the commercial operations of the Liquefaction Facility for the entire year and higher deferred fuel cost recoveries in the Virginia jurisdiction, partially offset by an increase in property tax payments, increased interest expense, higher customer rate refunds, a contract termination payment to a
non-utility
generator, an increase in merger and integration-related costs associated with the SCANA Combination, and a net decrease in other working capital items.
Dominion Energy believes that its operations provide a stable source of cash flow to contribute to planned levels of capital expenditures and maintain or grow the dividend on common shares. In December 2019, Dominion Energy’s Board of Directors established an annual dividend rate for 2020 of $3.76 per share of common stock, a 2.5% increase over the 2019 rate. Dividends are subject to declaration by the Board of Directors. In January 2020, Dominion Energy’s Board of Directors declared dividends payable in March 2020 of 94 cents per share of common stock.
Dominion Energy’s operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that may negatively impact the timing or amounts of operating cash flows, and which are discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Credit Risk
Dominion Energy’s exposure to potential concentrations of credit risk results primarily from its energy marketing and price risk management activities. Presented below is a summary of Dominion Energy’s credit exposure as of December 31, 2019 for these activities. Gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized
on-
or
off-balance
sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights.

|  | Gross Credit Exposure |  |  | Credit Collateral |  |  | Net Credit Exposure |
(millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Investment grade (1) |  |  | $87 |  |  |  | $— |  |  |  | $87 |
No external ratings: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Internally rated—investment grade (2) |  |  | 119 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 119 |

Total (4) |  |  | $233 |  |  |  | $— |  |  |  | $233 |

(1) | Designations as investment grade are based upon minimum credit ratings assigned by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. The five largest counterparty exposures, combined, for this category represented approximately 25% of the total net credit exposure.

(2) | The five largest counterparty exposures, combined, for this category represented approximately 51% of the total net credit exposure.

(3) | The five largest counterparty exposures, combined, for this category represented approximately 11% of the total net credit exposure.

(4) | Excludes Millstone 2019 power purchase agreements.

Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s investing activities increased $2.3 billion, primarily due to a decrease in net proceeds from the sale of certain merchant generation facilities and interests in certain equity method investments and an increase in plant construction and other property additions, partially offset by cash and restricted cash acquired in the SCANA Combination.
Financing Cash Flows and Liquidity
Dominion Energy relies on capital markets as significant sources of funding for capital requirements not satisfied by cash provided by its operations. As discussed in
Credit Ratings
, Dominion Energy’s ability to borrow funds or issue securities and the return demanded by investors are affected by credit ratings. In addition, the raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory requirements, including registration with the SEC for certain issuances.
Dominion Energy currently meets the definition of a well-known seasoned issuer under SEC rules governing the registration, communications and offering processes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The rules provide for a streamlined shelf registration process to provide registrants with timely access to capital. This allows Dominion Energy to use automatic shelf registration statements to register any offering of securities, other than those for exchange offers or business combination transactions.
From time to time, Dominion Energy may reduce its outstanding debt and level of interest expense through redemption of debt securities prior to maturity and repurchases in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers or otherwise.
Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s financing activities decreased $1.5 billion, primarily due to proceeds from the sale of a 25% noncontrolling limited partnership interest in Cove Point and the issuance of the 2019 Equity Units and the Series B Preferred Stock, partially offset by an increase in net debt repayments in 2019 compared to 2018 and higher common stock dividend payments.
Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt
Dominion Energy uses short-term debt to fund working capital requirements and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the

60 |  |  |  |  |  |

year, depending upon the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. In addition, Dominion Energy utilizes cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements. Collateral requirements are impacted by commodity prices, hedging levels, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings and the credit quality of its counterparties.
In connection with commodity hedging activities, Dominion Energy is required to provide collateral to counterparties under some circumstances. Under certain collateral arrangements, Dominion Energy may satisfy these requirements by electing to either deposit cash, post letters of credit or, in some cases, utilize other forms of security. From time to time, Dominion Energy may vary the form of collateral provided to counterparties after weighing the costs and benefits of various factors associated with the different forms of collateral. These factors include short-term borrowing and short-term investment rates, the spread over these short-term rates at which Dominion Energy can issue commercial paper, balance sheet impacts, the costs and fees of alternative collateral postings with these and other counterparties and overall liquidity management objectives.
Dominion Energy’s commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding, as well as capacity available under its credit facility, were as follows:

|  | Facility Limit |  |  | Outstanding Commercial Paper (1) |  |  | Outstanding Letters of Credit |  |  | Facility Capacity Available |
(millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
At December 31, 2019 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Joint revolving credit facility (2) |  | $ | 6,000 |  |  |  | $836 |  |  |  | $89 |  |  | $ | 5,075 |

(1) | The weighted-average interest rate of the outstanding commercial paper supported by Dominion Energy’s credit facility was 2.10% at December 31, 2019.

(2) | This credit facility matures in March 2023 and can be used by the borrowers under the credit facility to support bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper, as well as to support up to a combined $2.0 billion of letters of credit.

In November 2017, Dominion Energy filed an SEC shelf registration statement for the sale of up to $3.0 billion of variable denomination floating rate demand notes, called Dominion Energy Reliability Investment
SM
. The registration limits the principal amount that may be outstanding at any one time to $1.0 billion. The notes are offered on a continuous basis and bear interest at a floating rate per annum determined by the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Committee, or its designee, on a weekly basis. The notes have no stated maturity date, are
non-transferable
and may be redeemed in whole or in part by Dominion Energy or at the investor’s option at any time. The balance as of December 31, 2019 was $75 million. The notes are short-term debt obligations on Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.
In March 2019, DESC’s $700 million credit facility was terminated and DESC was added as a borrower to the joint revolving credit facility discussed above with Dominion Energy, Virginia Power, Dominion Energy Gas and Questar Gas. At December 31, 2019, the
sub-limit
for DESC was $500 million.
South Carolina Fuel Company, Inc.’s credit facility was terminated in February 2019. SCANA and PSNC’s credit facilities
were terminated in March 2019. Liquidity needs for these entities may be satisfied through short-term company borrowings from Dominion Energy.
In February 2019, Dominion Energy Midstream terminated its $500 million revolving credit facility subsequent to repaying the outstanding balance of $73 million, plus accrued interest.
In September 2019, Dominion Energy Questar borrowed $3.0 billion under a
364-Day
Term Loan Agreement that bore interest at a variable rate. The proceeds from the borrowing were used to repay the principal of Cove Point’s $3.0 billion term loan due in 2021. Dominion Energy provided a guarantee to support Dominion Energy Questar’s obligation under the
364-Day
Term Loan Agreement. In November and December 2019, principal of $1.0 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, plus accrued interest was repaid.
Long-Term Debt
During 2019, Dominion Energy issued the following long-term public debt:

Type |  | Issuer |  |  | Principal |  |  | Rate |  |  | Maturity |

Total notes issued |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 3,150 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

During 2019, Dominion Energy also issued the following long-term private debt:

• | In August 2019, Dominion Energy issued $1.0 billion of 2.45% senior notes that mature in 2023 through a private placement. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to repay short-term debt, including commercial paper.

During 2019, Dominion Energy also remarketed the following long-term debt:

• | In May 2019, Virginia Power remarketed four series of tax-exempt bonds, with an aggregate outstanding principal of $198 million to new investors. One of the bonds will bear interest at a coupon rate of 1.8% until April 2022, after which it will bear interest at a market rate to be determined at that time. Three of the bonds will bear interest at a coupon rate of 1.9% until June 2023, after which they will bear interest at a market rate to be determined at that time.

• | In June 2019, Dominion Energy successfully remarketed its $700 million 2016 Series A-1 2.0% RSNs due 2021 and $700 million 2016 Series A-2 2.0% RSNs due 2024 pursuant to the terms of the 2016 Equity Units. In connection with the remarketing, the interest rates on the Series A-1 and Series A-2 notes were reset to 2.715% and 3.071%, respectively. Dominion Energy did not receive any proceeds from the remarketing.

• | In October 2019, Dominion Energy Terminal Company remarketed its $27 million Peninsula Ports Authority of Virginia Coal

In 2019, Dominion Energy issued 9.9 million shares and received cash proceeds of $793 million, net of fees and commissions paid of $8 million, through its
at-the-market
program. In

62 |  |  |  |  |  |

December 2019, Dominion Energy completed the program. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the
at-the-market
program.
In June 2019, Dominion Energy issued $1.6 billion of 2019 Equity Units, initially in the form of 2019 Series A Corporate Units. The Corporate Units are listed on the NYSE under the symbol DCUE.
In December 2019, Dominion Energy issued 800,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and received proceeds of $791 million.
Repurchase of Common Stock
Dominion Energy did not repurchase any shares in 2019 and does not plan to repurchase shares during 2020, except for shares tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock, which does not count against its stock repurchase authorization.
Credit Ratings
Credit ratings are intended to provide banks and capital market participants with a framework for comparing the credit quality of securities and are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Dominion Energy believes that its current credit ratings provide sufficient access to the capital markets. However, disruptions in the banking and capital markets not specifically related to Dominion Energy may affect its ability to access these funding sources or cause an increase in the return required by investors. Dominion Energy’s credit ratings affect its liquidity, cost of borrowing under credit facilities and collateral posting requirements under commodity contracts, as well as the rates at which it is able to offer its debt securities.
Both quantitative (financial strength) and qualitative (business or operating characteristics) factors are considered by the credit rating agencies in establishing an individual company’s credit rating. Credit ratings should be evaluated independently and are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. The credit ratings for Dominion Energy are affected by its financial profile, mix of regulated and nonregulated businesses and respective cash flows, changes in methodologies used by the rating agencies and event risk, if applicable, such as major acquisitions or dispositions.
Credit ratings and outlooks as of February 25, 2020 follow:

|  | Fitch |  |  | Moody’s |  |  | Standard & Poor’s |
Dominion Energy |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Issuer |  |  | BBB+ |  |  |  | Baa2 |  |  |  | BBB+ |
Senior unsecured debt securities |  |  | BBB+ |  |  |  | Baa2 |  |  |  | BBB |
Junior subordinated notes |  |  | BBB |  |  |  | Baa3 |  |  |  | BBB |
Enhanced junior subordinated notes |  |  | BBB- |  |  |  | Baa3 |  |  |  | BBB- |
Preferred Stock |  |  | BBB- |  |  |  | Ba1 |  |  |  | BBB- |
Commercial paper |  |  | F2 |  |  |  | P-2 |  |  |  | A-2 |
Outlook |  |  | Stable |  |  |  | Stable |  |  |  | Stable |

A downgrade in an individual company’s credit rating does not necessarily restrict its ability to raise short-term and long-term financing as long as its credit rating remains investment grade, but it could result in an increase in the cost of borrowing. Dominion Energy works closely with Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s with the objective of achieving its targeted credit ratings. Dominion Energy may find it necessary to modify its
business plan to maintain or achieve appropriate credit ratings and such changes may adversely affect growth and EPS.
Debt Covenants
As part of borrowing funds and issuing debt (both short-term and long-term) or preferred securities, Dominion Energy must enter into enabling agreements. These agreements contain covenants that, in the event of default, could result in the acceleration of principal and interest payments; restrictions on distributions related to capital stock, including dividends, redemptions, repurchases, liquidation payments or guarantee payments; and in some cases, the termination of credit commitments unless a waiver of such requirements is agreed to by the lenders/security holders. These provisions are customary, with each agreement specifying which covenants apply. These provisions are not necessarily unique to Dominion Energy.
Some of the typical covenants include:

• | The timely payment of principal and interest;

• | Information requirements, including submitting financial reports and information about changes in Dominion Energy’s credit ratings to lenders;

• | Performance obligations, audits/inspections, continuation of the basic nature of business, restrictions on certain matters related to merger or consolidation and restrictions on disposition of all or substantially all assets;

• | Compliance with collateral minimums or requirements related to mortgage bonds; and

• | Limitations on liens.

Dominion Energy is required to pay annual commitment fees to maintain its credit facility. In addition, Dominion Energy’s credit agreement contains various terms and conditions that could affect its ability to borrow under the facility. They include a maximum debt to total capital ratio and cross-default provisions.
As of December 31, 2019, the calculated total debt to total capital ratio, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was as follows:

Company |  | Maximum Allowed Ratio |  |  | Actual Ratio (1) |
Dominion Energy |  |  | 67.5 | % |  |  | 50.3% |

(1) | Indebtedness as defined by the bank agreements excludes certain junior subordinated notes reflected as long-term debt as well as AOCI reflected as equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

If Dominion Energy or any of its material subsidiaries fails to make payment on various debt obligations in excess of $100 million, the lenders could require the defaulting company, if it is a borrower under Dominion Energy’s credit facility, to accelerate its repayment of any outstanding borrowings and the lenders could terminate their commitments, if any, to lend funds to that company under the credit facility. In addition, if the defaulting company is Virginia Power, Dominion Energy’s obligations to repay any outstanding borrowing under the credit facility could also be accelerated and the lenders’ commitments to Dominion Energy could terminate.
Dominion Energy executed RCCs in connection with its issuance of the June 2006 hybrids and September 2006 hybrids. In February 2020, the RCCs were terminated subsequent to the redemption of the remaining principal outstanding of the June 2006 hybrids and the September 2006 hybrids. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
Dominion Energy monitors these debt covenants on a regular basis in order to ensure that events of default will not occur. As of December 31, 2019, there have been no events of default under Dominion Energy’s debt covenants.
Dividend Restrictions
Certain agreements associated with Dominion Energy’s credit facility contain restrictions on the ratio of debt to total capitalization. These limitations did not restrict Dominion Energy’s ability to pay dividends or receive dividends from its subsidiaries at December 31, 2019.
See Notes 19 and 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of potential restrictions on dividend payments by Dominion Energy, including in connection with the deferral of contract adjustment payments associated with the 2019 Equity Units, which information is incorporated herein by reference, as well as the failure to declare and pay dividends on Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock.
Future Cash Payments for Contractual Obligations and Planned Capital Expenditures
Contractual Obligations
Dominion Energy is party to numerous contracts and arrangements obligating it to make cash payments in future years. These contracts include financing arrangements such as debt agreements and leases, as well as contracts for the purchase of goods and services and financial derivatives. Presented below is a table summarizing cash payments that may result from contracts to which Dominion Energy is a party as of December 31, 2019. For purchase obligations and other liabilities, amounts are based upon contract terms, including fixed and minimum quantities to be purchased at fixed or market-based prices. Actual cash payments will be based upon actual quantities purchased and prices paid and will likely differ from amounts presented below. The table excludes all amounts classified as current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, other than current maturities of long-term debt, interest payable and certain derivative instruments. The majority of Dominion Energy’s current liabilities will be paid in cash in 2020.

See Notes 12, 14 and 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Due to uncertainty about the timing and amounts that will ultimately be paid, $118 million of income taxes payable associated with unrecognized tax benefits are excluded. Deferred income taxes are also excluded since cash payments are based primarily on taxable income for each discrete fiscal year. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(6) | Includes interest rate and foreign currency swap agreements.

Planned Capital Expenditures
Dominion Energy’s planned capital expenditures are expected to total approximately $8.2 billion, $8.1 billion, and $7.6 billion in 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively. Dominion Energy’s planned expenditures are expected to include construction and expansion of electric generation, including renewable energy, and natural gas distribution, transmission and storage facilities, construction improvements and expansion of electric transmission and distribution assets, purchases of nuclear fuel, maintenance, and contributions to Atlantic Coast Pipeline to fund Dominion Energy’s portion of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project.
Dominion Energy expects to fund its capital expenditures with cash from operations and a combination of securities issuances and short-term borrowings. Planned capital expenditures include capital projects that are subject to approval by regulators and the Board of Directors.
See
Dominion Energy Virginia, Gas Transmission & Storage, Gas Distribution, Dominion Energy South Carolina
and
Contracted Generation -Properties
in Item 1. Business for a discussion of Dominion Energy’s expansion plans.

64 |  |  |  |  |  |

The above estimates are based on a capital expenditures plan reviewed and endorsed by Dominion Energy’s Board of Directors in late 2019 and are subject to continuing review and adjustment and actual capital expenditures may vary from these estimates. Dominion Energy may also choose to postpone or cancel certain planned capital expenditures in order to mitigate the need for future debt financings and equity issuances.
Use of
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Leasing Arrangement
In December 2019, Dominion Energy signed an agreement with a lessor to construct and lease a new corporate office property in Richmond, Virginia. The lessor is providing equity and has obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $465 million, to fund the estimated project costs. If Dominion Energy ultimately proceeds with the project through completion, it is not expected to be completed earlier than mid-2023. Dominion Energy has been appointed to act as the construction agent for the lessor, during which time Dominion Energy will request cash draws from the lessor and debt investors to fund all project costs. If the project is terminated under certain events of default, Dominion Energy could be required to pay up to 89.9% of the then funded amount. For specific full recourse events, Dominion Energy could be required to pay up to 100% of the then funded amount.
The
51-month
lease term will commence once construction is substantially complete and the facility is able to be occupied. At the end of the initial lease term, Dominion Energy can (i) extend the term of the lease for an additional five years, subject to the approval of the participants, at current market terms, (ii) purchase the property for an amount equal to the project costs or, (iii) subject to certain terms and conditions, sell the property on behalf of the lessor to a third party using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the highest cash purchase price for the property. If the project is sold and the proceeds from the sale are insufficient to repay the investors for the project costs, Dominion Energy may be required to make a payment to the lessor, up to 83% of project costs, for the difference between the project costs and sale proceeds.
Dominion Energy is not considered the owner during construction for financial accounting purposes and, therefore, will not reflect the construction activity in its consolidated financial statements. Dominion Energy expects to recognize a
right-of-use
asset and a corresponding finance lease liability at the commencement of the lease term. Dominion Energy will be considered the owner of the leased property for tax purposes, and as a result, will be entitled to tax deductions for depreciation and interest expense.
Guarantees
Dominion Energy primarily enters into guarantee arrangements on behalf of its consolidated subsidiaries. These arrangements are not subject to the provisions of FASB guidance that dictate a guarantor’s accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including indirect guarantees of indebtedness of others
.
In addition, Dominion Energy has provided a guarantee to support a portion of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s obligation under a $3.4 billion revolving credit facility. See Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Future Issues And Other Matters
See Item 1. Business and Notes 13 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on various environmental, regulatory, legal and other matters that may impact future results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
Dominion Energy is subject to costs resulting from a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. These laws and regulations affect future planning and existing operations. They can result in increased capital, operating and other costs as a result of compliance, remediation, containment and monitoring obligations.
Environmental Protection and Monitoring Expenditures
Dominion Energy incurred $260 million, $198 million and $200 million of expenses (including accretion and depreciation) during 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in connection with environmental protection and monitoring activities. Dominion Energy expects these expenses to be approximately $286 million and $275 million in 2020 and 2021, respectively. In addition, capital expenditures related to environmental controls were $134 million, $104 million, and $201 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dominion Energy expects these expenditures to be approximately $159 million and $132 million for 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Future Environmental Regulations
Climate Change
In December 2015, the Paris Agreement was formally adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. A key element of the initial U.S. commitment to the agreement was the implementation of the Clean Power Plan, which the EPA has proposed to repeal. In June 2017, the Administration announced that the U.S. intends to file to withdraw from the Paris Agreement in 2019. Several states, including Virginia, subsequently announced a commitment to achieving the carbon reduction goals of the Paris Agreement. It is not possible at this time to predict the timing and impact of this withdrawal, or how any legal requirements in the U.S. at the federal, state or local levels pursuant to the Paris Agreement could impact the Companies’ customers or the business.
State Actions Related to Air and GHG Emissions
In August 2017, the Ozone Transport Commission released a draft model rule for control of NO
X
emissions from natural gas pipeline compressor fuel-fire prime movers. States within the ozone transport region, including states in which Dominion Energy has natural gas operations, are expected to develop reasonably achievable control technology rules for existing sources based on the Ozone Transport Commission model rule. States outside of the Ozone Transport Commission may also consider the model rules in setting new reasonably achievable control technology standards. Several states in which Dominion Energy operates, including Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Virginia and Ohio, are developing or have announced plans to develop state-specific regulations to control GHG emissions, including methane.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
Dominion Energy cannot currently estimate the potential financial statement impacts related to these matters, but there could be a material impact to its financial condition and/or cash flows.
Water
In November 2019, the EPA released proposed revisions to the Effluent Limitations Guidelines rule that, if adopted, could extend the deadlines for compliance with certain standards at several facilities. While the impacts of this rule could be material to Dominion Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities.
PHMSA Regulation
The most recent reauthorization of PHMSA included new provisions on historical records research, maximum-allowed operating pressure validation, use of automated or remote-controlled valves on new or replaced lines, increased civil penalties and evaluation of expanding integrity management beyond high-consequence areas. PHMSA has not yet issued new rulemaking on most of these items.
Dodd-Frank Act
The Dodd-Frank Act was enacted into law in July 2010 in an effort to improve regulation of financial markets. The CEA, as amended by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, requires certain
over-the
counter derivatives, or swaps, to be cleared through a derivatives clearing organization and, if the swap is subject to a clearing requirement, to be executed on a designated contract market or swap execution facility.
Non-financial
entities that use swaps to hedge or mitigate commercial risk, often referred to as end users, may elect the
end-user
exception to the CEA’s clearing requirements. Dominion Energy has elected to exempt its swaps from the CEA’s clearing requirements. If, as a result of changes to the rulemaking process, Dominion Energy’s derivative activities are not exempted from clearing, exchange trading or margin requirements, it could be subject to higher costs due to decreased market liquidity or increased margin payments. In addition, Dominion Energy’s swap dealer counterparties may attempt to pass-through additional trading costs in connection with changes to or the elimination of rulemaking that implements Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act. Due to the evolving rulemaking process, Dominion Energy is currently unable to assess the potential impact of the Dodd-Frank Act’s derivative-related provisions on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Virginia Legislation
The 2020 General Assembly session in Virginia has included several proposals which, if ultimately enacted into law, could have a material impact on Dominion Energy’s operations, as well as impacts on regulatory cost recovery. Items under consideration include environmental requirements such as joining RGGI or meeting mandatory renewable portfolio standards that could result in both the need to develop new renewable electric generation facilities and the closure of certain existing electric generation facilities, expanded use of distributed renewable generation resources and additional requirements related to
demand side management programs. Additionally, legislation has been proposed which may affect Dominion Energy’s plans and/or cost recovery mechanisms for offshore wind development and replacing diesel school buses with electric school buses. Due to the evolving legislative process, Dominion Energy is unable to estimate the potential financial statement impacts related to matters currently under consideration by the Virginia General Assembly, but there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Atlantic Coast Pipeline
In September 2014, Dominion Energy, along with Duke and Southern, announced the formation of Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Atlantic Coast Pipeline is focused on constructing an approximately
600-mile
natural gas pipeline running from West Virginia through Virginia to North Carolina. Atlantic Coast Pipeline has continued to experience delays in obtaining and/or maintaining permits necessary for construction along with construction delays due to judicial actions. In February 2020, the Supreme Court of the U.S. heard oral arguments in Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s case regarding the Appalachian Trail crossing and is expected to issue a ruling by June 2020. If a favorable ruling is not received, Atlantic Coast Pipeline is also evaluating possible legislative and administrative remedies to this issue. Given the legal challenges and ongoing discussions with customers, project construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2021, with full
in-service
in early 2022, with project costs estimated to be approximately $8 billion, excluding financing costs. Atlantic Coast Pipeline has reached agreements in principle with major customers to amend the contracted rate to share in certain delay cost increases, pending certain regulatory approvals. Project construction activities, schedules and costs are subject to uncertainty due to permitting and/or work delays (including due to judicial or regulatory action), abnormal weather and other conditions that could result in cost or schedule modifications in the future, a suspension of AFUDC for Atlantic Coast Pipeline and/or impairment charges potentially material to Dominion Energy’s cash flows, financial position and/or results of operations. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
North Anna
Virginia Power is considering the construction of a third nuclear unit at a site located at North Anna. If Virginia Power decides to build a new unit, it would require a Combined Construction Permit and Operating License from the NRC, approval of the Virginia Commission and certain environmental permits and other approvals. In June 2017, the NRC issued the Combined Construction Permit and Operating License. Virginia Power has not yet committed to building a new nuclear unit at North Anna.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The matters discussed in this Item may contain “forward-looking statements” as described in the introductory paragraphs of Item 7. MD&A. The reader’s attention is directed to those paragraphs and Item 1A. Risk Factors for discussion of various risks and uncertainties that may impact the Companies.

66 |  |  |  |  |  |

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments And Risk Management
The Companies’ financial instruments, commodity contracts and related financial derivative instruments are exposed to potential losses due to adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates and equity security prices as described below. Commodity price risk is present in Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s electric operations and Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ natural gas procurement and marketing operations due to the exposure to market shifts in prices received and paid for electricity, natural gas and other commodities. The Companies use commodity derivative contracts to manage price risk exposures for these operations. Interest rate risk is generally related to their outstanding debt and future issuances of debt. In addition, the Companies are exposed to investment price risk through various portfolios of equity and debt securities.
The following sensitivity analysis estimates the potential loss of future earnings or fair value from market risk sensitive instruments over a selected time period due to a 10% change in commodity prices or interest rates.
Commodity Price Risk
To manage price risk, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power hold commodity-based derivative instruments held for
non-trading
purposes associated with purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products. Dominion Energy Gas’ operations are contracted primarily under long-term fixed reservation agreements. Accordingly, management believes that Dominion Energy Gas is not subject to material commodity price risk.
The derivatives used to manage commodity price risk are executed within established policies and procedures and may include instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps, options and FTRs that are sensitive to changes in the related commodity prices. For sensitivity analysis purposes, the hypothetical change in market prices of commodity-based derivative instruments is determined based on models that consider the market prices of commodities in future periods, the volatility of the market prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the derivative instruments. Prices and volatility are principally determined based on observable market prices.
A hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of $50 million and $6 million of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
A hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices of Virginia Power’s commodity-based derivative instruments would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of $54 million and $51 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
The impact of a change in energy commodity prices on the Companies’ commodity-based derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net losses from commodity-based financial derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction, such as revenue from physical sales of the commodity.
Interest Rate Risk
The Companies manage their interest rate risk exposure predominantly by maintaining a balance of fixed and variable rate debt. For variable rate debt outstanding for Dominion Energy, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material change in earnings at December 31, 2019 and would have resulted in a $24 million decrease in earnings at December 31, 2018. For variable rate debt outstanding for Virginia Power, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material change in earnings at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018. For variable rate debt outstanding for Dominion Energy Gas, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material change in earnings at December 31, 2019 and would have resulted in a $16 million decrease in earnings at December 31, 2018.
The Companies also use interest rate derivatives, including forward-starting swaps, interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements to manage interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas had $6.4 billion, $1.9 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $135 million, $88 million and $17 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas had $6.6 billion, $1.9 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $142 million, $94 million and $17 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2018.
Dominion Energy Gas holds foreign currency swaps with the purpose of hedging the foreign currency exchange risk associated with Euro denominated debt. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas had
€
250 million in aggregate notional amounts of these foreign currency swaps outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material decrease in fair value of Dominion Energy Gas’ foreign currency swaps at December 31, 2019 and would have resulted in a decrease of $8 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy Gas’ foreign currency swaps at December 31, 2018.
The impact of a change in interest rates on the Companies’ interest rate-based financial derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net gains and/or losses from interest rate derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction.
Investment Price Risk
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are subject to investment price risk due to securities held as investments in nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust funds that are managed by third-party

67

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
investment managers. These trust funds primarily hold marketable securities that are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.
Dominion Energy recognized net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019. Dominion Energy recognized net investment losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $135 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments as well as any other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Dominion Energy recorded, in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net increase in unrealized gains on debt investments of $74 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and recorded a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $36 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Virginia Power recognized net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $481 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Virginia Power recognized net investment losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $44 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments as well as any other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Virginia Power recorded, in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net increase in unrealized gains on debt investments of $30 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and recorded a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $21 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Dominion Energy sponsors pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans that hold investments in trusts to fund employee benefit payments. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas employees participate in these plans. Dominion Energy’s pension and other postretirement plan assets experienced aggregate actual returns (losses) of $2.1 billion and $(605) million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, versus expected returns of $848 million and $806 million, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ pension and other postretirement plan assets for employees represented by collective bargaining units experienced aggregate actual returns (losses) of $167 million and $(129) million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, versus expected returns of $70 million and $178 million, respectively. Differences between actual and
expected returns on plan assets are accumulated and amortized during future periods. As such, any investment-related declines in these trusts will result in future increases in the net periodic cost recognized for such employee benefit plans and will be included in the determination of the amount of cash to be contributed to the employee benefit plans. A hypothetical 0.25% decrease in the assumed long-term rates of return on Dominion Energy’s plan assets would result in an increase in net periodic cost of $23 million and $19 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for pension benefits and $5 million and $4 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for other postretirement benefits. A hypothetical 0.25% decrease in the assumed long-term rates of return on Dominion Energy Gas’ plan assets, for employees represented by collective bargaining units, would result in an increase in net periodic cost of $2 million and $4 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for pension benefits and $1 million as of December 31, 2018 for other postretirement benefits. This hypothetical decrease would result in an immaterial change in net periodic cost to Dominion Energy Gas for other postretirement benefits as of December 31, 2019.
Risk Management Policies
The Companies have established operating procedures with corporate management to ensure that proper internal controls are maintained. In addition, Dominion Energy has established an independent function at the corporate level to monitor compliance with the credit and commodity risk management policies of all subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Dominion Energy maintains credit policies that include the evaluation of a prospective counterparty’s financial condition, collateral requirements where deemed necessary and the use of standardized agreements that facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty. In addition, Dominion Energy also monitors the financial condition of existing counterparties on an ongoing basis. Based on these credit policies and the Companies’ December 31, 2019 provision for credit losses, management believes that it is unlikely that a material adverse effect on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations or cash flows would occur as a result of counterparty nonperformance.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Dominion Energy, Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dominion Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Dominion Energy”) at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dominion Energy at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), Dominion Energy’s internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 28, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on Dominion Energy’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Dominion Energy’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Dominion Energy’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Dominion Energy in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit
committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Investments—Equity Method Investment Impairment Evaluation—Refer to Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The investment balance of Dominion Energy’s equity method investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC (“Atlantic Coast Pipeline”) was $1.1 billion at December 31, 2019. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline project is the subject of challenges in federal courts, including, among others, challenges of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project’s biological opinion and incidental take statement, permits providing right of way crossings of certain federal lands, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit, the air permit for a compressor station at Buckingham, Virginia, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) order approving the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. The delays in obtaining and maintaining permits necessary for construction along with construction delays due to judicial actions have impacted the cost and schedule for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project; project construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2021, with full
in-service
in early 2022 with project costs estimated to be approximately $8 billion, excluding financing costs. Atlantic Coast Pipeline has reached agreements in principle with major customers to amend the contracted rate to share in certain delay cost increases, pending certain regulatory approvals.
Dominion Energy evaluated the carrying amount of its equity method investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline for an other-than-temporary impairment and determined that it was not impaired. The estimation of the fair value of Dominion Energy’s investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline, contained in the other-than-temporary impairment evaluation, involved significant judgments related to the resolution of outstanding permitting issues within the project timeframe and the likelihood of obtaining amended contacts with the customers.
Auditing management’s judgments regarding the resolution of outstanding permitting issues within the project timeframe and the likelihood of obtaining amended contacts with the customers involved especially subjective and complex judgment.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to this critical audit matter included the following, among others:

| • | We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s impairment analysis, including determination of the judgments regarding the resolution of the outstanding permitting issues within the project timeframe and the likelihood of obtaining amended contacts with the customers.

71

| • | We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s permitting, project timeframe, and customer contract assumptions by:

| • | Assessing the reasonableness of management’s plans to resolve outstanding permitting issues and the corresponding impact on project timeframes by inquiring with legal counsel and executive management and considering other potential outcomes.

| • | Assessing the reasonableness of the various projected in-service dates by inquiring with Atlantic Cost Pipeline’s project managers and engineers and comparing the in-service dates to the project’s timeframe.

| • | Obtaining and reading correspondence between Atlantic Coast Pipeline and the third-party pipeline construction contractor regarding the feasibility of the various projected in-service dates assumed by management.

| • | Obtaining and reading correspondence, including draft terms, between Atlantic Coast Pipeline and major customers.

| • | Searching for disconfirming evidence by listening to earnings calls, reading press releases, news articles and other publicly available information.

| • | We read and analyzed the minutes of the Board of Managers of Atlantic Coast Pipeline for discussions of changes in legal, regulatory, or business factors which could impact management’s assumptions of the resolution of the outstanding permitting issues within the project timeframe and the likelihood of obtaining amended contacts with the customers.

Preferred Stock—2019 Corporate Units—Refer to Notes 8 & 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
In June 2019, Dominion Energy issued $1.6 billion of 2019 Equity Units, initially in the form of 2019 Series A Corporate Units (the “2019 Equity Units”). Each 2019 Series A Corporate Unit consists of a stock purchase contract and a 1/10, or 10% undivided beneficial ownership interest in one share of Series A Preferred Stock. Beginning in June 2022, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into Dominion Energy common stock under a formula based upon the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock prior to the conversion date. The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable in cash by Dominion Energy beginning September 2022 at the liquidation preference. Settlement of any conversion is payable in cash, common stock, or a combination thereof, at Dominion Energy’s election.
The stock purchase contracts obligate the holders to purchase shares of Dominion Energy common stock in June 2022. The purchase price to be paid under the stock purchase contracts is $100 per Corporate Unit and the number of shares to be purchased will be determined under a formula based on the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock near the settlement date. The Series A Preferred Stock was pledged upon issuance as collateral to secure the purchase of common stock under the related stock purchase contracts. Dominion Energy identified no items that should be recorded as derivative instruments and
recorded the present value of the stock purchase contract payments as a liability offset to common stock and has recorded the Series A Preferred Stock within equity.
Given the complexity of the 2019 Equity Units structure and the judgments involved in applying the relevant accounting standards, auditing management’s conclusions on the balance sheet classification of the 2019 Equity Units involved the need for specialized skill and knowledge.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to this critical audit matter included the following, among others:

| • | We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s technical accounting assessment of the balance sheet classification of the components of the 2019 Equity Units.

| • | We read the applicable agreements and compared the key terms from the agreements to management’s analysis of the transaction.

| • | With the assistance of professionals in our firm having expertise in accounting for debt and equity instruments, we evaluated management’s conclusions regarding the balance sheet classification of the components of the 2019 Equity Units through evaluation of the terms within the applicable agreements and considering the applicable generally accepted accounting standards.

| • | We evaluated Dominion Energy’s disclosures related to the financial statement impacts of the transaction.

Regulatory Assets and Liabilities—Impact of Rate Regulation on the Consolidated Financial Statements—Refer to Notes 2, 12 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
Dominion Energy, through its regulated electric and gas subsidiaries, is subject to rate regulation by certain state public utility commissions and FERC (collectively, the “relevant commissions”) which have jurisdiction with respect to the rates of electric utility and natural gas distribution and transmission companies. Management has determined its rate-regulated subsidiaries meet the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to apply the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation. Accounting for the economics of rate regulation impacts multiple financial statement line items and disclosures, such as property, plant and equipment, net; regulatory assets; regulatory liabilities; operating revenues; other operations and maintenance expense; and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, collectively, the “financial statement impacts of rate regulation.”
Revenue provided by Dominion Energy’s electric transmission, distribution and generation operations and its gas transmission and distribution operations is based primarily on rates approved by the relevant commissions. Further, Virginia Electric and Power Company’s (“Virginia Power”) retail base rates, terms and conditions for generation and distribution services to customers in Virginia are reviewed by the Virginia Commission in a proceeding that involves the determination of Virginia Power’s actual earned return on equity (“ROE”) during a historic test period, and the determination of Virginia Power’s authorized

72 |  |  |  |  |  |

ROE prospectively. Under certain circumstances, Virginia Power may be required to refund a portion of its earnings to customers.
When it is probable that regulators will permit the recovery of current costs through future rates charged to customers, these costs that otherwise would be expensed by nonregulated companies are deferred as regulatory assets. Likewise, regulatory liabilities are recognized when it is probable that regulators will require customer refunds through future rates or when revenue is collected from customers for expenditures that have yet to be incurred. Dominion Energy evaluates whether recovery of its regulatory assets through future rates is probable as well as whether a regulatory liability due to customers is probable and makes various assumptions in its analyses. These analyses are generally based on orders issued by regulatory commissions, legislation and judicial actions; past experience; discussions with applicable regulatory authorities and legal counsel; forecasted earnings; and considerations around the likelihood of impacts from events such as unusual weather conditions, extreme weather events, and other natural disasters, and unplanned outages of facilities.
We identified the impact of rate regulation as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about the financial statement impacts of rate regulation. Management judgments include assessing the likelihood of (1) recovery of its regulatory assets through future rates and (2) whether a regulatory liability is due to customers. Given management’s accounting judgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of future decisions by the relevant commissions, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of the accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the assessment of whether recovery of regulatory assets through future rates or a regulatory liability due to customers is probable included the following, among others:

| • | We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over the evaluation of the likelihood of (1) recovery of regulatory assets through future rates, and (2) whether a regulatory liability is due to customers. We also tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over the initial recognition of amounts as regulatory assets or liabilities; and the monitoring and evaluation of regulatory developments that may impact the assessment of whether recovery of regulatory assets through future rates or a regulatory liability due to customers is probable.

| • | We evaluated Dominion Energy’s disclosures related to the consolidated financial statement impacts of rate regulation.

| • | We read and evaluated orders issued by the relevant commissions, as well as relevant regulatory statutes, interpretations, procedural memorandums, filings made by interveners, existing laws and other publicly available information to assess whether this external information was properly considered by management in concluding upon the financial statement impacts of rate regulation.

| • | We considered the likelihood of (1) recovery of regulatory assets through future rates and (2) whether a regulatory liability is due to customers based on precedence established by the relevant commissions’ previous orders and Dominion Energy’s past experience with the relevant commissions.

| • | For regulatory matters in process, we inspected associated documents and testimony filed with the relevant commissions for any evidence that might contradict management’s assertions.

| • | We read and analyzed the minutes of the Boards of Directors of Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy’s rate-regulated subsidiaries for discussions of changes in legal, regulatory, or business factors which could impact management’s conclusions with respect to the financial statement impacts of rate regulation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Virginia Electric and Power Company
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Virginia Electric and Power Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy, Inc.) and subsidiaries (“Virginia Power”) at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, common shareholder’s equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Virginia Power at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Virginia Power’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Virginia Power’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to Virginia Power in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Virginia Power is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Virginia Power’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
Dominion Energy Gas Holdings, LLC
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dominion Energy Gas Holdings, LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy, Inc.) and subsidiaries (“Dominion Energy Gas”) at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dominion Energy Gas at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Dominion Energy Gas’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Dominion Energy Gas’ consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to Dominion Energy Gas in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Dominion Energy Gas is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Dominion Energy Gas’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature Of Operations
Dominion Energy, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is one of the nation’s largest producers and transporters of energy. Dominion Energy’s operations are conducted through various subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Dominion Energy’s operations also include DESC, an equity investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline and regulated gas distribution operations primarily in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S. Dominion Energy’s nonregulated operations include merchant generation and retail energy marketing operations. See Note 3 for a description of operations acquired in the SCANA Combination.
Beginning December 2019, Dominion Energy manages its daily operations through five primary operating segments: Dominion Energy Virginia, Gas Transmission & Storage, Gas Distribution, Dominion Energy South Carolina and Contracted Generation. Dominion Energy also reports a Corporate and Other segment, which includes its corporate, service company and other functions (including unallocated debt). In addition, Corporate and Other includes specific items attributable to Dominion Energy’s operating segments that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segments’ performance or in allocating resources.
Virginia Power is a regulated public utility that generates, transmits and distributes electricity for sale in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Virginia Power is a member of PJM, an RTO, and its electric transmission facilities are integrated into the PJM wholesale electricity markets. All of Virginia Power’s stock is owned by Dominion Energy.
Beginning in December 2019, Virginia Power manages its daily operations through one primary operating segment: Dominion Energy Virginia. It also reports a Corporate and Other segment that primarily includes specific items attributable to its operating segment that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segment’s performance or in allocating resources.
Dominion Energy Gas is a holding company that conducts business activities through FERC-regulated interstate natural gas transmission pipeline and underground storage systems in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S., as well as the Cove Point LNG Facility. In addition, Dominion Energy Gas owns a 50% noncontrolling interest in both Iroquois and White River Hub. See Note 3 for more information on the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring. All of Dominion Energy Gas’ membership interests are held by Dominion Energy.
Beginning in December 2019, Dominion Energy Gas manages its daily operations through one primary operating segment: Gas Transmission & Storage. It also reports a Corporate and Other segment that primarily includes specific items attributable to its operating segment that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segment’s performance or in allocating resources and the effect of certain items recorded at Dominion Energy Gas as a result of Dominion Energy’s basis in the net assets contributed. In addition, Corporate and Other includes the net impact of discontinued operations, which is discussed in Note 3.
See Note 26 for further discussion of the Companies’ operating segments.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
General
The Companies make certain estimates and assumptions in preparing their Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses and cash flows for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The Companies’ Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, their accounts, those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries and
non-wholly-owned
entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. For certain partnership structures, income is allocated based on the liquidation value of the underlying contractual arrangements. At December 31, 2019 Dominion Energy owns 50% of the voting interests in Four Brothers and Three Cedars and has a controlling financial interest over the entities through its right to control operations. In August 2018, NRG’s ownership interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars was transferred to GIP. GIP’s ownership interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars, Terra Nova Renewable Partners’ 33% interest in certain Dominion Energy’s merchant solar projects, Brookfield’s 25% interest in Cove Point and the non-Dominion Energy held interest in Dominion Energy Midstream (through January 2019) are reflected as noncontrolling interest in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Terra Nova Renewable Partners has a future option to buy all or a portion of Dominion Energy’s remaining 67% ownership in certain merchant projects upon the occurrence of certain events, none of which are expected to occur in 2020. Brookfield’s
25
% interest in Cove Point and the public’s ownership interest in Dominion Energy Midstream (through January 2019)
are
reflected as noncontrolling interest in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Companies report certain contracts, instruments and investments at fair value. See Note 6 for further information on fair value measurements.
The Companies consider acquisitions or dispositions in which substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated into a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to be an acquisition or a disposition of an asset, rather than a business. See Notes 3 and 10 for further information on such transactions.
Dominion Energy maintains pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas participate in certain of these plans. See Note 22 for further information on these plans.
Certain amounts in the Companies’ 2018 and 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation for comparative purposes; however, such reclassifications did not affect the Companies’ net income, total assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows.
Amounts disclosed for Dominion Energy are inclusive of Virginia Power and/or Dominion Energy Gas, where applicable.
Operating Revenue
Operating revenue is recorded on the basis of services rendered, commodities delivered, or contracts settled and includes amounts

• | Other revenue consisted primarily of miscellaneous service revenue from electric distribution operations and miscellaneous revenue from generation operations, including sales of capacity and other commodities.

The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy Gas, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows:
Revenue from Contracts with Customers

• | Regulated gas sales—wholesale consist primarily of sales of natural gas to wholesale customers as permitted by FERC under DETI’s operating tariff;

• | Nonregulated gas sales consist primarily of sales of gas purchased from third parties and royalty revenues;

• | Regulated gas transportation and storage sales consist of FERC-regulated sales of transmission and storage services;

• | Nonregulated gas transportation and storage sales consist primarily of LNG terminalling services

• | Management service revenue consists primarily of services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline;

• | Other regulated revenue consists primarily of miscellaneous regulated revenues; and

• | Other nonregulated revenue consists primarily of miscellaneous service revenue.

Other Revenue

• | Other revenue consists primarily of gains and losses from derivative instruments not subject to hedge accounting.

The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy Gas, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows:

• | Regulated gas sales consisted primarily of sales of natural gas to wholesale customers as permitted by FERC under DETI’s operating tariff;

• | Nonregulated gas sales consisted primarily of sales of natural gas production at market-based rates and contracted fixed prices and sales of gas purchased from third parties. Revenue from sales of gas production was recognized based on actual volumes of gas sold to purchasers and was reported net of royalties;

• | Gas transportation and storage sales consisted primarily of FERC-regulated sales of transmission and storage services; and

• | Other revenue consisted primarily of miscellaneous service revenue, gas processing and handling revenue.

O
perating
revenue for East Ohio and DGP consists primarily of state-regulated natural gas sales and related distribution services, state-regulated gas distribution charges to retail distribution service customers opting for alternate suppliers and sales of NGL gathering and processing activities, and is included in net income from discontinued operations in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income
through November 6, 2019.
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record refunds to customers as required by state commissions as a reduction to regulated electric sales or regulated gas sales, as applicable. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s revenue accounted for under the
alternative revenue program guidance primarily consists of the equity return for under-recovery of certain riders. Alternative revenue programs compensate Dominion Energy and Virginia Power for certain projects and initiatives. Revenues arising from these programs are presented separately from revenue arising from contracts with customers in the categories above.
Revenues from electric and gas sales are recognized over time, as the customers of the Companies consume gas and electricity as it is delivered. Transportation and storage contracts are primarily stand-ready service contracts that include fixed reservation and variable usage fees. LNG terminalling services are also stand-ready service contracts, primarily consisting of fixed fees, offset by service credits associated with the
start-up
phase of the Liquefaction Facility. Fixed fees are recognized ratably over the life of the contract as the stand-ready performance obligation is satisfied, while variable usage fees are recognized when Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas have a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance obligation completed to date. Sales of products and services, including NGLs, typically transfer control and are recognized as revenue upon delivery of the product or service. The customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product at the time the product is delivered. The contract with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service purchased. Payment for most sales and services varies by contract type, but is typically due within a month of billing.
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas typically receive or retain NGLs and natural gas from customers when providing natural gas processing, transportation or storage services. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas record the fair value of NGLs received during natural gas processing as service revenue recognized over time, and continue to recognize revenue from the subsequent sale of the NGLs to customers upon delivery. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas typically retain natural gas under certain transportation service arrangements that are intended to facilitate performance of the service and allow for natural losses that occur. As the intent of the allowance is to enable fulfillment of the contract rather than to provide compensation for services, the fuel allowance is not included in revenue.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations. In order to minimize overall credit risk, credit policies are maintained, including the evaluation of counterparty financial condition, collateral requirements and the use of standardized agreements that facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty. In addition, counterparties may make available collateral, including letters of credit or cash held as margin deposits, as a result of exceeding agreed-upon credit limits, or may be required to prepay the transaction.
The Companies maintain a provision for credit losses based on factors surrounding the credit risk of their customers, historical trends and other information. Management believes, based on credit policies and the December 31, 2019 provision for credit losses, that it is unlikely that a material adverse effect on financial position, results of operations or cash flows would occur as a

|  |  |  |  | 99 |

result of counterparty nonperformance. Effective January 2020, expected credit losses will be estimated and recorded based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of financial assets held at amortized cost as well as expected credit losses on commitments with respect to financial guarantees.
Electric Fuel, Purchased Energy and Purchased
Gas-Deferred
Costs
Where permitted by regulatory authorities, the differences between Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s actual electric fuel and purchased energy expenses and Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ purchased gas expenses and the related levels of recovery for these expenses in current rates are deferred and matched against recoveries in future periods. The deferral of costs in excess of current period fuel rate recovery is recognized as a regulatory asset, while rate recovery in excess of current period fuel expenses is recognized as a regulatory liability.
Of the cost of fuel used in electric generation and energy purchases to serve Virginia utility customers, at December 31, 2019, approximately 84% is subject to Virginia Power’s deferred fuel accounting, while substantially all of the remaining amount is subject to recovery through similar mechanisms.
Virtually all of East Ohio, Questar Gas, Hope, DESC and PSNC’s natural gas purchases are either subject to deferral accounting or are recovered from the customer in the same accounting period as the sale.
Income Taxes
A consolidated federal income tax return is filed for Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ subsidiaries. In addition, where applicable, combined income tax returns for Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries are filed in various states; otherwise, separate state income tax returns are filed.
Although Dominion Energy Gas and certain of its subsidiaries are disregarded for income tax purposes, a provision for income taxes is recognized to reflect the inclusion of its business activities in the tax returns of its parent, Dominion Energy. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas participate in intercompany tax sharing agreements with Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries. Current income taxes are based on taxable income or loss and credits determined on a separate company basis.
Under the agreements, if a subsidiary incurs a tax loss or earns a credit, recognition of current income tax benefits is limited to refunds of prior year taxes obtained by the carryback of the net operating loss or credit or to the extent the tax loss or credit is absorbed by the taxable income of other Dominion Energy consolidated group members. Otherwise, the net operating loss or credit is carried forward and is recognized as a deferred tax asset until realized.
The 2017 Tax Reform Act included a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting the Companies, including changes in corporate tax rates and business deductions. The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduces the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are realized or
settled. Thus, at the date of enactment, federal deferred taxes were remeasured based upon the new 21% tax rate. The total effect of tax rate changes on deferred tax balances was recorded as a component of the income tax provision related to continuing operations for the period in which the law is enacted, even if the assets and liabilities relate to other components of the financial statements, such as items of accumulated other comprehensive income. For Dominion Energy subsidiaries that are not rate-regulated utilities, existing deferred income tax assets or liabilities were adjusted for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate and allocated to continuing operations. Dominion Energy’s rate-regulated utility subsidiaries likewise were required to adjust deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the change in income tax rates. However, if it is probable that the effect of the change in income tax rates will be recovered or refunded in future rates, the regulated utility recorded a regulatory asset or liability instead of an increase or decrease to deferred income tax expense.
Accounting for income taxes involves an asset and liability approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided, representing future effects on income taxes for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Accordingly, deferred taxes are recognized for the future consequences of different treatments used for the reporting of transactions in financial accounting and income tax returns. The Companies establish a valuation allowance when it is
more-likely-than-not
that all, or a portion, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Where the treatment of temporary differences is different for rate-regulated operations, a regulatory asset is recognized if it is probable that future revenues will be provided for the payment of deferred tax liabilities.
The Companies recognize positions taken, or expected to be taken, in income tax returns that are
more-likely-than-not
to be realized, assuming that the position will be examined by tax authorities with full knowledge of all relevant information.
If it is not
more-likely-than-not
that a tax position, or some portion thereof, will be sustained, the related tax benefits are not recognized in the financial statements. Unrecognized tax benefits may result in an increase in income taxes payable, a reduction of income tax refunds receivable or changes in deferred taxes. Also, when uncertainty about the deductibility of an amount is limited to the timing of such deductibility, the increase in income taxes payable (or reduction in tax refunds receivable) is accompanied by a decrease in deferred tax liabilities. Except when such amounts are presented net with amounts receivable from or amounts prepaid to tax authorities, noncurrent income taxes payable related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified in other deferred credits and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and current payables are included in accrued interest, payroll and taxes on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Companies recognize interest on underpayments and overpayments of income taxes in interest expense and other income, respectively. Penalties are also recognized in other income.
Interest expense for the Companies was immaterial in 2019 and 2018. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power both recognized interest income of $11 million in 2017. Dominion Energy Gas’ interest was immaterial in 2017. The Companies’ penalties were immaterial in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

100 |  |  |  |  |  |

At December 31, 2019, Virginia Power had an income
tax-related
affiliated payable of $35 million, comprised of $15 million of federal income taxes and $20 million of state income taxes due to Dominion Energy. Dominion Energy Gas also had a net affiliated receivable of $209 million due from Dominion Energy, representing $212 million of federal income taxes receivable and $3 million of state income taxes payable to Dominion Energy. The net affiliated receivables are expected to be received from Dominion Energy.
In addition, Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019 included $10 million of state income taxes receivable. State income taxes receivable at Virginia Power were immaterial at December 31, 2019.
At December 31, 2018, Virginia Power had an income
tax-related
affiliated receivable of $36 million, comprised of $34 million of federal income taxes and $2 million of state income taxes due from Dominion Energy. Dominion Energy Gas also had a net affiliated receivable of $271 million due from Dominion Energy, representing $277 million of federal income taxes receivable and $6 million of state income taxes payable to Dominion Energy. Virginia Power’s net affiliated receivables were received from Dominion Energy, and Dominion Energy Gas’ affiliated receivables are expected to be received from Dominion Energy.
In addition, Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 included $15 million of state income taxes receivable. State income taxes receivable at Virginia Power were immaterial at December 31, 2018.
Investment tax credits are recognized by nonregulated operations in the year qualifying property is placed in service. For regulated operations, investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the service lives of the properties giving rise to the credits. Production tax credits are recognized as energy is generated and sold.
Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents
Cash, restricted cash and equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and temporary investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
Current banking arrangements generally do not require checks to be funded until they are presented for payment. The following table illustrates the checks outstanding but not yet presented for payment and recorded in accounts payable for the Companies:

At December 31, |  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |

Virginia Power |  |  | 9 |  |  |  | 16 |
Dominion Energy Gas |  |  | 6 |  |  |  | 7 |

Restricted Cash and Equivalents
The Companies hold restricted cash and equivalent balances that primarily consist of amounts held for litigation settlements, customer deposits and future debt payments on SBL Holdco and Dominion Solar Projects III, Inc.’s term loan agreements and on Eagle Solar’s senior note agreement.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the total cash, restricted cash and equivalents reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets to the corresponding amounts reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017:

Distributions from Equity Method Investees
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas each hold investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas classify distributions from equity method investees as either cash flows from operating activities or cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows according to the nature of the distribution. Distributions received are classified on the basis of the nature of the activity of the investee that generated the distribution

|  |  |  |  | 101 |

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
as either a return on investment (classified as cash flows from operating activities) or a return of an investment (classified as cash flows from investing activities) when such information is available to Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas.
Derivative Instruments
The Companies are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products they market and purchase, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of their business operations. Dominion Energy uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage the commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of its business operations. Virginia Power uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage commodity and interest rate risks. Dominion Energy Gas uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures and swaps to manage commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks.
All derivatives, except those for which an exception applies, are required to be reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Derivative contracts representing unrealized gain positions and purchased options are reported as derivative assets. Derivative contracts representing unrealized losses and options sold are reported as derivative liabilities. One of the exceptions to fair value accounting, normal purchases and normal sales, may be elected when the contract satisfies certain criteria, including a requirement that physical delivery of the underlying commodity is probable. Expenses and revenues resulting from deliveries under normal purchase contracts and normal sales contracts, respectively, are included in earnings at the time of contract performance.
The Companies do not offset amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. Dominion Energy had margin assets of $42 million and $95 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Dominion Energy’s margin liabilities of $2 million and less than $1 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Virginia Power had margin assets of less than $1 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019. Virginia Power had no margin assets associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and no margin liabilities associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018. Dominion Energy Gas had no margin assets or liabilities associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018. See Note 7 for further information about derivatives.
To manage price risk, the Companies hold derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. However, to the extent the Companies do not hold offsetting positions for such derivatives, they believe these instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate their exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. All income statement activity, including amounts realized upon settlement, is presented in operating revenue, operating expenses, interest and related charges or other income based on the nature of the underlying risk.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments result in the recognition of regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities for jurisdictions subject to cost-based rate regulation. Realized gains or losses on the derivative instruments are generally recognized when the related transactions impact earnings.
Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedging Instruments
In accordance with accounting guidance pertaining to derivatives and hedge accounting, the Companies designate a portion of their derivative instruments as either cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges, the cash flows from the derivatives and from the related hedged items are classified in operating cash flows.
Cash Flow Hedges
-A majority of the Companies’ hedge strategies represents cash flow hedges of the variable price risk associated with the purchase and sale of electricity, natural gas and NGLs. The Companies also use interest rate swaps to hedge their exposure to variable interest rates on long-term debt as well as foreign currency swaps to hedge their exposure to interest payments denominated in Euros. For transactions in which the Companies are hedging the variability of cash flows, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in AOCI, to the extent they are effective at offsetting changes in the hedged item. Any derivative gains or losses reported in AOCI are reclassified to earnings when the forecasted item is included in earnings, or earlier, if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. For cash flow hedge transactions, hedge accounting is discontinued if the occurrence of the forecasted transaction is no longer probable.
Dominion Energy entered into interest rate derivative instruments to hedge its forecasted interest payments related to planned debt issuances in 2014. These interest rate derivatives were designated by Dominion Energy as cash flow hedges prior to the formation of Dominion Energy Gas. For the purposes of the Dominion Energy Gas financial statements, the derivative balances, AOCI balance, and any income statement impact related to these interest rate derivative instruments entered into by Dominion Energy have been, and will continue to be, included in the Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Financial Statements as the forecasted interest payments related to the debt issuances now occur at Dominion Energy Gas.
Fair Value Hedges
-Dominion Energy has also designated interest rate swaps as fair value hedges on certain fixed rate long-term debt to manage interest rate exposure. For fair value hedge transactions, changes in the fair value of the derivative are generally offset currently in earnings by the recognition of changes in the hedged item’s fair value. Hedge accounting is discontinued if the hedged item no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. See Note 6 for further information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives. See Note 7 for further information on derivatives.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at lower of original cost or fair value, if impaired. Capitalized costs include labor, materials and other direct and indirect costs such as asset retirement costs, capitalized interest and, for certain operations subject

102 |  |  |  |  |  |

to
cost-of-service
rate regulation, AFUDC and overhead costs. The cost of repairs and maintenance, including minor additions and replacements, is generally charged to expense as it is incurred.
In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy capitalized interest costs and AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $89 million, $134 million and $236 million, respectively. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power capitalized AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $34 million, $56 million and $37 million, respectively. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy Gas capitalized AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $31 million, $25 million and $34 million, respectively.
Under Virginia law, certain Virginia jurisdictional projects qualify for current recovery of AFUDC through rate adjustment clauses. AFUDC on these projects is calculated and recorded as a regulatory asset and is not capitalized to property, plant and equipment. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power recorded $11 million, $4 million and $22 million of AFUDC related to these projects, respectively.
For property subject to
cost-of-service
rate regulation, including Dominion Energy and Virginia Power electric distribution, electric transmission and generation property, Dominion Energy natural gas distribution and Dominion Energy Gas natural gas transmission property, the undepreciated cost of such property, less salvage value, is generally charged to accumulated depreciation at retirement. Cost of removal collections from utility customers not representing AROs are recorded as regulatory liabilities. For property subject to
cost-of-service
rate regulation that will be abandoned significantly before the end of its useful life, the net carrying value is reclassified from
plant-in-service
when it becomes probable it will be abandoned and recorded as a regulatory asset for amounts expected to be collected through future rates.
In 2019, Virginia Power had the following charges, primarily recorded in impairment of assets and other charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income
(reflected in the Corporate and Other segment),
related to early retirements:

| • | In January 2019, Virginia Power committed to a plan to retire certain automated metering reading infrastructure associated with its electric operations before the end of its estimated useful life and replace such equipment with more current AMI technology. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $160 million ($119 million after-tax). This charge is considered a component of Virginia Power’s base rates deemed recovered under the GTSA, subject to review as discussed in Note 13.

| • | In March 2019, Virginia Power committed to retire certain electric generating units before the end of their useful lives and completed the retirement of certain units at six facilities representing 1,292 MW of electric generating capacity, which had previously been placed in cold reserve. An additional unit at Possum Point power station will be retired after it meets its capacity obligation to PJM in 2021. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $346 million ($257 million after-tax ). This charge is considered a component of Virginia Power’s base rates deemed recovered under the GTSA, subject to review as discussed in Note 13.

| • | In May 2019, Virginia Power abandoned a coal rail project at its Mt. Storm generating facility. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $62 million ($46 million after-tax).

| • | In September 2019, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power abandoned certain property, plant and equipment before the end of its useful life. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $26 million ($19 million after-tax) and Virginia Power recorded a charge of $17 million ($12 million after-tax).

For property that is not subject to
cost-of-service
rate regulation, including nonutility property, cost of removal not associated with AROs is charged to expense as incurred. The Companies also record gains and losses upon retirement based upon the difference between the proceeds received, if any, and the property’s net book value at the retirement date.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed on the straight-line method based on projected service lives. The Companies’ average composite depreciation rates on utility property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Year Ended December 31, |  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
(percent) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Virginia Power expects to receive an updated depreciation study for its nuclear plants in the first
quarter
of 2020, which is anticipated to reflect lower depreciation rates as a result of expected approval of license extensions from the NRC.
In 2018, Virginia Power revised depreciation rates for regulated nuclear plants to comply with Virginia Commission requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2018, this adjustment resulted in a decrease of $60 million ($44 million
after-tax)
in depreciation expense in Virginia Power’s Consolidated Statement of Income and an increase to Dominion Energy’s EPS of $0.07 per share. This change resulted in an annual decrease in depreciation expense of $30 million ($23 million
after-tax).
In 2017, Virginia Power revised the depreciation rates for its assets to reflect the results of a new depreciation study. This change resulted in an increase in annual depreciation expense of $40 million ($25 million
after-tax)
for 2017. Additionally, Dominion Energy revised the depreciable lives for its merchant generation assets, excluding Millstone, which resulted in a decrease in annual depreciation expense of $26 million ($16 million
after-tax)
for 2017.
Virginia Power’s non-jurisdictional property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 30 years.

|  |  |  |  | 103 |

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Capitalized costs of development wells and leaseholds are amortized on a
field-by-field
basis using the
unit-of-production
method and the estimated proved developed or total proved gas and oil reserves, at a rate of $1.80 and $1.89 per mcfe in 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Dominion Energy’s nonutility property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Asset |  | Estimated Useful Lives |
Merchant generation-nuclear |  |  | 44 years |
Merchant generation-other |  |  | 15-30 years |
Nonutility gas gathering and processing |  |  | 3-50 years |
LNG facility |  |  | 40 years |
General and other |  |  | 5-59 years |

Depreciation and amortization related to Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ nonutility property, plant and equipment and exploration and production properties was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, except for Dominion Energy Gas’ nonutility LNG facility which is depreciated using the straight-line method over
an
estimated useful life of 40 years.
Nuclear fuel used in electric generation is amortized over its estimated service life on a
units-of-production
basis. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power report the amortization of nuclear fuel in electric fuel and other energy-related purchases expense in their Consolidated Statements of Income and in depreciation and amortization in their Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
The Companies perform an evaluation for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets or intangible assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. A long-lived or intangible asset is written down to fair value if the sum of its expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than its carrying amount. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. See Note 6 for further discussion on the impairment of long-lived assets.
Regulatory Assets and Liabilities
The accounting for the Companies’ regulated electric and gas operations differs from the accounting for nonregulated operations in that the Companies are required to reflect the effect of rate regulation in their Consolidated Financial Statements. For regulated businesses subject to federal or state
cost-of-service
rate regulation, regulatory practices that assign costs to accounting periods may differ from accounting methods generally applied by nonregulated companies. When it is probable that regulators will permit the recovery of current costs through future rates charged to customers, these costs that otherwise would be expensed by nonregulated companies are deferred as regulatory assets. Likewise, regulatory liabilities are recognized when it is probable that regulators will require customer refunds through future rates or when revenue is collected from customers for expenditures that have yet to be incurred.
The Companies evaluate whether or not recovery of its regulatory assets through future rates is probable as well as whether a regulatory liability due to customers is probable and makes various assumptions in its analyses. These analyses are generally based on:

• | Orders issued by regulatory commissions, legislation and judicial actions;

• | Past experience;

• | Discussions with applicable regulatory authorities and legal counsel;

• | Forecasted earnings; and

• | Considerations around the likelihood of impacts from events such as unusual weather conditions, extreme weather events and other natural disasters and unplanned outages of facilities.

Generally, regulatory assets and liabilities are amortized into income over the period authorized by the regulator. If recovery of a regulatory asset is determined to be less than probable, it will be written off in the period such assessment is made. A regulatory liability, if considered probable, will be recorded in the period such assessment is made or reversed into earnings if no longer probable. See Notes 12 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
Leases
The Companies lease certain assets including vehicles, real estate, office equipment and other operational assets under both operating and finance leases. For the Companies’ operating leases, rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement, subject to regulatory framework. Rent expense associated with operating leases, short-term leases and variable leases is primarily recorded in other operations and maintenance expense in the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Income. Rent expense associated with finance leases results in the separate presentation of interest expense on the lease liability and amortization expense of the related
right-of-use
asset in the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Income.
Certain of the Companies’ leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease from one to 70 years. The exercise of renewal options is solely at the Companies’ discretion and is included in the lease term if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. A
right-of-use
asset and corresponding lease liability for leases with original lease terms of one year or less are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, unless such leases contain renewal options that the Companies are reasonably certain will be exercised. Additionally, certain of the Companies’ leases contain escalation clauses whereby payments are adjusted for consumer price or other indices or contain fixed dollar or percentage increases. The Companies also have leases with variable payments based upon usage of, or revenues associated with, the leased assets.
The determination of the discount rate utilized has a significant impact on the calculation of the present value of the lease liability included in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the Companies’ fleet of leased vehicles, the discount rate is equal to the prevailing borrowing rate earned by the lessor. For the Companies’ remaining leased assets, the discount rate implicit in the lease is generally unable to be determined from a lessee perspective. As such, the Companies use internally-developed incremental borrowing rates as a discount rate in the calculation of the present value of the lease liability. The incremental borrowing rates are determined based on an analysis of the Companies’ publicly available unsecured borrowing rates, adjusted for a collateral discount, over various lengths of time that most closely correspond to the Companies’ lease maturities.

104 |  |  |  |  |  |

In addition, Dominion Energy acts as lessor under certain power purchase agreements in which the counterparty or counterparties purchase substantially all of the output of certain solar facilities. These leases are considered operating in nature. For such leasing arrangements, rental revenue and an associated accounts receivable are recorded when the monthly output of the solar facility is determined. Depreciation on these solar facilities is computed on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 30 years.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Companies recognize AROs at fair value as incurred or when sufficient information becomes available to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value of future retirement activities to be performed, for which a legal obligation exists. These amounts are generally capitalized as costs of the related tangible long-lived assets. Since relevant market information is not available, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. Quarterly, the Companies assess their AROs to determine if circumstances indicate that estimates of the amounts or timing of future cash flows associated with retirement activities have changed. AROs are adjusted when significant changes in the amounts or timing of future cash flows are identified. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with their natural gas pipeline and storage well assets as an adjustment to the related regulatory liabilities when revenue is recoverable from customers for AROs. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with decommissioning its nuclear power stations as an adjustment to the regulatory liability for certain jurisdictions. Additionally, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with certain rider and prospective rider projects as an adjustment to the regulatory asset for certain jurisdictions. Accretion of all other AROs and depreciation of all other asset retirement costs are reported in other operations and maintenance expense and depreciation expense, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Debt Issuance Costs
The Companies defer and amortize debt issuance costs and debt premiums or discounts over the expected lives of the respective debt issues, considering maturity dates and, if applicable, redemption rights held by others. Deferred debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction in long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of the issuance costs is reported as interest expense. Unamortized costs associated with redemptions of debt securities prior to stated maturity dates are generally recognized and recorded in interest expense immediately. As permitted by regulatory authorities, gains or losses resulting from the refinancing or redemption of debt allocable to utility operations subject to cost-based rate regulation are deferred and amortized.
Investments
Debt and Equity Securities with Readily Determinable Fair Values
Dominion Energy accounts for and classifies investments in debt securities as trading or
available-for-sale
securities. Virginia Power classifies investments in debt securities as
available-for-sale
securities.

• | Debt securities classified as trading securities include securities held by Dominion Energy in rabbi trusts associated with cer

tain deferred compensation plans. These securities are reported in other investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with net realized and unrealized gains and losses included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

• | Debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities include all other debt securities, primarily comprised of securities held in the nuclear decommissioning trusts. These investments are reported at fair value in nuclear decommissioning trust funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses (including any other-than-temporary impairments) on investments held in Virginia Power’s nuclear decommissioning trusts are recorded to a regulatory liability for certain jurisdictions subject to cost-based regulation. For all other available-for-sale debt securities, including those held in Dominion Energy’s merchant generation nuclear decommissioning trusts, net realized gains and losses (including any other-than-temporary impairments) are included in other income and unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of AOCI, after-tax.

In determining realized gains and losses for debt securities, the cost basis of the security is based on the specific identification method.
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values include securities held by Dominion Energy in rabbi trusts associated with certain deferred compensation plans and securities held by Dominion Energy and Virginia Power in the nuclear decommissioning trusts. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record all equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, or for which they are permitted to estimate fair value using NAV (or its equivalent), at fair value in nuclear decommissioning trust funds and other investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power may elect a measurement alternative for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Under the measurement alternative, equity securities are reported at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power qualitatively assess equity securities reported using the measurement alternative to determine whether an investment is impaired on an ongoing basis. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in Virginia Power’s nuclear decommissioning trusts are recorded to a regulatory liability for certain jurisdictions subject to cost-based regulation. For all other equity securities, including those held in Dominion Energy’s merchant generation nuclear decommissioning trusts and rabbi trusts, net realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Values
The Companies account for illiquid and privately held securities without readily determinable fair values under either the equity method or cost method. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values include:

• | Equity method investments when the Companies have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the

|  |  |  |  | 105 |

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

| investee. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ investments are included in investments in equity method affiliates in their Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas record equity method adjustments in other income and earnings from equity method investees, respectively, in their Consolidated Statements of Income, including their proportionate share of investee income or loss, gains or losses resulting from investee capital transactions, amortization of certain differences between the carrying value and the equity in the net assets of the investee at the date of investment and other adjustments required by the equity method.

• | Cost method investments when Dominion Energy and Virginia Power do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s investments are included in other investments and nuclear decommissioning trust funds. Cost method investments are reported at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
The Companies periodically review their investments in debt securities and equity method investments to determine whether a decline in fair value should be considered other-than-temporary. If a decline in the fair value of any security is determined to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to its fair value at the end of the reporting period.
Decommissioning Trust Investments —Special Considerations for Debt Securities

• | The recognition provisions of other-than-temporary impairment guidance apply only to debt securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.

• | Using information obtained from their nuclear decommissioning trust fixed-income investment managers, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record in earnings any unrealized loss for a debt security when the manager intends to sell the debt security or it is more-likely-than-not that the manager will have to sell the debt security before recovery of its fair value up to its cost basis. If that is not the case, but the debt security is deemed to have experienced a credit loss, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record the credit loss in earnings and any remaining portion of the unrealized loss in AOCI. Credit losses are evaluated primarily by considering the credit ratings of the issuer, prior instances of non-performance by the issuer and other factors.

Inventories
Materials and supplies and fossil fuel inventories are valued primarily using the weighted-average cost method. Stored gas inventory is valued using the weighted-average cost method, except for East Ohio gas distribution operations, which are valued using the LIFO method. Under the LIFO method, current stored gas inventory was valued at $19 million and $12 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Based on the average price of gas purchased during 2019 and 2018, the cost of replacing the current portion of stored gas inventory exceeded the amount stated on a LIFO basis by $60 million and $87 million, respectively. As a result of the Dominion Energy Gas
Restructuring, at December 31, 2018, East Ohio’s stored gas inventory is reported in current assets of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Dominion Energy Gas.
Gas Imbalances
Natural gas imbalances occur when the physical amount of natural gas delivered from, or received by, a pipeline system or storage facility differs from the contractual amount of natural gas delivered or received. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas value these imbalances due to, or from, shippers and operators at an appropriate index price at period end, subject to the terms of its tariff for regulated entities. Imbalances are primarily settled
in-kind.
Imbalances due to Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas from other parties are reported in other current assets and gas imbalances, respectively, and imbalances that Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas owe to other parties are reported in other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Goodwill
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas evaluate goodwill for impairment annually as of April 1 and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change in the interim that would more-
likely-than-not
reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
New Accounting Standards
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The Companies adopted this revised accounting guidance for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Upon the adoption of the standard, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas recorded the cumulative-effect of a change in accounting principle of $3 million to retained earnings and membership interests, respectively, and to establish a contract asset related to changes in the timing of revenue recognition for three existing contracts with customers at DETI.
As a result of adopting this revised accounting guidance, Dominion Energy records offsetting operating revenue and other energy-related purchases for
non-cash
consideration of performing processing and fractionation services related to NGLs. Such amounts at Dominion Energy were $107 million, recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2018. No such amounts were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2017. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas no longer record offsetting operating revenue and purchased gas for fuel retained to offset costs on certain transportation and storage arrangements. Such amounts at Dominion Energy were $111 million and at Dominion Energy Gas were $71 million, recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Financial Instruments
In January 2016, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance became effective for the Companies’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning

106 |  |  |  |  |  |

January 1, 2018 and the Companies adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption of this guidance for equity securities held at January 1, 2018, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power recorded the cumulative-effect of a change in accounting principle to reclassify net unrealized gains from AOCI to retained earnings and to recognize equity securities previously categorized as cost method investments at fair value (using NAV) in nuclear decommissioning trust funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power reclassified approximately $1.1 billion ($734 million
after-tax)
and $119 million ($73 million
after-tax),
respectively, of net unrealized gains from AOCI to retained earnings. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power also recorded approximately $36 million ($22 million
after-tax)
in net unrealized gains on equity securities previously classified as cost method investments, of which $3 million was recorded to retained earnings and $33 million was recorded to regulatory liabilities for net unrealized gains subject to cost-based regulation. As a result of adopting this revised accounting guidance, Dominion Energy recorded unrealized losses on equity securities, net of regulatory deferrals, of $190 million ($142 million
after-tax)
in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2018, resulting in an $0.22 loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2018. Virginia Power recorded unrealized losses on equity securities, net of regulatory deferrals, of $24 million ($18 million
after-tax)
in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leasing arrangements. The update requires that a liability and corresponding
right-of-use
asset are recorded on the balance sheet for all leases, including those leases classified as operating leases, while also refining the definition of a lease. In addition, lessees are required to disclose key information about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged.
The guidance became effective for the Companies’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019. The Companies adopted this revised accounting guidance using a modified retrospective approach, which requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the date of adoption. Under this approach, the Companies utilized the transition practical expedient to maintain historical presentation for periods before January 1, 2019. The Companies also applied the other practical expedients, which required no reassessment of whether existing contracts are or contain leases, no reassessment of lease classification for existing leases and no reassessment of existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases. In connection with the adoption of this revised accounting guidance, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas recorded $504 million, $209 million and $64 million, respectively, of offsetting
right-of-use
assets and liabilities for operating leases in effect at the adoption date. As a result of the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring, $25 million of such
right-of-use
assets and liabilities for operating leases recorded
at Dominion Energy Gas were associated with discontinued operations. See Note 15 for additional information.
Derecognition And Partial Sales Of Nonfinancial Assets
In February 2017, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance clarifying the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The guidance became effective for the Companies’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018, and the Companies adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption of the standard, Dominion Energy recorded the cumulative-effect of a change in accounting principle to reclassify $127 million from noncontrolling interests to common stock related to the sale of a noncontrolling interest in certain merchant solar projects completed in December 2015 and January 2016.
Net Periodic Pension And Other Postretirement Benefit Costs
In March 2017, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for the presentation of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs. This guidance became effective for the Companies beginning January 1, 2018 and requires that the service cost component of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs be classified in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees, while all other components of net periodic pension and other postretirement costs are classified outside of income from operations. In addition, only the service cost component remains eligible for capitalization during construction. These changes do not impact the accounting by participants in a multi-employer plan. The standard also recognizes that in the event that a regulator continues to require capitalization of all net periodic benefit costs prospectively, the difference would result in recognition of a regulatory asset or liability. For costs not capitalized for which regulators are expected to provide recovery, a regulatory asset will be established. As such, the amounts eligible for capitalization in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas, as subsidiary participants in Dominion Energy’s multi-employer plans, will differ from the amounts eligible for capitalization in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Dominion Energy, the plan administrator. These differences will result in a regulatory asset or liability recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Dominion Energy.
Tax Reform
In December 2017, the staff of the SEC issued guidance which clarifies accounting for income taxes if information is not yet available or complete and provided for up to a
one-year
measurement period in which to complete the required analyses and accounting. The guidance described three scenarios associated with a company’s status of accounting for income tax reform: (1) a company is complete with its accounting for certain effects of tax reform, (2) a company is able to determine a reasonable estimate for certain effects of tax reform and records that estimate as a provisional amount, or (3) a company is not able to determine a reasonable estimate and therefore continues to apply accounting for income taxes based on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the 2017 Tax

|  |  |  |  | 107 |

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Reform Act being enacted. The Companies have accounted for the effects of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, although additional changes could occur as guidance is issued and finalized as described below. In addition, the major states in which the Companies operate have addressed conformity with some or all of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, although some states have modified certain of these provisions.
In August 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued proposed regulations addressing the availability of federal bonus depreciation for the period beginning after September 27, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The application of these changes decreased Dominion Energy’s net operating loss carryforward utilization on its 2017 tax return. The impacts of proposed and final regulations issued in 2019 on the applicability of accelerated depreciation were immaterial at the Companies, as discussed in Note 5.
In November 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued proposed regulations defining interest as any amounts associated with the time value of money or use of funds. These proposed regulations provide guidance for purposes of the exception to the interest limitation for regulated public utilities, the application of the interest limitation to consolidated groups, such as Dominion Energy, and the interest limitation with respect to partnerships and partners in those partnerships. It is unclear when the guidance may be finalized, or whether that guidance could result in a disallowance of a portion of the Companies’ interest deductions in the future.
In February 2018, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance to provide clarification on the application of the 2017 Tax Reform Act for balances recorded within AOCI. The revised guidance provides for stranded amounts within AOCI from the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act to be reclassified to retained earnings. The Companies adopted this guidance for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, Dominion Energy reclassified a benefit of $289 million from AOCI to retained earnings, Virginia Power reclassified a benefit of $3 million from AOCI to retained earnings and Dominion Energy Gas reclassified a benefit of $26 million from AOCI to membership interests. The amounts reclassified reflect the reduction in the federal income tax rate, and the federal benefit of state income taxes, on the components of the Companies’ AOCI.
Note 3. Acquisitions And Dispositions
Dominion Energy
Acquisition of SCANA
In January 2019, Dominion Energy issued 95.6 million shares of Dominion Energy common stock, valued at $6.8 billion, representing 0.6690 of a share of Dominion Energy common stock for each share of SCANA common stock, in connection with the completion of the SCANA Combination. SCANA, through its regulated subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in the central, southern and southwestern portions of South Carolina and in the distribution of natural gas in North Carolina and South Carolina. In addition, at the closing of the SCANA Combination, SCANA
marketed natural gas to retail customers in the southeast U.S. Following completion of the SCANA Combination, SCANA operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy. In addition, SCANA’s debt totaled $6.9 billion at closing. The SCANA Combination expanded Dominion Energy’s portfolio of regulated electric generation, transmission and distribution and regulated natural gas distribution infrastructure operations.
Merger Approval and Conditions
Merger Approval
The SCANA Combination required approval of SCANA’s shareholders, FERC, the North Carolina Commission, the South Carolina Commission, the Georgia Public Service Commission and the NRC and clearance from the Federal Trade Commission under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. All such approvals were received prior to closing of the SCANA Combination.
Various parties filed petitions for rehearing or reconsideration of the SCANA Merger Approval Order. In January 2019, the South Carolina Commission issued an order (1) granting the request of various parties and finding that DESC was imprudent in its actions by not disclosing material information to the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff and the South Carolina Commission with regard to costs incurred subsequent to March 2015 and (2) denying the petitions for rehearing or consideration as to other issues raised in the various petitions. The deadline to appeal the SCANA Merger Approval Order and the order on rehearing expired in April 2019, and no party has sought appeal.
Refunds to Customers
As a condition to the SCANA Merger Approval Order, DESC will provide refunds and restitution of $2.0 billion over 20 years with capital support from Dominion Energy.
In September and October 2017, DESC received proceeds totaling $1.1 billion in full satisfaction of its share of a settlement agreement among DESC, Santee Cooper and Toshiba Corporation in connection with Westinghouse and WECTEC, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Toshiba Corporation and responsible for the engineering and construction of the NND Project, filing for bankruptcy. The purchase price allocation below includes a previously established regulatory liability at DESC totaling $1.1 billion, of which $67 million was considered current, associated with the monetization of the bankruptcy settlement with Toshiba Corporation. In accordance with the terms of the SCANA Merger Approval Order, this regulatory liability, net of amounts that may be required to satisfy any liens against NND Project property, totaling $1.0 billion will be refunded to DESC electric service customers over a
20-year
period ending in 2039.
Additionally, in the first quarter of 2019, DESC recorded a reduction in operating revenue and a corresponding regulatory liability of $1.0 billion, of which $137 million was considered current, representing a refund of amounts previously collected from retail electric customers of DESC for the NND Project to be credited over an estimated
11-year
period. As a result, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes a $756 million
after-tax
charge.

108 |  |  |  |  |  |

NND Project
As a condition to the SCANA Merger Approval Order, DESC committed to excluding from rate recovery $2.4 billion of costs related to the NND Project and $180 million of costs associated with the purchase of the Columbia Energy Center power station. Regulatory assets included in SCANA’s historical balance sheet at December 31, 2018 reflected these disallowances.
The remaining regulatory asset associated with the NND Project of $2.8 billion, of which $138 million was considered current, will be collected over a
20-year
period, including a return on investment. In January 2019, DESC filed the NND Project rider in accordance with the terms of the SCANA Merger Approval Order for rates effective in February 2019 for DESC’s retail electric customers. The South Carolina Commission approved this filing in January 2019.
Other Terms and Conditions

• | DESC will not file an application for a general rate case with the South Carolina Commission with a requested effective date earlier than January 2021;

• | PSNC will not file an application for a general rate case with the North Carolina Commission with a requested effective date earlier than April 2021;

• | Dominion Energy has committed to increasing SCANA’s historical level of corporate contributions to charities by $1 million per year over five years;

• | Dominion Energy will maintain DESC and PSNC’s headquarters in Cayce, South Carolina and Gastonia, North Carolina, respectively; and

• | Dominion Energy will seek to minimize reductions in local employment by allowing some DES employees supporting shared and common services functions and activities to be located in Cayce, South Carolina where it makes economic and practical sense to do so.

Purchase Price Allocation
SCANA’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been measured at estimated fair value at closing and are included in the Dominion Energy South Carolina, Gas Transmission & Storage and Gas Distribution operating segments. The majority of the operations acquired are subject to the rate setting authority of FERC and the North and South Carolina Commissions and are therefore accounted for pursuant to ASC 980,
Regulated Operations
. The fair values of SCANA’s assets and liabilities subject to rate-setting and cost recovery provisions provide revenues derived from costs, including a return on investment of assets and liabilities included in rate base. As such, the fair values of these assets and liabilities equal their carrying values. Accordingly, neither the assets and liabilities acquired, nor the unaudited pro forma financial information, reflect any adjustments related to these amounts.
The fair value of SCANA’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are not subject to the rate-setting provisions discussed above and the fair values of SCANA’s investments accounted for under the equity method have been determined using the income approach and the market approach. The valuation of SCANA’s long-term debt is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. All other valuations are considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant judgmental and unobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future market prices.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill. The goodwill reflects the value associated with enhancing Dominion Energy’s portfolio of regulated operations in the growing southeast region of the U.S. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for income tax purposes, and as such, no deferred taxes have been recorded related to goodwill.
The table below shows the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at closing, which reflects certain adjustments related to income taxes, as discussed in Note 5, from the preliminary valuation recognized during the measurement period.

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Dominion Energy incurred merger and integration-related costs of $646 million in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2019. The amount for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes $427 million for a charge related to a voluntary retirement program. See Note 22 for additional information. Of the remaining merger and integration-related costs, $210 million was recorded in other operations and maintenance expense and $9 million was recorded in interest and related charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, Dominion Energy incurred merger and integration-related costs of $27 million, recorded primarily in other operations and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. These costs consist of professional fees, the charitable contribution commitment described above, employee-related expenses, certain financing costs and other miscellaneous costs.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the consolidated results of operations of Dominion Energy assuming the SCANA Combination had taken place on January 1, 2018.

Sale of Interest In Cove Point
In October 2019, Dominion Energy signed an agreement to sell the 25% noncontrolling limited partnership interests in Cove Point not contributed to Dominion Energy Gas in the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring to Brookfield. In December 2019, the sale was completed and Dominion Energy received cash consideration of $2.1 billion, subject to working capital adjustments. The sale was accounted for by Dominion Energy following the guidance for a change in a parent company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary. Because Dominion Energy controls Cove Point both before and after the sale of the noncontrolling interest, the changes in Dominion Energy’s ownership interest in Cove Point was accounted for as an equity transaction and no gain or loss was recognized.

Dominion Energy Gas
Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring
The Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring is considered to be a reorganization of entities under common control. As a result, Dominion Energy Gas’ basis in DCP and DMLPHCII, which includes the general partner of Dominion Energy Midstream, a controlling 75% interest in Cove Point, DECG, Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, a 50% noncontrolling interest in White River Hub and a 25.93% noncontrolling interest in Iroquois, is equal to Dominion Energy’s cost basis in the assets and liabilities of such entities since the applicable inception dates of common control. In November 2019, following completion of the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring, DCP and DMLPHCII are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dominion Energy Gas and therefore are consolidated by Dominion Energy Gas. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes of Dominion Energy Gas have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of DCP and DMLPHCII. The 25% interest in Cove Point retained by Dominion Energy, and subsequently sold to Brookfield in December 2019, and the
non-Dominion
Energy held interest in Dominion Energy Midstream are reflected as noncontrolling interest.
The Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring includes the disposition of East Ohio and DGP by Dominion Energy Gas in November 2019. This restructuring represents a strategic shift in the operations of Dominion Energy Gas as Dominion Energy Gas’ operations consist
s
of LNG import/export and storage and regulated gas transmission and storage operations. As a result, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes of Dominion Energy Gas have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of East Ohio and DGP as discontinued operations until November 2019, presented within the Corporate and Other segment. As the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring is considered to be a reorganization of entities under common control, Dominion Energy Gas has reflected the disposition as an equity transaction.

Note 5. Income Taxes
Judgment and the use of estimates are required in developing the provision for income taxes and reporting of
tax-related
assets and liabilities. The interpretation of tax laws involves uncertainty, since tax authorities may interpret the laws differently. The Companies are routinely audited by federal and state tax authorities. Ultimate resolution of income tax matters may result in favorable or unfavorable impacts to net income and cash flows, and adjustments to
tax-related
assets and liabilities could be material.

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
The 2017 Tax Reform Act included a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting the Companies as discussed in Note 2. The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. At the date of enactment, deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured based upon the new 21% enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are realized or settled. The specific provisions related to regulated public utilities in the 2017 Tax Reform Act generally allow for the continued deductibility of interest expense, changed the tax depreciation of certain property acquired after September 27, 2017, and continued certain rate normalization requirements for accelerated depreciation benefits.
As indicated in Note 2, certain of the Companies’ operations, including accounting for income taxes, are subject to regulatory accounting treatment. For regulated operations, many of the changes in deferred taxes represent amounts probable of collection from or refund to customers, and were recorded as either an increase to a regulatory asset or liability. The 2017 Tax Reform Act included provisions that stipulate how these excess deferred
taxes may be passed back to customers for certain accelerated tax depreciation benefits. Potential refunds of other deferred taxes may be determined by the Companies’ regulators. See Note 13 for more information.
The Companies have accounted for the effects of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, although changes could occur as additional guidance is issued and finalized, particularly as it relates to the deductibility of interest expense in consolidated groups such as Dominion Energy. In addition, the major states in which the Companies operate have addressed conformity with some or all of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, although some states have modified certain of these provisions. The changes in deferred taxes resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform Act, and the Companies’ interpretations of proposed regulations issued in 2018 on the applicability of accelerated depreciation, were recorded as either an increase to a regulatory liability or as an adjustment to the deferred tax provision. The impacts of proposed and final regulations issued in 2019 on the applicability of accelerated depreciation were immaterial at the Companies.

(1) | The 2017 Tax Reform Act impact for Dominion Energy Gas includes an expense of $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and a benefit of $93 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 arising from discontinued operations.

The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduced the statutory federal income tax rate to 21% beginning in January 2018. Accordingly, current and deferred income taxes are recorded at the new 21% rate.
In 2019, the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring caused changes in tax status at certain of its subsidiaries. The impacts of the changes in tax status decreased deferred income tax expense by $48 million at Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas. In addition, Dominion Energy recognized a taxable gain resulting from the sale of a 25% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point. The direct tax effects of the transactions included a provision for current income taxes ($362 million) and an offsetting benefit for deferred income taxes ($147 million) and were charged to common shareholders’ equity. The utilization of $208 million federal tax credit carryforwards offsetting a portion of the federal tax liability from the transaction were also charged to common shareholders’ equity. In total, the taxes recorded in common shareholders’ equity resulting from this transaction were $215 million.
In 2018, Dominion Energy had less than $1 million of state deferred income tax expense as a result of the reversal of deferred taxes upon the sale of its interest in Blue Racer and Fairless and Manchester. Dominion Energy’s current federal income taxes primarily include the recognition of a $47 million benefit related to a carryback claim for specified liability losses involving prior tax years.
In 2017, the accounting for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate decreased deferred income tax expense by $851 million at Dominion Energy, $93 million at Virginia Power and $246 million for Dominion Energy Gas for the year ending December 31, 2017. The decrease in deferred income taxes at Dominion Energy primarily relates to the remeasurement of deferred taxes on nonregulated operations and includes the effects at Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas have certain regulatory assets and liabilities that have not yet been charged or returned to customers through rates, or on which they do not earn a return, including unrecognized pension and other postretirement benefits. The remeasurement of the deferred taxes on these regulatory balances was charged

114 |  |  |  |  |  |

to continuing operations in 2017. For ratemaking purposes, Dominion Energy Gas’ subsidiary DETI follows the cash method on pension contributions. Deferred taxes recorded on pension balances as required by GAAP are not included as a component of rates and therefore the remeasurement of these deferred taxes were charged to continuing operations in 2017.
Discontinued Operations—Dominion Energy Gas
Tax expense reported in discontinued operations for the period ended November 6, 2019 was $33 million. Tax expense reported in discontinued operations for years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 at Dominion Energy Gas was less than $1 million and $91 million, respectively. Tax expense for discontinued operations included benefits of utilizing an immaterial amount of operating loss carryforwards in 2018 and $5 million in 2017.
Continuing Operations
For continuing operations including noncontrolling interests, the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate reconciles to the Companies’ effective income tax rate as follows:

For the Companies’ rate-regulated entities, deferred taxes will reverse at the weighted average rate used to originate the deferred tax liability, which in some cases will be 35%. The Companies have recorded an estimate of excess deferred income tax amortization in 2019, and changes in estimates of amounts probable of collection from or return to customers. The reversal of these excess deferred income taxes will impact the effective tax rate, and may ultimately impact rates charged to customers. See Note 13 for current year developments.
In connection with the SCANA Combination, Dominion Energy committed to forgo, or limit, the recovery of certain income
tax-related
regulatory assets associated with the NND Project. Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate reflects deferred income tax expense of $194 million in satisfaction of this commitment. Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate also reflects the changes in consolidated state income taxes resulting from the SCANA Combination.
In 2018, the Companies applied the provisions of proposed regulations addressing the availability of federal bonus depreciation for the period beginning after September 27, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The application of these changes increased Dominion Energy’s 2017 net operating loss carryforward, the benefit of which will be recognized at the 21% rate. As a result, Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate reflects a $23 million increase to deferred income tax expense associated with the remeasurement of this deferred tax asset. The application of these proposed regulations at Dominion Energy Gas had no impact on income tax expense as the changes in, and remeasurement of, deferred tax liabilities increased regulatory liabilities by $35 million, of which $23 million is reflected in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effects of these changes at Virginia Power were immaterial. These amounts and adjustments represent the Companies’ best estimate based on available information, and could be subject to change based on additional guidance in yet to be finalized regulations. In addition, changes in estimates of amounts probable of return to or collection from customers increased deferred income tax expense at Virginia Power by $23 million and increased regulatory liabilities by $31 million. At Dominion Energy Gas similar changes in estimates decreased income tax expense by $5 million and regulatory liabilities by $8 million. In Dominion Energy Gas’ discontinued operations, similar changes in estimates increased income tax expense by $8 million, which is reflected in income tax expense from continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income, and regulatory liabilities $10 million, which are reflected in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes also impacted Dominion Energy. In addition, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ effective tax rates reflect the impacts of a state legislative change enacted in the second quarter of 2018 that was retroactive to January 1, 2018.
In 2017, the Companies’ effective tax rates reflect the net benefit of remeasurement of deferred taxes resulting from the lower corporate income tax rate promulgated by the 2017 Tax Reform Act, and the completion of audits by state tax authorities that resulted in the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2016, Virginia Power’s unrecognized tax benefits included state refund claims for open tax years through 2011. Management believed settlement of the claims, including interest thereon, within the next twelve months was remote. In June 2017, Virginia Power received and accepted a cash offer to settle the refund claims. As a result of the settlement, Virginia Power decreased its unrecognized tax benefits by $8 million, and recognized a $2 million tax benefit, which impacted its effective tax rate. Also in connection with this settlement, Virginia Power realized interest income of $11 million, which is reflected in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The most significant impact reflected for the 2017 Tax Reform Act is the adjustment of the net accumulated deferred income tax
liability for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate to 21%. In addition to amounts recognized in deferred income tax expense, the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act decreased the accumulated deferred income tax liability by $3.1 billion at Dominion Energy, $1.9 billion at Virginia Power and $0.8 billion at Dominion Energy Gas at December 31, 2017, of which $0.4 billion is reflected in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At Dominion Energy, the December 31, 2017 balance sheet reflected the impact of the 2017 Tax Reform Act on our regulatory liabilities which increased our regulatory liabilities by $4.2 billion, and created a corresponding deferred tax asset of $1.1 billion. At Virginia Power, our regulatory liabilities increased $2.6 billion, and created a deferred tax asset of $0.7 billion. At Dominion Energy Gas, regulatory liabilities increased $1.1 billion, of which $0.5 billion is reflected in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and created a deferred tax asset of $0.3 billion, of which $0.1 billion is reflected in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These adjustments had no impact on 2017 cash flows.
At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had the following deductible loss and credit carryforwards:

(1) | Acquired unrecognized tax benefits reflect $106 million plus increases in prior period positions of $76 million and decreases in prior period positions of $53 million that were recorded through purchase accounting.

Certain unrecognized tax benefits, or portions thereof, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Changes in these unrecognized tax benefits may result from remeasurement of amounts expected to be realized, settlements with tax authorities and expiration of statutes of limitations. For Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries, these unrecognized tax benefits were $141 million, $37 million and $31 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For Dominion Energy, the change in these unrecognized tax benefits increased income tax expense by $3 million and $5 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, and decreased income tax expense by $9 million in 2017. For Virginia Power, these unrecognized tax benefits were less than $1 million, $2 million, and $3 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For Virginia Power, the change in these unrecognized tax benefits decreased income tax expense by $2 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $6 million in 2017. For Dominion Energy Gas, these unrecognized tax benefits were $2 million, at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For Dominion Energy Gas, the change in these unrecognized tax benefits decreased income tax expense by less than $1 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $5 million in 2017.
Dominion Energy participates in the IRS Compliance Assurance Process which provides the opportunity to resolve complex tax matters with the IRS before filing its federal income tax returns, thus achieving certainty for such tax return filing positions agreed to by the IRS. In 2018, Dominion Energy submitted carryback claims for specified liability losses involving prior tax years. These claims are currently subject to IRS examination. With the exception of these claims, the IRS has completed its audit of tax years through 2018. The statute of limitations has not yet expired for tax year 2014 and years after 2015. Although Dominion Energy has not received a final letter indicating no changes to its taxable income for tax year 2018, no material adjustments are expected. The IRS examination of tax year 2019 is ongoing.
It is reasonably possible that settlement negotiations and expiration of statutes of limitations could result in a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits in 2020 by up to $86 million for Dominion Energy and less than $1 million for Dominion Energy Gas. If such changes were to occur, other than revisions of the accrual for interest on tax underpayments and overpayments, earnings could increase by up to $23 million for Dominion Energy and less than $1 million for Dominion Energy Gas.
Otherwise, with regard to 2019 and prior years, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas cannot estimate the range of reasonably possible changes to unrecognized tax benefits that may occur in 2020.
For each of the major states in which Dominion Energy operates, the earliest tax year remaining open for examination is as follows:

State |  | Earliest Open Tax Year |
Pennsylvania (1) |  |  | 2012 |
Connecticut |  |  | 2016 |
Virginia (2) |  |  | 2016 |
West Virginia (1) |  |  | 2016 |
New York (1) |  |  | 2015 |
Utah |  |  | 2016 |
South Carolina |  |  | 2012 |

(1) | Considered a major state for Dominion Energy Gas’ operations.

(2) | Considered a major state for Virginia Power’s operations.

The Companies are also obligated to report adjustments resulting from IRS settlements to state tax authorities. In addition, if Dominion Energy utilizes operating losses or tax credits generated in years for which the statute of limitations has expired, such amounts are generally subject to examination.
Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. However, the use of a
mid-market
pricing convention (the
mid-point
between bid and ask prices) is permitted. Fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. This includes not only the credit standing of counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements but also the impact of the Companies’ own nonperformance risk on their liabilities. Fair value measurements assume that the transaction occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability (the market with the most volume and activity for the asset or liability from the perspective of the reporting entity), or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability (the market in which the reporting entity would be able to maximize the amount received or minimize the amount paid). Dominion Energy applies fair value measurements to certain assets and liabilities including commodity, interest rate, and foreign currency derivative instruments, and other investments including those held in nuclear decommissioning, Dominion Energy’s rabbi, and pension and other postretirement benefit plan trusts, in accordance with the requirements discussed above. Virginia Power applies fair

value measurements to certain assets and liabilities including commodity and interest rate derivative instruments and other investments including those held in the nuclear decommissioning trust, in accordance with the requirements discussed above. Dominion Energy Gas applies fair value measurements to certain assets and liabilities including commodity, interest rate, and foreign currency derivative instruments and other investments including those held in pension and other postretirement benefit plan trusts, in accordance with the requirements described above. The Companies apply credit adjustments to their derivative fair values in accordance with the requirements described above.
Inputs and Assumptions
Fair value is based on actively-quoted market prices, if available. In the absence of actively-quoted market prices, price information is sought from external sources, including industry publications, and to a lesser extent, broker quotes. When evaluating pricing information provided by Designated Contract Market settlement pricing, other pricing services, or brokers, the Companies consider the ability to transact at the quoted price, i.e. if the quotes are based on an active market or an inactive market and to the extent which pricing models are used, if pricing is not readily available. If pricing information from external sources is not available, or if the Companies believe that observable pricing is not indicative of fair value, judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. In those cases the unobservable inputs are developed and substantiated using historical information, available market data, third-party data, and statistical analysis. Periodically, inputs to valuation models are reviewed and revised as needed, based on historical information, updated market data, market liquidity and relationships, and changes in third-party sources.
For options and contracts with option-like characteristics where observable pricing information is not available from external sources, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power generally use a modified Black-Scholes Model that considers time value, the volatility of the underlying commodities and other relevant assumptions when estimating fair value. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power use other option models under special circumstances, including but not limited to Spread Approximation Model and a Swing Option Model. For contracts with unique characteristics, the Companies may estimate fair value using a discounted cash flow approach deemed appropriate in the circumstances and applied consistently from period to period. For individual contracts, the use of different valuation models or assumptions could have a significant effect on the contract’s estimated fair value.
The inputs and assumptions used in measuring fair value include the following:
For commodity derivative contracts:

| • | Forward commodity prices

| • | Transaction prices

| • | Price volatility

| • | Price correlation

| • | Volumes

| • | Commodity location

| • | Interest rates

| • | Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies

| • | Credit enhancements

| • | Time value

For interest rate derivative contracts:

| • | Interest rate curves

| • | Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies

| • | Notional value

| • | Credit enhancements

| • | Time value

For foreign currency derivative contracts:

| • | Foreign currency forward exchange rates

| • | Interest rates

| • | Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies

| • | Notional value

| • | Credit enhancements

| • | Time value

For investments:

| • | Quoted securities prices and indices

| • | Securities trading information including volume and restrictions

| • | Maturity

| • | Interest rates

| • | Credit quality

Levels
The Companies also utilize the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

• | Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that they have the ability to access at the measurement date. Instruments categorized in Level 1 primarily consist of financial instruments such as certain exchange-traded derivatives, and exchange-listed equities, U.S. and international equity securities, mutual funds and certain Treasury securities held in nuclear decommissioning trust funds for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, benefit plan trust funds for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas, and rabbi trust funds for Dominion Energy.

• | Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 primarily include commodity forwards and swaps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps and cash and cash equivalents, corporate debt instruments, government securities and other fixed income investments held in nuclear decommissioning trust funds for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, benefit plan trust funds for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas and rabbi trust funds for Dominion Energy.

• | Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Instruments categorized in Level 3 for the Companies consist of long-dated commodity derivatives, FTRs, certain natural gas and power options and other modeled commodity derivatives.

118 |  |  |  |  |  |

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these cases, the lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. Alternative investments, consisting of investments in partnerships, joint ventures and other alternative investments held in nuclear decommissioning and benefit plan trust funds, are generally valued using NAV based on the proportionate share of the fair value as determined by reference to the most recent audited fair value financial statements or fair value statements provided by the investment manager adjusted for any significant events occurring between the investment manager’s and the Companies’ measurement date. Alternative investments recorded at NAV are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.
Transfers out of Level 3 represent assets and liabilities that were previously classified as Level 3 for which the inputs became observable for classification in either Level 1 or Level 2. Because the activity and liquidity of commodity markets vary substantially
between regions and time periods, the availability of observable inputs for substantially the full term and value of the Companies’
over-the-counter
derivative contracts is subject to change.
Level 3 Valuations
The Companies enter into certain physical and financial forwards, futures, options and swaps, which are considered Level 3 as they have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation. The discounted cash flow method is used to value Level 3 physical and financial forwards and futures contracts. An option model is used to value Level 3 physical and financial options. The discounted cash flow model for forwards and futures calculates
mark-to-market
valuations based on forward market prices, original transaction prices, volumes, risk-free rate of return, and credit spreads. The option model calculates
mark-to-market
valuations using variations of the Black-Scholes option model. The inputs into the models are the forward market prices, implied price volatilities, risk-free rate of return, the option expiration dates, the option strike prices, the original sales prices, and volumes. For Level 3 fair value measurements, certain forward market prices and implied price volatilities are considered unobservable.
The following table presents Dominion Energy’s quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements at December 31, 2019. The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs and percentages for price volatility.

Atlantic Coast Pipeline Guarantee Agreement
In October 2017, Dominion Energy entered into a guarantee agreement in connection with Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s obligation under a $3.4 billion revolving credit facility. See Note 23 for more information about the guarantee agreement associated with Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s revolving credit facility. Dominion Energy recorded a liability of $30 million, the fair value of the guarantee at inception, associated with the guarantee agreement. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow method and is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of a significant unobservable input related to the interest rate differential between the interest rate charged on the guaranteed revolving credit facility and the estimated interest rate that would have been charged had the loan not been guaranteed.
Dominion Energy Gas
In the fourth quarter of 2018, subsequent to the announcement of the sale of Dominion Energy’s interest in Blue Racer, Dominion Energy Gas conducted a review of strategic alternatives of its remaining gathering and processing assets at DGP. Based on an evaluation of DGP’s long-lived assets for recoverability under a probability weighted approach, Dominion Energy Gas determined the assets were impaired. As a result of this evaluation, Dominion Energy Gas recorded a charge of $219 million ($165 million
after-tax)
in discontinued operations in its Consolidated Statements of Income (reflected in
the
Corporate and Other segment) to write down DGP’s property, plant and equipment to its estimated fair value of $190 million. This charge was recorded in impairment of assets and related charges in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated
Statements of Income
(reflected in
the
Corporate and Other segment). The fair value of the property, plant and equipment was estimated using an income approach and market approach. The valuation is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant judgmental and unobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risks inherent in the future cash flows and market prices.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy with a separate reconciliation of fair value measurements categorized as Level 3. Fair value disclosures for assets held in Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans are presented in Note 22.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Substantially all of the Companies’ financial instruments are recorded at fair value, with the exception of the instruments described below, which are reported at historical cost. Estimated fair values have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies considered appropriate by management. The carrying amount of cash, restricted cash and equivalents, customer and other receivables, affiliated receivables, short-term debt, affiliated current borrowings, payables to affiliates and accounts payable are representative of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For the Companies’ financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value, the carrying amounts and estimated fair values are as follows:

December 31, |  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |
|  | Carrying Amount |  |  | Estimated Fair Value (1) |  |  | Carrying Amount |  |  | Estimated Fair Value (1) |

(1) | Fair value is estimated using market prices, where available, and interest rates currently available for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. All fair value measurements are classified as Level 2. The carrying amount of debt issuances with short-term maturities and variable rates refinanced at current market rates is a reasonable estimate of their fair value.

(2) | Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount or premium, and foreign currency remeasurement adjustments. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with Dominion Energy’s fixed rate debt of $4 million and $(20) million, respectively.

(3) | Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount or premium.

(4) | Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount or premium, and foreign currency remeasurement adjustments.

Note 7. Derivatives And Hedge Accounting Activities
See Note 2 for the Companies’ accounting policies, objectives, and strategies for using derivative instruments. See Note 6 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 Energy’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 and Dominion Energy Gas’ derivative contracts include
over-the-counter
transactions.
Over-the-counter
contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a third party. 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. See Note 24 for further information regarding credit-related contingent features for the Companies derivative instruments.

AOCI
The following table presents selected information related to gains (losses) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019:

|  | AOCI After-Tax |  |  | Amounts Expected to be Reclassified to Earnings During the Next 12 Months After-Tax |  |  | Maximum Term |
(millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Commodities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Gas |  | $ | (4 | ) |  | $ | (4 | ) |  |  | 24 months |

Foreign currency |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | (2 | ) |  |  | 78 months |
Total |  | $ | (407 | ) |  | $ | (50 | ) |  |  |  |

The amounts that will be reclassified from AOCI to earnings will generally be offset by the recognition of the hedged transactions (e.g., anticipated sales) 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.

(1) | Dilutive securities for 2018 consist primarily of forward sale agreements, effective April 2018 to December 2018. See Notes 17 and 19 for more information.

The 2019 Equity Units are potentially dilutive securities. The forward stock purchase contracts included within the 2019 Equity Units were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2019, as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. The Series A Preferred Stock included within the 2019 Equity Units is excluded from the effect of dilutive securities within diluted EPS, but a fair value adjustment is reflected within net income attributable to Dominion Energy for the calculation of diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2019 based upon the expectation that the conversion will be settled in cash rather than through the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock. The 2016 Equity Units were potentially dilutive securities, but were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. The Dominion Energy Midstream convertible preferred units were potentially dilutive securities but had no effect on the calculation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. In calculating diluted EPS in connection with the Dominion Energy Midstream convertible preferred units, Dominion Energy applied the
if-converted
method.

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline partnership agreement includes provisions to allow Dominion Energy an option to purchase additional ownership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline to maintain a leading ownership percentage. As of December 31, 2019, the members hold the following membership interests: Dominion Energy, 48%; Duke, 47%; and Southern, 5%.
Atlantic Coast Pipeline is focused on constructing an approximately
600-mile
natural gas pipeline running from West Virginia through Virginia to North Carolina. Subsidiaries and affiliates of all three members plan to be customers of the pipeline under
20-year
contracts. Atlantic Coast Pipeline is considered an equity method investment as Dominion Energy has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. See Note 16 for more information.
Dominion Energy recorded contributions of $186 million, $414 million and $310 million during 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, to Atlantic Coast Pipeline. At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had $7 million of contributions payable to Atlantic Coast Pipeline included within other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Dominion Energy did not receive distributions from Atlantic Coast Pipeline during 2019 and received distributions of $36 million and $270 million during 2018 and 2017, respectively.
In October 2017, Dominion Energy entered into a guarantee agreement to support a portion of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s obligation under its credit facility. See Note 23 for more information.
The Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project is the subject of challenges in federal courts including, among others, challenges of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project’s biological opinion and incidental take statement, permits providing right of way crossings of certain federal lands, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit, the air permit for a compressor station at Buckingham, Virginia, and the FERC order approving the CPCN. Each of these challenges alleges
non-compliance
on the part of federal and state permitting authorities and adverse ecological consequences if the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project is permitted to proceed. Since December 2018, notable developments in these challenges include a stay in December 2018 issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and the same court’s July 2019 vacatur of the biological opinion and incidental take statement (which stay and subsequent vacatur halted most project construction activity), U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit decisions vacating the permits to cross certain federal forests and the air permit for a compressor station at Buckingham, Virginia, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit’s remand to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s Huntington District 404 verification and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit’s remand to the National Park Service of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s Blue Ridge Parkway
right-of-way.
Atlantic Coast Pipeline continues to vigorously defend these challenges and is coordinating with the federal and state authorities to obtain new authorizations. Atlantic Coast Pipeline continues coordinating and working with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other parties in

preparation for a reissuance of the biological opinion and incidental take statement. In June 2019, the Solicitor General of the U.S. and Atlantic Coast Pipeline filed petitions requesting that the Supreme Court of the U.S. hear the case regarding the Appalachian Trail crossing. In February 2020, the Supreme Court of the U.S. heard oral arguments in the case and is expected to issue a ruling no later than June 2020. If a favorable ruling is not received, Atlantic Coast Pipeline is also evaluating possible legislative and administrative remedies to this issue.
Given the legal challenges described above and ongoing discussions with customers, project construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2021, with full
in-service
in early 2022, with project costs estimated to be approximately $8 billion, excluding financing costs. Atlantic Coast Pipeline has reached agreements in principle with
major
customers to amend the contracted rate to share in certain delay cost increases, pending certain regulatory approvals. Project construction activities, schedules and costs are also subject to uncertainty due to permitting and/or work delays (including due to judicial or regulatory action), abnormal weather and other conditions that could result in further cost or schedule modifications, a suspension of AFUDC for Atlantic Coast Pipeline and/or impairment charges potentially material to Dominion Energy’s cash flows, financial position and/or results of operations.
In February 2020, Dominion Energy entered into agreements with Southern to acquire its 5% membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline and its 100% ownership interest in Pivotal LNG, Inc., for approximately $175 million in aggregate, plus certain purchase price adjustments. Pivotal LNG, Inc. includes a 50% noncontrolling interest in JAX LNG, LLC, an LNG supplier in Florida serving the growing marine and truck LNG markets. The acquisitions are expected to close by the second quarter of 2020. Following completion of the acquisition, Dominion Energy will own a 53% noncontrolling membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline which will continue to be reflected as an equity method investment as the power to direct the activities most significant to Atlantic Coast Pipeline is shared with Duke.
Blue Racer
In December 2018, Dominion Energy sold its 50% limited partnership interest in Blue Racer for
up-front
cash consideration of $1.05 billion and additional consideration of $150 million, subject to increase for interest costs effective March 2019, payable upon the purchaser’s availability of cash. The additional consideration was recorded at a fair value of $150 million on the date of sale following a discounted cash flow model and is included within other receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2018. The valuation is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of judgment and unobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of future cash flows and a discount rate reflecting risks inherent in the future cash flows. As a result of the sale, Dominion Energy recognized a gain of $546 million ($390 million
after-tax),
included in other income in its Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, the purchaser agreed to pay additional consideration contingent upon the achievement of certain financial performance milestones of Blue Racer from 2019 through 2021. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the aggregate will not exceed $300 million, which represents a gain contingency,
and, as a result, Dominion Energy will not recognize any additional gain unless such consideration is realizable. In the first quarter of 2019, Dominion Energy received $151 million of additional consideration, including applicable interest, in connection with this sale. Blue Racer did not achieve the 2019 financial performance milestones set forth in the sale agreement.
Fowler Ridge & NedPower
In the fourth quarter of 2017, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $126 million ($76 million
after-tax)
in other income in its Consolidated Statements of Income reflecting its share of a long-lived asset impairment of property, plant and equipment recorded by NedPower, which resulted in losses in excess of Dominion Energy’s investment balance. Dominion Energy recorded the excess losses due to its commitment to provide further financial support for NedPower, resulting in a liability of $17 million at December 31, 2017, recorded to other deferred credits and other liabilities, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As a result of the impairment recorded by NedPower, Dominion Energy evaluated its equity method investment in Fowler Ridge, a similar wind-powered merchant generation facility, determined its fair value was other than-temporarily impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $32 million ($20 million
after-tax)
in other income in its Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of $81 million was estimated using a discounted cash flow method and is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs related to the timing and amount of future equity distributions based on the investee’s future wind generation and operating costs.
Wrangler
In September 2019, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to form Wrangler, a partnership with Interstate Gas Supply, Inc. Wrangler will operate a nonregulated natural gas retail energy marketing business with Dominion Energy contributing its nonregulated retail energy marketing operations and Interstate Gas Supply, Inc. contributing cash. Dominion Energy has a 20% noncontrolling ownership interest in Wrangler which is accounted for as an equity method investment as Dominion Energy has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee.
The initial contribution, consisting of SEMI, closed in December 2019 for which Dominion Energy received $301 million in cash proceeds and a 20% noncontrolling ownership interest in Wrangler with
an
initial fair value of $75 million estimated using the market approach. This valuation is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement given that it is based on the agreed-upon sales price. In connection with the transaction, Dominion Energy recorded a gain of $147 million, net of a $73 million
write-off
of goodwill, presented in gains on sales of assets, and an associated tax expense of $82 million, in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Over the next two years, under the terms of the agreement, Dominion Energy expects to contribute its remaining nonregulated retail energy marketing operations to Wrangler. As a result of these contributions, Dominion Energy will receive additional cash consideration which will be based upon future financial performance. When these future contributions occur, Dominion Energy expects to retain a 20% noncontrolling ownership interest in Wrangler.

138 |  |  |  |  |  |

As of December 31, 2019, $41 million of assets associated with Dominion Energy’s residential contracts to be contributed to Wrangler in December 2020 were classified as held for sale and were included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The related disposal group is primarily comprised of customer receivables and inventories.
All activity relating to Wrangler is recorded within Gas Transmission & Storage.
Other – Catalyst Old River Hydroelectric Limited Partnership
In September 2018, Dominion Energy completed the sale of its 25% limited partnership interest in Catalyst Old River Hydroelectric Limited Partnership and received proceeds of $91 million. The sale resulted in a gain of $87 million ($63 million
after-tax),
which is included in other income in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statement of Income.

are obligated to pay their share of all future construction expenditures and operating costs of the jointly-owned facilities in the same proportion as their respective ownership interest. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power report their share of operating costs in the appropriate operating expense (electric fuel and other energy-related purchases, other operations and maintenance, depreciation, depletion and amortization and other taxes, etc.) in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Sale of Certain Retail Energy Marketing Assets
In October 2017, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to sell certain assets associated with its nonregulated retail energy marketing operations for total consideration of $143 million, subject to customary approvals and certain adjustments. In December 2017, the first phase of the agreement closed for $79 million, which resulted in the recognition of a $78 million ($48 million
after-tax)
benefit, included in gains on sales of assets in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income. In October 2018, the second phase of the agreement closed for $63 million, which resulted in the recognition of a $65 million ($49 million
after-tax)
benefit included in gains on sales of assets in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Pursuant to the agreement, Dominion Energy entered into a commission agreement with the buyer upon the first closing in December 2017 under which the buyer will pay a commission in connection with the right to use Dominion Energy’s brand in marketing materials and other services over a
ten-year
term.
Sale of Certain Merchant Generation Facilities
In December 2018, Dominion Energy completed the sale of Fairless and Manchester for total consideration of $1.2 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. Dominion Energy recognized a gain of $210 million ($198 million
after-tax)
included in gains on sales of assets in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The
after-tax
gain reflects Dominion Energy’s assessment and
more-likely-than-not
conclusion that the utilization of state tax incentives will reduce the income tax expense associated with the sale of these facilities.

Assignment of Tower Rental Portfolio
Virginia Power rents space on certain of its electric transmission towers to various wireless carriers for communications antennas and other equipment. In March 2017, Virginia Power sold its rental portfolio to Vertical Bridge Towers II, LLC for $91 million in cash. The proceeds are subject to Virginia Power’s FERC-regulated tariff, under which it is required to return half of the proceeds to customers. Virginia Power recorded $7 million and $6 million in operating revenue
in 2019 and 2018, respectively,
and $11 million in other income
in
2017, with $22 million remaining to be recognized ratably through 2023.
Assignments of Shale Development Rights
In December 2013, Dominion Energy Gas closed on agreements with two natural gas producers to convey over time approximately 100,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights underneath several of its natural gas storage fields. The agreements provided for payments to Dominion Energy Gas, subject to customary adjustments, of approximately $200 million over a period of nine years, and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. In 2013 through 2016, Dominion Energy Gas received approximately $116 million of cash proceeds and through amendments closed on the immediate conveyance of approximately 9,000 acres and a 32% partial interest in the 70,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights, which resulted in the recognition of $78 million of gains. In August 2017, Dominion
Energy Gas and the natural gas producer signed an amendment to the agreement, which included the finalization of contractual matters on previous conveyances, the conveyance of Dominion Energy Gas’ remaining 68% interest in approximately 70,000 acres and the elimination of Dominion Energy Gas’ overriding
royalty interest in gas produced from all acreage. Dominion Energy Gas received total consideration of $130 million, with $65 million received in 2017 and $65 million received in September 2018 in connection with the final conveyance. As a result of this amendment, in 2017, Dominion Energy Gas recognized a $56 million ($33 million
after-tax)
gain included in gains on sales of assets in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income associated with the finalization of the contractual matters on previous conveyances, a $9 million ($5 million
after-tax)
gain included in gains on sales of assets in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income associated with the elimination of its overriding royalty interest and in 2018, a $65 million ($47 million
after-tax)
gain included in gains on sales of assets in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income associated with the final conveyance of acreage.
In November 2014, Dominion Energy Gas closed an agreement with a natural gas producer to convey over time approximately 24,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields. The agreement provided for payments to Dominion Energy Gas, subject to customary adjustments, of approximately $120 million over a period of four years, and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. In 2014 through 2016, Dominion Energy Gas received
approximately $70 million in proceeds on the conveyance of approximately 12,000 acres and as well as a 50% interest in approximately 4,000 acres along with an overriding royalty interest, which resulted in the recognition of $70 million of gains. In July 2017, in connection with the existing agreement, Dominion Energy Gas conveyed an additional 50% interest in approximately 2,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights and received proceeds of $5 million and an overriding royalty interest

As a result of issues generated in the ordinary course of business, the Companies are involved in various regulatory matters. Certain regulatory matters may ultimately result in a loss; however, as such matters are in an initial procedural phase, involve uncertainty as to the outcome of pending reviews or orders, and/or involve significant factual issues that need to be resolved, it is not possible for the Companies to estimate a range of possible loss. For regulatory matters that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the regulatory process such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For regulatory matters that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any estimated range is based on currently available information, involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties and may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such regulatory matters will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current matters not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
FERC

Electric
Under the Federal Power Act, FERC regulates wholesale sales and transmission of electricity in interstate commerce by public utilities. Virginia Power purchases and, under its market based rate authority, sells electricity in the PJM wholesale market and to

wholesale purchasers in Virginia and North Carolina. DESC sells electricity to wholesale purchasers in its balancing authority area under its electric cost based tariff and to wholesale purchasers outside of its balancing authority area under its market based rate authority. Dominion Energy’s merchant generators sell electricity in the PJM, CAISO and
ISO-NE
wholesale markets, and to wholesale purchasers in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana, Connecticut, Tennessee, Georgia, California, South Carolina and Utah, under Dominion Energy’s market-based sales tariffs authorized by FERC or pursuant to FERC authority to sell as a qualified facility. In addition, Virginia Power has FERC approval of a tariff to sell wholesale power at capped rates based on its embedded cost of generation. This cost-based sales tariff could be used to sell to loads within or outside Virginia Power’s service territory. Any such sales would be voluntary.
Rates
In April 2008, FERC granted an application for Virginia Power’s electric transmission operations to establish a forward-looking formula rate mechanism that updates transmission rates on an annual basis and approved an ROE effective as of January 1, 2008. The formula rate is designed to recover the expected revenue requirement for each calendar year and is updated based on actual costs. The FERC-approved formula method, which is based on projected costs, allows Virginia Power to earn a current return on its investment in electric transmission infrastructure.
In March 2010, ODEC and North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation filed a complaint with FERC against Virginia Power claiming, among other issues, that the incremental costs of undergrounding certain transmission line projects were unjust, unreasonable and unduly discriminatory or preferential and should be excluded from Virginia Power’s transmission formula rate. A settlement of the other issues raised in the complaint was approved by FERC in May 2012.
In March 2014, FERC issued an order excluding from Virginia Power’s transmission rates for wholesale transmission customers located outside Virginia the incremental costs of undergrounding certain transmission line projects. FERC found it is not just and reasonable for
non-Virginia
wholesale transmission customers to be allocated the incremental costs of undergrounding the facilities because the projects are a direct result of Virginia legislation and Virginia Commission pilot programs intended to benefit the citizens of Virginia. The order is retroactively effective as of March 2010 and will cause the reallocation of the costs charged to wholesale transmission customers with loads outside Virginia to wholesale transmission customers with loads in Virginia. FERC determined that there was not sufficient evidence on the record to determine the magnitude of the underground increment and held a hearing to determine the appropriate amount of undergrounding cost to be allocated to each wholesale transmission customer in Virginia.
In October 2017, FERC issued an order determining the calculation of the incremental costs of undergrounding the transmission projects and affirming that the costs are to be recovered from the wholesale transmission customers with loads located in Virginia. FERC directed Virginia Power to rebill all wholesale transmission customers retroactively to March 2010 within 30 days of when the proceeding becomes final and no longer subject to rehearing. In November 2017, Virginia Power,
North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation and the wholesale transmission customers filed petitions for rehearing. In July 2018, FERC denied the rehearing requests related to the October 2017 order determining the calculation of the undergrounding costs. Several parties have appealed FERC’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. In December 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit denied the appeal.
In January 2019, FERC issued an order denying PJM’s request to waive certain provisions of the PJM Tariff regarding the liquidation of a portfolio of FTRs owned by GreenHat who had defaulted on its financial obligations. As a result of FERC’s order, PJM is required to use the existing tariff provisions to liquidate GreenHat’s FTR portfolio and allocate the resulting costs to PJM members. In February 2019, PJM filed a request for clarification and rehearing with FERC. Also in February 2019, Virginia Power and certain other PJM members filed a request for rehearing with FERC. In June 2019, FERC established a hearing and settlement proceedings to address the issues raised in PJM’s request for clarification and rehearing. In October 2019, PJM submitted a settlement offer to FERC which was approved by FERC in December 2019. Based on the terms of the settlement, the impact to Virginia Power is expected to be immaterial.
FERC—G
as
In July 2017, FERC audit staff communicated to DETI that it had substantially completed an audit of DETI’s compliance with the accounting and reporting requirements of FERC’s Uniform System of Accounts and provided a description of matters and preliminary recommendations. In November 2017, the FERC audit staff issued its audit report which could have the potential to result in adjustments which could be material to Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ results of operations. In December 2017, DETI provided its response to the audit report. DETI requested FERC review of contested findings and submitted its plan for compliance with the uncontested portions of the report. In connection with one uncontested issue, DETI recognized a charge of $15 million ($9 million
after-tax)
recorded within impairment of assets and related charges in Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income
(reflected in the Corporate and Other segment)
during 2017 to
write-off
the balance of a regulatory asset, originally established in 2008, that is no longer considered probable of recovery. DETI recognized a charge of $129 million ($94 million
after-tax)
recorded primarily within impairment of assets and related charges in Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income
(reflected in the Corporate and Other segment)
during 2018 for a disallowance of plant, originally established beginning in 2012, for the resolution of one matter with FERC. Pending final resolution of the audit process and a determination by FERC, management is unable to estimate the potential impact of the remaining finding and no amounts have been recognized.
2017 Tax Reform Act
Subsequent to the enactment of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, the Companies’ state regulators issued orders requesting that public utilities evaluate the total tax impact on the entity’s cost of service and accrue a regulatory liability attributable to the benefits of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate. Certain of the orders requested that the public utilities submit a

146 |  |  |  |  |  |

response to the state regulatory commissions detailing the total tax impact on the utility’s cost of service.
The Companies began to reserve the impacts of the
cost-of-service
reduction as regulatory liabilities in January 2018 and will continue until rates are reset pursuant to state regulators’ approvals. The Companies have recorded a reasonable estimate of net income taxes refundable through future rates in the jurisdictions in which they operate and are currently assessing these actions and decisions, which could have a material impact on the Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
In September 2018, the Virginia Commission issued an order directing Virginia Power to submit a filing quantifying the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act in advance of the April 1, 2019 implementation as required by legislation, which filing was submitted in October 2018. In January 2019, Virginia Power filed updated testimony with a proposed annual revenue reduction of approximately $171 million. Additionally, Virginia Power proposed to issue a
one-time
bill credit to customers within 90 days of this effective date, to
true-up
the difference between the final revenue reduction for the period January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019 and the $125 million interim rate reduction implemented on July 1, 2018. In March 2019, the Virginia Commission issued an order approving an annual revenue reduction of approximately $183 million effective April 2019 and ordered Virginia Power to implement the
one-time
customer credit on or before July 1, 2019. In the second quarter of 2019, Virginia Power refunded to customers $132 million.
In August 2018, Virginia Power filed with FERC to waive protocols and begin reflecting projected tax reform benefits of approximately $100 million through the transmission formula rate prior to the normal formula rate process. FERC granted the waiver and the amounts began being reflected in customer billings in November 2018 reflecting the adjustment effective January 1, 2018.
In October 2018, the North Carolina Commission issued an order requesting companies file to reduce base rates expeditiously. Virginia Power made its compliance filing in October 2018 and submitted an annual base rate revenue decrease of approximately $14 million effective in early 2019. Virginia Power also proposed to issue a
one-time
bill credit in early 2019 for its 2018 tax savings collected provisionally from customers. In March 2019, the North Carolina Commission issued an order approving Virginia Power’s proposed annual base rate revenue decrease and
one-time
bill credit. In the second quarter of 2019, Virginia Power refunded to customers $13 million.
In March 2019, Questar Gas filed with the Utah and Wyoming Commissions as to the impact of excess deferred income taxes resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform Act. Questar Gas proposed to return the 2018 amortization of excess deferred income taxes to customers and to incorporate the remaining excess deferred income tax impact in its next general rate cases in each jurisdiction. In May 2019, the Utah Commission issued an order approving Questar Gas’ proposal to pass back the 2018 amortization of excess deferred income taxes over twelve months beginning in June 2019. The matter with the Wyoming Commission is pending.
In October 2018, the Ohio Commission issued an order requiring rate-regulated utilities to file an application reflecting the
impact of the 2017 Tax Reform Act on current rates by January 1, 2019. In December 2018, East Ohio filed its application proposing an approach to establishing rates and charges by and through which to return tax reform benefits to its customers. In December 2019, the Ohio Commission issued an order approving customer credits of approximately $600 million that will be shared with customers primarily over the remaining book life of the property to which the excess deferred income taxes relate. In addition, East Ohio will reduce rates approximately $19 million per year to account for the 2017 Tax Reform Act’s impact on its equity return component of rates charged to customers.
In connection with the SCANA Merger Approval Order, the South Carolina Commission approved DESC’s provision of approximately $100 million in bill credits related to the 2017 Tax Reform Act’s impact on retail electric customer rates for the period beginning January 2018 through January 2019. These credits have been included in bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle of February 2019. In addition, the South Carolina Commission approved a tax rider whereby the effects of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform Act will benefit retail electric customers. This tax rider reduced base rates to retail electric customers by approximately $63 million in 2019 and is expected to reduce these rates by $67 million in 2020.
In October 2018, the South Carolina Commission issued an order approving adjustment to DESC’s natural gas rate schedules, under the terms of the Natural Gas Rate Stabilization Act, to reflect the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate arising from the 2017 Tax Reform Act. The approved natural gas rate schedules also included a tax reform rate rider to refund certain income tax amounts previously collected from customers. These lower rates, representing a $20 million decreased revenue requirement, became effective for bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle in November 2018.
In December 2018, the North Carolina Commission issued an order approving PSNC’s proposed adjustments to customer rates, representing a $13 million decreased revenue requirement, to reflect the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate arising from the 2017 Tax Reform Act. These lower rates became effective for service rendered on and after January 1, 2019. Amounts collected in customer rates during 2018 and amounts arising from excess deferred income taxes have been recorded in regulatory liabilities and must be considered in PSNC’s next general rate case proceeding or in three years, whichever is sooner. The reduction in the federal corporate tax rate and its impact on PSNC’s various rate riders will be addressed in future proceedings related to those riders.
During 2018, Dominion Energy’s FERC-regulated pipelines, including those accounted for as equity method investments, filed the Form
501-G
with FERC. Dominion Energy Overthrust Pipeline, LLC, White River Hub, Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, DETI, DECG, Cove Point and Iroquois have reached resolution through a FERC waiver or FERC terminating the
501-G
proceeding, or through settlement, which did not result in a material impact to results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows of Dominion Energy or Dominion Energy Gas.

Other Regulatory Matters
V

R
egulation
The Regulation Act enacted in 2007 instituted a
cost-of-service
rate model, ending Virginia’s planned transition to retail competition for electric supply service to most classes of customers.
The Regulation Act authorizes stand-alone rate adjustment clauses for recovery of costs for new generation projects, FERC-approved transmission costs, underground distribution lines, environmental compliance, conservation and energy efficiency programs, renewable energy programs and nuclear license renewals, and also contains statutory provisions directing Virginia Power to file annual fuel cost recovery cases with the Virginia Commission. As amended, it provides for enhanced returns on capital expenditures on specific newly-proposed generation projects.
If the Virginia Commission’s future rate decisions, including actions relating to Virginia Power’s rate adjustment clause filings, differ materially from Virginia Power’s expectations, it may adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Grid Transformation and Security Act of 2018
In March 2018, the GTSA reinstated base rate reviews on a triennial basis, other than the first review which will be a quadrennial review, occurring for Virginia Power in 2021 for the four successive
12-month
test periods beginning January 1, 2017 and ending December 31, 2020. This review for Virginia Power will occur one year earlier than under the Regulation Act legislation enacted in February 2015.
In the triennial review proceedings, earnings that are more than 70 basis points above the utility’s authorized ROE that might have been refunded to customers and served as the basis for a reduction in future rates, may be reduced by Virginia Commission
-
approved investment amounts in qualifying solar or wind generation facilities or electric distribution grid transformation projects that Virginia Power elects to include in a customer credit reinvestment offset. The legislation declares that electric distribution grid transformation projects are in the public interest and provides that the costs of such projects may be recovered through a rate adjustment clause if not the subject of a customer credit reinvestment offset. Any costs that are the subject of a customer credit reinvestment offset may not be recovered in base rates for the service life of the projects and may not be included in base rates in future triennial review proceedings. In any triennial review in which the Virginia Commission determines that the utility’s earnings are more than 70 basis points above its authorized ROE, base rates are subject to reduction prospectively and customer refunds would be due unless the total customer credit reinvestment offset elected by the utility equals or exceeds the amount of earnings in excess of the 70 basis points. In the 2021 review, any such rate reduction is limited to $50 million.
The legislation also includes provisions requiring Virginia Power to provide current customers
one-time
rate credits totaling $200 million and to reduce base rates to reflect reductions in income tax expense resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform Act. As a result, Virginia Power incurred a $215 million ($160 million
after-tax)
charge in connection with this legislation, including the impact on certain
non-jurisdictional
customers which follow Virginia Power’s jurisdictional customer rate methodology. In July
2018 and January 2019, Virginia Power credited $138 million and $77 million, respectively, to current customers’ bills.
In addition, Virginia Power reduced base rates on an annual basis by $125 million effective July 2018, to reflect the estimated effect of the 2017 Tax Reform Act. In March 2019, the Virginia Commission directed an annual revenue reduction of $183 million in rates for generation and distribution services pursuant to the GTSA effective April 2019.
In July 2018, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission for approval of the first three years of its
ten-year
plan for electric distribution grid transformation projects as authorized by the GTSA. During the first three years of the plan, Virginia Power proposed to focus on the following seven foundational components of the overall grid transformation plan: (i) smart meters; (ii) customer information platform; (iii) reliability and resilience; (iv) telecommunications infrastructure; (v) cyber and physical security; (vi) predictive analytics; and (vii) emerging technology. The total estimated capital investment during 2019-2021 was $816 million and the proposed operations and maintenance expenses were $102 million. In January 2019, the Virginia Commission issued its final order approving capital spending for the first three years of the plan totaling $68 million on cyber and physical security and related telecommunications infrastructure (Phase IA). The Virginia Commission declined to approve the remainder of the proposed components for the first three years of the plan, the proposed spending for which was not found reasonable and prudent based on the record in the proceeding.
In September 2019, Virginia Power filed a revised plan which includes six components: (i) smart meters; (ii) customer information platform; (iii) grid improvement projects; (iv) telecommunications infrastructure; (v) cyber security; and (vi) a smart charging electric vehicle infrastructure pilot program (Phase IB). For Phase IB, the total proposed capital investment during 2019 – 2021 is $503 million and the proposed operations and maintenance investment is $78 million. This matter is pending.
Regulation Act
In March 2019, Virginia Power filed an application for the Virginia Commission to determine the general ROE for Virginia Power’s
non-transmission
rate adjustment clauses and for purposes of determining Virginia Power’s base rate earnings in the 2021 quadrennial review for the four successive
12-month
test periods beginning January 1, 2017 and ending December 31, 2020. The application supported a 10.75% ROE for these rate adjustment clauses and quadrennial review period. In November 2019, the Virginia Commission approved a 9.2% general ROE for Virginia Power.
Virginia Fuel Expenses
In May 2019, Virginia Power filed its annual fuel factor with the Virginia Commission to recover an estimated $1.5 billion in Virginia jurisdictional projected fuel expenses for the rate year beginning July 1, 2019 and the projected June 30, 2019 under recovered balance of $124 million. Virginia Power’s proposed fuel rate represented a fuel revenue decrease of $192 million when applied to projected kilowatt-hour sales for the period July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Subsequently in May 2019, Virginia Power revised its fuel factor filing to reduce the projected June 30, 2019

148 |  |  |  |  |  |

underrecovered balance to $107 million and a fuel revenue decrease of $254 million. In August 2019, the Virginia Commission approved Virginia Power’s fuel rate.
In February 2020, Virginia Power filed its annual fuel factor with the Virginia Commission to recover an estimated $1.2 billion in Virginia jurisdictional projected fuel expenses for the rate year beginning July 1, 2020 and a projected over-recovery of approximately $81 million for the prior year balance as of June 30, 2020. Virginia Power requested that the new fuel factor rate be implemented on an interim basis two months early, beginning on May 1, 2020. Virginia Power’s proposed fuel rate represents a fuel revenue decrease of approximately $393 million when applied to projected kilowatt-hour sales for the rate year beginning May 1, 2020. This matter is pending.
Battery Storage Pilot
In August 2019, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission to participate in a pilot program for electric power storage batteries, which includes three projects for deployment of battery energy storage systems. Virginia Power also requested an amended CPCN to construct and operate a battery energy storage system at Scott Solar. The projects are estimated to cost approximately $35 million.
In February 2020, the Virginia Commission approved the request.
Solar Facility Projects

• | In July 2018, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for CPCNs to construct two solar facilities. Colonial Trail West and Spring Grove 1 are estimated to cost approximately $410 million, excluding financing costs. Colonial Trail West commenced commercial operations in December 2019 and Spring Grove 1 is expected to commence commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2020. Virginia Power also applied for approval of Rider US-3 associated with these projects with a proposed $10 million total revenue requirement for the rate year beginning June 1, 2019. In January 2019, the Virginia Commission issued a final order granting CPCNs to construct the solar facilities, subject to a 20-year performance guarantee of the facilities at a 25% solar capacity factor when normalized for force majeure events. In April 2019, the Virginia Commission approved Rider US-3.

• | In July 2019, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for a CPCN to construct Sadler Solar, which is estimated to cost approximately $146 million, excluding financing costs. Sadler Solar is expected to commence commercial operations, subject to regulatory approvals associated with the project, in the fourth quarter of 2020. Virginia Power also applied for approval of Rider US-4 associated with this project with a proposed $9 million total revenue requirement for the rate year beginning June 1, 2020. In January 2020, the Virginia Commission issued a final order granting the CPCN to construct Sadler Solar, subject to a 20- year performance guarantee of the facility at a 22% solar capacity factor when normalized for force majeure events. This matter regarding Rider US-4 is pending.

Rate Adjustment Clauses
Below is a discussion of significant riders associated with various Virginia Power projects:

• | The Virginia Commission previously approved Rider T1 concerning transmission rates. In May 2019, Virginia Power

proposed a $920 million total revenue requirement consisting of $474 million for the transmission component of Virginia Power’s base rates and $446 million for Rider T1 for the rate year beginning September 1, 2019. This total revenue requirement represents a $271 million increase versus the revenues to be produced during the rate year under current rates. In July 2019, the Virginia Commission approved the filing.

• | The Virginia Commission previously approved Rider U in conjunction with cost recovery to move certain electric distribution facilities underground as authorized by Virginia legislation. In October 2019, the Virginia Commission approved Virginia Power’s proposed fourth phase of conversions totaling $123 million and a total $52 million revenue requirement for the rate year beginning February 1, 2020 for continuing recovery of the previously approved phase conversions and the proposed fourth phase conversions.

• | The Virginia Commission previously approved Riders C1A, C2A and C3A in connection with cost recovery for DSM programs. In December 2019, Virginia Power filed a petition to approve an additional 10 new energy efficiency programs and one new demand response DSM program for five years, subject to future extension, with a $186 million cost cap, and proposed a total $60 million revenue requirement for the rate year beginning September 1, 2020. This total revenue requirement represents an $11 million increase over the previous year.

• | In December 2018, Virginia Power filed a petition requesting approval of Rider E and proposed a $114 million total revenue requirement for the rate year beginning November 1, 2019. In August 2019, the Virginia Commission issued an order approving in part and denying in part the petition. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a $21 million ($16 million after-tax) charge in impairment of assets and other charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 to write-off certain disallowed environmental property, plant and equipment and regulatory assets. In August 2019, the Virginia Commission granted Virginia Power’s petition for reconsideration of the disallowed amount and stayed the order issued earlier in August 2019. In October 2019, the Virginia Commission approved Virginia Power’s request to implement a total revenue requirement of $104 million on an interim basis, subject to true-up, pending resolution of the petition for reconsideration. In November 2019, the Virginia Commission denied the petition for reconsideration and the $104 million total revenue requirement remains in effect.

• | Additional significant riders associated with various Virginia Power projects are as follows:

Rider Name |  | Application Date |  |  | Approval Date |  |  | Rate Year Beginning |  |  | Total Revenue Requirement (millions) |  |  | Increase (Decrease) Over Previous Year (millions) |

Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project
In November 2018, Virginia Power received approval from the Virginia Commission for its petition seeking a prudency determination as provided in the GTSA with respect to the proposed Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Pilot project consisting of two 6
MW wind turbine generators located approximately 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia in federal waters, and for a CPCN, for the generation tie line connecting the generators to shore. This project is expected to cost approximately $300 million and to be placed into service by the end of 2020.
Electric Transmission Projects
In November 2013, the Virginia Commission issued an order granting Virginia Power a CPCN to construct approximately 7 miles of new overhead 500 kV transmission line from the existing Surry switching station in Surry County to a new Skiffes Creek switching station in James City County, and approximately 20 miles of new 230 kV transmission line in James City County, York County, and the City of Newport News from the proposed new Skiffes Creek switching station to Virginia
Power’s existing Whealton substation in the City of Hampton. In February 2019, the transmission line project was placed into service. In March 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued an order vacating the permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued in July 2017 and ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to do a full environmental impact study of the project. In April 2019, Virginia Power and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers filed petitions for rehearing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, asking that the permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers remain in effect while an environmental impact study is performed. In May 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit denied the request for rehearing and ordered the U.S. District Court for the D.C. Circuit to consider and issue a ruling on whether the permit should be vacated during the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ preparation of an environmental impact statement. In November 2019, the U.S. District Court for the D.C. Circuit issued an order allowing the permit to remain in effect while an environmental impact study is performed. This matter is pending.
Additional significant Virginia Power electric transmission projects approved

North Carolina Base Rate Case
In March 2019, Virginia Power filed its base rate case and schedules with the North Carolina Commission. Virginia Power proposed a
non-fuel,
base rate increase of $27 million effective November 1, 2019 on an interim basis subject to refund, with any permanent rates ordered by the North Carolina Commission effective January 1, 2020. The base rate increase was proposed to recover the significant investments in generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure for the benefit of North Carolina customers. Virginia Power presented an earned return of 7.52% based upon a fully-adjusted test period, compared to its authorized 9.90% return, and proposed a 10.75% ROE. In September 2019, Virginia Power revised its filing to reduce the
non-fuel
base rate increase to $24 million. In January 2020, the North Carolina Commission approved a 9.75% ROE and disallowed certain costs associated with coal ash remediation at Chesterfield power station.
In February 2020, the North Carolina Commission issued its final order relating to base rates. Virginia Power is reviewing the order and assessing its options.
North Carolina Fuel Filing
In August 2019, Virginia Power submitted its annual filing to the North Carolina Commission to adjust the fuel component of its electric rates. Virginia Power proposed a total $18 million decrease to the fuel component of its electric rates for the rate year beginning February 1, 2020. In January 2020, the North Carolina Commission approved Virginia Power’s proposed fuel change adjustment.
South Carolina Regulation
DSM Programs
DESC has approval for a DSM rider through which it recovers expenditures related to its DSM programs. In January 2019, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission seeking approval to recover $30 million of costs and net lost revenues associated with these programs, along with an incentive to invest in such programs. In April 2019, the South Carolina Commission approved the request for the rate year beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2019.

In January 2020, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission seeking approval to recover $40 million of costs and net lost revenues associated with these programs, along with an incentive to invest in such programs. This matter is pending.
Natural Gas Rate Stabilization Act
In June 2019, DESC filed with the South Carolina Commission its monitoring report for the
12-month
period ended March 31, 2019 with a total revenue requirement of $437 million. This represents a $7 million overall increase to its natural gas rates under the terms of the Natural Gas Rate Stabilization Act effective for the rate year beginning November 2019. In October 2019, the South Carolina Commission approved a total revenue requirement of $436 million effective with the first billing cycle of November 2019.
Cost of Fuel
DESC’s retail electric rates include a cost of fuel component approved by the South Carolina Commission which may be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the price of fuel purchased by DESC. In April 2019, the South Carolina Commission approved DESC’s proposal to decrease the total fuel cost component of retail electric rates. DESC’s proposal included maintaining its base fuel component at the current level to produce a projected under-recovered balance of $35 million at the end of the
12-month
period beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2019 and requested carrying costs for any base fuel under-collected balances, should they occur. DESC also proposed reducing its variable environmental component and maintaining or reducing its distributed energy resource components. Changes in rates became effective beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2019.
In February 2020, DESC filed
a proposal
with the South Carolina Commission to decrease the total fuel cost component of retail electric rates. DESC’s proposed decrease would reduce annual base fuel component recoveries by approximately $44 million and is projected to return to customers the existing over-collected balance while recovering DESC’s current base fuel costs over the 12-month period beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2020. In addition, DESC proposed an increase to its variable environmental and distributed energy resource components. This matter is pending.
Electric Transmission Projects
In 2020, DESC expects to begin several electric transmission projects in connection with two new nuclear plants under development by Southern. These transmission projects are required to be in place prior to these plants beginning operations to maintain reliability. DESC anticipates the projects to go into service in phases, costing approximately $75 million in aggregate. In February 2020, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission requesting approval to construct and operate 28 miles of 230 kV transmission lines in Aiken County, South Carolina estimated to cost approximately $30 million. This matter is pending.
Ohio Regulation
PIR Program
In 2008, East Ohio began PIR, aimed at replacing approximately 25% of its pipeline system. In September 2016, the Ohio Commission approved a stipulation filed jointly by East Ohio and the Staff of the Ohio Commission to continue the PIR program and
associated cost recovery for another five-year term, calendar years
2017 through 2021, and to permit East Ohio to increase its annual capital expenditures to $200 million by 2018 and 3% per year thereafter subject to the cost recovery rate increase caps proposed by East Ohio.
In April 2019, the Ohio Commission approved East Ohio’s application to adjust the PIR cost recovery rates for 2018 costs. The filing reflects gross plant investment for 2018 of $202 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $1.6 billion and a revenue requirement of $190 million.
CEP Program
In 2011, East Ohio began CEP which enables East Ohio to defer depreciation expense, property tax expense and carrying costs at the debt rate of 6.5% on capital investments not covered by its PIR program to expand, upgrade or replace its pipeline system and information technology systems as well as investments necessary to comply with the Ohio Commission or other government regulation. In May 2019, East Ohio filed an application for an alternative rate plan to establish a CEP rider to recover existing
CEP-related
deferrals and to establish an ongoing recovery mechanism for future deferrals. The filing reflects cumulative gross plant investment of $723 million through 2018 and a revenue requirement of $83 million. This matter is pending.
West Virginia Regulation
PREP
In May 2019, Hope filed a PREP application with the West Virginia Commission requesting approval to recover PREP costs related to $29 million and $39 million of projected capital investment for 2019 and 2020, respectively. The application also includes a
true-up
of PREP costs related to the 2018 actual capital investment of $30 million and sets forth $10 million of annual PREP costs to be recovered in proposed rates effective November 1, 2019. In October 2019, the West Virginia Commission approved PREP rates effective November 1, 2019.
Utah And Wyoming Regulation
LNG Storage Facility
In April 2019, Questar Gas filed a request with the Utah Commission for
pre-approval
to construct an LNG storage facility with a liquefaction rate of 8.2 million cubic feet per day. In October 2019, the Utah Commission granted
pre-approval
to construct the LNG storage facility.
Utah Base Rate Case
In July 2019, Questar Gas filed its base rate case and schedules with the Utah Commission. Questar Gas proposed a
non-fuel,
base rate increase of $19 million effective March 2020. The base rate increase was proposed to recover the significant investment in distribution infrastructure for the benefit of Utah customers. Questar Gas presented an earned return of 9.05% based upon a fully-adjusted test period, compared to its authorized 9.85% return, and proposed a 10.5% ROE.
In February 2020, the Utah Commission approved a non-fuel, base rate increase of $3 million effective March 2020. This revenue requirement increase is based on an approved ROE of 9.50%.
Wyoming Base Rate Case
In November 2019, Questar Gas filed its base rate case and schedules with the Wyoming Commission. Questar Gas proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $4 million effective September 2020. The

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
base rate increase was proposed to replace aging infrastructure and expand its system. Questar Gas presented an earned return of
7.46%, based upon a fully-adjusted test period, compared to its authorized 9.5% return, and proposed a 10.5% ROE. This matter is pending.
Rural Expansion Program
In December 2019, Questar Gas filed an application with the Utah Commission for a CPCN to construct natural gas infrastructure to extend service to Eureka, Utah. The project is expected to include 11 miles of high-pressure pipeline and up to 360 service lines and to be in service in late 2021. Questar Gas also requested approval of a rural expansion rate adjustment tracker to recover the construction costs of the project. This matter is pending.
FERC—GAS
Cove Point
In February 2019, Cove Point submitted its annual electric power cost adjustment to FERC requesting approval to recover $24 million. FERC approved the adjustment in March 2019.
In June 2015, Cove Point executed two binding precedent agreements for the approximately $150 million Eastern Market Access Project. In January 2018, Cove Point received FERC authorization to construct and operate the project facilities. In October 2018, Cove Point announced it was evaluating alternatives to a proposed Charles County, Maryland compressor station that was initially part of this project and in December 2018, after working with project customers for alternative solutions, decided not to pursue further construction at this location resulting in a revised project estimate of approximately $45 million and a
write-off
of $37 million ($28 million
after-tax).
In May 2019, Cove Point filed an application for an amendment to vacate its FERC authorization for the Charles County, Maryland compressor station and revised its project scope. In August 2019, Cove Point received FERC authorization and the Eastern Market Access Project commenced commercial operations in September 2019.
In connection with the Eastern Market Access Project, in August 2019, Cove Point filed to update its annual electric power cost adjustment requesting FERC approval to recover $25 million, representing an increase of $1 million from the adjustment approved in March 2019. FERC approved the adjustment in August 2019.
In January 2020, pursuant to the terms of a previous settlement, Cove Point filed a general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services, with proposed rates to be effective March 1, 2020. Cove Point proposed an annual
cost-of-service
of approximately $182 million. Cove Point anticipates that FERC will suspend the changes in rates for five months following the proposed effective date, until August 1, 2020.
DETI
In
September 2019
, DETI submitted its annual transportation cost rate adjustment to FERC requesting approval to recover $
38
million. Also in
September 2019
, DETI submitted its annual electric power cost adjustment to FERC requesting approval to recover $
10
million. In
October 2019
, FERC approved these adjustments.
In December 2019, DETI filed an application to request FERC authorization to construct, operate and maintain the Tri-West project to provide 120,000 Dth per day of firm transportation service in from Pennsylvania to Ohio for delivery to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company. The project facilities are expected to cost approximately
$25 million and be in service by the end of 2020.
In August 2018, DETI executed a binding precedent agreement with a customer for the West Loop project. The project is expected to cost approximately $95 million and provide 150,000 Dth per day of firm transportation service from Pennsylvania to Ohio for delivery to a proposed combined-cycle, natural
gas-fired
electric power generation facility to be located in Columbiana County, Ohio. In December 2018, DETI filed an application to request FERC authorization to construct, operate and maintain the project facilities, which are expected to be in service by the end of 2021. In December 2019, DETI received FERC authorization.
In January 2018, DETI filed an application to request FERC authorization to construct and operate certain facilities located in Ohio and Pennsylvania for the Sweden Valley project. In June 2019, DETI withdrew its application for the project due to certain regulatory delays. As a result of the project abandonment, during the second quarter of 2019, DETI recorded a charge of $13 million ($10 million
after-tax),
included in impairment of assets and other charges in Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income
(reflected in the Corporate and Other segment)

Note 14. Asset Retirement Obligations
AROs represent obligations that result from laws, statutes, contracts and regulations related to the eventual retirement of certain of the Companies’ long-lived assets. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s AROs are primarily associated with the decommissioning of their nuclear generation facilities and ash pond and landfill closures. Dominion Energy Gas’ AROs primarily include plugging and abandonment of gas and oil wells and the interim retirement of natural gas gathering, transmission, distribution and storage pipeline components.
The Companies have also identified, but not recognized, AROs related to the retirement of the Cove Point LNG Facility, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ storage wells in their underground natural gas storage network, certain Virginia Power electric transmission and distribution assets located on property with easements, rights of way, franchises and lease agreements, Virginia Power’s hydroelectric generation facilities and the abatement of certain asbestos not expected to be disturbed in Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s generation facilities. The Companies currently do not have sufficient information to estimate a reasonable range of expected retirement dates for any of these assets since the economic lives of these assets can be extended indefinitely through regular repair and maintenance and they currently have no plans to retire or dispose of any of these assets. As a result, a settlement date is not determinable for these assets and AROs for these assets will not be reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements until sufficient information becomes available to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the activities to be performed. The Companies continue to monitor operational and strategic developments to identify if sufficient information exists to reasonably estimate a retirement date for these assets.

Corporate Office Leasing Arrangements
In July 2016, Dominion Energy signed an agreement with a lessor to construct and lease a new corporate office property in Richmond, Virginia. The lessor provided equity and obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $365 million, which funded total project costs. The project became substantially complete in August 2019 at which point the facility was available for Dominion Energy’s use and the five-year lease term commenced.
Upon commencement, the lease for the facility was classified as a finance lease. At the end of the initial lease term, Dominion Energy can (i) extend the term of the lease for an additional five years, subject to the approval of the participants, at current market terms, (ii) purchase the property for an amount equal to the project costs or, (iii) subject to certain terms and conditions, sell the property on behalf of the lessor to a third party using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the highest cash purchase price for the

154 |  |  |  |  |  |

property. If the project is sold and the proceeds from the sale are insufficient to repay the investors for the project costs, Dominion Energy may be required to make a payment to the lessor, up to 87% of project costs, for the difference between the project costs and sale proceeds. No
end-of-term
options were deemed reasonably certain of exercise at commencement date. At commencement, Dominion Energy recorded a
right-of-use
asset and offsetting lease obligation of $67 million, representing the present value of consideration over the five-year term at the rate implicit in the lease. Dominion Energy is considered the owner of the leased property for tax purposes, and as a result, is entitled to tax deductions for depreciation and interest expense.
In December 2019, Dominion Energy signed an agreement with a lessor to construct and lease a new corporate office property in Richmond, Virginia. The lessor is providing equity and has obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $465 million, to fund the estimated project costs.
If Dominion Energy ultimately proceeds with the
project
through completion, it
is
not
expected to be completed
earlier than
mid-2023.
Dominion Energy has been appointed to act as the construction agent for the lessor, during which time Dominion Energy will request cash draws from the lessor and debt investors to fund all project costs. If the project is terminated under certain events of default, Dominion Energy could be required to pay up to 89.9% of the then funded amount. For specific full recourse events, Dominion Energy could be required to pay up to 100% of the then funded amount.
The
51-month
lease term will commence once construction is substantially complete and the facility is able to be occupied. At the end of the initial lease term, Dominion Energy can (i) extend the term of the lease for an additional five years, subject to the approval of the participants, at current market terms, (ii) purchase the property for an amount equal to the project costs or, (iii) subject to certain terms and conditions, sell the property on behalf of the lessor to a third party using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the highest cash purchase price for the property. If the project is sold and the proceeds from the sale are insufficient to repay the investors for the project costs, Dominion Energy may be required to make a payment to the lessor, up to 83% of project costs, for the difference between the project costs and sale proceeds.
Dominion Energy is not considered the owner during construction for financial accounting purposes and, therefore, will not reflect the construction activity in its consolidated financial statements. Dominion Energy expects to recognize a
right-of-use
asset and a corresponding finance lease liability at the commencement of the lease term. Dominion Energy will be considered the owner of the leased property for tax purposes, and as a result, will be entitled to tax deductions for depreciation and interest expense.
Note 16. Variable Interest Entities
The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE and to disclose certain information about its significant variable interests in the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has both 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and 2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy owns the manager and 67% of the membership interest in certain merchant solar facilities, as discussed in Note 2. Dominion Energy has concluded that these entities are VIEs due to the members lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. In addition, in 2016 Dominion Energy created a wholly owned subsidiary, SBL Holdco, as a holding company of its interest in the VIE merchant solar facilities and accordingly SBL Holdco is a VIE. Dominion Energy is the primary beneficiary of SBL Holdco and the merchant solar facilities, as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to them. Dominion Energy’s securities due within one year and long-term debt include $31 million and $267 million, respectively, of debt issued by SBL Holdco net of issuance costs that is nonrecourse to Dominion Energy and is secured by SBL Holdco’s interest in certain merchant solar facilities.
Dominion Energy owns a 48% membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. See Note 9 for more details regarding the nature of this entity. Dominion Energy concluded that Atlantic Coast Pipeline is a VIE because it has insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. Dominion Energy has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of Atlantic Coast Pipeline as it does not have the power to direct the activities of Atlantic Coast Pipeline that most significantly impact its economic performance, as the power to direct is shared among multiple unrelated parties. In February 2020, Dominion Energy entered an agreement to acquire Southern’s 5% membership interest which is expected to close by the second quarter of 2020. Following completion of the acquisition, Dominion Energy will own a 53% noncontrolling membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline which is not expected to change Dominion Energy’s conclusion that it is not the primary beneficiary as the power to direct the activities most significant to Atlantic Coast Pipeline will be shared with Duke. Dominion Energy is obligated to provide capital contributions based on its ownership percentage. Dominion Energy’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its current and future investment as well as any obligations under a guarantee provided. See Note 23 for more information.
Dominion Energy previously concluded that Dominion Energy Midstream was a VIE due to the limited partners lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and that it was the primary beneficiary as it had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance as well as to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to Dominion Energy Midstream. In January 2019, Dominion Energy acquired all outstanding partnership interests not owned by Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Midstream became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy. As a result, Dominion Energy concluded that Dominion Energy Midstream is no longer a VIE.
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear decommissioning trust funds and Dominion Energy’s rabbi trusts hold investments in limited partnerships or similar type entities (see Note 9 for further details). Dominion Energy and Virginia Power concluded that these partnership investments are VIEs due to the limited partners lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have concluded neither is the primary beneficiary as they do not have the power to

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
direct the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are obligated to provide capital contributions to the partnerships
as
required
by each partnership agreement based on their ownership percentages. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to their current and future investments.
Virginia Power
Virginia Power had a long-term power and capacity contract with one
non-utility
generator with an aggregate summer generation capacity of approximately 218 MW. The contract contained certain variable pricing mechanisms in the form of partial fuel reimbursement that Virginia Power considered to be variable interests and for which Virginia Power had previously concluded if the generation facility were to be a VIE that it would not be the primary beneficiary. In May 2019, Virginia Power entered into an agreement and paid $135 million to terminate the remaining contract with the
non-utility
generator. A $135 million ($100 million
after-tax)
charge was recorded in impairment of assets and other charges in Virginia Power’s Consolidated Statements of Income during the second quarter of 2019. Virginia Power paid $13 million, $50 million, and $86 million for electric capacity to
non-utility
generators and $1 million, $18 million and $24 million for electric energy to
non-utility
generators for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas
As part of the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring, Dominion Energy contributed to Dominion Energy Gas a 75% controlling limited partner interest in Cove Point. In December 2019, Dominion Energy sold its retained 25% noncontrolling limited partner interest in Cove Point. Dominion Energy Gas concluded that Cove Point is a VIE due to the limited partners lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Dominion Energy Gas is the primary beneficiary of Cove Point as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to it.
Dominion Energy Gas
DETI has been engaged to oversee the construction of, and to subsequently operate and maintain, the projects undertaken by Atlantic Coast Pipeline based on the overall direction and oversight of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s members. An affiliate of DETI holds a membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline, therefore DETI is considered to have a variable interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. The members of Atlantic Coast Pipeline hold the power to direct the construction, operations and maintenance activities of the entity. DETI has concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Atlantic Coast Pipeline as it does not have the power to direct the activities of Atlantic Coast Pipeline that most significantly impact its economic performance. DETI has no obligation to absorb any losses of the VIE. See Note 25 for information about associated related party receivable balances.
Dominion Energy Gas purchased shared services from DECGS and DEQPS, affiliated VIEs, of $49 million, $45 million and $45 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheets included amounts due to DECGS and DEQPS of $15 million and $6 million at December 31, 2019 and at December 31, 2018, respectively.
Dominion Energy
Gas determined that neither it nor any of its consolidated entities is the primary beneficiary of DECGS or DEQPS, as neither it nor any of its consolidated entities has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to them. DECGS and DEQPS provide
marketing
and operation
al
services to Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries as subsidiary service companies. Neither Dominion Energy Gas nor any of its consolidated entities has any obligation to absorb more than its allocated share of DECGS or DEQPS costs.
Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas
Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas purchased shared services from DES, an affiliated VIE, of $387 million and $119 million, $335 million and $106 million, and $340 million and $106 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheets included amounts due to DES of $102 million and $27 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019, and $107 million and $43 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018, recorded in payables to affiliates in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas determined that neither is the primary beneficiary of DES as neither has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to it. DES provides accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services to all Dominion Energy subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas have no obligation to absorb more than their allocated shares of DES costs.
Note 17. Short-term Debt and Credit Agreements
The Companies use short-term debt to fund working capital requirements and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the year, depending upon the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. In addition, Dominion Energy utilizes cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements. Collateral requirements are impacted by commodity prices, hedging levels, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings and the credit quality of its counterparties.
Dominion Energy
Dominion Energy’s short-term financing is supported through its access to the joint revolving credit facility described below. Commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding, as well as capacity available under the credit facility were as follows:

Remarketable Subordinated Notes
In July 2014, Dominion Energy issued $1.0 billion of 2014 Series A 6.375% Equity Units, initially in the form of Corporate Units. In August 2016, Dominion Energy issued $1.4 billion of 2016 Series A 6.75% Equity Units, initially in the form of Corporate
Units. The Corporate Units were listed on the NYSE under the symbols DCUC and DCUD, respectively.
Each 2014 Series A Corporate Unit consisted of a stock purchase contract and 1/20 interest in a RSN issued by Dominion Energy. Each 2016 Series A Corporate Unit consisted of a stock purchase contract, a 1/40 interest in a 2016 Series
A-1
RSN issued by Dominion Energy and a 1/40 interest in a 2016 Series
A-2
RSN issued by Dominion Energy. The stock purchase contracts obligated the holders to purchase shares of Dominion Energy common stock at a future settlement date prior to the relevant RSN maturity date. The purchase price paid under the stock purchase contracts was $50 per Corporate Unit and the number of shares purchased was determined under a formula based upon the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock near the settlement date. The RSNs were pledged as collateral to secure the purchase of common stock under the related stock purchase contracts.
In May 2017, Dominion Energy successfully remarketed the $1.0 billion 2014 Series A 1.50% RSNs due 2020 pursuant to the terms of the related 2014 Equity Units. In connection with the remarketing, the interest rate on the junior subordinated notes was reset to 2.579%, payable on a semi-annual basis and Dominion Energy ceased to have the ability to redeem the notes at its option or defer interest payments.
In June 2019, Dominion Energy successfully remarketed the $700 million 2016 Series
A-1
2.0% RSNs due 2021 and $700 million 2016 Series
A-2
2.0% RSNs due 2024 pursuant to the terms of the related 2016 Equity Units. In connection with the remarketing, the interest rates on the Series
A-1
and Series
A-2
notes were reset to 2.715% and 3.071%, respectively, payable on a semi-annual basis, and Dominion Energy ceased to have the ability to redeem the notes at its option or defer interest payments.
At December 31, 2019, the securities are included in junior subordinated notes in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dominion Energy did not receive any proceeds from the remarketings. Remarketing proceeds belonged to the investors holding the related equity units and were temporarily used to purchase a portfolio of treasury securities. Upon maturity of each portfolio, the proceeds were applied on behalf of investors on the related stock purchase contract settlement date to pay the purchase price to Dominion Energy for issuance of 12.5 million shares of its common stock in July 2017 and 18.5 million shares of its common stock in August 2019.
Note 19. Preferred Stock
Dominion Energy is authorized to issue up to 20 million shares of preferred stock, which may be designated into separate classes.

2019 Corporate Units
In June 2019, Dominion Energy issued $1.6 billion of 2019 Equity Units, initially in the form of 2019 Series A Corporate Units. The Corporate Units are listed on the NYSE under the symbol DCUE. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to repay short-term debt, including commercial paper.
Each 2019 Series A Corporate Unit consists of a stock purchase contract and a 1/10, or 10%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in one share of Series A Preferred Stock. Beginning in June 2022, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into Dominion Energy common stock under a formula based upon the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock prior to the conversion date. The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable in cash by Dominion Energy beginning September 2022 at the liquidation preference. Settlement of any conversion is payable in cash, common stock or a combination thereof, at Dominion Energy’s election.
The stock purchase contracts obligate the holders to purchase shares of Dominion Energy common stock in June 2022. The purchase price to be paid under the stock purchase contracts is $100 per Corporate Unit and the number of shares to be purchased will be determined under a formula based upon the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock near the settlement date. The Series A Preferred Stock was pledged upon issuance as collateral to secure the purchase of common stock under the related stock purchase contracts.
Dominion Energy pays cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and quarterly contract adjustment payments on the stock purchase contracts, at the rates described below. Dominion Energy may elect to pay such dividends and/or payments in cash, shares of Dominion Energy common stock or a
combination of cash and shares of Dominion Energy common stock. Dominion Energy may defer the contract adjustment payments for one or more consecutive periods but generally not beyond the purchase contract settlement date. If payments are deferred, Dominion Energy may not make any distributions related to its capital stock, including dividends, redemptions, repurchases or liquidation payments. Also, during the deferral period, Dominion Energy may not make any payments on or redeem, repay or repurchase any debt securities that are equal in right of payment with, or subordinated to, the contract adjustment payments or make any payment on any guarantee of a security of a subsidiary if the guarantee ranks equal or junior to the contract adjustment payments. Unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, Dominion Energy may not make any distributions on any of its capital stock ranking equal or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, as applicable, including dividends, redemptions, repurchases or liquidation payments. In such circumstances, Dominion Energy also may not make any contract adjustment payments or other similar types of payments, subject to certain exceptions.
Dominion Energy has recorded the present value of the stock purchase contract payments as a liability offset to common stock. Stock purchase contract payments are recorded against this liability. Accretion of the stock purchase contract liability is recorded as imputed interest expense. In calculating diluted EPS, Dominion Energy applies the treasury stock method to the stock purchase contracts and the
if-converted
method to the Series A Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the stock purchase contracts, assuming no anti-dilution or other adjustments, the maximum number of shares of common stock Dominion Energy will issue in June 2022 is 21.8 million.

Note 20. Equity
Common Stock
Dominion Energy
During 2019, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy recorded, net of fees and commissions, $11.0 billion, $2.5 billion and $1.3 billion from the issuance of approximately 157 million, 36 million and 17 million shares of common stock, respectively, for acquisitions, settlements of stock purchase contracts and through various programs including Dominion Energy Direct
®
and an
at-the-market
program.
Acquisitions
During 2019, Dominion Energy issued 95.6 million shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of SCANA. At the time of issuance, these common stock shares were valued at $6.8 billion. See Note 3 for further information on the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock in connection with the SCANA Combination.
In January 2019, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Midstream closed on an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which Dominion Energy acquired each outstanding common unit representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream not already owned by Dominion Energy through the issuance of 22.5 million shares of common stock valued at $1.6 billion. Under the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, each publicly held outstanding common unit representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream was converted into the right to receive 0.2492 shares of Dominion Energy common stock. Immediately prior to the closing, each Series A Preferred Unit representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream was converted into common units representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream in accordance with the terms of Dominion Energy Midstream’s partnership agreement. The merger was accounted for by Dominion Energy following the guidance for a change in a parent company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary. Because Dominion Energy controls Dominion Energy Midstream both before and after the merger, the changes in Dominion Energy’s ownership interest in Dominion Energy Midstream were accounted for as an equity transaction and no gain or loss was recognized. In connection with the merger, Dominion Energy recognized $40 million of income taxes in equity primarily attributable to establishing additional regulatory liabilities related to excess deferred income taxes and changes in state income taxes.
Subsequent to this activity, as a result of the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring, Dominion Energy Gas is considered to have acquired all of the outstanding partnership interests of Dominion Energy Midstream and Dominion Energy Midstream became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy Gas.
Pension Plan Contribution

At-the-Market
Program
In June 2017, Dominion Energy filed an SEC shelf registration for the sale of debt and equity securities including the ability to sell common stock through an
at-the-market
program. Also, in June 2017, Dominion Energy entered into three separate sales agency agreements to effect sales under the program and pursuant to which it may offer from time to time up to $500 million aggregate amount of its common stock. Sales of common stock can be made by means of privately negotiated transactions, as transactions on the NYSE at market prices or in such other transactions as are agreed upon by Dominion Energy and the sales agents in conformance with applicable securities laws. In January 2018, Dominion Energy provided sales instructions to one of the sales agents and issued 6.6 million shares through
at-the-market
issuances and received cash proceeds of $495 million, net of fees and commissions paid of $5 million. Following these issuances, Dominion Energy had no remaining ability to issue stock under the 2017 sales agency agreements and completed the program. In February 2018, Dominion Energy entered into six separate sales agency agreements to effect sales under a new
at-the-market
program pursuant to which it may offer from time to time up to $1.0 billion aggregate amount of its common stock. These agreements replaced the sales agency agreements entered into by Dominion Energy in June 2017. Sales of common stock can be made by means of private negotiated transactions, as transactions

162 |  |  |  |  |  |

on the NYSE at market prices or in such other transactions as are agreed upon by Dominion Energy and the sales agents in conformance with applicable securities laws. In the fourth quarter of 2018, Dominion Energy provided sales instructions to two of the sales agents and issued 2.7 million shares through
at-the-market
issuances and received cash proceeds of $197 million, net of fees and commissions paid of $2 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, Dominion Energy provided sales instructions to two of the sales agents and issued 7.8 million shares and received cash proceeds of $639 million, net of fees and commissions paid of $6 million. Following these issuances, Dominion Energy had no remaining ability to issue stock under the 2018 sales agency agreements and completed the program.
Forward Sale Agreements
In 2018, Dominion Energy entered into separate forward sale agreements with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Credit Suisse Capital LLC, as forward purchasers, and an underwriting agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, relating to an aggregate of 20 million shares of Dominion Energy common stock. The underwriting agreement granted the underwriters a
30-day
option to purchase up to an additional three million shares of Dominion Energy common stock, which the underwriters exercised with respect to approximately 2.1 million shares in April 2018. Dominion Energy entered into separate forward sale agreements with the forward purchasers with respect to the additional shares. In December 2018, Dominion Energy received proceeds of $1.4 billion (after deducting underwriting discounts, but before deducting expenses, and subject to forward price adjustments under the forward sale agreements) upon the physical settlement of 22.1 million shares.
Repurchase of Common Stock
Dominion Energy did not repurchase any shares in 2019 or 2018 and does not plan to repurchase shares during 2020, except for shares tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock, which do not count against its stock repurchase authorization.
Virginia Power
In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power did not issue any shares of its common stock to Dominion Energy.
Noncontrolling Interests
Sale of Interest in Cove Point
In December 2019, Dominion Energy completed the sale of its 25% noncontrolling limited partnership interest in Cove Point to Brookfield in exchange for cash consideration of $2.1 billion, subject to working capital adjustments. See Note 3 for further information on the sale of this interest.
Remeasurement of Dominion Energy Midstream Units
In May 2018, all of the subordinated units of Dominion Energy Midstream held by Dominion Energy were converted into common units on a 1:1 ratio following the payment of Dominion Energy Midstream’s distribution for the first quarter of 2018. In
June 2018, Dominion Energy, as general partner, exercised an incentive distribution right reset as defined in Dominion Energy Midstream’s partnership agreement and received 27 million common units representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream. As a result of the increase in its ownership interest in Dominion Energy Midstream, Dominion Energy recorded a decrease in noncontrolling interest, and a corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity, of $375 million reflecting the change in the carrying value of the interest in the net assets of Dominion Energy Midstream held by others.

Stock-Based Awards
The 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan permits stock-based awards that include restricted stock, performance grants, goal-based stock, stock options and stock appreciation rights. The
Non-Employee
Directors Compensation Plan permits grants of restricted stock and stock options. Under provisions of these plans, employees and
non-employee
directors may be granted options to purchase common stock at a price not less than its fair market value at the date of grant with a maximum term of eight years. Option terms are set at the discretion of the CGN Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors itself, as provided under each plan. No options are outstanding under either plan. At December 31, 2019, approximately 21 million shares were available for future grants under these plans.
Goal-based stock awards are granted in lieu of cash-based performance grants to certain officers who have not achieved a certain targeted level of share ownership. As of December 31, 2019, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested goal-based stock awards was immaterial.
Dominion Energy measures and recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payment transactions over the vesting period based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Dominion Energy’s results for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 include $46 million, $48 million and $45 million,
respectively, of compensation costs and $11 million, $12 million and $16 million, respectively of income tax benefits related to Dominion Energy’s stock-based compensation arrangements. Stock-based compensation cost is reported in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Excess Tax Benefits are classified as a financing cash flow.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock grants are made to officers under Dominion Energy’s LTIP and may also be granted to certain key
non-officer
employees. The fair value of Dominion Energy’s restricted stock awards is equal to the closing price of Dominion Energy’s stock on the date of grant. New shares are issued for restricted stock awards on the date of grant and generally vest over a three-year service period. The following table provides a summary of restricted stock activity for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017:

|  | Shares |  |  | Weighted—average Grant Date Fair Value |
|  | (thousands) |  |  |  |
Nonvested at December 31, 2016 |  |  | 886 |  |  |  | $71.40 |
Granted |  |  | 454 |  |  |  | 74.24 |
Vested |  |  | (287 | ) |  |  | 68.90 |
Cancelled and forfeited |  |  | (10 | ) |  |  | 72.37 |
Nonvested at December 31, 2017 |  |  | 1,043 |  |  |  | $73.32 |
Granted |  |  | 534 |  |  |  | 72.92 |
Vested |  |  | (316 | ) |  |  | 73.59 |
Cancelled and forfeited |  |  | (53 | ) |  |  | 74.25 |
Nonvested at December 31, 2018 |  |  | 1,208 |  |  |  | $73.03 |
Granted |  |  | 614 |  |  |  | 76.49 |
Vested |  |  | (324 | ) |  |  | 71.75 |
Cancelled and forfeited |  |  | (96 | ) |  |  | 77.16 |
Nonvested at December 31, 2019 |  |  | 1,402 |  |  |  | $74.77 |

As of December 31, 2019, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards totaled $59 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The fair value of restricted stock awards that vested was $23 million, $23 million and $21 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Employees may elect to have shares of restricted stock withheld upon vesting to satisfy tax withholding obligations. The number of shares withheld will vary for each employee depending on the vesting date fair market value of Dominion Energy stock and the applicable federal, state and local tax withholding rates.
Cash-Based Performance Grants
Cash-based performance grants are made to Dominion Energy’s officers under Dominion Energy’s LTIP. The actual payout of cash-based performance grants will vary between zero and 200% of the targeted amount based on the level of performance metrics achieved.

166 |  |  |  |  |  |

In February 2017, two cash-based performance grants were made to officers as Dominion Energy transitioned from a
two-year
performance period to a three-year performance period. Payout of the
two-year
performance grant occurred in January 2019 based on the achievement of two performance metrics during 2017 and 2018: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group and ROIC with an additional partial payout based on Dominion Energy’s price-earnings ratio relative to that of the members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group. The total payout under the two-year grant was
$13 million. Payout
of the three-year performance grant occurred in January 2020 based on the achievement of two performance metrics during 2017, 2018 and 2019: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group and ROIC with an additional partial payout based on Dominion Energy’s price-earnings ratio relative to that of the members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group.
The
total of the payout under the three-year grant was $13 million and a liability of $13 million had been accrued for the award.
In February 2018, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the performance grant is expected to occur by March 15, 2021 based on the achievement of two performance metrics during 2018, 2019 and 2020: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group and ROIC. There are additional opportunities to earn a portion of the award based on Dominion Energy’s absolute TSR or relative price-earnings ratio performance. At December 31, 2019, the targeted amount of the three-year grant was $15 million and a liability of $8 million had been accrued for this award.
In February 2019, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the performance grant is expected to occur by March 15, 2022 based on the achievement of two performance metrics during 2019, 2020 and 2021: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group and ROIC. There are additional opportunities to earn a portion of the award based on Dominion Energy’s absolute TSR or relative price-earnings ratio performance. At December 31, 2019, the targeted amount of the three-year grant was $16 million and a liability of $5 million had been accrued for this award.
Note 21. Dividend Restrictions
The Virginia Commission may prohibit any public service company, including Virginia Power, from declaring or paying a dividend to an affiliate if found to be inconsistent with the public interest. At December 31, 2019, the Virginia Commission had not restricted the payment of dividends by Virginia Power.
The North Carolina Commission, in its order approving the SCANA Combination, limited cumulative dividends payable to Dominion Energy by Virginia Power and PSNC to (i) the amount of retained earnings at closing of the SCANA Combination plus (ii) any future earnings recorded by Virginia Power and PSNC after such date. In addition, notice to the North Carolina Commission is required if payment of dividends causes the equity component of Virginia Power and PSNC’s capital structure to fall below 45%.
The Ohio Commission may prohibit any public service company, including East Ohio, from declaring or paying a dividend to
an affiliate if found to be detrimental to the public interest. At December 31, 2019, the Ohio Commission had not restricted the payment of dividends by East Ohio.
Pursuant to the SCANA Merger Approval Order, the amount of any DESC dividends paid must be reasonable and consistent with the long-term payout ratio of the electric utility industry and gas distribution industry. There is no specific restriction on the payment of dividends by DESC.
At December 31, 2019, DESC’s retained earnings are below the balance established by the Federal Power Act as a reserve on earnings attributable to hydroelectric generation plants. As a result, DESC is prohibited from the payment of dividends without regulatory approval until the balance of its retained earnings increases.
The Utah Commission may prohibit any public service company, including Questar Gas, from declaring or paying a dividend to an affiliate if found to be detrimental to the public interest. At December 31, 2019, the Utah Commission had not restricted the payment of dividends by Questar Gas.
Certain agreements associated with the Companies’ credit facility contain restrictions on the ratio of debt to total capitalization. These limitations did not restrict the Companies’ ability to pay dividends or receive dividends from their subsidiaries at December 31, 2019.
In connection with the SCANA Combination, under the terms of the merger agreement, Dominion Energy could not declare, set aside or pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions (whether in cash, stock or property) in respect of, any of its capital stock, other than regular quarterly cash dividends from January 2018 through January 2019.
As part of the merger agreement with Dominion Energy Midstream from November 2018 through January 2019, Dominion Energy could not declare, set aside or pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions (whether in cash, stock or property) in respect of, any of its capital stock, other than regular quarterly cash dividends.
See Notes 18 and 19 for a description of potential restrictions on common stock dividend payments by Dominion Energy in connection with the deferral of contract adjustment payments on the 2019 Equity Units or a failure to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock.
Note 22. Employee Benefit Plans
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas—Defined Benefit Plans
Dominion Energy provides certain retirement benefits to eligible active employees, retirees and qualifying dependents. Dominion Energy Gas participates in a number of the Dominion Energy-sponsored retirement plans. Under the terms of its benefit plans, Dominion Energy reserves the right to change, modify or terminate the plans. From time to time in the past, benefits have changed, and some of these changes have reduced benefits.
Dominion Energy maintains qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering virtually all employees. Retirement benefits are based primarily on years of service, age and the employee’s compensation. Dominion Energy’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that is in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. The pension programs also provide

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
benefits to certain retired executives under company-sponsored nonqualified employee benefit plans. The nonqualified plans are funded through contributions to grantor trusts. Dominion Energy also provides retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits with annual employee premiums based on several factors such as age, retirement date and years of service.
Pension benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Dominion Energy that provides benefits to multiple Dominion Energy subsidiaries. Pension benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units are covered by a sep
a
rate pension plan that provides benefits to employees of both DETI and Hope. Employee compensation is the basis for allocating pension costs and obligations between DETI and Hope.
Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan, a plan sponsored by Dominion Energy that provides certain retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits to multiple Dominion Energy subsidiaries. Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units are covered by a sep
a
rate other postretirement benefit plan that provides benefits to both DETI and Hope. Employee headcount is the basis for allocating other postretirement benefit costs and obligations between DETI and Hope.
Dominion Energy Gas included the separate pension and other postretirement benefit plans for East Ohio employees covered by collective bargaining units through November 2019, the effective date of the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring. See Note 3 for more information on the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring.
Pension and other postretirement benefit costs are affected by employee demographics (including age, compensation levels and years of service), the level of contributions made to the plans and earnings on plan assets. These costs may also be affected by changes in key assumptions, including expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates, healthcare cost trend rates, mortality rates and the rate of compensation increases.
Dominion Energy uses December 31 as the measurement date for all of its employee benefit plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. Dominion Energy uses the market-related value of pension plan assets to determine the expected return on plan assets, a component of net periodic pension cost, for all pension plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. The market-related value recognizes changes in fair value on a straight-line basis over a four-year period, which reduces
year-to-year
volatility. Changes in fair value are measured as the difference between the expected and actual plan asset returns, including dividends, interest and realized and unrealized investment gains and losses. Since the market-related value recognizes changes in fair value over a four-year period, the future market-related value of pension plan assets will be impacted as previously unrecognized changes in fair value are recognized.
Dominion Energy’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans hold investments in trusts to fund employee benefit payments. Dominion Energy’s pension and other postretirement plan assets experienced aggregate actual returns (losses) of $2.1 billion and $(605) million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, versus expected returns of $848 million and $806 million, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ pension and other postretirement plan
assets for employees represented by collective bargaining units experienced aggregate actual returns (losses) of $167 million and $(129) million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, versus expected returns of $70 million and $178 million, respectively. Differences between actual and expected returns on plan assets are accumulated and amortized during future periods. As such, any investment-related declines in these trusts will result in future increases in the net periodic cost recognized for such employee benefit plans and will be included in the determination of the amount of cash to be contributed to the employee benefit plans.
Voluntary Retirement Program
In March 2019, the Companies announced a voluntary retirement program to employees that meet certain age and service requirements. The voluntary retirement program will not compromise safety or the Companies’ ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations. In 2019, upon the determinations made concerning the number of employees that elected to participate in the program, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $427 million ($319 million
after-tax)
included within other operations and maintenance expense ($291 million), other taxes ($24 million) and other income ($112 million), Virginia Power recorded a charge of $198 million ($146 million

In the second quarter of 2019, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas remeasured their pension and other postretirement benefit plans as a result of the voluntary retirement program. The remeasurement resulted in an increase in the pension benefit obligation of $484 million and $32 million and an increase in the fair value of the pension plan assets of $671 million and $146 million for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas, respectively. In addition, the remeasurement resulted in an increase in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of $101 million and $8 million and an increase in the fair value of the other postretirement benefit plan assets of $156 million and $29 million for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas, respectively. The impact of the remeasurement on net periodic benefit cost (credit) was recognized prospectively from the remeasurement date. The discount rate used for the remeasurement was 4.07%—4.10% for the Dominion Energy pension plans, 4.10% for Dominion Energy Gas pension plans, 4.05%—4.08% for the Dominion Energy other postretirement benefit plans, and 4.05% for the Dominion Energy Gas other postretirement benefit plans. All other assumptions used for the remeasurement were consistent with the measurement as of December 31, 2018.
In the third quarter of 2019, Dominion Energy remeasured a pension plan as a result of a settlement from the voluntary retirement program at SCANA. The settlement and related remeasurement resulted in an increase in the pension benefit obligation of $37 million and an increase in the fair value of the pension plan assets of $51 million for Dominion Energy. The impact of the remeasurement on net periodic benefit cost (credit) was recognized prospectively from the remeasurement date. The discount rate used for the remeasurement was 3.57%. All other assumptions used for the remeasurement were consistent with the measurement as of December 31, 2018.

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
The ABO for all of Dominion Energy’s defined benefit pension plans was $9.7 billion and $7.8 billion at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The ABO for the defined benefit pension plans covering Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units was $279 million and $689 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Under its funding policies, Dominion Energy evaluates plan funding requirements annually, usually in the fourth quarter after receiving updated plan information from its actuary. Based on the funded status of each plan and other factors, Dominion Energy determines the amount of contributions for the current year, if any, at that time. During 2019, Dominion Energy made $520 million of contributions to its
qualified
defined
benefit pension plans, including 6.1 million shares of its common stock valued at $499 million. The shares were contributed through a private placement, exempt from registration requirements, with an independent fiduciary and investment manager to a separate account within the qualified defined benefit pension plans. Dominion Energy also entered into a registration rights agreement with the independent fiduciary and investment manager pursuant to which Dominion Energy agreed to provide registrations rights on customary terms with respect to the shares. Dominion Energy Gas did not make any contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2019. Dominion Energy expects to make $29 million of the minimum required contributions in 2020, and no contributions are currently expected in 2020 for Dominion Energy Gas.
Certain regulatory authorities have held that amounts recovered in utility customers’ rates for other postretirement benefits, in excess of benefits actually paid during the year, must be deposited in trust funds dedicated for the sole purpose of paying such benefits. Accordingly, certain of Dominion Energy’s subsidiaries, including Dominion Energy Gas, fund other postretirement benefit costs through VEBAs. Dominion Energy’s remaining subsidiaries do not prefund other postretirement benefit costs but instead pay claims as presented. Dominion Energy’s contributions to VEBAs, all of which pertained to Dominion Energy Gas employees, totaled $12 million for 2019 and 2018, and Dominion Energy expects to contribute approximately $12 million to the Dominion Energy VEBAs in 2020, all of which pertains to Dominion Energy Gas employees.
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas do not expect any pension or other postretirement plan assets to be returned during 2020.

Plan Assets
Dominion Energy’s overall objective for investing its pension and other postretirement plan assets is to achieve appropriate long-term rates of return commensurate with prudent levels of risk. As a participating employer in various pension plans sponsored by Dominion Energy, Dominion Energy Gas is subject to Dominion Energy’s investment policies for such plans. To minimize risk, funds are broadly diversified among asset classes, investment strategies and investment advisors. The strategic target asset allocations for Dominion Energy’s pension funds are 28% U.S. equity, 18%
non-U.S.
equity, 35% fixed income, 3% real estate and 16% other alternative investments. U.S. equity includes investments in
large-cap,
mid-cap
and
small-cap
companies located in the U.S.
Non-U.S.
equity includes investments in
large-cap
and
small-cap
companies located outside of the U.S. including both developed and emerging markets. Fixed income includes corporate debt instruments of companies from diversified industries and U.S. Treasuries. The U.S. equity,
non-U.S.
equity and fixed income investments are in individual securities as well as mutual funds. Real estate includes equity real estate investment trusts and investments in partnerships. Other alternative investments include partnership investments in private equity, debt and hedge funds that follow several different strategies.
Dominion Energy also utilizes common/collective trust funds as an investment vehicle for its defined benefit plans. A common/collective trust fund is a pooled fund operated by a bank or trust company for investment of the assets of various organizations and individuals in a well-diversified portfolio. Common/collective trust funds are funds of grouped assets that follow various investment strategies.

170 |  |  |  |  |  |

Strategic investment policies are established for Dominion Energy’s prefunded benefit plans based upon periodic asset/liability studies. Factors considered in setting the investment policy include employee demographics, liability growth rates, future discount rates, the funded status of the plans and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Deviations from the plans’ strategic allocation are a function of Dominion Energy’s assessments regarding short-term risk and reward opportunities in the capital markets and/or short-term market movements which result in the plans’ actual asset allocations varying
from the strategic target asset allocations. Through periodic rebalancing, actual allocations are brought back in line with the target. Future asset/liability studies will focus on strategies to further reduce pension and other postretirement plan risk, while still achieving attractive levels of returns. Financial derivatives may be used to obtain or manage market exposures and to hedge assets and liabilities.
For fair value measurement policies and procedures related to pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets, see Note 6.

The Plan’s investments are determined based on the fair values of the investments and the underlying investments, which have been determined as follows:

| • | Cash and Cash Equivalents —Investments are held primarily in short-term notes and treasury bills, which are valued at cost plus accrued interest.

| • | Common and Preferred Stocks —Investments are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

| • | Insurance Contracts —Investments in Group Annuity Contracts with John Hancock were entered into after 1992 and are stated at fair value based on the fair value of the underlying securities as provided by the managers and include investments in U.S. government securities, corporate debt instruments, state and municipal debt securities.

| • | Corporate Debt Instruments —Investments are valued using pricing models maximizing the use of observable inputs for similar securities. This includes basing value on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. When quoted prices are not available for identical or similar instruments, the instrument is valued under a discounted cash flows approach that maximizes observable inputs, such as current yields of similar instruments, but includes adjustments for certain risks that may not be observable, such as credit and liquidity risks or a broker quote, if available.

| • | Government Securities —Investments are valued using pricing models maximizing the use of observable inputs for similar securities.

| • | Common/Collective Trust Funds —Common/collective trust funds invest in debt and equity securities and other instruments with characteristics similar to those of the funds’ benchmarks. The primary objectives of the funds are to seek investment returns that approximate the overall performance of their benchmark indexes. These benchmarks are major equity indices, fixed income indices, and money market indices that focus on growth, income, and liquidity strategies, as applicable. Investments in common/collective trust funds are stated at the NAV as determined by the issuer of the common/collective trust funds and are based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. The NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The common/collective trust funds do not have any unfunded commitments, and do not have any applicable liquidation periods or defined terms/periods to be held. The majority of the common/collective trust funds have limited withdrawal or redemption rights during the term of the investment.

| • | Alternative Investments —Investments in real estate funds, private equity funds, debt funds and hedge funds are stated at fair value based on the NAV of the Plan’s proportionate share of the partnership, joint venture or other alternative investment’s fair value as determined by reference to audited financial statements or NAV statements provided by the investment manager. The NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value.

As of December 31, 2018, of the $555 million related to pension benefits, $200 million is included in AOCI, with the remainder included in noncurrent assets of discontinued operations; of the $37 million related to other postretirement benefits , $22 million is included in noncurrent assets of discontinued operations with the remainder included in regulatory assets and liabilities.

The following table provides the components of AOCI and regulatory assets and liabilities for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ (for employees represented by collective bargaining units) plans as of December 31, 2019 that are expected to be amortized as components of net periodic benefit (credit) cost in 2020:

|  | Pension Benefits |  |  | Other Postretirement Benefits |
(millions) |  |  |  |  |  |
Dominion Energy |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net actuarial loss |  |  | $194 |  |  |  | $5 |
Prior service (credit) cost |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | (50 | )
Dominion Energy Gas |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net actuarial loss |  |  | $7 |  |  |  | $2 |
Prior service (credit) cost |  |  | — |  |  |  | (5 | )

The expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates, healthcare cost trend rates and mortality are critical assumptions in determining net periodic benefit (credit) cost. Dominion Energy develops
non-investment
related assumptions, which are then compared to the forecasts of an independent investment advisor to ensure reasonableness. An internal committee selects the final assumptions used for Dominion Energy’s pension and other postretirement plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates, including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return, healthcare cost trend rates and mortality rates.
Dominion Energy determines the expected long-term rates of return on plan assets for its pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates, by using a combination of:

| • | Expected inflation and risk-free interest rate assumptions;

| • | Historical return analysis to determine long term historic returns as well as historic risk premiums for various asset classes;

| • | Expected future risk premiums, asset classes’ volatilities and correlations;

| • | Forward-looking return expectations derived from the yield on long-term bonds and the expected long-term returns of major capital market assumptions; and

| • | Investment allocation of plan assets.

Dominion Energy determines discount rates from analyses of AA/Aa rated bonds with cash flows matching the expected payments to be made under its plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates.
Mortality rates are developed from actual and projected plan experience for postretirement benefit plans. Dominion Energy’s actuary conducts an experience study periodically as part of the process to select its best estimate of mortality. Dominion Energy considers both standard mortality tables and improvement factors as well as the plans’ actual experience when selecting a best estimate.
Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for Dominion Energy’s retiree healthcare plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. A one percentage point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have had the following effects for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ (for employees represented by collective bargaining units) other postretirement benefit plans:

|  | Other Postretirement Benefits |
|  | One percentage point increase |  |  | One percentage point decrease |
(millions) |  |  |  |  |  |
Dominion Energy |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Effect on net periodic cost for 2020 |  |  | $20 |  |  |  | $(11) |
Effect on other postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2019 |  |  | 153 |  |  |  | (128) |
Dominion Energy Gas |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Effect on net periodic cost for 2020 |  |  | $2 |  |  |  | $(2) |
Effect on other postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2019 |  |  | 14 |  |  |  | (12) |

Dominion Energy Gas (Employees Not Represented by Collective Bargaining Units) and Virginia Power—Participation in Defined Benefit Plans
Virginia Power employees and Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Pension Plan described above. As participating employers, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas are subject to Dominion Energy’s funding policy, which is to contribute annually an amount that is in accordance with ERISA. During 2019, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas made no contributions to the Dominion Energy Pension Plan, and no contributions to this plan are currently expected in 2020. Virginia Power’s net periodic pension cost related to this plan was $152 million, $126 million and $110 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ net periodic pension

|  |  |  |  | 175 |

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
credit related to this plan was $(8) million, $(35) million and $(35) million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net periodic pension (credit) cost is reflected in other operations and maintenance expense in their respective Consolidated Statements of Income, except for $(14) million, $(21) million and $(20) million of Dominion Energy Gas’ costs in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, that are recorded in net income from discontinued operations. The funded status of various Dominion Energy subsidiary groups and employee compensation are the basis for determining the share of total pension costs for participating Dominion Energy subsidiaries. See Note 25 for Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas amounts due to/from Dominion Energy related to this plan.
Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits, for Virginia Power employees and for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units, are covered by the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan described above. Virginia Power’s net periodic benefit (credit) cost related to this plan was $(27) million, $(51) million and $(42) million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ net periodic benefit (credit) cost related to this plan was $(4) million, $(8) million and $(6) million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net periodic benefit (credit) cost is reflected in other operations and maintenance expenses in their respective Consolidated Statements of Income, except for
less than $(1
) million, $(2) million and $(2) million of Dominion Energy Gas’ costs in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, that are recorded in net income from discontinued operations. Employee headcount is the basis for determining the share of total other postretirement benefit costs for participating Dominion Energy subsidiaries. See Note 25 for Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas amounts due to/from Dominion Energy related to this plan.
Dominion Energy holds investments in trusts to fund employee benefit payments for the pension and other postretirement benefit plans in which Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ employees participate. Any investment-related declines in these trusts will result in future increases in the net periodic cost recognized for such employee benefit plans and will be included in the determination of the amount of cash that Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas will provide to Dominion Energy for their shares of employee benefit plan contributions.
Certain regulatory authorities have held that amounts recovered in rates for other postretirement benefits, in excess of benefits actually paid during the year, must be deposited in trust funds dedicated for the sole purpose of paying such benefits. Accordingly, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas fund other postretirement benefit costs through VEBAs.
During 2019 and 2018, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas made
no
contributions to the VEBAs and does
no
t
expect to contribute to the VEBAs in 2020.
Defined Contribution Plans
Dominion Energy also sponsors defined contribution employee savings plans that cover substantially all employees. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy recognized $73 million, $51 million and $45 million, respectively, as employer matching contributions to these plans. Dominion Energy Gas participates in these employee savings plans, both specific to Dominion Energy
Gas and that cover multiple Dominion Energy subsidiaries. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy Gas recognized $4 million, $8 million and $8 million, respectively, as employer matching contributions to these plans. Virginia Power also participates in these employee savings plans. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power recognized $20 million, $20 million and $19 million, respectively, as employer matching contributions to these plans.
Note 23. Commitments and Contingencies
As a result of issues generated in the ordinary course of business, the Companies are involved in legal proceedings before various courts and are periodically subject to governmental examinations (including by regulatory authorities), inquiries and investigations. Certain legal proceedings and governmental examinations involve demands for unspecified amounts of damages, are in an initial procedural phase, involve uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, or involve significant factual issues that need to be resolved, such that it is not possible for the Companies to estimate a range of possible loss. For such matters that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the litigation or investigative processes such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For legal proceedings and governmental examinations that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any accrued liability is recorded on a gross basis with a receivable also recorded for any probable insurance recoveries. Estimated ranges of loss are inclusive of legal fees and net of any anticipated insurance recoveries. Any estimated range is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such legal proceedings and governmental examinations will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current proceedings not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
Environmental Matters
The Companies are subject to costs resulting from a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. These laws and regulations affect future planning and existing operations. They can result in increased capital, operating and other costs as a result of compliance, remediation, containment and monitoring obligations.
Air
CAA
The CAA, as amended, is a comprehensive program utilizing a broad range of regulatory tools to protect and preserve the nation’s air quality. At a minimum, states are required to establish regulatory programs to address all requirements of the CAA. However, states may choose to develop regulatory programs that are more restrictive. Many of the Companies’ facilities are subject to the CAA’s permitting and other requirements.

176 |  |  |  |  |  |

MATS
In February 2019, the EPA published a proposed rule to reverse its previous finding that it is appropriate and necessary to regulate toxic emissions from power plants. However, the emissions standards and other requirements of the MATS rule would remain in place as the EPA is not proposing to remove coal and
oil-fired
power plants from the list of sources that are regulated under MATS. Although litigation of the MATS rule and the outcome of the EPA’s rulemaking are still pending, the regulation remains in effect and Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are complying with the applicable requirements of the rule and do not expect any adverse impacts to their operations at this time.
Ozone Standards
The EPA published final
non-attainment
designations for the October 2015 ozone standard in June 2018. States have until August 2021 to develop plans to address the new standard. Until the states have developed implementation plans for the standard, the Companies are unable to predict whether or to what extent the new rules will ultimately require additional controls. The expenditures required to implement additional controls could have a material impact on the Companies’ results of operations and cash flows.
Oil and Gas NSPS
In August 2012, the EPA issued an NSPS impacting new and modified facilities in the natural gas production and gathering sectors and made revisions to the NSPS for natural gas processing and transmission facilities. These rules establish equipment performance specifications and emissions standards for control of VOC emissions for natural gas production wells, tanks, pneumatic controllers, and compressors in the upstream sector. In June 2016, the EPA issued another NSPS regulation, for the oil and natural gas sector, to regulate methane and VOC emissions from new and modified facilities in transmission and storage, gathering and boosting, production and processing facilities. All projects which commenced construction after September 2015 are required to comply with this regulation. In October 2018, the EPA published a proposed rule reconsidering and amending portions of the 2016 rule, including but not limited to, the fugitive emissions requirements at well sites and compressor stations. The amended portions of the 2016 rule were effective immediately upon publication. Until the proposed rule regarding reconsideration is final, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are implementing the 2016 regulation. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are still evaluating whether potential impacts on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows related to this matter will be material.
ACE Rule
In July 2019, the EPA published the final rule informally referred to as the ACE Rule, as a replacement for the Clean Power Plan. ACE Rule applies to existing coal-fired power plants. The final rule includes unit-specific performance standards based on the degree of emission reduction levels achievable from unit efficiency improvements to be determined by the permitting agency. The ACE Rule requires states to develop plans by July 2022, to implement these performance standards. These state plans must be approved by the EPA by January 2024. While the impacts of
this rule could be material to Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities.
Carbon Regulations
In August 2016, the EPA issued a draft rule proposing to reaffirm that a source’s obligation to obtain a PSD or Title V permit for GHGs is triggered only if such permitting requirements are first triggered by
non-GHG,
or conventional, pollutants that are regulated by the New Source Review program, and to set a significant emissions rate at 75,000 tons per year of CO2 equivalent emissions under which a source would not be required to apply BACT for its GHG emissions. Until the EPA ultimately takes final action on this rulemaking, the Companies cannot predict the impact to their results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
In December 2018, the EPA proposed revised Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New, Modified, and Reconstructed Stationary Sources. The proposed rule would amend the previous determination that the best system of emission reduction for newly constructed coal-fired steam generating units is no longer partial carbon capture and storage. Instead, the proposed revised best system of emission reduction for this source category is the most efficient demonstrated steam cycle (e.g., supercritical steam conditions for large units and subcritical steam conditions for small units) in combination with the best operating practices.
State Regulations
In May 2019, VDEQ issued a final rule establishing a state carbon regulation program with a 28.0 million ton initial state-wide carbon cap in 2020. The cap is reduced by approximately three percent per year through 2030, resulting in an ultimate cap of 19.6 million tons. The final rule includes a provision for VDEQ to delay implementation of the rule and possible adjustments to the baseline cap pending authorization from the General Assembly and Governor of Virginia. Once VDEQ is authorized to begin implementation of the rule, the impacts of this program could be material to Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows; however, the existing regulatory framework in Virginia provides rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impact.
Water
The CWA, as amended, is a comprehensive program requiring a broad range of regulatory tools including a permit program to authorize and regulate discharges to surface waters with strong enforcement mechanisms. The Companies must comply with applicable aspects of the CWA programs at their operating facilities.
Regulation 316(b)
In October 2014, the final regulations under Section 316(b) of the CWA that govern existing facilities and new units at existing facilities that employ a cooling water intake structure and that have flow levels exceeding a minimum threshold became effective.

|  |  |  |  | 177 |

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
The rule establishes a national standard for impingement based on seven compliance options, but forgoes the creation of a single technology standard for entrainment. Instead, the EPA has delegated entrainment technology decisions to state regulators. State regulators are to make
case-by-case
entrainment technology determinations after an examination of five mandatory facility-specific factors, including a social cost-benefit test, and six optional facility-specific factors. The rule governs all electric generating stations with water withdrawals above two MGD, with a heightened entrainment analysis for those facilities over 125 MGD. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power currently have 13 and seven facilities, respectively, that are subject to the final regulations. Dominion Energy anticipates that it may have to install impingement control technologies at certain of these stations that have once-through cooling systems. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are currently evaluating the need or potential for entrainment controls under the final rule as these decisions will be made on a
case-by-case
basis after a thorough review of detailed biological, technology, cost and benefit studies. DESC is conducting studies and implementing plans as required by the rule to determine appropriate intake structure modifications at certain facilities to ensure compliance with this rule. While the impacts of this rule could be material to Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities.
Effluent Limitations Guidelines
In September 2015, the EPA released a final rule to revise the Effluent Limitations Guidelines for the Steam Electric Power Generating Category. The final rule establishes updated standards for wastewater discharges that apply primarily at coal and oil steam generating stations. Affected facilities are required to convert from wet to dry or closed cycle coal ash management, improve existing wastewater treatment systems and/or install new wastewater treatment technologies in order to meet the new discharge limits. In April 2017, the EPA granted two separate petitions for reconsideration of the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule and stayed future compliance dates in the rule. Also in April 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted the EPA’s request for a stay of the pending consolidated litigation challenging the rule while the EPA addresses the petitions for reconsideration. In September 2017, the EPA signed a rule to postpone the earliest compliance dates for certain waste streams regulations in the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule from November 2018 to November 2020; however, the latest date for compliance for these regulations remains December 2023. While the impacts of this rule could be material to Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities.
Waste Management and Remediation
The operations of the Companies are subject to a variety of state and federal laws and regulations governing the management and
disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and release of hazardous substances associated with current and/or historical operations. The CERCLA, as amended, and similar state laws, may impose joint, several and strict liability for cleanup on potentially responsible parties who owned, operated or arranged for disposal at facilities affected by a release of hazardous substances. In addition, many states have created programs to incentivize voluntary remediation of sites where historical releases of hazardous substances are identified and property owners or responsible parties decide to initiate cleanups.
From time to time, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power or Dominion Energy Gas may be identified as a potentially responsible party in connection with the alleged release of hazardous substances or wastes at a site. Under applicable federal and state laws, the Companies could be responsible for costs associated with the investigation or remediation of impacted sites, or subject to contribution claims by other responsible parties for their costs incurred at such sites. The Companies also may identify, evaluate and remediate other potentially impacted sites under voluntary state programs. Remediation costs may be subject to reimbursement under the Companies’ insurance policies, rate recovery mechanisms, or both. Except as described below, the Companies do not believe these matters will have a material effect on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Dominion Energy has determined that it is associated with former manufactured gas plant sites, including certain sites associated with Virginia Power. At 11 sites associated with Dominion Energy, including certain sites acquired in the SCANA Combination, remediation work has been substantially completed under federal or state oversight. Where required, the sites are following state-approved groundwater monitoring programs. Dominion Energy has proposed or expects to propose remediation plans associated with three sites, including one at Virginia Power, and expects to conduct remediation activities primarily in 2020. As of December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have $34 million and $16 million, respectively, of reserves recorded, including a charge of $16 million ($12 million after-tax) that Virginia Power recorded in 2018, in other operations and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, for one site associated with Dominion Energy, an updated work plan submitted to SCDHEC in September 2018,
would increase costs by approximately $8 million if approved. Dominion Energy is associated with 13 additional sites, including two associated with Virginia Power, which are not under investigation by any state or federal environmental agency nor the subject of any current or proposed plans to perform remediation activities. Due to the uncertainty surrounding such sites, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts.
Ash Pond and Landfill Closure Costs
In April 2015, the EPA enacted a final rule regulating CCR landfills, existing ash ponds that still receive and manage CCRs, and inactive ash ponds that do not receive, but still store, CCRs. Dominion Energy currently operates inactive ash ponds, existing ash ponds and CCR landfills subject to the final rule at 11 different facilities, eight of which are at Virginia Power. This rule created a legal obligation for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power to retrofit or close all of its inactive and existing ash ponds over a

178 |  |  |  |  |  |

certain period of time, as well as perform required monitoring, corrective action, and post-closure care activities as necessary.
In December 2016, legislation was enacted that creates a framework for
EPA-
approved state CCR permit programs. In August 2017, the EPA issued interim guidance outlining the framework for state CCR program approval. The EPA has enforcement authority until state programs are approved. The EPA and states with approved programs both will have authority to enforce CCR requirements under their respective rules and programs. In September 2017, the EPA agreed to reconsider portions of the CCR rule in response to two petitions for reconsideration. In March 2018, the EPA proposed certain changes to the CCR rule related to issues remanded as part of the pending litigation and other issues the EPA is reconsidering. Several of the proposed changes would allow states with approved CCR permit programs additional flexibilities in implementing their programs. In July 2018, the EPA promulgated the first phase of changes to the CCR rule. Until all phases of the CCR rule are promulgated, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power cannot forecast potential incremental impacts or costs related to existing coal ash sites in connection with future implementation of the 2016 CCR legislation and reconsideration of the CCR rule. In August 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued its decision in the pending challenges of the CCR rule, vacating and remanding to the EPA three provisions of the rule. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power do not expect the scope of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit’s decision to impact their closure plans, but cannot forecast incremental impacts associated with any future changes to the CCR rule in connection with the court’s remand.
In April 2017, the Governor of Virginia signed legislation into law that placed a moratorium on the VDEQ issuing solid waste permits for closure of ash ponds at Virginia Power’s Bremo, Chesapeake, Chesterfield and Possum Point power stations until May 2018. The law also required Virginia Power to conduct an assessment of closure alternatives for the ash ponds at these four stations, to include an evaluation of excavation for recycling or
off-site
disposal, surface and groundwater conditions and safety. Virginia Power completed the assessments and provided the report on December 1, 2017. In April 2018, the Governor of Virginia signed legislation into law extending the existing permit moratorium until July 2019. The legislation also required Virginia Power to solicit and compile by November 2018, information from third parties on the suitability, cost and market demand for beneficiation or recycling of coal ash from these units. The coal ash recycling business plan was submitted to the legislature in November 2018. The extended moratorium does not apply to a permit required for an impoundment where CCRs have already been removed and placed in another impoundment
on-site,
are being removed from an impoundment, or are being processed in connection with a recycling or beneficial use project. In connection with this legislation, in the second quarter of 2018, Virginia Power recorded an increase to its ARO and a related environmental liability related to future ash pond and landfill closure costs of $131 million, which resulted in an $81 million ($60 million
after-tax)
charge recorded in other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income, a $46 million increase in property, plant and equipment associated with asset retirement costs and a $4 million increase in regulatory assets.
In March 2019, the Governor of Virginia signed into law legislation which requires any CCR unit located at Virginia Power’s Bremo, Chesapeake, Chesterfield or Possum Point power stations that stop accepting CCR prior to July 2019 be closed by removing the CCR to an approved landfill or through recycling for beneficial reuse. The legislation further requires that at least 6.8 million cubic yards of CCR be beneficially reused. Costs associated with the closure of these CCR units are recoverable through a rate adjustment clause approved by the Virginia Commission with a revenue requirement that cannot exceed $225 million in any
12-month
period. Associated costs that are allocated to customers outside of Virginia, and not actually recovered from such customers, are recoverable through the Virginia rate adjustment clause. In connection with this legislation, Virginia Power recorded a $2.4 billion ARO related to the cost of landfills and beneficial reuse, with an offsetting increase to property, plant and equipment of $1.3 billion for the Chesterfield power station and an increase primarily to regulatory assets for the remaining portion related to the Bremo, Chesapeake and Possum Point power stations during the first quarter of 2019. In addition, Virginia Power revised its estimated cash flows for the existing ARO related to future ash pond and landfill closure costs, which resulted in a decrease of $202 million and a corresponding $113 million ($84 million
after-tax)
benefit in other operations and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the first quarter of 2019.
Other Legal Matters
The Companies are defendants in a number of lawsuits and claims involving unrelated incidents of property damage and personal injury. Due to the uncertainty surrounding these matters, the Companies are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts; however, they could have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
SCANA Legal Proceedings
The following describes certain legal proceedings involving Dominion Energy, SCANA or DESC relating to events occurring before closing of the SCANA Combination. Dominion Energy intends to vigorously contest the lawsuits, claims and assessments which have been filed or initiated against SCANA and DESC. No reference to, or disclosure of, any proceeding, item or matter described below shall be construed as an admission or indication that such proceeding, item or matter is material. For certain of these matters, and unless otherwise noted therein, Dominion Energy is unable to estimate a reasonable range of possible loss and the related financial statement impacts, but for any such matter there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. For the matters for which Dominion Energy is able to reasonably estimate a probable loss, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include reserves of $696 million and insurance receivables of $111 million, included within other receivables at December 31, 2019. Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes charges of $641 million ($480 million
after-tax
), included within impairment of assets and other charges, included within the Corporate and Other segment.

Ratepayer Class Actions
In May 2018, a consolidated complaint against DESC, SCANA and the State of South Carolina was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the DESC Ratepayer Case). In September 2018, the court certified this case as a class action. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that DESC was negligent and unjustly enriched, breached alleged fiduciary and contractual duties and committed fraud and misrepresentation in failing to properly manage the NND Project, and that DESC committed unfair trade practices and violated state anti-trust laws. The plaintiffs sought a declaratory judgment that DESC may not charge its customers for any past or continuing costs of the NND Project, sought to have SCANA and DESC’s assets frozen and all monies recovered from Toshiba Corporation and other sources be placed in a constructive trust for the benefit of ratepayers and sought specific performance of the alleged implied contract to construct the NND Project.
In December 2018, the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County entered an order granting preliminary approval of a class action settlement and a stay of
pre-trial
proceedings in the DESC Ratepayer Case. The settlement agreement, contingent upon the closing of the SCANA Combination, provided that SCANA and DESC would establish an escrow account and proceeds from the escrow account would be distributed to the class members, after payment of certain taxes, attorneys’ fees and other expenses and administrative costs. The escrow account would include (1) up to $2.0 billion, net of a credit of up to $2.0 billion in future electric bill relief, which would inure to the benefit of the escrow account in favor of class members over a period of time established by the South Carolina Commission in its order related to matters before the South Carolina Commission related to the NND Project, (2) a cash payment of $115 million and (3) the transfer of certain DESC-owned real estate or sales proceeds from the sale of such properties, which counsel for the DESC Ratepayer Class estimate to have an aggregate value between $60 million and $85 million. At the closing of the SCANA Combination, SCANA and DESC funded the cash payment portion of the escrow account. The court held a fairness hearing on the settlement in May 2019. In June 2019, the court entered an order granting final approval of the settlement, which order became effective July 2019. In July 2019, DESC transferred $117 million representing the cash payment, plus accrued interest, to the plaintiffs. In addition, property, plant and equipment with a net recorded value of $54 million is in the process of being transferred to the plaintiffs in coordination with the court-appointed real estate trustee to satisfy the settlement agreement.
In September 2017, a purported class action was filed by Santee Cooper ratepayers against Santee Cooper, DESC, Palmetto Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Central Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case). The allegations are substantially similar to those in the DESC Ratepayer Case. The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that the defendants may not charge the purported class for reimbursement for past or future costs of the NND Project. In March 2018, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint including as additional named defendants, including certain then current and former directors of Santee Cooper and SCANA. In June 2018, Santee Cooper filed a Notice of Petition for Original
Jurisdiction with the Supreme Court of
South Carolina. In December 2018, Santee Cooper filed its answer to the plaintiffs’ fourth amended complaint and filed cross claims against DESC, which was denied. In October 2019, Santee Cooper voluntarily consented to stay its cross claims against DESC pending the outcome of the trial of the underlying case. In November 2019, DESC removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. In December 2019, the plaintiffs and Santee Cooper filed a motion to remand the case to state court. In January 2020, the case was remanded to state court. In February 2020, the parties executed a preliminary settlement term sheet relating to this matter as well as the Luquire Case and the Glibowski Case described below. The proposed settlement is expected to be $520 million, of which Dominion Energy’s portion is $320 million. The parties are currently negotiating a settlement agreement based on the preliminary settlement term sheet that will be presented to the court for preliminary approval. This case is pending.
In July 2019, a similar purported class action was filed by certain Santee Cooper ratepayers against DESC, SCANA, Dominion Energy and former directors and officers of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Orangeburg, South Carolina (the Luquire Case). In August 2019, DESC, SCANA and Dominion Energy were voluntarily dismissed from the case. The claims are similar to the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case. In February 2020, the parties executed a preliminary settlement term sheet as described above relating to this matter as well as the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case and the Glibowski Case. This case is pending.

In January 2018, a purported class action was filed, and subsequently amended, against SCANA, DESC and certain former executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina (the Glibowski Case). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that SCANA, DESC and the individual defendants participated in an unlawful racketeering enterprise in violation of RICO and conspired to violate RICO by fraudulently inflating utility bills to generate unlawful proceeds. The DESC Ratepayer Class Action settlement described previously contemplates dismissal of claims by DESC ratepayers in this case against DESC, SCANA and their officers. In August 2019, the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss. In February 2020, the parties executed a preliminary settlement term sheet as described above relating to this matter as well as the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case and the Luquire Case. This case is pending.
SCANA Shareholder Litigation
In September 2017, a purported class action was filed against SCANA and certain former executive officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. Subsequent additional purported class actions were separately filed against all or nearly all of these defendants. In January 2018, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina consolidated these suits, and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint in March 2018. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants violated §10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule
10b-5
promulgated thereunder, and that the individually named defendants are liable under §20(a) of the same act. In June 2018, the defendants filed motions to dismiss. In March 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted in part and denied in part

180 |  |  |  |  |  |

the defendants’ motions to dismiss. In December 2019, the parties executed a settlement agreement pursuant to which SCANA will pay $192.5 million, up to $32.5 million of which can be satisfied through the issuance of shares of Dominion Energy common stock, subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. In February 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted preliminary approval of the settlement agreement, pending a fairness hearing.
In September 2017, a shareholder derivative action was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina. In September 2018, this action was consolidated with another action in the Business Court Pilot Program in Richland County. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, and that the defendants were unjustly enriched by bonuses they were paid in connection with the project. The defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated action. In February 2019, one action was voluntarily dismissed. This case is pending.
In January 2018, a purported class action was filed against SCANA, Dominion Energy and certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Lexington County, South Carolina (the City of Warren Lawsuit). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that defendants violated their fiduciary duties to shareholders by executing a merger agreement that would unfairly deprive plaintiffs of the true value of their SCANA stock, and that Dominion Energy aided and abetted these actions. Among other remedies, the plaintiff seeks to enjoin and/or rescind the merger. In February 2018, Dominion Energy removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, and filed a Motion to Dismiss in March 2018. In June 2018, the case was remanded back to the State Court of Common Pleas in Lexington County. Dominion Energy appealed the decision to remand to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, where the appeal was consolidated with a similar appeal in the Metzler Lawsuit discussed below. In June 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the order remanding the case to state court. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina.
In February 2018, a purported class action was filed against Dominion Energy and certain former directors of SCANA and DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina (the Metzler Lawsuit). The allegations made and the relief sought by the plaintiffs are substantially similar to that described for the City of Warren Lawsuit. In February 2018, Dominion Energy removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, and filed a Motion to Dismiss in March 2018. In August 2018, the case was remanded back to the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County. Dominion Energy appealed the decision to remand to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, where the appeal was consolidated with the City of Warren Lawsuit. In June 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the order remanding the case to state court. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina.
In September 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted the plaintiffs’ motion to consolidate the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit. In October 2019, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against certain former directors and executive officers of SCANA and DESC,
which stated substantially similar allegations to those in the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit. In November 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. This case is pending.
In May 2019, a case was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, were unjustly enriched by the bonuses they were paid in connection with the project and breached their fiduciary duties to
secure and obtain the best price for the sale of SCANA. Also in May 2019, the case was removed to the U.S. District Court of South Carolina by the
non-South
Carolina defendants. In June 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the case to state court. In January 2020, the case was remanded to state court. This case is pending.
Employment Class Actions and Indemnification
In August 2017, a case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina on behalf of persons who were formerly employed at the NND Project. In July 2018, the court certified this case as a class action. In February 2019, certain of these plaintiffs filed an additional case, which case has been dismissed and the plaintiffs have joined the case filed August 2017. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that SCANA, DESC, Fluor Corporation and Fluor Enterprises, Inc. violated the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act in connection with the decision to stop construction at the NND Project. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants failed to provide adequate advance written notice of their terminations of employment and are seeking damages, which could be as much as $100 million for 100% of the NND Project.
In September 2018, a case was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina by Fluor Enterprises, Inc. and Fluor Daniel Maintenance Services, Inc. against DESC and Santee Cooper. The plaintiffs make claims for indemnification, breach of contract and promissory estoppel arising from, among other things, the defendants’ alleged failure and refusal to defend and indemnify the Fluor defendants in the aforementioned case. These cases are pending.
FILOT Litigation and Related Matters
In November 2017, Fairfield County filed a complaint and a motion for temporary injunction against DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina, making allegations of breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and unfair trade practices related to DESC’s termination of the FILOT agreement between DESC and Fairfield County related to the NND Project. The plaintiff sought a temporary and permanent injunction to prevent DESC from terminating the FILOT agreement. The plaintiff withdrew the motion for temporary injunction in December 2017. This case is pending.
Governmental Proceedings and Investigations
In June 2018, DESC received a notice of proposed assessment of approximately $410 million, excluding interest, from the SCDOR following its audit of DESC’s sales and use tax returns for the periods September 1, 2008 through December 31, 2017. The proposed assessment, which includes 100% of the NND Project, is based on the SCDOR’s position that DESC’s sales and

|  |  |  |  | 181 |

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
use tax exemption for the NND Project does not apply because the facility will not become operational. DESC has protested the proposed assessment, which remains pending.
In September and October 2017, SCANA was served with subpoenas issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina and the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement seeking documents related to the NND Project. In February 2020, the SEC filed a complaint against SCANA, two of its former executive officers and DESC in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements about the NND Project. In addition, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is conducting a criminal investigation into the handling of the NND Project by SCANA and DESC. These matters are pending. SCANA and DESC are cooperating fully with the investigations, including responding to additional subpoenas and document requests; however, Dominion Energy cannot currently predict whether or to what extent SCANA or DESC may incur a material liability.
Other Litigation
In December 2018, arbitration proceedings commenced between DESC and Cameco Corporation related to a supply agreement signed in May 2008. This agreement provides the terms and conditions under which DESC agreed to purchase uranium hexafluoride from Cameco Corporation over a period from 2010 to 2020. Cameco Corporation alleges that DESC violated this agreement by failing to purchase the stated quantities of uranium hexafluoride for the 2017 and 2018 delivery years. DESC denies that it is in breach of the agreement and believes that it has reduced its purchase quantity within the terms of the agreement. This matter is pending.
Abandoned NND Project
DESC, for itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, entered into an engineering, construction and procurement contract with Westinghouse and WECTEC in 2008 for the design and construction of the NND Project, of which DESC’s ownership share is 55%. Various difficulties were encountered in connection with the project. The ability of Westinghouse and WECTEC to adhere to established budgets and construction schedules was affected by many variables, including unanticipated difficulties encountered in connection with project engineering and the construction of project components, constrained financial resources of the contractors, regulatory, legal, training and construction processes associated with securing approvals, permits and licenses and necessary amendments to them within projected time frames, the availability of labor and materials at estimated costs and the efficiency of project labor. There were also contractor and supplier performance issues, difficulties in timely meeting critical regulatory requirements, contract disputes, and changes in key contractors or subcontractors. These matters preceded the filing for bankruptcy protection by Westinghouse and WECTEC in March 2017, and were the subject of comprehensive analyses performed by SCANA and Santee Cooper.
Based on the results of SCANA’s analysis, and in light of Santee Cooper’s decision to suspend construction on the NND Project, in July 2017, SCANA determined to stop the construction of the units and to pursue recovery of costs incurred in connection with the construction under the abandonment provisions of the Base Load
Review Act or through other means. This decision by SCANA became the focus of numerous legislative, regulatory and legal proceedings. Some of these proceedings remain unresolved and are described above.
In September 2017, DESC, for itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York Proofs of Claim for unliquidated damages against each of Westinghouse and WECTEC. These Proofs of Claim were based upon the anticipatory repudiation and material breach by Westinghouse and WECTEC of the contract, and assert against Westinghouse and WECTEC any and all claims that are based thereon or that may be related thereto.
Westinghouse’s reorganization plan was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York and became effective in August 2018. In connection with the effectiveness of the reorganization plan, the contract associated with the NND Project was deemed rejected. DESC is contesting approximately $285 million of filed liens in Fairfield County, South Carolina. Most of these asserted liens are claims that relate to work performed by Westinghouse subcontractors before the Westinghouse bankruptcy, although some of them are claims arising from work performed after the Westinghouse bankruptcy.
Westinghouse has indicated that some unsecured creditors have sought or may seek amounts beyond what Westinghouse allocated when it submitted its reorganization plan to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. If any unsecured creditor is successful in its attempt to include its claim as part of the class of general unsecured creditors beyond the amounts in the bankruptcy reorganization plan allocated by Westinghouse, it is possible that the reorganization plan will not provide for payment in full or nearly in full to its
pre-petition
trade creditors. The shortfall could be significant.
DESC and Santee Cooper were responsible for amounts owed to Westinghouse for valid work performed by Westinghouse subcontractors on the NND Project after the Westinghouse bankruptcy filing until termination of the interim assessment agreement. In December 2019, DESC and Santee Cooper entered into a confidential settlement agreement with W Wind Down Co LLC resolving claims relating to the interim assessment agreement.
Further, some Westinghouse subcontractors who have made claims against Westinghouse in the bankruptcy proceeding also filed against DESC and Santee Cooper in South Carolina state court for damages. Many of these claimants have also asserted construction liens against the NND Project site. DESC also intends to oppose these claims and liens. With respect to claims of Westinghouse subcontractors, DESC believes there were sufficient amounts previously funded during the interim assessment agreement period to pay such validly asserted claims. With respect to the Westinghouse subcontractor claims which relate to other periods, DESC understands that such claims will be paid pursuant to Westinghouse’s confirmed bankruptcy reorganization plan. DESC further understands that the amounts paid under the plan may satisfy such claims in full. Therefore, DESC believes that the Westinghouse subcontractors may be paid substantially (and potentially in full) by Westinghouse. While Dominion Energy cannot be assured that it will not have any exposure on account of unpaid Westinghouse subcontractor claims, which DESC is presently disputing, Dominion Energy believes it is unlikely that it will be required to make payments on account of such claims.

Appalachian Gateway
Gas Producers Litigation
In connection with the Appalachian Gateway project, Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc. entered into contracts for firm purchase rights with a group of small gas producers. In June 2016, the gas producers filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia against Dominion Energy, DETI and Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc., among other defendants, claiming that the contracts are unenforceable and seeking compensatory and punitive damages. During the third quarter of 2016, Dominion Energy, DETI and Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc. were served with the complaint. Also in the third quarter of 2016, Dominion Energy and DETI, with the consent of the other defendants, removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. In October 2016, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss and the plaintiffs filed a motion to remand. In February 2017, the U.S. District Court entered an order remanding the matter to the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia. In March 2017, Dominion Energy was voluntarily dismissed from the case; however, DETI and Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc. remained parties to the matter. In April 2017, the case was transferred to the Business Court Division of West Virginia. In January 2018, the court granted the motion to dismiss filed by the defendants on two counts. In 2019, all claims were settled between Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc. and the gas producers, and all claims against DETI and Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc. were dismissed with no material impact to Dominion Energy or Dominion Energy Gas’ results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
FERC
FERC staff in the Office of Enforcement, Division of Investigations, conducted a non-public investigation of Virginia Power’s offers of combustion turbines generators into the PJM day-ahead markets from April 2010 through September 2014. FERC staff notified Virginia Power of its preliminary findings relating to Virginia Power’s alleged violation of FERC’s rules in connection with these activities. Virginia Power provided its response to FERC staff’s preliminary findings letter explaining why Virginia Power’s conduct was lawful and refuting any allegation of wrongdoing. In May 2019, FERC issued an order approving an agreement between Virginia Power and FERC staff that settled any and all potential claims relating to the types of activities that were the subject of the investigation, under which Virginia Power neither admits nor denies the alleged violations and paid $7 million in disgorgement to PJM and a $7 million penalty to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Nuclear Matters
In March 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami caused significant damage at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station in northeast Japan. These events resulted in significant nuclear safety reviews by the NRC and industry groups such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations. Like other U.S. nuclear operators, Dominion Energy has gathered supporting data and participated in industry initiatives focused on the ability to respond to and mitigate the consequences of, design-basis and beyond-design-basis events at its stations.
In July 2011, an NRC task force provided initial recommendations based on its review of the Fukushima Daiichi accident and in October 2011 the NRC staff prioritized these recommendations into Tiers 1, 2 and 3. Tier 1 recommendations consisted of actions which the NRC staff determined should be started without unnecessary delay. Tier 2 and 3 items consisted of items which could not be initiated in the near term because of resource restraints, the need for further technical assessment, or were dependent on activities related to the higher priority Tier 1 issues. In December 2011, the NRC Commissioners approved the agency staff’s prioritization and recommendations, and that same month an appropriations act directed the NRC to require reevaluation of external hazards (not limited to seismic and flooding hazards) as soon as possible.
Based on the prioritized recommendations, in March 2012, the NRC issued orders and information requests requiring specific reviews and actions to all operating reactor licensees, construction permit holders and combined license holders based on the lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi event. The orders applicable to Dominion Energy requiring implementation of safety enhancements related to mitigation strategies for responding to extreme natural events resulting in the loss of power at plants, and enhancing spent fuel pool instrumentation have been implemented. The information requests issued by the NRC requested each reactor licensee to reevaluate the seismic and external flooding hazards at their facility using
present-day
methods and information, conduct walkdowns of their facility to ensure protection against these hazards in their current design basis, and to reevaluate their emergency communications systems and staffing levels. The walkdowns of each unit have been completed, audited by the NRC and found to be adequate. Reevaluation of the emergency communications systems and staffing levels was completed as part of the effort to comply with the orders. Reevaluation of the seismic hazards is complete and final with NRC acceptance received for all Dominion Energy facilities. Reevaluation of the external flooding hazards is complete for all Dominion Energy facilities. However, NRC acceptance of the external flooding hazards reevaluations for Millstone and Surry have not yet been received. NRC is expected to accept these external flooding hazards analyses in 2020. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power do not currently expect that compliance with the NRC’s information requests will materially impact their financial position, results of operations or cash flows during the implementation period. The NRC staff has resolved the Tier 2 and Tier 3 recommendations and no additional future actions on the part of Dominion Energy are anticipated with respect to these recommendations. Therefore, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power do not expect material financial impacts related to compliance with Tier 2 and Tier 3 recommendations.
Nuclear Operations
Nuclear Decommissioning—Minimum Financial Assurance
The NRC requires nuclear power plant owners to annually update minimum financial assurance amounts for the future decommissioning of their nuclear facilities. Decommissioning involves the decontamination and removal of radioactive contaminants from a nuclear power station once operations have ceased, in accordance with standards established by the NRC.

|  |  |  |  | 183 |

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
The 2019 calculation for the NRC minimum financial assurance amount, aggregated for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear units, excluding joint owners’ assurance amounts and Millstone Unit 1 and Kewaunee, as those units are in a decommissioning state, was $2.8 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, and has been satisfied by a combination of the funds being collected and deposited in the nuclear decommissioning trusts and the real annual rate of return growth of the funds allowed by the NRC. The 2019 NRC minimum financial assurance amounts above were calculated using preliminary December 31, 2019 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indices. Dominion Energy believes that the amounts currently available in its decommissioning trusts and their expected earnings will be sufficient to cover expected decommissioning costs for the Millstone and Kewaunee units. Virginia Power also believes that the decommissioning funds and their expected earnings for the Surry and North Anna units will be sufficient to cover decommissioning costs, particularly when combined with future ratepayer collections and contributions to these decommissioning trusts, if such future collections and contributions are required. This reflects a positive long-term outlook for trust fund investment returns as the decommissioning of the units will not be complete for decades. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power will continue to monitor these trusts to ensure they meet the NRC minimum financial assurance requirement, which may include, if needed, the use of parent company guarantees, surety bonding or other financial instruments recognized by the NRC. See Note 9 for additional information on nuclear decommissioning trust investments.
Nuclear Insurance
The Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988 provides the public up to $14.1 billion of liability protection on a per site, per nuclear incident basis, via obligations required of owners of nuclear power plants, and allows for an inflationary provision adjustment every five years. During the second quarter of 2019, the total liability protection per nuclear incident available to all participants in the Secondary Financial Protection Program decreased from $14.1 billion to $13.9 billion. This decrease does not impact Dominion Energy’s responsibility per active unit under the Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have purchased $450 million of coverage from commercial insurance pools for Millstone, Surry and North Anna with the remainder provided through the mandatory industry retrospective rating plan. In the event of a nuclear incident at any licensed nuclear reactor in the U.S., Dominion Energy and Virginia Power could be assessed up to $138 million for each of their licensed reactors not to exceed $21 million per year per reactor. There is no limit to the number of incidents for which this retrospective premium can be assessed. The NRC granted an exemption in March 2015 to remove Kewaunee from the Secondary Financial Protection program. This same exemption permitted Dominion Energy to reduce Kewaunee’s required level of liability coverage to $100 million. This reduction was implemented in January 2018, following the removal and storage of the spent nuclear fuel from the spent fuel pool. The current levels of nuclear property insurance coverage for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear units are as follows:

|  | Coverage |
(billions) |  |  |  |
Dominion Energy |  |  |  |
Millstone |  | $ | 1.70 |
Kewaunee |  |  | 0.05 |
Summer |  |  | 2.75 |
Virginia Power (1) |  |  |  |
Surry |  | $ | 1.70 |
North Anna |  |  | 1.70 |

(1) | Surry and North Anna share a blanket property limit of $200 million.

Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear property insurance coverage for Millstone, Surry and North Anna exceeds the NRC minimum requirement for nuclear power plant licensees of $1.06 billion per reactor site. In March 2015, the NRC granted an exemption which allowed Kewaunee to reduce its property insurance limit to $50 million. This reduction was implemented in January 2018, following the removal and storage of the spent nuclear fuel from the spent fuel pool. This includes coverage for premature decommissioning and functional total loss. The NRC requires that the proceeds from this insurance be used first, to return the reactor to and maintain it in a safe and stable condition and second, to decontaminate the reactor and station site in accordance with a plan approved by the NRC. Nuclear property insurance is provided by NEIL, a mutual insurance company, and is subject to retrospective premium assessments in any policy year in which losses exceed the funds available to the insurance company. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s maximum retrospective premium assessment for the current policy period is $81 million and $50 million, respectively. Based on the severity of the incident, the Board of Directors of the nuclear insurer has the discretion to lower or eliminate the maximum retrospective premium assessment. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have the financial responsibility for any losses that exceed the limits or for which insurance proceeds are not available because they must first be used for stabilization and decontamination.
Millstone and Virginia Power also purchase accidental outage insurance from NEIL to mitigate certain expenses, including replacement power costs, associated with the prolonged outage of a nuclear unit due to direct physical damage. Under this program, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are subject to a retrospective premium assessment for any policy year in which losses exceed funds available to NEIL. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s maximum retrospective premium assessment for the current policy period is $31 million and $10 million, respectively.
ODEC, a part owner of North Anna, and Massachusetts Municipal and Green Mountain, part owners of Millstone’s Unit 3, are responsible to Dominion Energy and Virginia Power for their share of the nuclear decommissioning obligation and insurance premiums on applicable units, including any retrospective premium assessments and any losses not covered by insurance.
Under Price-Anderson, DESC (for itself and on behalf of Santee-Cooper) maintains agreements of indemnity with the NRC that, together with private insurance, cover third-party liability arising from any nuclear incident occurring at Summer. Price-Anderson provides funds up to $14.0 billion for public liability claims that could arise from a single nuclear incident. Each nuclear plant is insured against this liability to a maximum of $450 million by American Nuclear Insurers with the remaining coverage provided by a mandatory program of

184 |  |  |  |  |  |

deferred premiums that could be assessed, after a nuclear incident, against all owners of commercial nuclear reactors. Each reactor licensee is liable for up to $138 million per reactor owned for each nuclear incident occurring at any reactor in the U.S., provided that not more than $21 million of the liability per reactor would be assessed per year. DESC’s maximum assessment, based on its
two-thirds
ownership of Summer, would be $92 million per incident, but not more than $14 million per year. Both the maximum assessment per reactor and the maximum yearly assessment are adjusted for inflation at least every five years.
DESC currently maintains insurance policies (for itself and on behalf of Santee Cooper) with NEIL. The policies provide coverage to Summer for property damage and outage costs up to $2.75 billion resulting from an event of nuclear origin and up to $2.33 billion resulting from an event of a
non-nuclear
origin. The NEIL policies in aggregate, are subject to a maximum loss of $2.75 billion for any single loss occurrence. The NEIL policies permit retrospective assessments under certain conditions to cover insurer’s losses. Based on the current annual premium, DESC’s portion of the retrospective premium assessment would not exceed $24 million. DESC currently maintains an excess property insurance policy (for itself and on behalf of Santee Cooper) with the European Mutual Association for Nuclear Insurance. The policy provides coverage to Summer for property damage and outage costs up to $415 million resulting from an event of a
non-nuclear
origin. The European Mutual Association for Nuclear Insurance policy permits retrospective assessments under certain conditions to cover insurer’s losses. Based on the current annual premium, DESC’s portion of the retrospective premium assessment would not exceed $2 million.
To the extent that insurable claims for property damage, decontamination, repair and replacement and other costs and expenses arising from an incident at Summer exceed the policy limits of insurance, or to the extent such insurance becomes unavailable in the future, and to the extent that DESC’s rates would not recover the cost of any purchased replacement power, DESC will retain the risk of loss as a self-insurer. DESC has no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear or other incident. However, if such an incident were to occur, it likely would have a material impact on DESC’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Spent Nuclear Fuel
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power entered into contracts with the DOE for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel under provisions of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. The DOE failed to begin accepting the spent fuel on January 31, 1998, the date provided by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act and by Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s contracts with the DOE. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have previously received damages award payments and settlement payments related to these contracts.
By mutual agreement of the parties, the settlement agreements are extendable to provide for resolution of damages incurred after 2013. The settlement agreements for the Surry, North Anna and Millstone nuclear power stations have been extended to provide for periodic payments for damages incurred through December 31, 2019, and additional extensions are contemplated by the settlement agreements. A similar agreement for Summer extends until the DOE has accepted the same amount of spent fuel from the
facility as if it has fully performed its contractual obligations. In June 2018, a lawsuit for Kewaunee was filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for recovery of spent nuclear fuel storage costs incurred for the period January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2017. In March 2019, Dominion Energy amended its filing for recovery of spent nuclear fuel storage to include costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2018. This matter is pending.
In 2019, Virginia Power received payments of $15 million for resolution of claims incurred at North Anna and Surry for the period of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 and $11 million for resolution of claims incurred at Millstone for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. In 2019, Dominion Energy received payment of $3 million for resolution of its share of claims incurred at Summer for the period of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.
In 2018, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy received payments of $16 million for resolution of claims incurred at North Anna and Surry for the period of January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, and $13 million for resolution of claims incurred at Millstone for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.
In 2017, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy received payments of $22 million for resolution of claims incurred at North Anna and Surry for the period of January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, and $14 million for resolution of claims incurred at Millstone for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power continue to recognize receivables for certain spent nuclear fuel-related costs that they believe are probable of recovery from the DOE. Dominion Energy’s receivables for spent nuclear fuel-related costs totaled $52 million and $49 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Virginia Power’s receivables for spent nuclear fuel-related costs totaled $35 million and $30 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power will continue to manage their spent fuel until it is accepted by the DOE.
Long-Term Purchase Agreements
At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had the following long-term commitments that are noncancelable or are cancelable only under certain conditions, and that a third party has used to secure financing for the facility that will provide the contracted goods or services:

|  | 2020 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | Thereafter |  |  | Total |

(1) | Commitments represent estimated amounts payable for energy under power purchase contracts with qualifying facilities which expire at various dates through 2046. Energy payments are generally based on fixed dollar amounts per month and totaled $29 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Guarantees, Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit
In October 2017, Dominion Energy entered into a guarantee agreement to support a portion of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s obligation under a $3.4 billion revolving credit facility with a

|  |  |  |  | 185 |

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
stated maturity date of October 2021. Dominion Energy’s maximum potential loss exposure under the terms of the guarantee is limited to 48% of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, an equal percentage to Dominion Energy’s ownership in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. As of December 31, 2019, Atlantic Coast Pipeline has borrowed $1.8 billion against the revolving credit facility and borrowed an additional $27 million in January and February 2020. Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheet includes a liability of $14 million and $21 million associated with this guarantee agreement at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
In addition, at December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had issued an additional $27 million of guarantees, primarily to support other equity method investees. No amounts related to the other guarantees have been recorded.
Dominion Energy also enters into guarantee arrangements on behalf of its consolidated subsidiaries, primarily to facilitate their commercial transactions with third parties. If any of these subsidiaries fail to perform or pay under the contracts and the counterparties seek performance or payment, Dominion Energy would be obligated to satisfy such obligation. To the extent that a liability subject to a guarantee has been incurred by one of Dominion Energy’s consolidated subsidiaries, that liability is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Dominion Energy is not required to recognize liabilities for guarantees issued on behalf of its subsidiaries unless it becomes probable that it will have to perform under the guarantees. Terms of the guarantees typically end once obligations have been paid. Dominion Energy currently believes it is unlikely that it would be required to perform or otherwise incur any losses associated with guarantees of its subsidiaries’ obligations.
At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had issued the following subsidiary guarantees:

|  | Maximum Exposure |
(millions) |  |  |
Commodity transactions (1) |  | $ | 2,215 |
Nuclear obligations (2) |  |  | 182 |
Cove Point (3) |  |  | 1,900 |
Solar (4) |  |  | 477 |
Other (5) |  |  | 377 |
Total (6) |  | $ | 5,151 |

(1) | Guarantees related to commodity commitments of certain subsidiaries. These guarantees were provided to counterparties in order to facilitate physical and financial transaction related commodities and services.

(2) | Guarantees primarily related to certain DGI subsidiaries’ regarding all aspects of running a nuclear facility.

(3) | Guarantees related to Cove Point, in support of terminal services, transportation and construction. Cove Point has two guarantees that have no maximum limit and, therefore, are not included in this amount.

(4) | Includes guarantees to facilitate the development of solar projects. Also includes guarantees entered into by DGI on behalf of certain subsidiaries to facilitate the acquisition and development of solar projects.

(5) | Guarantees related to other miscellaneous contractual obligations such as leases, environmental obligations, construction projects and insurance programs. Due to the uncertainty of worker’s compensation claims, the parental guarantee has no stated limit.

(6) | Excludes Dominion Energy’s guarantees for the new corporate office properties discussed further within Note 15.

Additionally, at December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had purchased $163 million of surety bonds, including $77 million at Virginia Power and $26 million at Dominion Energy Gas, and
authorized the issuance of letters of credit by financial institutions of $89 million to facilitate commercial transactions by its subsidiaries with third parties. Under the terms of surety bonds, the Companies are obligated to indemnify the respective surety bond company for any amounts paid.
Indemnifications
As part of commercial contract negotiations in the normal course of business, the Companies may sometimes agree to make payments to compensate or indemnify other parties for possible future unfavorable financial consequences resulting from specified events. The specified events may involve an adverse judgment in a lawsuit or the imposition of additional taxes due to a change in tax law or interpretation of the tax law. The Companies are unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of any other future payments under these contracts because events that would obligate them have not yet occurred or, if any such event has occurred, they have not been notified of its occurrence. However, at December 31, 2019, the Companies believe any other future payments, if any, that could ultimately become payable under these contract provisions, would not have a material impact on their results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Note 24. Credit Risk
Dominion Energy
As a diversified energy company, Dominion Energy transacts primarily with major companies in the energy industry and with commercial and residential energy consumers. These transactions principally occur in the Northeast,
mid-Atlantic,
Midwest and Rocky Mountain and Southeast regions of the U.S. Dominion Energy does not believe that this geographic concentration contributes significantly to its overall exposure to credit risk. In addition, as a result of its large and diverse customer base, Dominion Energy is not exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk for receivables arising from electric and gas utility operations.
Dominion Energy’s exposure to credit risk is concentrated primarily within its energy marketing and price risk management activities, as Dominion Energy transacts with a smaller, less diverse group of counterparties and transactions may involve large notional volumes and potentially volatile commodity prices. Energy marketing and price risk management activities include marketing of merchant generation output, structured transactions and the use of financial contracts for enterprise-wide hedging purposes. Gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized
on-
or
off-balance
sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights. Gross credit exposure is calculated prior to the application of any collateral. At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy’s credit exposure totaled $233 million. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 88%, and no single counterparty, whether investment grade or
non-investment
grade, exceeded $61 million of exposure.
Virginia Power
Virginia Power sells electricity and provides distribution and transmission services to customers in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Management believes that this geographic concentration risk is mitigated by the diversity of Virginia Power’s

186 |  |  |  |  |  |

customer base, which includes residential, commercial and industrial customers, as well as rural electric cooperatives and municipalities. Credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable from energy consumers is limited due to the large number of customers. Virginia Power’s exposure to potential concentrations of credit risk results primarily from sales to wholesale customers. Virginia Power’s gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized
on-
or
off-balance
sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights. Gross credit exposure is calculated prior to the application of collateral. At December 31, 2019, Virginia Power’s credit exposure totaled $71 million. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 96%, and no single counterparty exceeded $61 million of exposure.
Dominion Energy Gas
Dominion Energy Gas transacts mainly with major companies in the energy industry. These transactions principally occur in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S. Dominion Energy Gas does not believe that this geographic concentration contributes to its overall exposure to credit risk. In addition, as a result of its large and diverse customer base, Dominion Energy Gas is not exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk for receivables arising from its regulated operations. Dominion Energy Gas’ gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized
on-
or
off-balance
sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights. Gross credit exposure is calculated prior to the application of collateral. At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy Gas’ credit exposure totaled $46 million. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 81%, and no single counterparty, whether investment grade or
non-investment
grade, exceeded $9 million of exposure.
Upon the Liquefaction Facility commencing commercial operations in April 2018, the majority of Cove Point’s revenue and earnings are expected to be generated from annual reservation payments under certain terminalling, storage and transportation contracts with the Export Customers. If such agreements were terminated and Cove Point was unable to replace such agreements on comparable terms, there could be a material impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Export Customers comprised approximately 34% and 32% of Dominion Energy Gas’ operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with Dominion Energy Gas’ largest customer representing approximately 17% and 12% of such amounts.
In 2019, DETI provided service to 296 customers with approximately 98% of its storage and transportation revenue being provided through firm services. The ten largest customers provided approximately 38% of the total storage and transportation revenue and the thirty largest provided approximately 72% of the total storage and transportation revenue.
Credit-Related Contingent Provisions
The majority of Dominion Energy’s derivative instruments contain credit-related contingent provisions. These provisions require Dominion Energy to provide collateral upon the occurrence of specific events, primarily a credit rating downgrade. If the credit-related contingent features underlying these instruments that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash were
fully triggered as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, Dominion Energy would have been required to post an additional $10 million and $1 million, respectively, of collateral to its counterparties. The collateral that would be required to be posted includes the impacts of any offsetting asset positions and any amounts already posted for derivatives,
non-derivative
contracts and derivatives elected under the normal purchases and normal sales exception, per contractual terms. Dominion Energy had posted no collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018, related to derivatives with credit-related contingent provisions that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-related contingent provisions that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $10 million and $1 million, respectively, which does not include the impact of any offsetting asset positions.
If the credit-related contingent features underlying these instruments that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash were fully triggered as of December 31, 2019, Virginia Power would have been required to post an additional $8 million of collateral to its counterparties. Credit-related contingent provisions for Virginia Power were not material as of December 31, 2018.
Credit-related contingent provisions for Dominion Energy Gas were not material as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
See Note 7 for further information about derivative instruments.
Note 25. Related-party Transactions
Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas engage in related party transactions primarily with other Dominion Energy subsidiaries (affiliates). Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ receivable and payable balances with affiliates are settled based on contractual terms or on a monthly basis, depending on the nature of the underlying transactions. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas are included in Dominion Energy’s consolidated federal income tax return and, where applicable, combined income tax returns for Dominion Energy are filed in various states.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Dominion Energy
Senior management of Dominion Energy, including Dominion Energy’s CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of Dominion Energy’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation process, Dominion Energy’s CEO and CFO have concluded that Dominion Energy’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Dominion Energy’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Dominion Energy understands and accepts responsibility for Dominion Energy’s financial statements and related disclosures and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (internal control). Dominion Energy continuously strives to identify opportunities to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of internal control, just as Dominion Energy does throughout all aspects of its business.
Dominion Energy maintains a system of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance, at a reasonable cost, that its assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and that transactions are executed and recorded in accordance with established procedures. This system includes written policies, an organizational structure designed to ensure appropriate segregation of responsibilities, careful selection and training of qualified personnel and internal audits.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Dominion Energy, composed entirely of independent directors, meets periodically with the independent registered public accounting firm, the internal auditors and management to discuss auditing, internal control, and financial reporting matters of Dominion Energy and to ensure that each is properly discharging its responsibilities. Both the independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditors periodically meet alone with the Audit Committee and have free access to the Audit Committee at any time.
SEC rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require Dominion Energy’s 2019 Annual Report to contain a management’s report and a report of the independent registered public accounting firm regarding the effectiveness of internal control. As a basis for the report, Dominion Energy tested and evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls. Based on its assessment as of December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy makes the following assertions:
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting of Dominion Energy.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
Management evaluated Dominion Energy‘s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that Dominion Energy maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.
Dominion Energy’s independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to express an opinion on Dominion Energy‘s internal control over financial reporting, as stated in their report which is included herein.
In January 2019, Dominion Energy acquired SCANA. Dominion Energy excluded all of the acquired SCANA businesses from the scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of Dominion Energy’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. SCANA constituted 19% of Dominion Energy’s total revenues for 2019 and 17% of Dominion Energy’s total assets as of December 31, 2019.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Dominion Energy, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Dominion Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Dominion Energy”) at December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, Dominion Energy maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2019, of Dominion Energy and our report dated February 28, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
As described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting the legacy SCANA Corporation businesses (the “SCANA businesses”), which were acquired on January 1, 2019, and which constitute 19% of total revenues and 17% of total assets of the consolidated financial statement amounts at and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting of SCANA businesses.
Basis for Opinion
Dominion Energy’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Dominion Energy’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Dominion Energy in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
