Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 8. Fair Value Measurements The Companies’ fair value measurements are made in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 9 in this report for additional information about the Companies’ derivatives and hedge accounting activities. The Companies enter into certain physical and financial forwards, futures and options, 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 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 September 30, 2022. The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs and percentages for price volatility.

Sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs is as follows:
Significant Unobservable Inputs |  | Position |  | Change to Input |  | Impact on Fair Value Measurement
Market price |  | Buy |  | Increase (decrease) |  | Gain (loss)
Market price |  | Sell |  | Increase (decrease) |  | Loss (gain)
Price volatility |  | Buy |  | Increase (decrease) |  | Gain (loss)
Price volatility |  | Sell |  | Increase (decrease) |  | Loss (gain)
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements In the second quarter of 2021, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $20 million ($15 million after-tax) in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income to write off substantially all of the long-lived assets of its nonregulated retail software development operations to their estimated fair value, using a market approach, of less than $1 million. The valuation is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement given that it is based on bids received. See Note 10 for information regarding nonrecurring fair value measurements associated with Dominion Energy’s noncontrolling ownership interest in Dominion Privatization. Recurring Fair Value Measurements Dominion Energy The following table presents Dominion Energy’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for each hierarchy level, including both current and noncurrent portions:

There were no unrealized gains or losses included in earnings in the Level 3 fair value category relating to assets/liabilities still held at the reporting date for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. 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, mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, 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:
|  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | December 31, 2021 |
|  | 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 and discount or premium. At December 31, 2021 the carrying amount includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with fixed rate debt of $2 million. There were no fair value hedges associated with fixed rate debt at September 30, 2022.
(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.
