Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Significant Financing Transactions | Note 16. Significant Financing Transactions Credit Facilities and Short-term Debt 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. Other than the items discussed below, there have been no significant changes regarding the Companies’ credit facilities and short-term debt as described in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Dominion Energy Dominion Energy’s short-term financing is supported by its $6.0 billion joint revolving credit facility that provides for a discount in the pricing of certain annual fees and amounts borrowed by Dominion Energy under the facility if Dominion Energy achieves certain annual renewable electric generation and diversity and inclusion objectives. At September 30, 2023, Dominion Energy’s commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding, as well as its capacity available under the credit facility, were as follows:
|  | Facility Limit |  |  | Outstanding Commercial Paper |  |  | Outstanding Letters of Credit |  |  | Facility Capacity Available |
(millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Joint revolving credit facility(1) |  | $ | 6,000 |  |  | $ | 3,362 |  |  | $ | 16 |  |  | $ | 2,622 |
(1) This credit facility matures in June 2026, with the potential to be extended by the borrowers to June 2028, 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. DESC and Questar Gas’ short-term financings are supported through access as co-borrowers to the joint revolving credit facility discussed above with the Companies. At September 30, 2023, the sub-limits for DESC and Questar Gas were $500 million and $250 million, respectively. In March 2023, FERC granted DESC authority through March 2025 to issue short-term indebtedness (pursuant to Section 204 of the Federal Power Act) in amounts not to exceed $2.2 billion outstanding with maturity dates of one year or less. In addition, in March 2023, FERC granted GENCO authority through March 2025 to issue short-term indebtedness not to exceed $200 million outstanding with maturity dates of one year or less. In addition to the credit facility mentioned above and Virginia Power's letter of credit facilities mentioned below, Dominion Energy also has a credit facility which allows Dominion Energy to issue up to approximately $30 million in letters of credit and will mature in June 2024. At both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had $25 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility. In March 2023, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement with a financial institution which it expects to allow it to issue up to $100 million in letters of credit. At September 30, 2023, $57 million in letters of credit were issued and outstanding under this agreement. Dominion Energy has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for the sale of up to $3.0 billion of variable denomination floating rate demand notes, called Dominion Energy Reliability Investment SM as disclosed in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $423 million and $347 million, respectively, with respect to such notes presented within short-term debt. The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt. In January 2023, Dominion Energy entered into a $2.5 billion 364-Day term loan facility which bears interest at a variable rate and will mature in January 2024 with the proceeds to be used to repay existing long-term debt and short-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes. Concurrently, Dominion Energy borrowed an initial $1.0 billion with the proceeds used to repay long-term debt. In February and March 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $500 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes and to repay long-term debt. At September 30, 2023, Dominion Energy's Consolidated Balance Sheet includes $2.5 billion with respect to such facility presented within securities due within one year. The maximum allowed total debt to total capital ratio under the facility is consistent with such allowed ratio under Dominion Energy’s joint revolving credit facility. In July 2023, Dominion Energy entered into two $600 million 364-day term loan facilities which bore interest at a variable rate and were scheduled to mature in July 2024 with the proceeds to be used to repay existing long-term debt and/or short-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes. Subsequently in July 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed an initial $750 million in the aggregate under these facilities with the proceeds used to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. Dominion Energy was permitted to make up to three additional borrowings under each agreement through November 2023, at which point any unused capacity would cease to be available to Dominion Energy. The agreements contained certain mandatory early repayment provisions, including that any after-tax proceeds in connection with a sale of Dominion Energy’s noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, following the repayment of DECP Holding’s term loan secured by its noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, be applied to any outstanding borrowings under the facilities. In September 2023, Dominion Energy repaid the $750 million borrowing with after-tax proceeds from the sale of Dominion Energy’s noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, as discussed in Note 10. Subsequently in September 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $225 million in the aggregate under these facilities with the proceeds used to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. In October 2023, Dominion Energy repaid the $225 million borrowing and terminated the facilities along with any remaining unused commitments. In connection with the sale of Dominion Energy's remaining noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, as discussed in Note 10, related credit facilities that allowed DECP Holdings to issue up to $110 million in letters of credit were cancelled in September 2023. In October 2023, Dominion Energy entered into a $2.25 billion 364-Day term loan facility which bears interest at a variable rate and will mature in October 2024 with the proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. Concurrently, Dominion Energy borrowed an initial $1.0 billion with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes, including to repay short-term and long-term debt. Dominion Energy is permitted to make up to three additional borrowings under the agreement through February 2024, at which point any unused capacity will cease to be available to Dominion Energy. Dominion Energy also has the ability through August 2024 to request an increase in the amount of this facility by up to an additional $500 million. The agreement contains certain mandatory early repayment provisions, including that any after-tax proceeds in connection with the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions, following the repayment of the 364-day term loan facility entered into in January 2023, be applied to any outstanding borrowings under this facility. The maximum allowed total debt to total capital ratio under this facility is consistent with such allowed ratio under Dominion Energy’s joint revolving credit facility. Virginia Power Virginia Power’s short-term financing is supported through its access as co-borrower to Dominion Energy’s $6.0 billion joint revolving credit facility. The credit facility can be used for working capital, as support for the combined commercial paper programs of the borrowers under the credit facility and for other general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2023, Virginia Power’s share of commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding under the joint revolving credit facility with Dominion Energy, Questar Gas and DESC was as follows:
|  | Facility Limit(1) |  |  | Outstanding Commercial Paper |  |  | Outstanding Letters of Credit |
(millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Joint revolving credit facility(1) |  | $ | 6,000 |  |  | $ | 942 |  |  | $ | 10 |
(1) The full amount of the facility is available to Virginia Power, less any amounts outstanding to co-borrowers Dominion Energy, Questar Gas and DESC. The sub-limit for Virginia Power is set pursuant to the terms of the facility but can be changed at the option of the borrowers multiple times per year. At September 30, 2023, the sub-limit for Virginia Power was $1.75 billion. If Virginia Power has liquidity needs in excess of its sub-limit, the sub-limit may be changed or such needs may be satisfied through short-term intercompany borrowings from Dominion Energy. This credit facility matures in June 2026, with the potential to be extended by the borrowers to June 2028. The credit facility can be used to support bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper, as well as to support up to $2.0 billion (or the sub-limit, whichever is less) of letters of credit. In January 2023, Virginia Power entered into a letter of credit facility which allows Virginia Power to issue up to $125 million in letters of credit and matures in January 2026. At September 30, 2023, less than $1 million in letters of credit were issued and outstanding under this facility with no amounts drawn under the letters of credit. In March 2023, Virginia Power entered into an agreement with a financial institution, which it expects to allow it to issue up to $200 million in letters of credit. At September 30, 2023, $7 0 million in letters of credit were issued and outstanding under this agreement. Long-term Debt Unless otherwise noted, the proceeds of long-term debt issuances were used for general corporate purposes and/or to repay short-term debt. In March 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $450 million under its Sustainability Revolving Credit Agreement, which, as described in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, matures in 2024 and bears interest at a variable rate with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes. In April 2023 Dominion Energy repaid $450 million borrowed for general corporate purposes. In September 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $450 million under this facility with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $900 million and $450 million, respectively, with respect to this facility. In October 2023, Dominion Energy repaid $450 million borrowed for general corporate purposes. In March 2023, Virginia Power issued $750 million of 5.00% senior notes and $750 million of 5.45% senior notes that mature in 2033 and 2053, respectively. In June 2023, Virginia Power remarketed three series of tax-exempt bonds, with an aggregate outstanding principal of $160 million to new investors. All three series of bonds will bear interest at a coupon of 3.65% until October 2027, after which they will bear interest at a market rate to be determined at that time. In August 2023, Virginia Power issued $400 million of 5.30% senior notes and $600 million of 5.70% senior notes that mature in 2033 and 2053, respectively. In connection with the sale of Dominion Energy's interest in Cove Point, described further in Note 10, DECP Holdings' outstanding term loan balance of $2.2 billion was repaid in September 2023. This term loan was scheduled to mature in December 2024. In October 2023, DESC issued $500 million of 6.25% first mortgage bonds that mature in 2053. In November 2023, PSNC completed pricing and expects to issue through private placement in November 2023 $75 million of 6.16% and $75 million of 6.73% senior notes that will mature in 2033 and 2053, respectively. Derivative Restructuring In August 2020, Virginia Power amended a portfolio of interest rate swaps with a notional value of $900 million, extending the mandatory termination dates, as discussed in Note 18 to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In March 2023, Virginia Power settled the remaining outstanding interest rate swaps which would have otherwise matured in December 2023, resulting in a $448 million reduction in securities due within one year. Preferred Stock Dominion Energy is authorized to issue up to 20 million shares of preferred stock, which may be designated into separate classes. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had issued and outstanding 1.8 million shares of preferred stock, 0.8 million and 1.0 million of which were designated as the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, respectively. Dominion Energy recorded dividends of $12 million ($7.292 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, on the Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, Dominion Energy recorded interest expense of $5 million and $7 million on the Series A Preferred Stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, following the reclassification of these shares to a mandatorily redeemable liability effective June 2022. Dominion Energy recorded dividends of $9 million ($11.625 per share) for both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and $27 million ($34.875 per share) for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 on the Series B Preferred Stock. Dominion Energy recorded dividends of $11 million ($10.875 per share) for both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and $33 million ($32.625 per share) for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 on the Series C Preferred Stock. There have been no significant changes to Dominion Energy’s Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as described in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 2019 Corporate Units The 2019 Equity Units, initially issued in the form of 2019 Series A Corporate Units, are described in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Equity Units, Dominion Energy conducted a final remarketing of substantially all shares of Series A Preferred Stock in May 2022 which resulted in the dividend rate for all shares of Series A Preferred Stock being reset to 1.75% for the June 2022 through August 2022 dividend period and 6.75% effective September 2022. The conversion rate on the Series A Preferred Stock did not increase as a result of the remarketing. In May 2022, Dominion Energy received a commitment from a financial institution to purchase up to 1.6 million shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in the final remarketing. Accordingly, following the settlement of the successful remarketing and approval from its Board of Directors in June 2022, Dominion Energy became obligated to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in September 2022. As such, effective June 2022, the Series A Preferred Stock was considered to be mandatorily redeemable and was classified as a current liability. In addition, Dominion Energy made a short-term deposit at the financial institution as described further in Note 10. Proceeds from the final remarketing were used on behalf of holders of 2019 Series A Corporate Units at the time of the remarketing to pay the purchase price to Dominion Energy for the issuance of its common stock under the stock purchase contracts included in such corporate units in June 2022. Issuance of Common Stock Dominion Energy recorded, net of fees and commissions, $91 million from the issuance of 2 million shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $134 million from the issuance of 2 million shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, through various programs including Dominion Energy Direct® and employee savings plans as described in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In August 2023, Dominion Energy began purchasing its common stock on the open market for these direct stock purchase plans.

In October and November 2023, Virginia Power issued 39,455 shares of its common stock to Dominion Energy for $2.6 billion with the proceeds utilized to repay substantially all of the outstanding borrowings under Virginia Power’s intercompany credit facility with Dominion Energy. Virginia Power issued the shares pursuant to a Virginia Commission order authorizing the issuance of up to $3.25 billion of common stock to Dominion Energy through the end of 2023 in order to maintain a common equity capitalization to total capitalization ratio of 52.10% through December 2024 in accordance with legislation enacted in Virginia in April 2023 as discussed in Note 13. At-the-Market Program In August 2020, Dominion Energy entered into sales agency agreements to effect sales under an at-the-market program as discussed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Dominion Energy did not issue any shares or enter into any forward sale agreements under this program in 2023 prior to its expiration in June 2023. Repurchase of Common Stock In November 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of Dominion Energy’s common stock in addition to the $3.0 billion repurchase program authorized in July 2020 and completed in December 2020 as discussed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
