Property, Plant and Equipment

In March 2020, Virginia Power committed to retire certain coal- and oil-fired generating units before the end of their useful lives based on economic and other factors, including but not limited to market power prices and the VCEA. These units will be retired after they meet their capacity obligations to PJM in 2023.As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $754 million ($25561 million after-tax). Additionally, in the first quarter of 2020, primarily included in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income. 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 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Virginia Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, see Note 13 for information on the proposed settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review.

In the second quarter of 2020, Virginia Power recorded charges of $30 million ($22 million after-tax) associated with dismantling certain of these electric generation facilities, recorded in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income.

Asset Retirement Obligations

In the second quarter of 2021, Dominion Energy revised its estimated cash flow projections associated with the depreciable livesrecovery of spent nuclear fuel costs for its merchant generation assets, excluding Millstone, which resulted inAROs associated with the decommissioning of Kewaunee. As a decrease in depreciation expenseresult, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $19$44 million ($1235 million after-tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017within other operations and is expected to decrease annual depreciation by approximately $26 million ($16 million after-tax).


New Accounting Standardsmaintenance expense in its Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issuedthird quarter of 2021, Dominion Energy revised accounting guidanceits estimated cash flow projections associated with certain gas distribution pipeline AROs. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a $252 million decrease to clarifyAROs with a corresponding $173 million decrease to property, plant and equipment, net and the definition of a business. The revised guidance affects the evaluation of whether a transaction should be accounted forremainder primarily recorded as an acquisition or disposition of an asset or a business, which may impact goodwill and related financial statement disclosures.  The Companies have adopted this guidance on a prospective basis effective October 1, 2017.  The adoption of the pronouncement will result in additional transactions being accounted for as asset acquisitions or dispositions.

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued revised accounting guidance for the presentation of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs. The update 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 benefit costs would be classified outside of income from operations. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization during construction. The standard also recognized that in the event that a regulator continuesincrease to require capitalization of all net periodic benefit costs prospectively, the difference would result in recognition of a regulatory asset or liability. The guidance is effective for the Companies’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018, with a retrospective adoption for income statement presentation and a prospective adoption for capitalization. The Companies are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on their consolidated financial statements and disclosures. The Companies are also evaluating industry issues that could potentially create a regulatory accounting difference in the event that any of our state commissions do not adopt the change in capitalization requirements for regulatory reporting.liabilities.

Note 3. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Dominion EnergyDisposition of Gas Transmission & Storage Operations

Acquisition of

In July 2020, Dominion Energy Questar

entered into an agreement with BHE with a total value of approximately $10 billion, comprised of approximately $4.0 billion of cash consideration (subject to customary closing adjustments) plus the assumption of long-term debt, to sell substantially all of its gas transmission and storage operations, including processing assets, as well as noncontrolling partnership interests in Iroquois, JAX LNG and White River Hub and a controlling interest in Cove Point (consisting of 100% of the general partner interest and 25% of the total limited partner interests). The agreement provides that Dominion Energy retains the assets and obligations of the pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans associated with the operations included in the transaction and relating to services provided through closing. In September 2016,October 2020, pursuant to a provision in the agreement with BHE, Dominion Energy elected to exclude the Q-Pipe Group from the transaction as approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act had not been obtained by mid-September 2020. Concurrently in October 2020, Dominion Energy and BHE entered into a separate agreement under which Dominion Energy would sell the Q-Pipe Group for cash consideration of $1.3 billion and the assumption of related long-term debt.  In November 2020, Dominion Energy completed the Dominion Energy Questar Combination and Dominion Energy Questar became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy. Dominion Energy Questar, a Rockies-based integrated natural gas company, included Questar Gas, Wexpro Company and Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline at closing. Questar Gas has regulated gas distribution operationsGT&S Transaction as discussed in Utah, southwestern Wyoming and southeastern Idaho. Wexpro Company develops and produces natural gas from reserves that are supplied to Questar Gas under a cost-of-service framework. Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline provides FERC-regulated interstate natural gas transportation and storage services in Utah, Wyoming and western Colorado. The Dominion Energy Questar Combination provides Dominion Energy with pipeline infrastructure that provides a principal source of gas supply to Western states. Dominion Energy Questar’s regulated businesses also provide further balance between Dominion Energy’s electric and gas operations.

In accordance with the terms of the Dominion Energy Questar Combination, at closing, each share of issued and outstanding Dominion Energy Questar common stock was converted into the right to receive $25.00 per share in cash. The total consideration was $4.4 billion based on 175.5 million shares of Dominion Energy Questar outstanding at closing.

Dominion Energy financed the Dominion Energy Questar Combination through the: (1) August 2016 issuance of $1.4 billion of 2016 Equity Units, (2) August 2016 issuance of $1.3 billion of senior notes, (3) September 2016 borrowing of $1.2 billion under a term loan agreement and (4) $500 million of the proceeds from the April 2016 issuance of common stock.

See Note 3 toIn connection with closing of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for more information on theGT&S Transaction, Dominion Energy Questar Combination including purchase price allocation, regulatory matters and the contribution ofBHE entered into a transition services agreement under which Dominion Energy Questar Pipelinewill continue to provide specified administrative services to support the operations of the disposed business for up to 24 months after closing, subsequently extended through June 2023 for certain services. In addition, BHE will provide certain administrative services to Dominion Energy Midstream. During the third quarter of 2017, certain modifications were made to the valuation amounts for regulatory liabilities, current liabilities and deferred income taxes, resulting in a $6 million net increase to goodwill recorded in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The modifications relate primarily to the finalization ofEnergy. Dominion Energy Questar’s 2016 tax return forrecorded revenue of $5 million and $16 million associated with the period January 1, 2016 through the Dominion Energy Questar Combination, as well as certain regulatory adjustments.

In July 2021, Dominion Energy and BHE mutually agreed to terminate the Q-Pipe Transaction as a result of ongoing uncertainty associated with receiving approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. Dominion Energy simultaneously announced its intention to pursue the divestiture of the Q-Pipe Group to an alternative buyer via competitive sales process with targeted closing, subject to applicable regulatory approval, by the end of 2021. Also in July 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an approximately $1.3 billion term loan credit agreement and borrowed the full amount available thereunder.  The agreement matures in December 2021, which can be extended at Dominion Energy’s option to June 2022, and bears interest at a variable rate. The proceeds were utilized to repay the deposit received from BHE on the Q-Pipe Transaction.  Upon completion of a sale of the Q-Pipe Group, Dominion Energy is required to utilize the net proceeds to repay any outstanding balances under the term loan agreement.

In October 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement with Southwest Gas to sell the Q-Pipe Group. The total value of this transaction is approximately $2 billion, comprised of approximately $1.5 billion of cash consideration (subject to customary closing adjustments) plus the assumption of long-term debt. The agreement provides that Dominion Energy retains the assets and obligations of the pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans associated with the operations included in the transaction and relating to services provided through closing. The sale will be treated as an asset sale for tax purposes and is expected to close by the end of 2021, contingent on clearance or approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and other customary closing and regulatory conditions. Based on the recorded balances at September 30, 2021, Dominion Energy expects to recognize a gain of approximately $685 million ($500 million after-tax) upon closing, including the write-off of $191 million of goodwill, but excluding the effects of any closing adjustments.

The operations included in both the GT&S Transaction and the Q-Pipe Group are presented in held for sale and discontinued operations effective July 2020, at which time depreciation and amortization ceased on the applicable assets. As Cove Point had previously been consolidated within Dominion Energy’s financial statements, balances associated with Cove Point prior to the closing of the GT&S Transaction are presented within held-for-sale and discontinued operations. See Note 10 for further information regarding Dominion Energy’s equity method investment in Cove Point.

In August 2016, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests of two solar projects in California from Solar Frontier Americas Holding LLC for cash consideration. In March 2017, Dominion Energy closed on the acquisition of one of the solar projects for $77 million, all of which was allocated to property, plant and equipment. The facility commenced commercial operations in June 2017, at a cost of $78 million, including the initial acquisition cost, and generates approximately 30 MW. In April 2017, Dominion Energy discontinued efforts on the acquisition of the additional 20 MW solar project from Solar Frontier Americas Holding LLC.Kewaunee

In May 2017, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests of two solar projects in Virginia from Hecate Energy Virginia C&C LLC for cash consideration of $56 million. Dominion Energy completed the acquisition of one of the projects in June 2017 for $16 million and the facility commenced commercial operations in August 2017. The second acquisition was completed in September 2017 for $40 million with commencement of commercial operations expected to occur by the end of 2017. The projects are expected to cost approximately $60 million once constructed, including the initial acquisition costs, and to generate approximately 30 MW combined.

In June 2017, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests of four solar projects in North Carolina from Strata Solar Development, LLC and Moorings Farm 2 Holdco, LLC for cash consideration of $40 million. Dominion Energy completed the acquisition of two of the projects in June 2017 for $20 million. The final two acquisitions were completed in October 2017 for $20 million. Commencement of commercial operations of all the projects is expected to occur by the end of 2017. The projects are expected to cost approximately $45 million once constructed, including the initial acquisition costs, and to generate approximately 19 MW combined.


Long-term power purchase, interconnection and operation and maintenance agreements have been executed for all of the projects described above. These projects are included in Power Generation. Dominion Energy has claimed or will claim federal investment tax credits on these solar projects.

Sale of Interest in Merchant Solar Projects

In September 2015, Dominion Energy signed an agreement to sell a noncontrolling interest (consisting of 33% of the equity interests) in all of its then currently wholly-owned merchant solar projects, 24 solar projects totaling approximately 425 MW, to SunEdison. In December 2015, the sale of interest in 15 of the solar projects closed for $184 million with the sale of interest in the remaining projects completed in January 2016 for $117 million. Upon closing, SunEdison sold its interest in these projects to Terra Nova Renewable Partners. Terra Nova Renewable Partners has a future option to buy all or a portion of Dominion Energy’s remaining 67% ownership in the projects upon the occurrence of certain events, none of which had occurred at September 30, 2017 nor are expected to occur in the remainder of 2017.

Sale of Certain Retail Energy Marketing Assets

In October 2017,2021, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to sell certain assets100% of the equity interests in Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. to EnergySolutions, including the transfer of all decommissioning obligations associated with Kewaunee, which ceased operations in 2013. The agreement provides that Dominion Energy retains the assets and obligations of the pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans.  In addition, Dominion Energy may continue to withdraw funds prior to closing from the nuclear decommissioning trust to recover certain spent nuclear fuel and other permitted costs, subject to certain conditions. The sale will be treated as an asset sale for tax purposes and is subject to termination by either party if not completed by December 2022. Closing is contingent on approval from the Wisconsin Commission as well as the NRC for the transfer of control of applicable licenses.  The purchase agreement requires that EnergySolutions be subject to the Wisconsin regulatory conditions agreed to by Dominion Energy upon its nonregulated retail energy marketing operationsacquisition of Kewaunee, including the return of any excess decommissioning funds to WPSC and WP&L customers following completion of all decommissioning activities.

In May 2021, Dominion Energy and EnergySolutions submitted a license transfer application to the NRC. Also in May 2021, Dominion Energy submitted an application to the Wisconsin Commission for approval. In July 2021, WPSC and WP&L submitted a joint request to the Wisconsin Commission for the waiver of both of their rights of first refusal to purchase Kewaunee, such rights having been granted as the former owners of Kewaunee. At September 30, 2021, Dominion Energy determined that the assets and liabilities associated with the Kewaunee sale did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the timing of or ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals.


Dominion Energy expects to record a loss if and when it determines that criteria for the classification as held for sale have been met. If such classification had been made at September 30, 2021, Dominion Energy would have recognized a loss of approximately $710 million ($565 million after-tax). If the sale is ultimately completed, the final net loss will primarily depend on the value of the nuclear decommissioning trust and AROs at closing.

Acquisition of Birdseye

In May 2021, Dominion Energy acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Birdseye from BRE Holdings, LLC for total consideration of $143$46 million, subject to customary approvalsconsisting of $28 million in cash and $18 million, measured at fair value at closing, of consideration contingent on the achievement of certain adjustments. Pursuantrevenue targets and future development project sales. Birdseye is primarily engaged in the development of solar energy projects in southeastern states in the U.S. with 2.5 GW of solar generation projects under development. The allocation of the purchase price resulted in $25 million of development project assets, primarily reflected in other deferred charges and other assets in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, and $24 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill reflects the value associated with enhancing Dominion Energy's development of regulated and long-term contracted solar generating and electric storage projects. The fair value measurements, including of the assets acquired, were determined using the income approach and are considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to the agreement, Dominion Energy will enter into a commission agreement with the buyer upon the first closing under which the buyer will pay a commissionuse of significant judgmental and unobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of future cash flows. Birdseye is included in connection with the right to use Dominion Energy’s brand in marketing materials and other services over a ten-year term. Dominion Energy is expected to recognize a benefit in other operations and maintenance expense upon each phase of closing, approximately $78 million ($48 million after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2017 and approximately $65 million ($40 million after-tax) in 2018.Contracted Assets.

Virginia Power

Acquisition of Solar Projects

In September 2017, Virginia Power entered into agreements to acquire two solar development projects in North Carolina. The first acquisition is expected to close prior to the project commencing commercial operations, which is expected by the end of 2018, and cost approximately $140 million once constructed, including the initial acquisition cost. The second acquisition is expected to close prior to the project commencing commercial operations, which is expected by the end of 2019, and cost approximately $140 million once constructed, including the initial acquisition cost. The projects are expected to generate approximately 155 MW combined. Virginia Power anticipates claiming federal investment tax credits on these solar projects.

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 recognized $2 million and $10 million in other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, with the remaining $36 million to be recognized ratably through 2023.

Dominion Energy Gas

Assignment of Shale Development Rights

In December 2013, Dominion Energy Gas closed an agreement with a natural gas producer to convey over time approximately 79,000 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 up to approximately $200 million over a period of nine years, and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. In March 2015, Dominion Energy Gas and the natural gas producer closed on an amendment to the agreement, which included the immediate conveyance of approximately 9,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights and a two year extension of the term of the original agreement.  In April 2016, Dominion Energy Gas and the natural gas producer closed on an amendment to the agreement, which included the immediate conveyance of a 32% partial interest in the remaining approximately 70,000 acres. This conveyance resulted in the recognition of $35 million ($21 million after-tax) of previously deferred revenue to other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income. 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 will receive total consideration of $130 million, with $65 million to be received by the end of the fourth quarter 2017 and $65 million to be received by the end of the third quarter of 2018 in connection with the final conveyance. As


a result of this amendment in the third quarter of 2017, Dominion Energy Gas recognized a $56 million ($33 million after-tax) gain included in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income associated with the finalization of the contractual matters on previous conveyances. Additionally, Dominion Energy Gas is expected to recognize an approximately $9 million ($5 million after-tax) gain in the fourth quarter of 2017 associated with the elimination of its overriding royalty interest and an approximately $65 million ($40 million after-tax) gain associated with the final conveyance of acreage.

In November 2014, Dominion Energy Gas closed on 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. In connection with that agreement, in January 2016, Dominion Energy Gas conveyed approximately 2,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights and received proceeds of $5 million and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. This transaction resulted in a $5 million ($3 million after-tax) gain, included in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income. In July 2016, in connection with the existing agreement, Dominion Energy Gas conveyed approximately 2,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights and received proceeds of $5 million and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. This transaction resulted in a $5 million ($3 million after-tax) gain, included in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income. In July 2017, in connection with the existing agreement, Dominion Energy Gas conveyed an additional approximately 2,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights and received proceeds of $5 million and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. This transaction resulted in a $5 million ($3 million after-tax) gain, included in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income.

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 2021. The reversal of these excess deferred income taxes will impact the effective tax rate and rates charged to customers. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for more information.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Companies’ effective tax rates in 2017 for the Companies reflect the completionbenefit of audits bya state tax authorities that resultedlegislative change enacted in the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2016, Virginia Power’s unrecognized tax benefits included state refund claimsApril 2021 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 acceptedbeginning January 1, 2022. Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate reflects a cash offer to settle the refund claims. As a result of the settlement, Virginia Power decreased its unrecognized tax benefits by $8$21 million and recognized a $2 milliondeferred tax benefit, which impacted itsinclusive of a $16 million deferred tax benefit at Virginia Power.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate. Alsorate reflects an income tax benefit of $45 million associated with the remeasurement of consolidated state deferred taxes with the classification of gas transmission and storage operations as held for sale.  In addition, Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate reflects an income tax expense of $55 million attributable to the noncontrolling interest primarily associated with the impairment of solar assets held in connection with this settlement, Virginia Power realized interest incomepartnership form discussed in Note 11.


As of $11 million, which is reflected in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Otherwise, at September 30, 2017,2021, there have been no material changes in the Companies'Companies’ unrecognized tax benefits or possible changes that could reasonably be expected to occur during the next twelve months. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies'Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162020, for a discussion of these unrecognized tax benefits.

Discontinued operations

Income tax expense (benefit) included in discontinued operations is $5 million and $(572) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  2021 income taxes include a $15 million benefit related to finalizing income tax returns on the GT&S Transaction. 2020 income taxes reflect a charge of $81 million for the write-off of tax-related regulatory assets associated with the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project.

Dilutive securities consist primarily of the 2013 Equity Units for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. See Note 17Primarily related to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for more information.shares expected to be issued to settle litigation.

The 20142019 Equity Units and 2016the Q-Pipe Transaction deposit, prior to being settled in cash in July 2021, are potentially dilutive securities. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Note 3, respectively, for additional information. Additionally, the two September 2020 accelerated share purchase agreements were potentially dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 16 for additional information.

The forward stock purchase contracts included within the 2019 Equity Units are potentiallyexcluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, as the dilutive securities but werestock price threshold was not met. The Series A Preferred Stock included within the 2019 Equity Units is excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations based upon the expectation that the conversion will be settled in cash rather than through the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock. As described in Note 16, effective November 2021 any settlement of the conversion up to $1,000 per share is payable in cash, and any amount in excess of $1,000 per share may be settled in cash, common stock or a combination thereof. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the three months ended September 30, 2020, a fair value adjustment related to the Series A Preferred Stock included within the 2019 Equity Units is excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations, as such fair value adjustment was not dilutive during the periods.


The impact of settling the deposit associated with the Q-Pipe Transaction in shares is excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 based upon the expectation Dominion Energy would settle in cash, which occurred in July 2021, rather than through the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock.

The forward stock purchase contracts included within the September 2020 accelerated share repurchase agreements are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2020 as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. The Dominion Energy Midstream convertible preferred units are potentially dilutive securities but had no effect on the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The Companies'Companies’ fair value measurements are made in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies'Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020. See Note 9 in this report for further information about the Companies'Companies’ derivatives and hedge accounting activities.

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, futures and swaps contracts. An option model is used to value Level 3 physical and financial options. The discounted cash flow model for forwards, futures and swaps 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 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 pricing sources.

The following table presents Dominion Energy'sEnergy’s quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements at September 30, 2017.2021.  The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs and percentages for price volatility.

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.  

In the third quarter of 2021, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $16 million ($12 million after-tax) in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income to adjust a corporate office building down to its estimated fair value, using both an income and market approach, of $26 million. The valuation is considered a Level 3 measurement due to the use of significant judgmental and unobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates inherent in the future cash flows and market prices.  The corporate office building is reflected in the Corporate and Other segment and presented as held for sale in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2021.

See Note 3 for information on the nonrecurring fair value measurement associated with the acquisition of Birdseye.

See Notes 10 and 11 for information on nonrecurring fair value measurements associated with charges recorded related to Fowler Ridge and non-wholly-owned nonregulated solar facilities, respectively.

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 issuesissuances with short-term maturities and variable rates refinanced at current market rates is a reasonable estimate of their fair value.

Note 9. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Activities

The Companies'Companies’ accounting policies, objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments are discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies'Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020. See Note 8 in this report for further information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives.

 

Derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross on the Companies'Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dominion Energy'sThe Companies’ 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's and Dominion Energy Gas' derivative contracts consist of over-the-counter transactions. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a counterparty.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,securities, none of which are subject to restrictions. Cash collateral, is usedas presented in the table below, is used to offset derivative assets and liabilities.  Certain accounts receivable and accounts payable recognized on the Companies'Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as letters of credit and other forms of security,securities, as well as certain long-term debt, 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 18 for further information regarding credit-related contingent features for the Companies’ derivative instruments.

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

Fair Value Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and foreign currency exchange rates.qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings and presented in the same line item. There were 0 derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

The following table presents the amounts recorded on the balance sheet related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges, all of which related to discontinued hedging relationships at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Ineffectiveness and AOCI

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, gains or losses on hedging instruments determined to be ineffective were not material.

 

The following table presents selected information related to gains (losses) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI in Dominion Energy Gas' Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2017:

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

In August 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement with Terra Nova Renewable Partnersto sell SBL Holdco, which holds Dominion Energy’s remaining 67% controlling interest in certain nonregulated solar projects for consideration of $456 million,

53


subject to customary closing adjustments, with the amount of cash reduced by the amount of SBL Holdco’s debt outstanding at closing. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, contingent on clearance or approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and by FERC as well as other customary closing and regulatory conditions. In September 2021, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act expired. In October 2021, FERC approved the proposed sale.

At September 30, 2021, $743 million of assets, primarily consisting of property, plant and equipment, and $339 million of liabilities, primarily consisting of long-term debt, were classified as held for sale in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dominion Energy expects to record a gain of approximately $30 million ($31 million after-tax) upon closing.All activity related to SBL Holdco is recorded within Contracted Assets.

Sale to Clearway

In August 2021, Dominion Energy entered an agreement with Clearway to sell its 50% controlling interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars for $335 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, contingent on clearance or approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and by FERC as well as other customary closing and regulatory conditions. In October 2021, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act expired.

At September 30, 2021, $744 million of related assets, primarily consisting of property, plant and equipment, and $75 million of liabilities, primarily consisting of operating leases, were classified as held for sale in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dominion Energy expects to record a loss of approximately $225 million ($170 million after-tax) upon closing, primarily associated with the derecognition of noncontrolling interest. All activity related to Four Brothers and Three Cedars is recorded within Contracted Assets.

Impairment

In the third quarter of 2020, Dominion Energy performed a strategic review of its long-term intentions for its contracted nonregulated solar generation assets in partnerships outside of its core electric service territories in consideration of the impact of the VCEA and Dominion Energy’s decision to sell substantially all of its gas transmission and storage operations. Based on an evaluation of Dominion Energy’s interests in these long-lived assets for recoverability under a probability weighted approach, Dominion Energy determined the assets were impaired. As a result of this investmentevaluation, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $17$665 million ($293 million after-tax attributable to Dominion Energy and $267 million attributable to noncontrolling interest) in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 to adjust the property, plant and 2016. At September 30, 2017equipment down to its estimated fair value of $1.4 billion. The fair value was estimated using an income approach. The valuation is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant judgmental and December 31, 2016, the carryingunobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of Dominion Energy Gas' investmentfuture cash flows and discount rates reflecting risks inherent in the future cash flows and market prices.

Virginia Power CCRO Utilization

In the third quarter of $962021, Virginia Power wrote off $318 million, primarily consisting of property, plant and $98 million, respectively, exceeded its shareequipment, net representing the utilization of underlying equitya CCRO in net assets by $8 million. The difference reflects equity method goodwill and is not being amortized.

Note 12.13. Regulatory Matters

Regulatory Matters Involving Potential Loss Contingencies

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 for whichthat the Companies cannot estimate, a range of possible loss, 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 for whichthat 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. Dominion Energy’s merchant generators sell electricity in the PJM, MISO, 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. Virginia Power purchases and, under its FERC market-based rate authority, sells electricity in the wholesale market. 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 of 11.4%, 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 March 2010, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative 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. Parties have until November 2017 to seek rehearing. Virginia Power is evaluating the order, which is not expected to have a material effect on results of operations.


PJM Transmission Rates

In April 2007, FERC issued an order regarding its transmission rate design for the allocation of costs among PJM transmission customers, including Virginia Power, for transmission service provided by PJM. For new PJM-planned transmission facilities that operate at or above 500 kV, FERC established a PJM regional rate design where customers pay according to each customer’s share of the region’s load. For recovery of costs of existing facilities, FERC approved the existing methodology whereby a customer pays the cost of facilities located in the same zone as the customer. A number of parties appealed the order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

In August 2009, the court issued its decision affirming the FERC order with regard to the existing facilities, but remanded to FERC the issue of the cost allocation associated with the new facilities 500 kV and above for further consideration by FERC. On remand, FERC reaffirmed its earlier decision to allocate the costs of new facilities 500 kV and above according to the customer’s share of the region’s load. A number of parties filed appeals of the order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. In June 2014, the court again remanded the cost allocation issue to FERC. In December 2014, FERC issued an order setting an evidentiary hearing and settlement proceeding regarding the cost allocation issue. The hearing only concerns the costs of new facilities approved by PJM prior to February 1, 2013. Transmission facilities approved after February 1, 2013 are allocated on a hybrid cost allocation method approved by FERC and not subject to any court review.

In June 2016, PJM, the PJM transmission owners and state commissions representing substantially all of the load in the PJM market submitted a settlement to FERC to resolve the outstanding issues regarding this matter. Under the terms of the settlement, Virginia Power would be required to pay in excess of $200 million to PJM over the next 10 years. Although the settlement agreement has not been accepted by FERC, and the settlement is opposed by a small group of parties to the proceeding, Virginia Power believes it is probable it will be required to make payment as an outcome of the settlement. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2017, Virginia Power has recorded a contingent liability of $223 million in other deferred credits and other liabilities, which is offset by a $215 million regulatory asset for the amount that will be recovered through retail rates in Virginia.

FERC – Gas

DETI

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 that have the potential to result in adjustments which could be material to Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ results of operations. DETI submitted its initial response to the audit staff in September 2017. In connection with one preliminary recommendation that management did not challenge, DETI recognized in the second quarter of 2017, a charge of $15 million ($9 million after-tax) recorded within other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Energy’s and Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income to write-off the balance of a regulatory asset, originally established in 2008, that is no longer considered probable of recovery. Pending final resolution of the audit process and a determination by FERC, management is unable to estimate the potential impact of the other preliminary recommendations and no amounts have been recognized.

Other Regulatory Matters

Other than the following matters, there have been no significant developments regarding the pending regulatory matters disclosed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.2020.

Virginia Regulation

2021 Triennial Review

In March 2021, Virginia Power filed its base rate case and accompanying schedules in support of the 2021 Triennial Review. In its filing, Virginia Power did not request an increase in base rates for generation and distribution services and proposed that base rates remain at their existing level. Virginia Power’s earnings test analysis, as filed, demonstrates it earned a combined ROE of 10.85% on its generation and distribution services for the test period, before accounting for forgiven customer balances. Pursuant to Virginia legislation, forgiven customer balances are excluded from the cost of service in determining test period revenues as part of the 2021 Triennial Review. To the extent that the Virginia Commission determines total earnings for the test period to be above Virginia Power’s authorized earnings band, the forgiven balance amounts are offset against the available revenues in the determination of any customer bill credits, or utilization of a CCRO. Test period earnings may be further 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 CCRO under the GTSA. In its filing, Virginia Power elected to utilize $26 million of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Pilot project investment as a CCRO to offset available revenues. The Virginia Commission will determine whether Virginia Power’s earnings for the test period, considered as a whole, were within 70 basis points above or below the authorized ROE of 9.2%. Should the Virginia Commission determine that there are additional available revenues for earnings sharing, then Virginia Power has contingently elected to offset those revenues with additional Virginia Commission approved qualifying CCRO investments. The Virginia Commission will also authorize an ROE for Virginia Power that will be applied to Virginia Power’s riders prospectively and that will also be utilized to measure base rate earnings as of January 1, 2021. Virginia Power has requested authorization of an ROE of 10.8% based on Virginia Power’s current cost of equity. Pursuant to the Regulation Act, LegislationVirginia Power’s authorized ROE shall not be set lower than the average of either (i) the returns reported for the three previous years by not less than a majority of comparable utilities in the Southeastern U.S., with certain limitations as described in the Regulation Act, or (ii) the authorized returns that are set by the applicable regulatory commissions for the same select peer group. In May 2021, Virginia Power filed supplemental

58


testimony to reflect updated test period earnings, including an earned ROE of 10.42%, before accounting for forgiven customer balances, and that no amount of eligible CCRO is necessary to be elected to be utilized.

In the third and fourth quarters of 2020, Virginia Power recorded a net charge of $130 million related to the use of a CCRO in accordance with the GTSA, including a charge of $200 million ($149 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2020, included in impairment of assets and other charges (benefits) in its Consolidated Statements of Income.  In the first quarter of 2021, Virginia Power recorded a benefit of $130 million ($97 million after-tax) in impairment of assets and other charges (benefits) in its Consolidated Statements of Income to adjust its reserve related to the use of a CCRO in accordance with the GTSA.

In October 2021, Virginia Power, the Virginia Commission staff and other parties filed a comprehensive settlement agreement with the Virginia Commission for approval. The Supreme Courtcomprehensive settlement agreement provides for $330 million in one-time refunds to customers made up of $255 million over a 6-month period and $75 million over three years, a $50 million going-forward base rate reduction and an authorized ROE of 9.35%. Additionally, Virginia previously granted appealsPower has agreed to utilize $309 million of qualifying CCRO investments in the CVOW Pilot Project, deployment of AMI and a Customer Information Platform to offset available earnings and to amortize through 2023 the early retirement charges for coal- and oil-fired generation units recorded in 2019 and 2020. This matter is pending.

In connection with the proposed settlement agreement, Virginia Power recorded in the third quarter of 2021 a $350 million ($261 million after-tax) charge for refunds to be provided to customers in operating revenues in its Consolidated Statements of Income as well as a $549 million ($409 million after-tax) benefit primarily from the establishment of a regulatory asset associated with the early retirements of certain industrialcoal- and oil-fired generating units and a $318 million ($237 million after-tax) charge for CCRO benefits provided to customers in impairment of Appalachian Power Company that challengedassets and other charges (benefits) in its Consolidated Statements of Income. The amounts recorded reflect the constitutionalityimpact related to jurisdictional customers as a result of the 2021 Triennial Review as well as the impact on certain non-jurisdictional customers which follow Virginia Power’s jurisdictional customer rate methodology.

Utility Disconnection Moratorium Legislation

In November 2020, legislation was enacted in 2015 keeping AppalachianVirginia relating to the moratorium on utility disconnections during the COVID-19 pandemic and resulted in Virginia Power Company’s base rates unchanged until at leastforgiving Virginia jurisdictional retail electric customer balances that were more than 30 days past due as of September 30, 2020. This legislation also keeps As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $127 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.  In connection with the Virginia 2021 budget process, in the first quarter of 2021 Virginia Power recorded a charge of $76 million ($56 million after-tax) in impairment of assets and other charges (benefits) in its Consolidated Statements of Income for Virginia jurisdictional retail electric customer balances that were more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2020 that Virginia Power is required to forgive.  These forgiven customer balances are factored into Virginia Power’s base rates unchanged until at least2021 Triennial Review as discussed above.

Grid Transformation and Security Act of 2018

In June 2021, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission for approval of a plan for electric distribution grid transformation projects as authorized by the GTSA.  The plan includes 14 projects covering 6 components: (i) smart meters; (ii) customer information platform; (iii) grid improvement projects; (iv) physical and cyber security; (v) telecommunications infrastructure and (vi) customer education (Phase II). For Phase II, the total proposed capital investment during 2022 – 2023 is $669 million and the proposed operations and maintenance investment is $110 million.  This matter is pending.

Virginia Fuel Expenses

In May 2021, Virginia Power filed its annual fuel factor with the Virginia Commission to recover an estimated $1.4 billion in Virginia jurisdictional projected fuel expenses for the rate year beginning July 1, 2021 and $72 million of estimated net under-recovered balances through June 30, 2021.  In June 2021, the Virginia Commission approved the annual fuel factor.

Renewable Generation Projects

In May 2020 and July 2020, Virginia Power entered into and closed on separate agreements to acquire Grassfield Solar, Norge Solar and Sycamore Solar. The projects are expected to cost approximately $170 million in aggregate once constructed, including the initial acquisition cost. The facilities are expected to generate 82 MW combined and be placed into service in 2022. In October 2020, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for CPCNs to construct and operate these projects as part of its efforts to meet the renewable generation development requirements under the VCEA.  In April 2021, the Virginia Commission approved the application.

In September 2017,2021, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Supreme CourtVirginia Commission for CPCNs to construct and operate 13 utility-scale projects totaling approximately 661 MW of Virginia affirmed thatsolar generation and 70 MW of energy storage as part of its efforts to meet the legislationrenewable generation development requirements under the VCEA. The projects are expected to cost approximately $1.4 billion in the aggregate, excluding financing costs, and be placed into service between 2022 and 2023. This matter is constitutional.pending.


Rate Adjustment ClausesIn November 2021, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission requesting approval and certification of the Virginia Facilities component of the CVOW Commercial Project.  The onshore Virginia Facilities have an estimated cost of approximately $1.1 billion, excluding financing costs, which is included within the overall cost of the CVOW Commercial Project.  In addition, Virginia Power requested approval from the Virginia Commission to enter into financial hedges with U.S. financial institutions to mitigate the foreign currency exchange risk associated with certain supplier contracts associated with the CVOW Commercial Project.  This matter is pending.

Nuclear Life Extension Program

In October 2021, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission requesting a determination that it is reasonable and prudent for Virginia Power to pursue a nuclear life extension program to extend the operating licenses of Surry and North Anna and to carry out projects to upgrade or replace systems and equipment necessary to continue to safely and reliably operate these nuclear power stations.  The nuclear life extension program is expected to cost approximately $3.9 billion, excluding financing costs. This matter is pending.

Riders

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

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 June 2020, Virginia Power proposed an $80 million total revenue requirement consisting of $44 million for previously approved phases and $36 million for phase five costs for Rider U for the rate year beginning April 1, 2021. This total revenue requirement represents a $28 million increase over the previous year. In February 2021, the Virginia Commission approved the filing.

In June 2021, Virginia Power proposed a $96 million total revenue requirement consisting of $61 million for previously filed an application with the Virginia Commission to recover throughapproved phases and $35 million for phase six costs for Rider U costs for the first and second phases of a program to underground outage-prone overhead distribution lines. In September 2017, the Virginia Commission approved a total $22 million annual revenue requirement effective October 1, 2017, using a 9.4% ROE, and a total capital investment of $40 million for second phase conversions.

The Virginia Commission previously approved Riders C1A and C2A in connection with cost recovery for DSM programs.

PSNC Base Rate Case

In April 2021, PSNC filed its general rate case application, direct testimony, exhibits, and schedules with the North Carolina Commission.  PSNC proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $53 million to be effective November 1, 2021. After considering the benefits of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, the net revenue increase to customers would be approximately $42 million.  The base rate increase was proposed to recover the significant investment in infrastructure to serve a growing customer base, improve safety and reliability of the transmission and distribution system and enhance energy efficiency and sustainability.  The proposed rates would provide for an ROE of 10.25% compared to the currently authorized ROE of 9.7%.

In October 2021, PSNC, the North Carolina Commission public staff and certain other parties of record filed a stipulation of settlement with the North Carolina Commission for approval. The stipulation of settlement provides for a non-fuel, base rate increase of $29 million effective November 1, 2021, based on an ROE of 9.60%. The net revenue increase to customers, after considering the amortization of the previously deferred benefits of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, would be $4 million in the initial rate year, $23 million for the following rate year and then $25 million beginning for the third through fifth rate years. In addition, the stipulation of settlement provides for the recovery, over four years, of $106 million of operation and maintenance costs which PSNC has incurred and deferred through June 2021 to comply with federal standards for pipeline integrity and safety. In November 2021, PSNC implemented temporary rates consistent with the stipulation of settlement.

The base rate increase was proposed to recover the significant investment in assets and operating resources required to serve an expanding customer base, maintain the safety, reliability and efficiency of DESC’s system and meet increasingly stringent reliability, security and environmental requirements for the benefit of South Carolina customers.  DESC presented an earned ROE of 5.90% based upon a fully-adjusted test period. The proposed rates would provide for an earned ROE equal to the current authorized earned ROE of 10.25% established in the previous rate case in 2012. In January 2021, the South Carolina Commission approved a

proposal made by the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff, and agreed to by DESC and other intervenors, to stay the base rate case due to the current economic conditions and to allow the parties more time to negotiate a settlement with a final order to be issued no later than August 2021.  

In July 2021, DESC, the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff and other parties of record filed a comprehensive settlement agreement with the South Carolina Commission for approval. The comprehensive settlement agreement provides for a non-fuel, base rate increase of $62 million (resulting in a net increase of $36 million after considering an accelerated amortization of certain excess deferred income taxes) commencing with bills issued on September 1, 2021 and an authorized earned ROE of 9.50%. Additionally, DESC has agreed to commit up to $15 million to forgive retail electric customer balances that were more than 60 days past due as of May 31, 2021, and provide $15 million for energy efficiency upgrades and critical health and safety repairs to customer homes. Pursuant to the comprehensive settlement agreement, DESC would not filea retail electric base rate case prior to July 1, 2023, such that new rates would not be effective prior to January 1, 2018.2024, absent unforeseen extraordinary economic or financial conditions that may include changes in corporate tax rates. In July 2021, the South Carolina Commission approved the comprehensive settlement agreement and issued its final order in August 2021.

In connection with this matter, in the second quarter of 2021, Dominion Energy recorded charges of $249 million ($187 million after-tax) reflected within impairment of assets and other charges (benefits), including $237 million of regulatory assets associated with DESC’s purchases of its first mortgage bonds during 2019 that are no longer probable of recovery under the settlement agreement, and $18 million ($14 million after-tax) reflected within other income in its Consolidated Statements of Income.

DSM Programs

In January 2021, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission seeking approval to recover $48 million of costs and net lost revenues associated with these programs, along with an incentive to invest in such programs. In April 2021, the South Carolina Commission approved the filing. In connection with the approval of the comprehensive settlement agreement in the South Carolina base rate case discussed above, the net lost revenue component of the DSM rider was adjusted resulting in a recovery of $43 million commencing with bills issued on September 1, 2021.

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 February 2021, DESC filed a proposal with the South Carolina Commission to increase the total fuel cost component of retail electric rates. DESC’s proposed adjustment would increase annual base fuel component recoveries by $36 million and is designed to recover DESC’s current base fuel costs, net of the existing over-collected balance, over the 12-month period beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2021. In addition, DESC proposed a decrease to its variable environmental component and an increase to its distributed energy resource component. In April 2021, the South Carolina Commission approved the filing.

Natural Gas Rates

In June 2021, DESC filed with the South Carolina Commission its monitoring report for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2021 with a total revenue requirement of $426 million. This caserepresents a $9 million overall annual increase to its natural gas rates under the terms of the Natural Gas Rate Stabilization Act effective with the first billing cycle of November 2021. In October 2021, the South Carolina Commission issued an order approving a total revenue requirement of $424 million effective with the first billing cycle of November 2021. This represents a $7 million overall annual increase to DESC’s natural gas rates.

Note 15.17. 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 for whichthat the Companies cannot estimate, a range of possible loss, 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 for whichthat 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'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 of the Companies.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 allmeet applicable requirements of the CAA. However, states may choose to develop regulatory programs that are more restrictive. Many of the Companies'Companies’ facilities are subject to the CAA'sCAA’s permitting and other requirements.

Ozone Standards

MATS

In December 2011,The EPA published final non-attainment designations for the EPA issued MATS for coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units. The rule establishes strict emission limits for mercury, particulate matter as a surrogate for toxic metals and hydrogen chloride as a surrogate for acid gases. The rule includes a limited use provision for oil-fired units with annual capacity factors under 8% that provides an exemption from emission limits, and allows compliance with operational work practice standards. Compliance was required by April 16,October 2015 with certain limited exceptions. However,ozone standard in June 2014, the VDEQ granted a one-year MATS compliance extension for two coal-fired units at Yorktown power station to defer planned retirements and allow for continued operation of the units to address reliability concerns while necessary electric transmission upgrades are being completed. These coal units needed to continue operating through at least April 2017 due to delays in transmission upgrades needed to maintain electric reliability. Therefore, in October 2015, Virginia Power submitted a request to the EPA for an additional one year compliance extension under an EPA Administrative Order. The order was signed by the EPA in April 2016 allowing the Yorktown power station units to operate for up to one additional year, as2018 with states required to maintain reliable power availability while transmission upgrades are being made. Virginia Power ceased operating the coal units at Yorktown power station in April 2017 as planned.

In June 2017, the U.S. DOE issued an order to PJM to direct Virginia Power to operate Yorktown power station’s Units 1 and 2 as needed to avoid reliability issues on the Virginia Peninsula. The order was effective for 90 days and can be reissued upon PJM’s request, if necessary, until required electricity transmission upgrades are completed approximately 23 months following the receipt in July 2017 of final permits and approvals for construction. In July 2017, the Sierra Club filed a petition for rehearing of the U.S. DOE order, which was denied by the U.S. DOE in September 2017. In August 2017, PJM filed a request for a 90-day renewal of the U.S. DOE order, which the U.S. DOE subsequently granted in September 2017. In October 2017, the Sierra Club filed a petition for rehearing of the U.S. DOE order granted in September 2017. This matter is pending.

In June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision holding that the EPA failed to take cost into account when the agency first decided to regulate the emissions from coal- and oil-fired plants, and remanded the MATS rule back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. However, the Supreme Court did not vacate or stay the effective date and implementation of the MATS rule. In November 2015, in response to the Supreme Court decision, the EPA proposed a supplemental finding that consideration of cost does not alter the agency’s previous conclusion that it is appropriate and necessary to regulate coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units under Section 112 of the CAA. In December 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued an order remanding the MATS rulemaking proceeding back to the EPA without setting aside judgment, noting that EPA had represented it was on track to issue a final finding regarding its consideration of cost. In April 2016, the EPA issued a final supplemental finding that consideration of costs does not alter its conclusion regarding appropriateness and necessity for the regulation. This regulation has been challenged in court. In April 2017, the EPA requested that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit delay oral arguments in the case to allow agency review of the rule. Since the MATS rule remains in effect and Dominion Energy is complying with the applicable requirements of the rule, Dominion Energy does not expect any adverse impacts to its operations at this time.

Ozone Standards

In October 2015, the EPA issued a final rule tightening the ozone standard from 75-ppb to 70-ppb. To comply with this standard, in April 2016 Virginia Power submitted the NOX Reasonable Available Control Technology analysis for Unit 5 at Possum Point power station. In December 2016, the VDEQ determined that NOX controls are required on Unit 5. Installation and operation of these NOX controls including an associated water treatment system will be required by mid-2019 with an expected cost in the range of $25 million to $35 million.

The statutory deadline for the EPA to complete attainment designations for a new standard was October 2017. While it is uncertain when the EPA will make final designations, states will have up to three years 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.  However, if significantThe expenditures are required to implement additional controls it could adversely affecthave a material impact on the Companies’ results of operations and cash flows.


NSPSACE Rule

In August 2012, the EPA issued the first 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 a final 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 April 2017, the EPA issued a notice that it is reviewing and, if appropriate, will issue a rulemaking to suspend, revise or rescind the June 2016 final NSPS for certain oil and gas facilities. In June 2017,July 2019, the EPA published notice of reconsideration and partial staythe final rule informally referred to as the ACE Rule, as a replacement for the Clean Power Plan. The ACE Rule regulated GHG emissions from existing coal-fired power plants pursuant to Section 111(d) of the ruleCAA and required states to develop plans by July 2022 establishing unit-specific performance standards for 90 days and proposed extending the stay for two years.existing coal-fired power plants. In July 2017,January 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated the 90-day stay. Dominion EnergyACE Rule and Dominion Energy Gas are implementingremanded it to the final regulation. Dominion EnergyEPA. This decision would take effect upon issuance of the court’s mandate. In March 2021, the court issued a partial mandate vacating and Dominion Energy Gas are still evaluating whether potential impacts on resultsremanding all parts of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows related to this matter will be material.

Climate Change Regulation

Carbon Regulations

the ACE Rule except for the portion of the ACE Rule that repealed the Clean Power Plan. In October 2013,2021, the U.S. Supreme Court granted petitions filed by several industry groups, states, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce seeking reviewagreed to hear a challenge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit’s June 2012 decision upholdingon the EPA’s regulation of GHG emissions from stationary sources under the CAA’s permitting programs. In June 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled thatACE Rule. While the EPA lackedhas stated its intention to replace the authority underACE Rule, it is unknown at this time if or how the CAA to require PSD EPA will issue a replacement for the ACE Rule and how that replacement will affect the Companies’ operations, financial condition and/or Title V permits for stationary sources based solely on GHG emissions. However, the Court upheld the EPA’s ability to require BACT for GHG for sources that are otherwise subject to PSD or Title V permitting for conventional pollutants. cash flows.

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 setexceed a significant emissions rate atof 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 statements.condition and/or cash flows.

In July 2011,December 2018, the EPA signedproposed 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 best operating practices. In January 2021, the EPA published a final rule deferringaffirming that fossil fuel-fired electric generating units meet the needrequirement that a source category “significantly contribute” to endangering air pollution for PSD and Title V permitting for CO2 emissions for biomass projects.  This rule temporarily deferred for a periodthe purposes of up to three years the consideration of CO2regulating GHG emissions from biomass projects when determining whethernew, modified and reconstructed stationary sources. The January 2021 rule also established a stationary source meets the PSD and Title V applicability thresholds, including thosethreshold for the application of BACT.  The deferral policy expired in July 2014.“significant contribution” threshold that would have meant that no other source category, such as oil and gas facilities, petroleum refineries, and boilers, would meet that requirement at this time. In July 2013,April 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated this rule; however, a mandate making this decision effective has not been issued. Virginia Power converted three coal-fired generating stations, Altavista, Hopewell and Southampton, to biomass during the CO2 deferral period.  It is unclear how the court's decision or the EPA's final policy regarding the treatment of specific feedstock will affect biomass sources that were permitted during the deferral period; however, the expenditures to comply with any new requirements could be material to Dominion Energy's and Virginia Power's financial statements.

Methane Emissions

In July 2015,granted an unopposed motion by the EPA announcedto vacate and remand the next generation of its voluntary Natural Gas STAR Program, the Natural Gas STAR Methane Challenge Program.January 2021 rule. 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. In March 2016, East Ohio, Hope, DETI and Questar Gas (priorproposed revision to the Dominion Energy Questar Combination) joinedperformance standards for coal-fired steam generating units remains pending. Until the EPA as founding partners inultimately takes final action on this rulemaking, the new Methane Challenge program and submitted implementation plans in September 2016. DECG joinedCompanies cannot predict the EPA’s voluntary Natural Gas STAR Program in July 2016 and submitted an implementation plan in September 2016. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas do not expect the costs relatedimpact to these programs to have a material impact on their results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

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. The rule establishes a national standard for impingement based on seven compliance options, but forgoes the creation of a single

69


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 five5 mandatory facility-specific factors, including a social cost-benefit test, and six6 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 1415 and 119 facilities, respectively, that may beare subject to the final regulations. Dominion Energy anticipatesis also working with the EPA and state regulatory agencies to assess the applicability of Section 316(b) to 8 hydroelectric facilities, including 3 Virginia Power facilities. The Companies anticipate that it willthey may have to install impingement control technologies at manycertain of these stations that have once-through cooling systems. Dominion Energy and Virginia PowerThe Companies 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’s and Virginia Power’sthe Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworkframeworks in South Carolina and Virginia providesprovide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for Virginia Power.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 establishesestablished 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. Virginia Power has eight facilities that may be subject to additional wastewater treatment requirements associated with the final rule. In April 2017, the EPA granted two2 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 U.S.’sEPA’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 offor certain waste streams regulations in the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule for compliance with certain wastewater regulations from November 2018 to November 2020; however, the latest date for compliance for these regulations remainswas December 2023. The2023. In October 2020, the EPA is proposingreleased the final rule that extends the latest dates for compliance. Individual facilities’ compliance dates will vary based on circumstances and the determination by state regulators and may range from 2021 to complete new rulemaking for these waste streams.2028. While the impacts of this rule could be material to Dominion Energy’s and Virginia Power’sthe Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworkframeworks in South Carolina and Virginia providesprovide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for Virginia Power.the regulated electric utilities.

 

SolidWaste Management and Hazardous WasteRemediation

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, providesand similar state laws, may impose joint, several and strict liability for immediate response and removal actions coordinatedcleanup on potentially responsible parties who owned, operated or arranged for disposal at facilities affected by the EPA in the eventa release of threatenedhazardous substances. In addition, many states have created programs to incentivize voluntary remediation of sites where historical releases of hazardous substances into the environmentare identified and authorizes the U.S. government either to clean up sites at which hazardous substances have created actualproperty owners or potential environmental hazards or to order persons responsible for the situation to do so. Under the CERCLA, as amended, generators and transporters of hazardous substances, as well as past and present owners and operators of contaminated sites, can be jointly, severally and strictly liable for the cost of cleanup. These potentially responsible parties can be ordereddecide to perform a cleanup, be sued for costs associated with an EPA-directed cleanup, voluntarily settle with the U.S. government concerning their liability for cleanup costs, or voluntarily begin a site investigation and site remediation under state oversight.initiate cleanups.

 

From time to time, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power, or Dominion Energy Gasthe Companies may be identified as a potentially responsible party toin connection with the alleged release of hazardous substances or wastes at a Superfund site. The EPA (or a state) can either allow such a party to conductUnder applicable federal and pay for a remedial investigation, feasibility study and remedial action or conductstate laws, the remedial investigation and action itself and then seek reimbursement from the potentially responsible parties. Each party can be held jointly, severally and strictly liable for the cleanup costs. These parties can also bring contribution actions against each other and seek reimbursement from their insurance companies. As a result, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power, or Dominion Energy Gas mayCompanies 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 of remedial investigationincurred at such sites. The Companies also may identify, evaluate and actionsremediate other potentially impacted sites under voluntary state programs. Remediation costs may be subject to reimbursement under the Superfund lawCompanies’ insurance policies, rate recovery mechanisms, or other laws or regulations regardingboth. Except as described below, the remediation of waste. 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 19 former manufactured gas plant sites, three of which pertain toincluding certain sites associated with Virginia Power. At 12 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 remediation plans associated with 3 sites, including 1 at Virginia Power, and 12expects to commence remediation activities in 2021 or 2022 depending on receipt of which pertain tofinal permits and approvals. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Dominion Energy Gas. Studies conductedhad $40 million and $42 million, respectively, and Virginia Power had $25 million and $26 million, respectively, of reserves recorded. In addition, for 1 site associated with Dominion Energy, an updated work plan submitted to SCDHEC in September 2018, would increase costs by other utilities at their former manufactured gas plantapproximately $11 million if approved by federal and state agencies. In September 2020, this plan was submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers. Dominion Energy is associated with 12 additional sites, have indicated that those sites contain coal tar and other potentially harmful materials.

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.

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 other claims for additional payments from a pipeline contractor for the project. In July 2013, DETI filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia for breach of contract as well as accounting and declaratory relief. The contractor filed a motion to dismiss, or in the alternative, a motion to transfer venue to Pennsylvania and/or West Virginia, where the pipelines were constructed. DETI filed an opposition to the contractor’s motion in August 2013. In November 2013, the court granted the contractor’s motion on the basis that DETI must first comply with the dispute resolution process. In July 2015, the contractor filed a complaint against DETI in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. In August 2015, DETI filed a motion to dismiss, or in the alternative, a motion to transfer venue to Virginia. In March 2016, the Pennsylvania court granted the motion to dismiss and transferred the case to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. In April 2016, the Virginia court issued an order staying the proceedings and ordering mediation. A mediation occurred in May 2016 but was unsuccessful. In July 2016, DETI filed a motion to dismiss. In March 2017, the court dismissed three of eight counts in the complaint. In May 2017, the contractor withdrew one of the counts in the complaint. This case is pending. DETI has accrued a liability of $6 million for this matter.unless otherwise noted therein, Dominion Energy Gas cannot currentlyis unable to estimate additionala 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 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include reserves of $196million and $208 million, respectively, included within other current liabilities, and insurance receivables of $41 million and $8 million, respectively, included within other receivables.

Gas Producers LitigationRatepayer Class Actions

In connectionMay 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). The plaintiffs alleged, 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. In December 2018, the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County entered an order granting preliminary approval of a class action settlement. The court entered an order granting final approval of the settlement in June 2019, which became effective in July 2019. The settlement agreement, contingent upon the closing of the SCANA Combination, provided that SCANA and DESC establish an escrow account and proceeds from the escrow account would be distributed to the plaintiffs, 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 plaintiffs estimated 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. In July 2019, DESC transferred $117 million representing the cash payment, plus accrued interest, to the plaintiffs. Through August 2020, property, plant and equipment with a net recorded value of $27 million had been transferred to the plaintiffs in coordination with the Appalachian Gateway project,court-appointed real estate trustee to satisfy the settlement agreement. In September 2020, the court entered an order approving a final resolution of the transfer of real estate or sales proceeds with a cash contribution of $38.5 million by DESC and the conveyance of property, plant and equipment with a net recorded value of $3 million, which was completed by DESC in October 2020.

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 were substantially similar to those in the DESC Ratepayer Case. In March 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement relating to this matter as well as the Luquire Case and the Glibowski Case described below. The settlement agreement provided that Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc. (formerly known asand Santee Cooper establish a fund for the benefit of class members in the amount of $520 million, of which Dominion Field Services, Inc.) entered into contracts for firm purchase rights withEnergy’s portion was $320 million of shares of Dominion Energy common stock. In July 2020, the court issued a group of small gas producers. In June 2016, certainfinal approval of the gas producerssettlement agreement. In September 2020, Dominion Energy issued $322 million of shares of Dominion Energy common stock to satisfy its obligation under the settlement agreement, including interest charges.

In July 2019, a similar purported class action was filed a complaintby certain Santee Cooper ratepayers against DESC, SCANA, Dominion Energy and former directors and officers of SCANA in the CircuitState Court of Marshall County, West Virginia against Dominion Energy, DETICommon Pleas in Orangeburg, South Carolina (the Luquire Case). In August 2019, DESC, SCANA and Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc., among other defendants, claiming thatwere voluntarily dismissed from the contracts are unenforceablecase. The claims were similar to the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case. In March 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement as described above relating to this matter as well as the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case and seeking compensatory and punitive damages. In the third quarter of 2016, Dominion Energy and DETI, with the consentGlibowski Case. This case was dismissed as part of the other defendants, removed the case toSantee Cooper Ratepayer Case settlement described above.

RICO Class Action

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 Northern District of West Virginia.South Carolina (the Glibowski Case). The plaintiff alleged, 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. In October 2016,March 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement as described above relating to this matter as well as the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case and the Luquire Case. This case was dismissed as part of the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case settlement described above.

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 (collectively the SCANA Securities Class Action). 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 alleged, 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 December 2019, the parties executed a settlement agreement pursuant to which SCANA would pay $192.5 million, up to $32.5 million of which could be satisfied through the issuance of shares of Dominion Energy common stock, subject to court approval. 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, and granted final approval in July 2020. In March 2020, SCANA funded an escrow account with $160 million in cash and paid the balance of $32.5 million in cash in August 2020 to satisfy the settlement.

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 (the State Court Derivative Case). 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. In January 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated action. In February 2019, one action was voluntarily dismissed. In March 2020, the court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss. In April 2020, the defendants filed a notice of appeal with the South Carolina Court of Appeals and a petition with the Supreme Court of South Carolina seeking appellate review of the denial of the motion to dismiss. In June 2020, the plaintiffs filed a motion to remand.dismiss the appeal with the South Carolina Court of Appeals, which was granted in July 2020. In February 2017,August 2020, the U.S. DistrictSupreme Court entered an order remandingof South Carolina denied the matterdefendants’ petition seeking appellate review. Also in August 2020, the defendants filed a petition for rehearing with the South Carolina Court of Appeals relating to the CircuitJuly 2020 ruling by the court, which was denied in October 2020. In November 2020, SCANA filed a petition of certiorari with the Supreme Court of Marshall County, West Virginia. South Carolina seeking appellate review of the denial of SCANA’s motion to dismiss. This petition was denied in June 2021. Also in June 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle in the amount of $33 million to resolve this matter, subject to court approval. This settlement was reached in contemplation of and will be utilized to satisfy a portion of the Federal Court Merger Case and the State Court Merger Case discussed below.

In March 2017, Dominion EnergyJanuary 2018, a purported class action was voluntarily dismissed from the case; however, DETI and Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc. remain parties to the matter.  In April 2017, the case was transferred to the Business Court Division of West Virginia. This case is pending.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 Gas cannot currently estimate financial statement impacts, but there could beaided and abetted these actions. Among other remedies, the plaintiff seeks to enjoin and/or rescind the merger. In February 2018, a material impactpurported 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 their financial condition and/or cash flows.

that described for the City of Warren Lawsuit. In September 2014, Virginia Power received a notice from the Southern Environmental Law Center on behalf of the Potomac Riverkeeper and Sierra Club alleging CWA violations at Possum Point power station. The notice alleges unpermitted discharges to surface water and groundwater from Possum Point power station’s historical and active ash storage facilities. A similar notice from the Southern Environmental Law Center on behalf of the Sierra Club was subsequently received related to Chesapeake power station. In December 2014, Virginia Power offered to close all of its coal ash ponds and landfills at Possum Point power station, Chesapeake and Bremo power stations as settlement of the potential litigation. The Southern Environmental Law Center declined the offer as presented in January 2015 and, in March 2015, filed a lawsuit related to its claims of the alleged CWA violations at Chesapeake power station.

Sierra Club submitted a separate remedial plan to the court. In July 2017, the court issued a final order requiring Virginia Power to perform additional specific sediment, water and aquatic life monitoring at and around the


Chesapeake power station for a period of at least two years. The court further directed Virginia Power to apply for a solid waste permit from VDEQ that includes corrective measures to address on-site groundwater impacts. In July 2017, Virginia Power appealed the court’s July 2017 final order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. In August 2017,June 2021, the Sierra Club filed a cross appeal. This case is pending.

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. In July 2021, the parties executed a settlement certain exemptions includedagreement requiring DESC to pay $99 million, which could be satisfied in either cash or shares of Dominion Energy common stock. Also in July 2021, the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina approved the settlement. In July 2021, Dominion Energy issued 1.4 million shares of Dominion Energy common stock to satisfy DESC’s obligation under the settlement agreement.

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 use tax exemption for the NND Project does not apply because the facility will not become operational. In December 2020, the parties reached an agreement in principle in the final ruleamount of $165 million to resolve this matter. In June 2021, the parties executed a settlement agreement which allows DESC to fund the settlement amount through a combination of cash, shares of Dominion Energy common stock or real estate with an initial payment of at least $43 million in shares of Dominion Energy common stock. In August 2021, Dominion Energy issued 0.6 million shares of its common stock to satisfy DESC’s obligation for inactive ponds that closedthe initial payment under the settlement agreement.

In June 2016,February 2020, the courtSEC 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 April 2020, SCANA and DESC reached an agreement in principle with the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint. In December 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of

South Carolina issued an order approving the settlement which requiresrequired SCANA to pay a civil monetary penalty totaling $25 million, and SCANA and DESC to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest totaling $112.5 million, which disgorgement and prejudgment interest amount were deemed satisfied by the EPA to modify provisionssettlements in the final CCR rule concerning inactive ponds. SCANA Securities Class Action and the DESC Ratepayer Case. SCANA paid the civil penalty in December 2020. The SEC civil action against two former executive officers of SCANA remains pending and is currently subject to a stay granted by the court in June 2020 at the request of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina.

In August 2016,addition, the EPA issuedSouth Carolina Law Enforcement Division is conducting a final rule, effective October 2016, extending certain compliance deadlinescriminal investigation into the handling of the NND Project by SCANA and DESC. Dominion Energy is cooperating fully with the investigations by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, including responding to additional subpoenas and document requests. Dominion Energy has also entered into a cooperation agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office. The cooperation agreement provides that in consideration of its full cooperation with these investigations to the satisfaction of both agencies, neither such agency will criminally prosecute or bring any civil action against Dominion Energy or any of its current, previous, or future direct or indirect subsidiaries related to the NND Project. A former executive officer of SCANA entered a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office in June 2020 and entered a guilty plea with the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina in July 2020. Another former executive officer of SCANA entered a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office and the South Carolina Attorney General's Office in November 2020 and entered guilty pleas in the final CCR ruleU.S. District Court for inactive ponds. Virginia Power does not believethe District of South Carolina and in South Carolina state court in February 2021. As a result of the pleas, Dominion Energy has terminated indemnity for these former executive officers related to these two cases.

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 will substantially impact its closure plansin key contractors or subcontractors. These matters preceded the filing for inactive ponds.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 December 2016,September 2017, DESC, for itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, filed with the U.S. Congress passedBankruptcy 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 President signed legislation that creates a framework for EPA- approved state CCR permit programs. Under this legislation, an approved state CCR permit program functions in lieuanticipatory repudiation and material breach by Westinghouse and WECTEC of the self-implementing Federal CCR rule. The legislation allows states more flexibilitycontract, 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 developing permit programsAugust 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 implementwork performed by Westinghouse subcontractors before the environmental criteriaWestinghouse 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 CCR rule. In August 2017,bankruptcy reorganization plan allocated by Westinghouse, it is possible that the EPA issued interim guidance outliningreorganization 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 framework for state CCR program approval. The EPA has enforcement authorityNND Project after the Westinghouse bankruptcy filing 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 portionstermination of the CCR ruleinterim assessment agreement. In

74


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 responsethe 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 two petitions for reconsideration.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 forecast potential incremental impacts or costs relatedbe 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 existing coal ash sites in connection with future implementationmake payments on account of such claims that would exceed the portion of the 2016 CCR legislation and reconsiderationToshiba Settlement allocated for such balances within the SCANA Merger Approval Order recorded in regulatory liabilities on Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Nuclear Operations

Nuclear Insurance

Other than the items discussed below, there have been no significant changes regarding the Companies’ nuclear insurance as described in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In March 2021, the total liability protection per nuclear incident available to all participants in the Secondary Financial Protection Program decreased from $13.8 billion to $13.7 billion. In June 2021, the total liability protection per nuclear incident available to all participants in the Secondary Financial Protection Program decreased from $13.7 billion to $13.5 billion. These decreases do not impact Dominion Energy’s responsibility per active unit under the Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988.

Effective June 2021, Dominion Energy reduced the levels of nuclear property insurance coverage for each of the CCR rule.reactor sites at Millstone, North Anna and Surry from $1.70 billion to the NRC minimum requirement of $1.06 billion. As a result of this reduction in nuclear property insurance coverage, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s maximum retrospective premium assessment for the current annual policy period was reduced to $76 million and $35 million, respectively.

Spent Nuclear Fuel

As discussed in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Companies entered into contracts with the DOE for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel under provisions of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982.

In April 2017, the Governor of Virginia signed legislation into law that placesJune 2018, a moratorium on the VDEQ issuing solid waste permitslawsuit for closure of ash ponds at Virginia Power’s Bremo, Chesapeake, Chesterfield and Possum Point power stations until May 2018.  The law also requires 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.  The assessments are due by December 1, 2017. Virginia Power has initiated a third-party evaluation of closure alternatives consistent with the legislation and is unable to estimate the potential financial statement impacts. The actual AROs related to the CCR rule may vary substantially from the estimates used to record the obligation.

Cove Point

Dominion Energy is constructing the Liquefaction Project at the Cove Point facility, which would enable the facility to liquefy domestically-produced natural gas and export it as LNG. In September 2014, FERC issued an order granting authorization for Cove Point to construct, modify and operate the Liquefaction Project. In October 2014, several partiesKewaunee was filed a motion with FERC to stay the order and requested rehearing. In May 2015, FERC denied the requests for stay and rehearing.

Two parties have separately filed petitions for review of the FERC order in the U.S. Court of AppealsFederal Claims for recovery of spent nuclear fuel storage costs incurred after 2013. In March 2019, Dominion Energy amended its filing for recovery of spent nuclear fuel storage to include costs incurred for the D.C. Circuit, which petitions were consolidated. Separately, one party requested a stay of the FERC order until the judicial proceedings are complete, which the court denied in June 2015. In July 2016, the court denied one party’s petition for review of the FERC order authorizing the Liquefaction Project. The court also issued a decision remanding the other party’s petition for review of the FERC order to FERC for further explanation of FERC’s decision that a previous transaction with an existing import shipper was not unduly discriminatory. In September 2017, FERC issued its order on remand from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and reaffirmed its ruling in its prior orders that Cove Point did not violate the prohibition against undue discrimination by agreeing to a capacity reduction and early contract termination with the existing import shipper. 

In September 2013, the U.S. DOE granted Non-FTA Authorization approval for the export of up to 0.77 bcfe/day of natural gas to countries that do not have an FTA for trade in natural gas. In June 2016, a party filed a petition for review of this approval in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.year ended December 31, 2018. This casematter is pending.

 


In July 2017, Cove Point submitted an application for a temporary operating permit to the Maryland Department of the Environment, as required prior to the date of first production of LNG for commercial purposes of exporting LNG. In August 2017, Cove Point submitted an application to amend the CPCN issued by the Public Service Commission of Maryland in May 2014 to make necessary updates. These cases are pending.

FERC

FERC staff in the Office of Enforcement, Division of Investigations, is conducting 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 has provided its response to FERC staff's preliminary findings letter explaining why Virginia Power's conduct was lawful and refuting any allegation of wrongdoing. Virginia Power is cooperating fully with the investigation; however, it cannot currently predict whether or to what extent it may incur a material liability.

Greensville County

Virginia Power is constructing Greensville County and related transmission interconnection facilities. In August 2016, the Sierra Club filed an administrative appeal in the Circuit Court for the City of Richmond challenging certain provisions in Greensville County’s PSD air permit issued by the VDEQ in June 2016. In August 2017, the Circuit Court upheld the air permit, and no appeals were filed.

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 have resulted in significant nuclear safety reviews required by the NRC and industry groups such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations. Like other U.S. nuclear operators, Dominion Energy has been gathering supporting data and participating 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, with the Tier 1 recommendations consisting of actions which the staff determined should be started without unnecessary delay.  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 reactors, 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 to respond 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 request each reactor to reevaluate the seismic and external flooding hazards at their site using present-day methods and information, conduct walkdowns of their facilities to ensure protection against the 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 and external flooding hazards is expected to continue through 2018. 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 is evaluating the implementation of the longer term Tier 2 and Tier 3 recommendations. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power do not expect material financial impacts related to compliance with Tier 2 and Tier 3 recommendations.


Guarantees, Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

Dominion Energy

At September 30, 2017,Upon the closing of the GT&S Transaction, Dominion Energy had issued $48 million ofretained its 4 guarantees primarilyrelated to supportCove Point, an equity method investees.investment, in support of terminal services, transportation and construction. NaN of the Cove Point guarantees have a cumulative maximum exposure of $1.9 billion while the other 2 guarantees have 0 maximum limit. No significant amounts related to these guarantees have been recorded.

In October 2017,addition, at September 30, 2021, Dominion Energy entered into a guarantee agreementhad issued an additional $25 million of guarantees, primarily to support a portion of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s obligation under a $3.3 billion revolving credit facility, also entered in October 2017, with a stated maturity date of October 2021. Dominion Energy’s maximum potential loss exposure under the terms of the guarantee is limitedthird parties. No amounts related to 48% of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, an equal percentage to Dominion Energy’s ownership in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. In October 2017, Dominion Energy recorded a liability of $30 million associated with this guarantee agreement.  Through October 2017, Atlantic Coast Pipeline has borrowed $570 million against the revolving credit facility.these 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.

Note 18.20. Employee Benefit Plans

In the first quarterNet Periodic Benefit (Credit) Cost

The service cost component of 2016, the Companies announced an organizational design initiative that reduced their total workforces during 2016. The goal of the organizational design initiative was to streamline leadership structure and push decision making lower while also improving efficiency.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Dominion Energy recorded a $65 million ($40 million after-tax) charge, including $33 million ($20 million after-tax) at Virginia Power and $8 million ($5 million after-tax) at Dominion Energy Gas, primarily reflected in other operations and maintenance expense in their Consolidated Statements of Income due to severance pay and other costs related to the organizational design initiative.  The terms of the severance under the organizational design initiative were consistent with the Companies’ existing severance plans.

Plan Amendment and Remeasurement

In the first quarter of 2017, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas remeasured an other postretirementnet periodic benefit plan as a result of an amendment that changed post-65 retiree medical coverage for certain current and future Local 69 retirees effective July 1, 2017. The remeasurement resulted in a decrease in Dominion Energy's and Dominion Energy Gas' accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of $73 million and $61 million, respectively. As a result of regulatory accounting, the remeasurement will have an immaterial impact on net income for both Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas. The discount rate used for the remeasurement was 4.30%. All other assumptions used were consistent with the measurement as of December 31, 2016.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Dominion Energy recorded a $7 million ($4 million after-tax) charge, including $6 million ($4 million after-tax) at Dominion Energy Gas, as a result of additional payments associated with the new collective bargaining agreement, which(credit) cost is reflected in other operations and maintenance expense in theirDominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Overview

Third Quarter 20172021 vs. 20162020

Net income attributable to Dominion Energy decreased 4%, primarily due to lower anticipated renewable energy investment tax credits, milder weather during 2017 in Dominion Energy’s electric utility service territory and a decrease in Cove Point import contracts. These decreases were partially offset by the Dominion Energy Questar Combination and an increase in gains from agreements to convey shale development rights underneath several natural gas storage fields.

Year-To-Date 2017 vs. 2016

Net income attributable to Dominion Energy increased 1%84%, primarily due to the absence of charges associated with an impairment of interests in certain nonregulated solar generation facilities and the termination of a contract in connection with the sale of Fowler Ridge. In addition, there was a decrease in charges associated with Virginia Power’s 2021 Triennial Review. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds and increased unrealized losses on economic hedging activities.

Year-To-Date 2021 vs. 2020

Net income attributable to Dominion Energy Questar Combination, an electric utility capacity benefit andincreased $3.0 billion, primarily due to the absence of 2016 organizational design initiative costs.charges associated with the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project and related portions of the Supply Header Project which are presented in discontinued operations, the planned early retirements of certain electric generation facilities in Virginia, an impairment of interests in certain nonregulated solar generation facilities and the termination of a contract in connection with the sale of Fowler Ridge. In addition, there was an increase in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds and a decrease in charges

An analysis of Dominion Energy’s results of operations follows:

Third Quarter 20172021 vs. 20162020

NetOperating revenue increased 2%decreased 12%, primarily reflecting:

A $161 million increase from the operations acquired in the Dominion Energy Questar Combination being included for all of 2017;

A $350 million decrease for refunds to be provided to retail electric customers in Virginia associated with the proposed settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review;

A $261 million decrease associated with market prices affecting Millstone, including economic hedging impacts of net realized and unrealized losses on freestanding derivatives ($295 million);

A $44 million decrease in sales to electric utility retail customers, primarily due to a decrease in cooling degree days;

A $19 million decrease associated with settlements of economic hedges of certain Virginia Power regulated electric sales; and

A $19 million decrease from Virginia Power riders.

A $131 million increase in the fuel cost components included in utility rates as a result of an increase in commodity costs associated with sales to electric utility retail customers ($104 million) and gas utility customers ($27 million);

A $47 million increase in sales to electric utility customers associated with economic and other usage factors;

A $27 million increase from gas utility capital cost riders; and

A $23 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers associated with growth.

Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 18%, primarily due to additional generation output from merchant solar generating projects;higher commodity costs for electric utilities, which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.

A $16 millionPurchased gas increased 62%, primarily due to an increase from regulated naturalin commodity costs for gas transmissionutilities, which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.

Other operations and maintenance decreased 5%, primarily due to a decrease in certain Virginia Power expenditures which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income ($35 million), a decrease in storm damage

86


and restoration costs in Virginia Power’s service territory ($22 million) and a decrease in merger and integration-related costs associated with the SCANA Combination ($16 million).

Other taxes increased 10%, primarily due to increased property taxes related to growth projects placed into service;service.

Impairment of assets and other charges (benefits) decreased $1.4 billion, primarily due to the absence of charges associated with certain nonregulated solar generation facilities ($665 million), the termination of a contract in connection with the sale of Fowler Ridge ($221 million) and litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination ($44 million). In addition, there was a decrease for a benefit from the establishment of a regulatory asset associated with the early retirements of certain coal- and oil-fired generating units associated with the proposed settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review ($549 million). These decreases were partially offset byincreased charges for CCRO benefits provided to retail electric customers in Virginia associated with Virginia Power’s 2021 Triennial Review ($118 million).

A $19 million decrease associated with settlements of economic hedges of certain regulated electric sales;

A $19 million decrease from riders; and

A $12 million decrease in PJM off-system sales.

These decreases were partially offset by:

A $92 million increase in the fuel cost component included in utility rates as a result of a net increase in commodity costs associated with sales to electric utility retail customers;

A $32 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers associated with economic and other usage factors;


A $16 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers associated with growth; and

An $11 million increase in sales to customers from non-jurisdictional solar generation facilities.

Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 21%, primarily due to higher commodity costs for electric utilities ($92 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, partially offset by a decrease in cooling degree days; andPJM off-system sales ($12 million).

A $151 million decrease from an unbilled revenue reduction;

A $47 million decrease in PJM off-system sales;

A $45 million decrease in sales to electric utility retail customers associated with economic and other usage factors; and

A $24 million decrease associated with settlements of economic hedges of certain regulated electric sales.

These decreases were partially offset by:

A $62 million increase in sales to retail customers from an increase in heating degree days during the heating season ($68 million) partially offset by a decrease in cooling degree days during the cooling season ($6 million);

A $40 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers associated with growth;

A $30 million increase from riders;

A $23 million increase in the fuel cost component included in utility rates as a result of a net increase in commodity costs associated with sales to electric utility retail customers; and

A $19 million increase in sales to customers from non-jurisdictional solar generation facilities.

Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases decreased 1%, primarily due to a decrease in certainPJM off-system sales ($47 million), partially offset by higher commodity costs for electric transmission-related expenditures. These expensesutilities ($23 million), which are primarily recovered through state and FERC ratesoffset in operating revenue and do not impact net income;income.

An $11 million decrease due to the absence of 2016 union workforce contract renegotiations; and

A $9 million decrease in outside services due to the absence of certain utility projects.


Income tax expense decreased 11%,Purchased electric capacity increased $30 million, primarily due to lower pre-tax income.

Year-To-Date 2017 vs. 2016

Net revenue increased 2%, primarily reflecting:

A $119 million electric capacity benefit duean increase in expense related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 20162020 ($12317 million) and a benefitan increase in expense related to non-utility generators ($86 million), partially offset by the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 20172021 ($9013 million);.

A $10 million reduction in bad debt expense due to the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process.

 

An analysisImpairment of Dominion Energy Gas' results of operations follows:

Third Quarter 2017 vs. 2016

Net revenue increased 6%,assets and other charges (benefits) decreased $1.3 billion, primarily reflecting:

A $13 million increase from regulated natural gas transmission growth projects placed into service;

The absence of charges associated with the planned early retirements of certain electric generation facilities ($747 million);

A $6 million increase in PIR program revenues; and

A benefit from the establishment of a regulatory asset associated with the early retirements of certain coal- and oil-fired generating units associated with the proposed settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review ($549 million);

A $6 million increase in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

Other operations and maintenance decreased 45%, primarily reflecting:

The increase in gains from agreements to convey shale development rights underneath several natural gas storage fields ($56 million); and

The absence of charges for dismantling costs associated with certain electric generation facilities ($30 million); and

The absence of a union workforce temporary work stoppage ($8 million); partially offset by

A decrease in charges for CCRO benefits provided to retail electric customers in Virginia associated with the 2021 Triennial Review ($12 million); partially offset by

A $5 million increase in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline. These expenses are billed to Atlantic Coast Pipeline and do not significantly impact net income.


Other taxes increased 17% primarily due to an increase in property taxes related to growth projects placed into service.

Income tax expense increased by $40 million due to higher pre-tax income ($28 million) and the absence of a 2016 settlement with a tax authority ($12 million).

Year-To-Date 2017 vs. 2016

Net revenue increased 9%, primarily reflecting:

A $38 million increase from regulated natural gas transmission growth projects placed into service;

A $22 million increase in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline;

An $18 million increase in PIR program revenues; and

A $17 million increase in rate recovery for low income assistance programs associated with regulated natural gas distribution operations.

Other operations and maintenance increased 14%, primarily reflecting:

A $21 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 $17 million increase in bad debt expense at regulated natural gas distribution operations primarily related to low income assistance programs. These bad debt expenses are recovered through rates and do not impact net income;

A $15 million increase due to a charge to write-off the balance of a regulatory asset no longer considered probable of recovery; and

An $11 million increase in salaries, wages and benefits and general and administrative expenses; partially offset by

A $16 million increase in gains from agreements to convey shale development rights underneath several natural gas storage fields;

The absence of organizational design initiative costs ($10 million); and

The absence of a union workforce temporary work stoppage ($8 million).

A charge for the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process ($77 million).

 

Other income increased by $8$59 million, primarily due to an increase in net investment gains on nuclear decommissioning trust funds ($40 million) and an increase in AFUDC associated with rate-regulated projects ($1219 million).

Income tax expense increased 75%, primarily due to higher pre-tax income ($171 million) partially offset by increased investment tax credits ($47 million) and the absencebenefit of a gain on the 2016 sale of a portion of Dominion Energy Gas’ interest in Iroquoisstate legislative change ($516 million).

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 September 30, 2017,2021, Dominion Energy had $2.4 billion of unused capacity under its joint revolving credit facilities. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.facility.

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash provided by Dominion Energy’s operating activities decreased $1.3 billion, including approximately $1.4 billion from discontinued operations. Net cash provided by continuing operations increased $278 million, primarily due to distributions from Cove Point, the operations acquiredabsence of a contract termination payment in connection with the Dominion Energy Questar Combination being included for allsale of 2017, an electric utility capacity benefit, derivative activitiesFowler Ridge, decreases in severance payments primarily related to a voluntary retirement program and proceeds from the assignment of the electric transmission tower rental portfolio,other changes in working capital items, partially offset by lower deferred fuel cost recoveries in the Virginia jurisdiction, milder weather in Dominion Energy’s electric utility service territory, higher interest expense, lower revenue from Cove Point’s import contracts and Dominion Energy’s contribution to Dominion Energy Questar’s pension plan.increased margin deposits.

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.

Dominion Energy'sEnergy’s operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that may negatively impact the timing or amounts of operating cash flows, which are discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companies'Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020 and in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s investing activities decreased $4.2increased $1.7 billion, primarily due to the absencerepayment of the acquisition of Dominion Energy QuestarQ-Pipe Transaction deposit and decreasesan increase in contributions to equity method affiliates including Atlantic Coast Pipeline, partially offset by a decrease in plant construction and other property additions partially offset by an increase inand the absence of the acquisitions of solar development projectsPivotal LNG, Inc. and increased investmentan additional interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

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 further in Credit Ratings and Debt Covenants in MD&A in the Companies'Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020, the 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, communicationscommunication 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.

Net cash provided by Dominion Energy's financing activities decreased $4.1increased $2.8 billion primarily due to the absence of debt and common stock repurchases and lower common stock dividend payments, partially offset by lower net issuances utilizedof debt.

Dominion Energy has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for the sale of up to finance$3.0 billion of variable denomination floating rate demand notes, called Dominion Energy Reliability InvestmentSM. 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 Questar Combination.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. At September 30, 2021, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $391 million with respect to such notes presented within short-term debt.  The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.


See Notes 3 and 14Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for further information regarding Dominion Energy'sEnergy’s credit facilities, liquidity and significant financing transactions.transactions, including a $900 million Sustainability Revolving Credit Agreement entered into in June 2021, a $1.3 billion term loan credit agreement entered into in July 2021, the issuance of $1.0 billion of 2.25% senior notes in August 2021 and the redemption of the remaining principal outstanding of $800 million of its July 2016 hybrids in August 2021.

In November 2021, Dominion Energy received commitments from lenders for its subsidiary holding its noncontrolling interest in Cove Point to issue approximately $2.5 billion in long-term debt secured by its noncontrolling interest in Cove Point.  The proceeds are expected to be utilized to repay portions of Dominion Energy’s long-term debt.

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. In the Credit Ratings section of MD&A in the Companies'Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020, there is a discussion on the use of capital markets by Dominion Energy as well as the impact of credit ratings on the accessibility and costs of using these markets.

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. See Note 2223 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies'Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020 and Note 1517 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, and in this report for additional information on various environmental matters.

Air

In August 2015, the EPA issued final carbon standards for existing fossil fuel power plants. Known as the Clean Power Plan, the rule uses a set of measures for reducing emissions from existing sources that includes efficiency improvements at coal plants, displacing coal-fired generation with increased utilization of natural gas combined cycle units and expanding renewable resources. The new rule requires states to impose standards of performance limits for existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units or equivalent statewide intensity-based or mass-based CO2 binding goals or limits. States are required to submit final plans identifying how they will comply with the rule by September 2018. The EPA also issued a proposed federal implementation plan and model trading rule that states can adopt or that would be put in place if, in response to the final guidelines, a state either does not submit a state plan or its plan is not approved by the EPA. The


final rule has been challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. In February 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay of the Clean Power Plan until the disposition of the petitions challenging the rule now before the Court of Appeals, and, if such petitions are filed in the future, before the U.S. Supreme Court. In June 2016, the Governor of Virginia signed an executive order directing the Virginia Natural Resources Secretary to convene a workgroup charged with recommending concrete steps to reduce carbon pollution from power plants which could include reductions at levels similar to the Clean Power Plan as an option. In March 2017, the President issued an Executive Order directing the EPA to undertake a review of the Clean Power Plan that could result in significant revisions to, or rescinding of, the rule. In April 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued an order suspending the cases challenging the Clean Power Plan for 60 days to allow the EPA time to determine whether to revise or rescind the rule. Also in April 2017, the EPA issued a notice withdrawing the proposed federal implementation plan and model trading rules. In June 2017, the Governor of Virginia issued a directive for development of state carbon regulations with a December 2017 deadline for submittal of draft rules to the Virginia State Air Pollution Control Board for approval to notice for public comment. In October 2017, the EPA issued a proposed rule to repeal the Clean Power Plan on the basis that the rule promulgated in 2015 exceeds the EPA’s authority under the CAA. The proposal does not include a replacement rule. The proposal also does not impact the EPA’s regulation of GHG emissions from stationary sources under the CAA permitting programs or the GHG performance standards for new sources, which remain in place. Given these developments and associated federal and state regulatory and legal uncertainties, Dominion Energy cannot predict the potential financial statement impacts but believes the potential expenditures to comply could be material.

State Actions

In August 2017, the Ozone Transport Commission released a draft model rule for control of NOx 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 and Maryland, are moving ahead with state-specific climate change regulations, including methane. Dominion Energy cannot currently estimate the potential financial statements impacts on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows related to these matters.

Significant Power Delivery Project

In September 2017, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for a CPCN to rebuild and operate in Augusta County, Virginia approximately 18 miles of the existing 500 kV transmission line between the Dooms substation and the Valley substation, along with associated substation work, for a total estimated cost of approximately $65 million. This case is pending.

Significant Gas Infrastructure Projects

Eastern Market Access

In November 2016, Cove Point filed an application to request FERC authorization to construct the approximately $150 million Eastern Market Access Project. Construction on the project is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2018, and the project facilities are expected to be placed into service in late 2018.


Atlantic Coast Pipeline

In October 2017, Atlantic Coast Pipeline received the FERC order authorizing the construction and operation of an approximately 600-mile natural gas pipeline running from West Virginia through Virginia to North Carolina. The project remains subject to other pending federal and state approvals.

Other Matters

While management currently has no plans which may affect the carrying value of Millstone, based on potential future economic and other factors, including, but not limited to, market power prices, results of capacity auctions, legislative and regulatory solutions to ensure nuclear plants are fairly compensated for their carbon-free emissions, and the impact of final rules from the EPA and the efforts of states to implement those final rules; there is risk that Millstone may be evaluated for an early retirement date. Should management make any decision on a potential early retirement date, the precise date and the resulting financial statement impacts, which could be material to Dominion Energy, may be affected by a number of factors, including any potential regulatory or legislative solutions, results of any transmission system reliability study assessments, and decommissioning requirements, among other factors.

Legal Matters

CVOW Commercial Project

In September 2019, Virginia Power filed applications with PJM for the CVOW Commercial Project and for certain approvals and rider recovery from the Virginia Commission in November 2021.  The total cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $10 billion, excluding financing costs.  Virginia Power’s estimate for the 2.6 GW project’s projected levelized cost of energy is approximately $80-90/MWh.  Following a competitive procurement process, Virginia Power has entered into or is in the final stages of negotiating fixed price contracts for the major offshore construction and equipment components.  The contracts include services denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for approximately €2.9 billion and 3.9 billion kr., which have been included within the cost estimate above based on a spot price from the third quarter of 2021.  In addition, certain of the fixed price contracts, approximately €0.7 billion, contain commodity indexing provisions linked to steel.  As a result, any changes in applicable exchange rates or commodity indices could result in a change to the ultimate cost of the project.  Virginia Power is evaluating hedging strategies, subject to approval by the Virginia Commission, to mitigate such risk.  In addition, the offshore construction scope is expected to include an approximately 20-month lease contract with an affiliated entity, pending approval by the Virginia Commission, for the use of a Jones Act compliant offshore wind installation vessel currently under development. Virginia Power has completed the conceptual design phase for the project’s onshore electric transmission facilities and selected a recommended route with consideration given for resiliency and minimizing environmental impacts.  Any changes to the onshore route necessitated during the receipt of various permitting approvals could result in upward pressure on the estimated cost of the project. Upon receiving approvals from the Virginia Commission and other permitting entities, Virginia Power anticipates commencing major construction activities in 2023 and the project is expected to be placed in service by the end of 2026.  Virginia Power expects to incur approximately 80% of the project costs from 2023 through 2025.  Through September 30, 2021, Virginia Power had incurred approximately $170 million of project costs.  Virginia Power anticipates funding the project consistent with its approved debt to equity capitalization structure. The project is vital for Virginia Power to meet the renewable energy portfolio standard established in the VCEA and is consistent with the criteria within the VCEA for the construction of an offshore wind facility deemed to be in the public interest as well as the guidelines facilitating cost recovery.  See additional discussion of the VCEA provisions concerning renewable generation projects in Note 13 to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2020.

In February 2021, DESC and the other members of the Southeast Energy Exchange Market submitted the Southeast Energy Exchange Market Agreement to FERC for authorization. This agreement sets forth the framework and rules for establishing and maintaining a new electronic trading platform designed to enhance the existing bilateral market in the Southeast utilizing zero-charge transmission service. That transmission service, in turn, will be voluntarily provided by participating transmission service providers, including DESC. In October 2021, the Southeast Energy Exchange Market Agreement became effective by operation of law as a result of a split FERC vote. The members expect the Southeast Energy Exchange Market platform to be operational in 2022.

 


ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The matters discussed in this Item may contain “forward-looking statements” as described in the introductory paragraphs under Part I,I., Item 2. MD&A in this report. The reader’s attention is directed to those paragraphs for discussion of various risks and uncertainties that may impact the Companies.

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management

The Companies'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's and Virginia Power'sthe Companies’ electric operations and Dominion Energy's and Dominion Energy Gas'Energy’s 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 Powerthe Companies hold commodity-based derivative instruments held for non-trading purposes associated with purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products and Dominion Energy Gas holds commodity-based financial derivative instruments held for non-trading purposes associated with purchases and sales of natural gas and other energy-related products.

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% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $24 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of September 30, 2021. A hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $2 million in the fair value of $28 million and $27 million of Dominion Energy'sEnergy’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.2020.

A hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease in the fair value of $48$2 million and $62$35 million of Virginia Power'sPower’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, respectively.

A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of $4 million of Dominion Energy Gas' commodity-based derivative instruments as of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

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. They also enter into interest rate sensitive derivatives, including interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements. For variable rate debt and interest rate swaps designated under fair value hedging and outstanding for the Companies,Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material change in earnings at September 30, 20172021 or December 31, 2016.2020.  


The Companies also use interest rate derivatives, including forward-starting swaps, as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments.rate swaps and interest rate block agreements to manage interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2017,2021, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $3.5$8.3 billion and $1.5$2.8 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 $55$143 million and $42$115 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy'sEnergy and Virginia Power'sPower’s interest rate derivatives at September 30, 2017.2021. As of December 31, 2016,2020, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $2.9$6.9 billion and $1.7$2.1 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 $58$124 million and $45$75 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy'sEnergy and Virginia Power'sPower’s interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2016.2020.

Dominion Energy Gas holds foreign currency swaps for the purpose of hedging the foreign currency exchange risk associated with Euro denominated debt. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas had $280 million (€250 million) in aggregate notional amounts of these foreign currency swaps outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a $3 million and $5 million decrease in the fair value of Dominion Energy Gas' foreign currency swaps at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.99


The impact of a change in interest rates on the Companies'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 PowerThe Companies 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 investment managers. These trust funds primarily hold marketable securities that are reported in Dominion Energy's and Virginia Power'sthe Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

Dominion Energy recognized net realizedinvestment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $137$678 million, $130 million and $113$662 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016, respectively,2020, and $144 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020, respectively. 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.investments. Dominion Energy recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net increasedecrease in unrealized gains on thesedebt investments of $271 million and $146$50 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021, and 2016, respectively,a net increase in unrealized gains on debt investments of $42 million and $183$57 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2016.2020, respectively.

Virginia Power recognized net realizedinvestment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $59$335 million, $31 million and $51$287 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016, respectively,2020, and $67 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020, respectively. 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.investments. Virginia Power recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net increasedecrease in unrealized gains on thesedebt investments of $127 million and $77$24 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021, and 2016, respectively,a net increase in unrealized gains on debt investments of $22 million and $93$29 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2016.2020, respectively.

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. 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 employee benefit plans and will be included in the determination of the amount of cash to be contributed to the employee benefit plans.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Companies'Companies’ businesses are influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and are often beyond the Companies’ control. A number of these risk factors have been identified in the Companies'Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, 2020,which should be taken into consideration when reviewing the information contained in this report. ThereOther than the risk factor discussed below, there have been no material changes with regard to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Companies'Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020. 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 MD&A in this report.

The development and construction of the CVOW Commercial Project involves significant risks.  

The CVOW Commercial Project is a large-scale, complex project that will take several years to complete.  Significant delays or cost increases, or an inability to recover certain project costs, could have an adverse effect on the Companies’ financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.  If the Companies are unable to complete the development and construction of the CVOW Commercial Project or decide in the future to delay or cancel the project, the Companies may not be able to recover all or a portion of their investment in the project and may incur substantial cancellation payments under existing contracts or other substantial costs associated with any such delay or cancellation.  The Companies’ ability to complete the CVOW Commercial Project within the currently proposed timeline, or at all, and consistent with current cost estimates is subject to various risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Companies’ control.  

The development and construction of the CVOW Commercial Project is dependent on the Companies’ ability to obtain and maintain various local, state and federal permits and other regulatory approvals, including Virginia Commission approval for rider recovery of project costs.  In addition, the design and route of the project’s onshore electric transmission and other facilities remain subject to regulatory review and approval.  Changes in the design and route of these onshore facilities, including an increase in amount of undergrounding, would likely increase project costs. Also, the CVOW Commercial Project may become the subject of litigation or other forms of intervention by third parties, including stakeholders or advocacy groups, that may impact the timing and receipt of permits or other regulatory approvals or otherwise delay or increase the cost of the project.  

The Companies’ ability to invest the significant financial resources necessary for the CVOW Commercial Project is dependent on the Companies’ access to the financial markets in a timely and cost-effective manner.  A decline in the Companies’ credit worthiness, an unfavorable market reputation of either the Companies or their industry or general market disruptions could adversely impact financing costs and increase the overall cost of the project.

The development and construction of the CVOW Commercial Project is also dependent on the ability of certain key suppliers and contractors to timely satisfy their obligations under contracts entered into or expected to be entered into.  Given the unique equipment and expertise required for this project, the Companies may not be able to remedy in a timely and cost-effective manner, if at all, any failure by one or more of these suppliers or contractors to timely satisfy their contractual obligations.  Certain of the fixed price contracts for major offshore construction and equipment components are denominated in Euros and Danish kroner, including those which contain commodity indexing provisions linked to steel.  Accordingly, to the extent the Companies are unable to, including from the inability to receive approval from the Virginia Commission, or elect not to, hedge their exposure to these currencies, adverse fluctuations in the applicable exchange rates would likely adversely affect the cost of the CVOW Commercial Project.  Similarly, adverse fluctuations in the price of certain raw materials, including steel, would likely, to the extent not hedged by the Companies, adversely affect the overall costs incurred to develop and construct the project.


The development and construction of the CVOW Commercial Project involves the use of new turbine technology and will take place in a marine environment, which presents unique challenges and will require the use of a specialized workforce and specialized equipment.  In addition, the timely installation of the turbines is dependent on the completion and availability of a Jones Act compliant vessel currently under construction, and regulatory approval for Virginia Power to use an affiliate’s vessel.

The timeline for development and construction of the CVOW Commercial Project may also be negatively impacted by severe weather events or marine wildlife, including migration patterns of endangered and protected species, both of which are outside of the control of the Companies and its contractors.  Any significant delays in the project timeline, including from any of the factors discussed above, resulting in both the delay of commencement of construction to 2024 or later combined with a delay to the in-service date to 2028 or later may impact the ability of the Companies to recover the costs of the CVOW Commercial Project.
