Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations | Note 1. Nature of Operations Dominion Energy, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is one of the nation’s largest producers and distributors of energy. Dominion Energy’s operations are conducted through various subsidiaries, including Virginia Power. Dominion Energy’s operations also include DESC, regulated gas distribution operations primarily in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S., nonregulated electric generation and, following completion of the GT&S Transaction in November 2020, a noncontrolling interest in Cove Point. See Note 3 for a description of the sale of substantially all of Dominion Energy’s gas transmission and storage operations to BHE through the GT&S Transaction completed in November 2020 and the expected sale of Dominion Energy’s remaining regulated gas transmission and storage services in the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S. to Southwest Gas. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Companies’ accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the Companies’ opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly their financial position at September 30, 2021, their results of operations and changes in equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and their cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature unless otherwise noted. The Companies make certain estimates and assumptions in preparing their Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Companies’ accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, their accounts, those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly-owned entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. For certain partnership structures, income is allocated based on the liquidation value of the underlying contractual arrangements. At September 30, 2021, Dominion Energy owns 50% of the voting interests in Four Brothers and Three Cedars and has a controlling financial interest over the entities through its right to control operations. Clearway’s ownership interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars, Terra Nova Renewable Partners’ 33% interest in certain Dominion Energy nonregulated solar projects and Brookfield’s 25% interest in Cove Point (effective December 2019 until November 2020) are reflected as noncontrolling interest in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement with Terra Nova Renewable Partners to sell its remaining controlling financial interest in certain nonregulated solar projects. Also in August 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement with Clearway to sell its 50% voting interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars. See Note 11 for more information. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Information for quarterly periods is affected by seasonal variations in sales, rate changes, electric fuel and other energy-related purchases, purchased gas expenses and other factors. Certain amounts in the Companies’ 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation for comparative purposes; however, such reclassifications did not affect the Companies’ net income, total assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows. Effective in the second quarter of 2021, the Companies updated their Statements of Cash Flows to present net charges for allowance for credit risk and write-offs of accounts receivables within other adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities from the previous presentation within changes in accounts receivable. All prior period information has been conformed to this presentation, which does not result in a change to net cash provided by operating activities. Amounts disclosed for Dominion Energy are inclusive of Virginia Power, where applicable. There have been no significant changes from Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, with the exception of the items described below. Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents Restricted Cash and Equivalents The following table provides a reconciliation of the total cash, restricted cash and equivalents reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets to the corresponding amounts reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents at End of Period Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents at Beginning of Period September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (millions) Dominion Energy Cash and cash equivalents (1) $ 195 $ 462 $ 179 $ 166 Restricted cash and equivalents (2)(3) 72 96 68 103 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 267 $ 558 $ 247 $ 269 Virginia Power Cash and cash equivalents $ 38 $ 62 $ 35 $ 17 Restricted cash and equivalents (3) 1 1 — 7 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 39 $ 63 $ 35 $ 24 (1) At September 30, 2021, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had $15 million, $49 million, $7 million and $31 million of cash and cash equivalents included in current assets held for sale, respectively. (2) At September 30, 2021, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had $22 million, $16 million, $3 million and $12 million of restricted cash and equivalents included in current assets held for sale, respectively (3) Restricted cash and equivalent balances are presented within other current assets in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. Supplemental Cash Flow Information The following table provides supplemental disclosure of cash flow information related to Dominion Energy: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 (millions) Significant noncash investing and financing activities: (1) Accrued capital expenditures $ 374 $ 461 Accrued contributions to equity method affiliates — 15 Leases (2) 75 45 (1) See Notes 16 and 17 for noncash financing activities related to derivative restructuring and the issuance of stock associated with the settlement of litigation and noncash investing activities related to property, plant and equipment conveyed to satisfy litigation, respectively. (2) Includes $34 million and $42 million of financing leases at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $41 million and $3 million of operating leases at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following table provides supplemental disclosure of cash flow information related to Virginia Power: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 (millions) Significant noncash investing and financing activities: (1) Accrued capital expenditures $ 238 $ 234 Leases ( 2 ) 59 26 (1) See Note 16 for noncash financing activities related to derivative restructuring. (2) Includes $24 million and $26 million of financing leases at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $35 million of operating leases at September 30, 2021. 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. 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 recovery of spent nuclear fuel costs for its AROs associated with the decommissioning of Kewaunee. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $44 million ($35 million after-tax) within other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statements of Income. In the third quarter of 2021, Dominion Energy revised its estimated cash flow projections associated with certain gas distribution pipeline AROs. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a $252 million decrease to AROs with a corresponding $173 million decrease to property, plant and equipment, net and the remainder primarily recorded as an increase to regulatory liabilities. |

Acquisitions and Dispositions | Note 3. Acquisitions and Dispositions Disposition of Gas Transmission & Storage Operations In July 2020, Dominion Energy 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 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 GT&S Transaction as discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In connection with closing of the GT&S Transaction, Dominion Energy and BHE entered into a transition services agreement under which Dominion Energy will 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. Dominion Energy recorded revenue of $5 million and $16 million associated with the transition service agreement in operating revenue in its Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Also in November 2020, BHE provided a $1.3 billion deposit to Dominion Energy on the Q-Pipe Transaction. 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. The following table represents selected information regarding the results of operations, which are reported within discontinued operations in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income: Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Q-Pipe Group GT&S Transaction Q-Pipe Group Q-Pipe Group GT&S Transaction Q-Pipe Group (millions) Operating revenue $ 62 $ 511 $ 59 $ 188 $ 1,554 $ 182 Operating expense (1) 24 208 16 52 1,311 78 Other income (2) 26 (5 ) 1 27 27 3 Interest and related charges (3) 7 267 5 17 366 15 Income (loss) before income taxes 57 31 39 146 (96 ) 92 Income tax expense (benefit) (4) 12 (14 ) 5 29 (65 ) 19 Net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests 45 45 34 117 (31 ) 73 Noncontrolling interests — 32 — — 97 — Net income (loss) attributable to Dominion Energy $ 45 $ 13 $ 34 $ 117 $ (128 ) $ 73 (1) GT&S Transaction includes a charge of $482 million ($359 million after-tax) recorded in the second quarter of 2020 associated with the probable abandonment of a significant portion of the Supply Header Project, as well as the establishment of a $75 million ARO as a result of the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project (2) Q-Pipe Group includes a $25 million benefit associated with the termination of the Q-Pipe Transaction in the third quarter of 2021. (3) GT&S Transaction includes a loss of $237 million recorded in the third quarter of 2020 associated with cash flow hedges of debt-related items that were determined to be probable of not occurring (4) Excludes $18 million income tax benefit recorded in the third quarter of 2021 associated with the GT&S Transaction. The carrying amounts of major classes of assets and liabilities relating to the disposal groups, which are reported as held for sale in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: At September 30, 2021 At December 31, 2020 Q-Pipe Group Q-Pipe Group (millions) Current assets (1) $ 47 $ 47 Equity method investments (2) 35 35 Property, plant and equipment, net 1,142 1,113 Other deferred charges and other assets, including goodwill and intangible assets (3) 223 224 Current liabilities 35 30 Long-term debt 426 426 Other deferred credits and liabilities 154 154 (1) Includes cash and cash equivalents (2) Comprised of an equity method investment in White River Hub (3) Includes goodwill of $191 million at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Capital expenditures and significant noncash items relating to the disposal groups included the following: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Q-Pipe Group GT&S Transaction Q-Pipe Group (millions) Capital expenditures $ 26 $ 240 $ 27 Significant noncash items: Impairment of assets and other charges — 463 — Depreciation, depletion and amortization — 173 25 Accrued capital expenditures 2 43 2 Sale of Kewaunee In May 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to sell 100% 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 acquisition 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 $46 million, consisting of $28 million in cash and $18 million, measured at fair value at closing, of consideration contingent on the achievement of certain revenue 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 use of significant judgmental and unobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of future cash flows. Birdseye is included in Contracted Assets. |

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 reflect the benefit of a state legislative change enacted in April 2021 for tax years beginning January 1, 2022. Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate reflects a $21 million deferred tax benefit, inclusive of a $16 million deferred tax benefit at Virginia Power. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate 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 partnership form discussed in Note 11. As of September 30, 2021, there have been no material changes in the 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’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, 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. |

The 2019 Equity Units and the 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 excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, as the dilutive stock 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, 2020 as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. |

See Note 9 in this report for further information about the 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 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 following table presents Dominion Energy’s quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements at September 30, 2021. The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs and percentages for price volatility.

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 of Financial Instruments Substantially all of the Companies’ financial instruments are recorded at fair value, with the exception of the instruments described below, which are reported at historical cost. Estimated fair values have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies considered appropriate by management. The carrying amount of cash, restricted cash and equivalents, customer and other receivables, affiliated receivables, short-term debt, affiliated current borrowings, payables to affiliates and accounts payable are representative of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For the Companies' financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value, the carrying amounts and estimated fair values are as follows: September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value (1) Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value (1) (millions) Dominion Energy Long-term debt (2)(3) $ 35,140 $ 40,471 $ 31,996 $ 38,773 Supplemental credit facility borrowings (4) 900 900 225 225 Junior subordinated notes (5) 1,386 1,503 3,411 3,633 Virginia Power Long-term debt (5) $ 13,212 $ 15,570 $ 13,207 $ 16,455 (1) Fair value is estimated using market prices, where available, and interest rates currently available for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. All fair value measurements are classified as Level 2. The carrying amount of debt issuances with short-term maturities and variable rates refinanced at current market rates is a reasonable estimate of their fair value. (2) Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs and discount or premium. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amount includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with fixed rate debt of $2 million and $3 million, respectively. (3) Includes amounts classified as held for sale, see Note 3. (4) Also includes Supplemental 364-Day ( 5 ) Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount or premium. |

Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Activities | Note 9. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Activities The Companies’ accounting policies, objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments are discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. The 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. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a third party. Exchange contracts utilize a financial intermediary, exchange, or clearinghouse to enter, execute or clear the transactions. Certain over-the-counter and exchange contracts contain contractual rights of setoff through master netting arrangements, derivative clearing agreements and contract default provisions. In addition, the contracts are subject to conditional rights of setoff through counterparty nonperformance, insolvency or other conditions. In general, most over-the-counter transactions and all exchange contracts are subject to collateral requirements. Types of collateral for over-the-counter and exchange contracts include cash, letters of credit, and in some cases other forms of securities, none of which are subject to restrictions. Cash collateral, as presented in the table below, is used to offset derivative assets and liabilities. Certain accounts receivable and accounts payable recognized on the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets, letters of credit and other forms of 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. Dominion Energy Balance Sheet Presentation The tables below present Dominion Energy’s derivative asset and liability balances by type of financial instrument, if the gross amounts recognized in its Consolidated Balance Sheets were netted with derivative instruments and cash collateral received or paid: September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Gross Assets Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (1) Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Received Net Amounts Gross Assets Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (1) Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Received Net Amounts (millions) Commodity contracts: Over-the-counter $ 202 $ 10 $ — $ 192 $ 117 $ 9 $ — $ 108 Exchange 45 32 — 13 49 24 — 25 Interest rate contracts: Over-the-counter 371 27 — 344 230 13 — 217 Total derivatives, subject to a master netting or similar arrangement $ 618 $ 69 $ — $ 549 $ 396 $ 46 $ — $ 350 (1) Excludes $38 September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Gross Liabilities Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (1) Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Paid Net Amounts Gross Liabilities Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (1) Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Paid Net Amounts (millions) Commodity contracts: Over-the-counter $ 148 $ 10 $ 79 $ 59 $ 30 $ 9 $ — $ 21 Exchange 473 32 441 — 24 24 — — Interest rate contracts: Over-the-counter 327 27 11 289 431 13 17 401 Total derivatives, subject to a master netting or similar arrangement $ 948 $ 69 $ 531 $ 348 $ 485 $ 46 $ 17 $ 422 (1) Excludes $2 million and $1 million of derivative liabilities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which are not subject to master Volumes The following table presents the volume of Dominion Energy’s derivative activity at September 30, 2021. These volumes are based on open derivative positions and represent the combined absolute value of their long and short positions, except in the case of offsetting transactions, for which they represent the absolute value of the net volume of its long and short positions.

AOCI The following table presents selected information related to losses on cash flow hedges included in AOCI in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2021: AOCI After-Tax Amounts Expected to be Reclassified to Earnings During the Next 12 Months After-Tax Maximum Term (millions) Interest rate $ (363 ) $ (43 ) 387 months Total $ (363 ) $ (43 ) 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 interest rates. Fair Value Hedges For derivative instruments that are designated and 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 no derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

As of September 30, 2021, Dominion Energy anticipates a total projected cost of approximately $65 million under these agreements with an associated aggregate generation capacity of 32 MW. Dominion Energy has claimed or expects to claim federal investment tax credits on the projects. Non-Wholly-Owned Nonregulated Solar Facilities Sale to Terra Nova Renewable Partners In August 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement with Terra Nova Renewable Partners to sell SBL Holdco, which holds Dominion Energy’s remaining 67% controlling interest in certain nonregulated solar projects for consideration of $456 million, 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. 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 evaluation, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $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, 2020 to adjust the property, plant and equipment 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 unobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risks inherent in the future cash flows and market prices. Virginia Power CCRO Utilization In the third quarter of 2021, Virginia Power wrote off $318 million, primarily consisting of property, plant and equipment, net representing the utilization of a CCRO in accordance with the GTSA in connection with the proposed settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review.

Regulatory Matters | Note 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 that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the regulatory process such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For regulatory matters that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any estimated range is based on currently available information, involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties and may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such regulatory matters will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current matters not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations. 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, 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 comprehensive 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 Power 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 coal- and oil-fired generating units and a $318 million ($237 million after-tax) charge for CCRO benefits provided to customers in impairment of assets and other charges (benefits) in its Consolidated Statements of Income. The amounts recorded reflect the impact 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 Virginia relating to the moratorium on utility disconnections during the COVID-19 pandemic and resulted in Virginia Power forgiving Virginia jurisdictional retail electric customer balances that were more than 30 days past due as of September 30, 2020. 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 2021 Triennial Review as discussed above. Grid Transformation and Security Act of 2018 In June 2021, Virginia Power 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 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 2021, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission for CPCNs to construct and operate 13 utility-scale projects totaling approximately 661 MW of solar generation and 70 MW of energy storage as part of its efforts to meet the renewable 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 pending. In 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.

Virginia Power updated its filing in October 2021 to reflect the increased commodity cost of fuel and proposed a total $26 million increase to the fuel component of its electric rates for the rate year beginning February 1, 2022. This matter is pending. 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. If the North Carolina Commission deems the temporary rates excessive in the final order, the excess amount along with interest will be refunded to customers. This matter is pending. Pipeline Integrity and Safety Program The North Carolina Commission has authorized PSNC to use a tracker mechanism to recover the incurred capital investment and associated costs of complying with federal standards for pipeline integrity and safety requirements that are not in current base rates. In September 2021, the North Carolina Commission approved PSNC’s request to increase the integrity management annual revenue requirement to $34 million, an increase of $1 million over its previous filing, effective October 2021. Rider D Rider D allows PSNC to recover from customers all prudently incurred gas costs and certain related uncollectible expenses as well as losses on negotiated gas and transportation sales. In September 2021, PSNC submitted a filing with the North Carolina Commission for a $61 million gas cost increase. The North Carolina Commission approved the filing in September 2021 with rates effective October 2021. South Carolina Regulation South Carolina Electric Base Rate Case In August 2020, DESC filed its retail electric base rate case and schedules with the South Carolina Commission. DESC proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $ 178 million, or 7.75 %, based on an adjusted test year data, effective on or after the first billing cycle of March 2021. 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 $36 DESC has agreed to a retail electric base rate case prior to July 1, 2023, such that new rates would not be effective prior to January 1, 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 DESC has approval for a DSM rider through which it recovers expenditures related to its 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. 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 represents 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. Ohio Regulation PIR Program In 2008, East Ohio began PIR, aimed at replacing approximately 25% of its pipeline system. In April 2021, the Ohio Commission approved East Ohio’s application to adjust the PIR cost recovery rates for 2020 costs. The filing reflects gross plant investment for 2020 of $178 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $2.0 billion and an annual revenue requirement of $243 million. CEP Program In 2011, East Ohio began CEP which enables East Ohio to defer depreciation expense, property tax expense and carrying costs associated with CEP investments. In April 2021, East Ohio filed an application requesting approval to adjust the CEP cost recovery rates for 2019 and 2020 costs. The filing reflects gross plant investment for 2019 of $137 million, gross plant investment for 2020 of $99 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $957 million and a revenue requirement of $119 million. This matter is pending. UEX Rider East Ohio has approval for a UEX Rider through which it recovers the bad debt expense of most customers not participating in the PIPP Plus Program. The UEX Rider is adjusted annually to achieve dollar for dollar recovery of East Ohio’s actual write-offs of uncollectible amounts. In July 2021, the Ohio Commission approved East Ohio’s application to adjust its UEX Rider to reflect an increased annual revenue requirement of $ 20 million to provide for an under -recovered accumulated bad debt expense of $ 7 million as of March 31, 2021, and recovery of net bad debt expense projected to total $ 13 million for the twelve-month period ending March 2022 . West Virginia Regulation West Virginia Base Rate Case In September 2020, Hope filed its base rate case and schedules with the West Virginia Commission. Hope proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $28 million. The base rate increase was proposed to recover the significant investment in distribution infrastructure and costs associated with the acquisition of over 2,000 miles of gathering assets, both for the benefit of West Virginia customers. The proposed rates would provide for an ROE of 10.25% compared to the authorized ROE of 9.45%. In July 2021, the West Virginia Commission approved a non-fuel, base rate increase of $13 million for rates effective July 2021 with an ROE of 9.54%.

Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income include $29 million and $87 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $26 million and $76 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, of depreciation expense included in depreciation, depletion and amortization, related to facilities subject to power purchase agreements under which Dominion Energy is the lessor. Corporate Office Leasing Arrangement In December 2019, Dominion Energy signed an agreement with a lessor, as amended in May 2020, to construct and lease a new corporate office property in Richmond, Virginia. The lessor provided equity and had obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $465 million, to fund the estimated project costs. In March 2021, Dominion Energy notified the lessor of its intention to terminate the leasing arrangement effective April 2021. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $71 million ($53 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2021, included in impairments of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income, primarily for amounts required to be repaid to the lessor. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Significant Financing Transactions | Note 16. Significant Financing Transactions Credit Facilities and Short-term Debt The Companies use short-term debt to fund working capital requirements and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the year, depending upon the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. In addition, Dominion Energy utilizes cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements. Collateral requirements are impacted by commodity prices, hedging levels, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings and the credit quality of its counterparties. Dominion Energy In June 2021, Dominion Energy amended its $6.0 billion joint revolving credit facility to provide for a discount in the pricing of certain annual fees and amounts borrowed by Dominion Energy under the facility if Dominion Energy achieves certain annual renewable electric generation and diversity and inclusion objectives. In addition, the amended facility incorporates certain administrative changes with respect to the anticipated transition from LIBOR to an alternative benchmark rate. The key financial covenants are unchanged from the previous facility. At September 30, 2021, Dominion Energy’s commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding, as well as its capacity available under the credit facility, were as follows: Facility Limit Outstanding Commercial Paper Outstanding Letters of Credit Facility Capacity Available (millions) Joint revolving credit facility (1) $ 6,000 $ 3,494 $ 99 $ 2,407 (1) This credit facility matures in June 2026, with the potential to be extended by the borrowers to June 2028, and can be used by the borrowers under the credit facility to support bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper, as well as to support up to a combined $2.0 billion of letters of credit. DESC and Questar Gas’ short-term financings are supported through access as co-borrowers to the joint revolving credit facility discussed above with the Companies. At September 30, 2021, the sub-limits for DESC and Questar Gas were $500 million and $250 million, respectively. In January 2021, DESC and GENCO applied to FERC for a two-year short-term borrowing authorization. In March 2021, FERC granted DESC authority through March 2023 to issue short-term indebtedness (pursuant to Section 204 of the Federal Power Act) in amounts not to exceed $2.2 billion outstanding with maturity dates of one year or less. In addition, in March 2021, FERC granted GENCO authority through March 2023 to issue short-term indebtedness not to exceed $200 million outstanding with maturity dates of one year or less. In addition to the credit facilities mentioned above, Dominion Energy also has a credit facility which allows Dominion Energy to issue up to approximately $30 million in letters of credit and matures in June 2022 In addition to the credit facilities mentioned above, SBL Holdco has $30 million of credit facilities which had an original stated maturity date of December 2017 with automatic one-year one-year In March 2020, Dominion Energy entered into a $900 million 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement that bore interest at a variable rate. At December 31, 2020, $225 million was outstanding under the agreement. In March 2021, the agreement reached maturity and Dominion Energy repaid the outstanding borrowed amount in full. In July 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an approximately $1.3 billion term loan credit agreement following the termination of the Q-Pipe Transaction as discussed in Note 3. Dominion Energy has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for the sale of up to $3.0 billion of variable denomination floating rate demand notes, called Dominion Energy Reliability SM At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $391 million and $268 million, respectively, with respect to such notes presented within short-term debt. The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt. Virginia Power Virginia Power’s short-term financing is supported through its access as co-borrower to Dominion Energy’s $6.0 billion joint revolving credit facility, as amended in June 2021. The facility can be used for working capital, as support for the combined commercial paper programs of Virginia Power, Dominion Energy, Questar Gas and DESC and for other general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2021, Virginia Power’s share of commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding under the joint revolving credit facility with Dominion Energy, Questar Gas and DESC was as follows: Facility Limit (1) Outstanding Commercial Paper Outstanding Letters of Credit (millions) Joint revolving credit facility (1) $ 6,000 $ 896 $ 12 (1) The full amount of the facility is available to Virginia Power, less any amounts outstanding to co-borrowers Dominion Energy, Questar Gas and DESC. The sub-limit for Virginia Power is set pursuant to the terms of the facility but can be changed at the option of the borrowers multiple times per year. At September 30, 2021, the sub-limit for Virginia Power was $1.75 billion. If Virginia Power has liquidity needs in excess of its sub-limit, the sub-limit may be changed or such needs may be satisfied through short-term intercompany borrowings from Dominion Energy. This credit facility matures in June 2026, with the potential to be extended by the borrowers to June 2028. The credit facility can be used to support bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper, as well as to support up to $2.0 billion (or the sub-limit, whichever is less) of letters of credit. Long-term Debt Unless otherwise noted, the proceeds of long-term debt issuances were used for general corporate purposes and/or to repay short-term debt. In March 2021, PSNC issued, through private placement, $150 million of 3.10% senior notes that mature in 2051. In April 2021, Dominion Energy issued $600 million of 1.45% senior notes and $500 million of 3.30% senior notes that mature in 2026 and 2041, respectively. In June 2021, Dominion Energy entered into a $900 million Sustainability Revolving Credit Agreement. This supplemental credit facility, which matures in June 2024 In July 2021, DESC redeemed the remaining principal outstanding of $30 million of its 3.22% first mortgage bonds, plus accrued interest. The bonds would have otherwise matured in October 2021. In July 2021, Dominion Energy redeemed the remaining principal outstanding of $400 million of its 2.0% senior notes, plus accrued interest. The notes would have otherwise matured in August 2021. In August 2021, Dominion Energy issued $1.0 billion of 2.25% senior notes that mature in 2031 In August 2021, Dominion Energy redeemed the remaining principal outstanding of $800 million of its July 2016 hybrids, which matured in 2076 and were listed on the NYSE under the symbol DRUA. Expenses related to the early redemption of the hybrids were $23 million reflected within interest and related charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. In August 2021, Questar Gas issued through private placements $125 million of 2.21% senior notes In November 2021, Virginia Power provided notice to redeem its 2.95% senior notes, which would have otherwise matured in January 2022, at the remaining principal outstanding of $450 million plus accrued interest. Derivative Restructuring In June 2020, Dominion Energy amended a portfolio of interest rate swaps with a notional value of $2.0 billion, extending the mandatory termination dates from 2020 and 2021 to December 2024. As a result of this noncash financing activity with an embedded interest rate swap, Dominion Energy recorded $326 million in other long-term debt representing the net present value of the initial fair value measurement of the new contract as discussed in Note 18 to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Dominion Energy settled certain of the outstanding interest rate swaps which would have otherwise matured in December 2024, resulting in a million reduction in other long-term debt. In August 2020, Virginia Power amended a portfolio of interest rate swaps with a notional value of $900 million, extending the mandatory termination dates from 2020 to December 2023. As a result of this noncash financing activity with an embedded interest rate swap, Virginia Power recorded $443 million in other long-term debt representing the net present value of the initial fair value measurement of the new contract as discussed in Note 18 to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Preferred Stock Dominion Energy is authorized to issue up to 20 million shares of preferred stock, which may be designated into separate classes. At both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Dominion Energy had issued and outstanding 2.4 million shares of preferred stock, 1.6 million and 0.8 million of which were designated as the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, respectively. Dominion Energy recorded dividends of $7 million ($4.375 per share) for both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and $21 million ($13.125 per share) for both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, on the Series A Preferred Stock. Dominion Energy also recorded dividends of $9 million ($11.625 per share) for both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and $27 million ($34.875 per share) for both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, on Series B Preferred Stock. The stock purchase contract liability associated with Dominion Energy’s 2019 Equity Units was $65 million and $129 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Stock purchase contract payments of $64 million and $62 million were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In calculating diluted EPS, Dominion Energy applies the treasury stock method to the stock purchase contracts and the if-converted method to the Series A Preferred Stock. There have been no significant changes to Dominion Energy’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock as described in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, other than the item described below. Series A Preferred Stock – Conversion Settlement Modification In November 2021, Dominion Energy’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to require that any conversion of its Series A Preferred Stock be settled, at Dominion Energy’s election, either entirely in cash or in cash up to the first $1,000 per share and in shares of Dominion Energy common stock, cash or any combination thereof for any amounts in excess of $1,000 per share. As a result of establishing a minimum amount to be settled in cash if the holders elect to convert the Series A Preferred Stock, $1.6 billion will be reclassified from equity to mezzanine equity in the fourth quarter of 2021. Issuance of Common Stock Dominion Energy recorded, net of fees and commissions, $292 million from the issuance of 4 million shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $481 million from the issuance of 6.2 million shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, through various programs including Dominion Energy Direct® and employee savings plans, as well as settlements of litigation as described in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In July 2021, Dominion Energy issued 1.4 million shares of its common stock, valued at $104 million, to satisfy DESC’s obligation under a settlement agreement for the FILOT litigation discussed in Note 17. In August 2021, Dominion Energy issued 0.6 million shares of its common stock, valued at $45 million, to satisfy DESC’s obligation for the initial payment under a settlement agreement with the SCDOR discussed in Note 17. In September 2020, Dominion Energy issued 4.1 million shares of its common stock to satisfy its obligation under a settlement agreement for the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case discussed in Note 17. These shares were immediately repurchased as discussed below. At-the-Market Program In August 2020, Dominion Energy entered into sales agency agreements to effect sales under an at-the-market program as discussed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, Dominion Energy has not issued any shares or entered into any forward sale agreements under this program. Repurchase of Common Stock In November 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of Dominion Energy’s common stock in addition to the $3.0 billion repurchase program authorized in July 2020 and completed in December 2020 as discussed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 . Dominion Energy did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 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 that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the litigation or investigative processes such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For legal proceedings and governmental examinations that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any accrued liability is recorded on a gross basis with a receivable also recorded for any probable insurance recoveries. Estimated ranges of loss are inclusive of legal fees and net of any anticipated insurance recoveries. Any estimated range is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such legal proceedings and governmental examinations will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current proceedings not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations. Environmental Matters The Companies are subject to costs resulting from a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. These laws and regulations affect future planning and existing operations. They can result in increased capital, operating and other costs as a result of compliance, remediation, containment and monitoring obligations. Air 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 meet applicable requirements of the CAA. However, states may choose to develop regulatory programs that are more restrictive. Many of the Companies’ facilities are subject to the CAA’s permitting and other requirements. Ozone Standards The EPA published final non-attainment designations for the October 2015 ozone standard in June 2018 with states required to develop plans to address the new standard. Until the states have developed implementation plans for the standard, the Companies are unable to predict whether or to what extent the new rules will ultimately require additional controls. The expenditures required to implement additional controls could have a material impact on the Companies’ results of operations and cash flows. ACE Rule In July 2019, the EPA published the final rule informally referred to as the ACE Rule, as a replacement for the Clean Power Plan. The ACE Rule regulated GHG emissions from existing coal-fired power plants pursuant to Section 111(d) of the CAA and required states to develop plans by July 2022 establishing unit-specific performance standards for existing coal-fired power plants. In January 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated the ACE Rule and remanded it to the EPA. This decision would take effect upon issuance of the court’s mandate. In March 2021, the court issued a partial mandate vacating and remanding all parts of the ACE Rule except for the portion of the ACE Rule that repealed the Clean Power Plan. In October 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit’s decision on the ACE Rule. While the EPA has stated its intention to replace the ACE Rule, it is unknown at this time if or how the EPA will issue a replacement for the ACE Rule and how that replacement will affect the Companies’ operations, financial condition and/or 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 exceed a significant emissions rate of 75,000 tons per year of CO 2 In December 2018, the EPA proposed revised Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New, Modified, and Reconstructed Stationary Sources. The proposed rule would amend the previous determination that the best system of emission reduction for newly constructed coal-fired steam generating units is no longer partial carbon capture and storage. Instead, the proposed revised best system of emission reduction for this source category is the most efficient demonstrated steam cycle (e.g., supercritical steam conditions for large units and subcritical steam conditions for small units) in combination with best operating practices. In January 2021, the EPA published a final rule affirming that fossil fuel-fired electric generating units meet the requirement that a source category “significantly contribute” to endangering air pollution for the purposes of regulating GHG emissions from new, modified and reconstructed stationary sources. The January 2021 rule also established a threshold for the “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 April 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted an unopposed motion by the EPA to vacate and remand the January 2021 rule. The proposed revision to the performance standards for coal-fired steam generating units remains pending. Until the EPA ultimately takes final action on this rulemaking, the Companies cannot predict the impact to their results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. 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 technology standard for entrainment. Instead, the EPA has delegated entrainment technology decisions to state regulators. State regulators are to make case-by-case entrainment technology determinations after an examination of five mandatory facility-specific factors, including a social cost-benefit test, and six optional facility-specific factors. The rule governs all electric generating stations with water withdrawals above two MGD, with a heightened entrainment analysis for those facilities over 125 MGD. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power currently have 15 and nine facilities, respectively, that are subject to the final regulations. Dominion Energy is also working with the EPA and state regulatory agencies to assess the applicability of Section 316(b) to eight hydroelectric facilities, including three Virginia Power facilities. The Companies anticipate that they may have to install impingement control technologies at certain of these stations that have once-through cooling systems. The 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 the Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities. Effluent Limitations Guidelines In September 2015, the EPA released a final rule to revise the Effluent Limitations Guidelines for the Steam Electric Power Generating Category. The final rule established updated standards for wastewater discharges that apply primarily at coal and oil steam generating stations. Affected facilities are required to convert from wet to dry or closed cycle coal ash management, improve existing wastewater treatment systems and/or install new wastewater treatment technologies in order to meet the new discharge limits. In April 2017, the EPA granted two separate petitions for reconsideration of the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule and stayed future compliance dates in the rule. Also in April 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted the EPA’s request for a stay of the pending consolidated litigation challenging the rule while the EPA addresses the petitions for reconsideration. In September 2017, the EPA signed a rule to postpone the earliest compliance dates for certain waste streams regulations in the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule from November 2018 to November 2020; however, the latest date for compliance for these regulations was December 2023 . . While the impacts of this rule could be material to the Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities. Waste Management and Remediation The operations of the Companies are subject to a variety of state and federal laws and regulations governing the management and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and release of hazardous substances associated with current and/or historical operations. The CERCLA, as amended, and similar state laws, may impose joint, several and strict liability for cleanup on potentially responsible parties who owned, operated or arranged for disposal at facilities affected by a release of hazardous substances. In addition, many states have created programs to incentivize voluntary remediation of sites where historical releases of hazardous substances are identified and property owners or responsible parties decide to initiate cleanups. From time to time, the Companies may be identified as a potentially responsible party in connection with the alleged release of hazardous substances or wastes at a site. Under applicable federal and state laws, the Companies could be responsible for costs associated with the investigation or remediation of impacted sites, or subject to contribution claims by other responsible parties for their costs incurred at such sites. The Companies also may identify, evaluate and remediate other potentially impacted sites under voluntary state programs. Remediation costs may be subject to reimbursement under the Companies’ insurance policies, rate recovery mechanisms, or both. Except as described below, the Companies do not believe these matters will have a material effect on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Dominion Energy has determined that it is associated with former manufactured gas plant sites, including certain sites associated with Virginia Power. At 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 three sites, including one at Virginia Power, and expects to commence remediation activities in 2021 or 2022 depending on receipt of final permits and approvals. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Dominion Energy had $40 million and $42 million, respectively, and Virginia Power had $25 million and $26 million, respectively, of reserves recorded. In addition, for one site associated with Dominion Energy, an updated work plan submitted to SCDHEC in September 2018, would increase costs by approximately $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, including two associated with Virginia Power, which are not under investigation by any state or federal environmental agency nor the subject of any current or proposed plans to perform remediation activities. Due to the uncertainty surrounding such sites, the Companies are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts. Other Legal Matters The Companies are defendants in a number of lawsuits and claims involving unrelated incidents of property damage and personal injury. Due to the uncertainty surrounding these matters, the Companies are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts; however, they could have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. SCANA Legal Proceedings The following describes certain legal proceedings involving Dominion Energy, SCANA or DESC relating to events occurring before closing of the SCANA Combination. No reference to, or disclosure of, any proceeding, item or matter described below shall be construed as an admission or indication that such proceeding, item or matter is material. For certain of these matters, and unless otherwise noted therein, Dominion Energy is unable to estimate a reasonable range of possible loss and the related financial statement impacts, but for any such matter there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. For the matters for which Dominion Energy is able to reasonably estimate a probable loss, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include reserves of $196 Ratepayer Class Actions In May 2018, a consolidated complaint against DESC, SCANA and the State of South Carolina was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the DESC Ratepayer Case). 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 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 and Santee Cooper establish a fund for the benefit of class members in the amount of $520 million, of which Dominion Energy’s portion was $320 million of shares of Dominion Energy common stock. In July 2020, the court issued a final approval of the settlement 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 by certain Santee Cooper ratepayers against DESC, SCANA, Dominion Energy and former directors and officers of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Orangeburg, South Carolina (the Luquire Case). In August 2019, DESC, SCANA and Dominion Energy were voluntarily dismissed from the case. The claims 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 the Glibowski Case. This case was dismissed as part of the Santee 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 District of 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 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 dismiss the appeal with the South Carolina Court of Appeals, which was granted in July 2020. In August 2020, the Supreme Court of South Carolina denied the defendants’ 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 July 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 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 January 2018, a purported class action was filed against SCANA, Dominion Energy and certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Lexington County, South Carolina (the City of Warren Lawsuit). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that defendants violated their fiduciary duties to shareholders by executing a merger agreement that would unfairly deprive plaintiffs of the true value of their SCANA stock, and that Dominion Energy aided and abetted these actions. Among other remedies, the plaintiff seeks to enjoin and/or rescind the merger. In February 2018, a purported class action was filed against Dominion Energy and certain former directors of SCANA and DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina (the Metzler Lawsuit). The allegations made and the relief sought by the plaintiffs are substantially similar to that described for the City of Warren Lawsuit. In September 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted the plaintiffs’ motion to consolidate the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit (the Federal Court Merger Case). In October 2019, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against certain former directors and executive officers of SCANA and DESC, which stated substantially similar allegations to those in the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit as well as an inseparable fraud claim. In November 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. In April 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina denied the motion to dismiss. In May 2020, SCANA filed a motion to intervene, which was denied in August 2020. In September 2020, SCANA filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. In June 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle in the amount of $ 63 million to resolve this matter as well as the State Court Merger Case described below, subject to court approval. This settlement was reached in contemplation of and will be partially satisfied by the State Court Derivative Case settlement described above. In May 2019, a case was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina (the State Court Merger Case). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, were unjustly enriched by the bonuses they were paid in connection with the project and breached their fiduciary duties to secure and obtain the best price for the sale of SCANA. Also in May 2019, the case was removed to the U.S. District Court of South Carolina by the non-South Carolina defendants. In June 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the case to state court. In January 2020, the case was remanded to state court. In February 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. In June 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle as described above relating to this matter as well as the Federal Court Merger Case and the State Court Derivative Case. Employment Class Actions and Indemnification In August 2017, a case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina on behalf of persons who were formerly employed at the NND Project. In July 2018, the court certified this case as a class action. In February 2019, certain of these plaintiffs filed an additional case, which case has been dismissed and the plaintiffs have joined the case filed August 2017. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that SCANA, DESC, Fluor Corporation and Fluor Enterprises, Inc. violated the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act in connection with the decision to stop construction at the NND Project. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants failed to provide adequate advance written notice of their terminations of employment and are seeking damages, which could be as much as $100 million for 100% of the NND Project. In January 2021, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted summary judgment in favor of SCANA, DESC, Fluor Corporation and Fluor Enterprises, Inc. In February 2021, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. This case is pending. In September 2018, a case was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina by Fluor Enterprises, Inc. and Fluor Daniel Maintenance Services, Inc. against DESC and Santee Cooper. The plaintiffs make claims for indemnification, breach of contract and promissory estoppel arising from, among other things, the defendants' alleged failure and refusal to defend and indemnify the Fluor defendants in the aforementioned case. This case is pending. FILOT Litigation and Related Matters In November 2017, Fairfield County filed a complaint and a motion for temporary injunction against DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina, making allegations of breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and unfair trade practices related to DESC’s termination of the FILOT agreement between DESC and Fairfield County related to the NND Project. The plaintiff sought a temporary and permanent injunction to prevent DESC from terminating the FILOT agreement. The plaintiff withdrew the motion for temporary injunction in December 2017. In July 2021, the parties executed a settlement agreement 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 amount 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 the initial payment under the settlement agreement. In September and October 2017, SCANA was served with subpoenas issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina and the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement seeking documents related to the NND Project. In February 2020, the SEC filed a complaint against SCANA, two of its former executive officers and DESC in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements about the NND Project. In 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. South Carolina issued an order approving the settlement which required 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 settlements in the 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 addition, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is conducting a criminal 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.

Certain of Virginia Power’s derivative instruments contain credit-related contingent provisions. These provisions require Virginia Power to provide collateral upon the occurrence of specific events, primarily a credit rate downgrade. If the credit-related contingent features underlying these instruments that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash were fully triggered as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Virginia Power would have been required to post an additional $40 million and $2 million, respectively of additional collateral to its counterparties. The collateral that would be required to be posted includes the impacts of any offsetting asset position and any amounts already posted for derivatives and non-derivative contracts, per contractual terms. Virginia Power had posted $79 million of collateral at September 30, 2021 related to derivatives with credit-related contingent provisions that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash. No such amounts were posted at December 31, 2020.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related-Party Transactions | Note 19. Related-Party Transactions Virginia Power engages in related-party transactions primarily with other Dominion Energy subsidiaries (affiliates). Virginia Power’s receivable and payable balances with affiliates are settled based on contractual terms or on a monthly basis, depending on the nature of the underlying transactions. Virginia Power is included in Dominion Energy's consolidated federal income tax return and, where applicable, combined income tax returns for Dominion Energy are filed in various states. Dominion Energy’s transactions with equity method investments are described in Note 10. A discussion of significant related-party transactions follows. Virginia Power Transactions with Affiliates Virginia Power transacts with affiliates for certain quantities of natural gas and other commodities in the ordinary course of business. Virginia Power also enters into certain commodity derivative contracts with affiliates. Virginia Power uses these contracts, which are principally comprised of forward commodity purchases, to manage commodity price risks associated with purchases of natural gas. At September 30, 2021, Virginia Power’s derivative assets and liabilities with affiliates were $63 million and $2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2020, Virginia Power’s derivative assets and liabilities with affiliates were $3 million and $22 million, respectively. See Note 9 for more information. Virginia Power participates in certain Dominion Energy benefit plans described in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, amounts due to Dominion Energy associated with the Dominion Energy Pension Plan and included in other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $500 million and $436 million, respectively.

DES and other affiliates provide accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services to Virginia Power. In addition, Virginia Power provides certain services to affiliates, including charges for facilities and equipment usage. The financial statements for all years presented include costs for certain general, administrative and corporate expenses assigned by DES to Virginia Power on the basis of direct and allocated methods in accordance with Virginia Power’s services agreements with DES. Where costs incurred cannot be determined by specific identification, the costs are allocated based on the proportional level of effort devoted by DES resources that is attributable to the entity, determined by reference to number of employees, salaries and wages and other similar measures for the relevant DES service. Management believes the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocation of general corporate overhead expenses are reasonable. Presented below are Virginia Power’s significant transactions with DES and other affiliates: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (millions) Commodity purchases from affiliates $ 219 $ 135 $ 526 $ 450 Services provided by affiliates (1) 116 108 363 343 Services provided to affiliates 6 5 15 14 (1) Includes capitalized expenditures of $39 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and $121 million and $107 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Virginia Power has borrowed funds from Dominion Energy under short-term borrowing arrangements. There were $310 million and $380 million in short-term demand note borrowings from Dominion Energy as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Virginia Power had no outstanding borrowings, net of repayments, under the Dominion Energy money pool for its nonregulated subsidiaries as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the Companies’ opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly their financial position at September 30, 2021, their results of operations and changes in equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and their cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature unless otherwise noted. |
Estimates | The Companies make certain estimates and assumptions in preparing their Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |
Consolidation | The Companies’ accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, their accounts, those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly-owned entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. For certain partnership structures, income is allocated based on the liquidation value of the underlying contractual arrangements. At September 30, 2021, Dominion Energy owns 50% of the voting interests in Four Brothers and Three Cedars and has a controlling financial interest over the entities through its right to control operations. Clearway’s ownership interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars, Terra Nova Renewable Partners’ 33% interest in certain Dominion Energy nonregulated solar projects and Brookfield’s 25% interest in Cove Point (effective December 2019 until November 2020) are reflected as noncontrolling interest in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement with Terra Nova Renewable Partners to sell its remaining controlling financial interest in certain nonregulated solar projects. Also in August 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement with Clearway to sell its 50% voting interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars. See Note 11 for more information. |
Reclassifications | Certain amounts in the Companies’ 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation for comparative purposes; however, such reclassifications did not affect the Companies’ net income, total assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows. Effective in the second quarter of 2021, the Companies updated their Statements of Cash Flows to present net charges for allowance for credit risk and write-offs of accounts receivables within other adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities from the previous presentation within changes in accounts receivable. All prior period information has been conformed to this presentation, which does not result in a change to net cash provided by operating activities. Amounts disclosed for Dominion Energy are inclusive of Virginia Power, where applicable. There have been no significant changes from Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, with the exception of the items described below. |
Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents | Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents Restricted Cash and Equivalents The following table provides a reconciliation of the total cash, restricted cash and equivalents reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets to the corresponding amounts reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents at End of Period Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents at Beginning of Period September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (millions) Dominion Energy Cash and cash equivalents (1) $ 195 $ 462 $ 179 $ 166 Restricted cash and equivalents (2)(3) 72 96 68 103 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 267 $ 558 $ 247 $ 269 Virginia Power Cash and cash equivalents $ 38 $ 62 $ 35 $ 17 Restricted cash and equivalents (3) 1 1 — 7 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 39 $ 63 $ 35 $ 24 (1) At September 30, 2021, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had $15 million, $49 million, $7 million and $31 million of cash and cash equivalents included in current assets held for sale, respectively. (2) At September 30, 2021, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had $22 million, $16 million, $3 million and $12 million of restricted cash and equivalents included in current assets held for sale, respectively (3) Restricted cash and equivalent balances are presented within other current assets in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. Supplemental Cash Flow Information The following table provides supplemental disclosure of cash flow information related to Dominion Energy: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 (millions) Significant noncash investing and financing activities: (1) Accrued capital expenditures $ 374 $ 461 Accrued contributions to equity method affiliates — 15 Leases (2) 75 45 (1) See Notes 16 and 17 for noncash financing activities related to derivative restructuring and the issuance of stock associated with the settlement of litigation and noncash investing activities related to property, plant and equipment conveyed to satisfy litigation, respectively. (2) Includes $34 million and $42 million of financing leases at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $41 million and $3 million of operating leases at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following table provides supplemental disclosure of cash flow information related to Virginia Power: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 (millions) Significant noncash investing and financing activities: (1) Accrued capital expenditures $ 238 $ 234 Leases ( 2 ) 59 26 |
Property, Plant and Equipment | 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. 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 | Asset Retirement Obligations In the second quarter of 2021, Dominion Energy revised its estimated cash flow projections associated with the recovery of spent nuclear fuel costs for its AROs associated with the decommissioning of Kewaunee. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $44 million ($35 million after-tax) within other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statements of Income. In the third quarter of 2021, Dominion Energy revised its estimated cash flow projections associated with certain gas distribution pipeline AROs. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a $252 million decrease to AROs with a corresponding $173 million decrease to property, plant and equipment, net and the remainder primarily recorded as an increase to regulatory liabilities. |
Fair Value Measurements | 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 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. |
Regulatory Matters Involving Potential Loss Contingencies | 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 that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the regulatory process such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For regulatory matters that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any estimated range is based on currently available information, involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties and may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such regulatory matters will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current matters not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations. |
Commitments and Contingencies | As a result of issues generated in the ordinary course of business, the Companies are involved in legal proceedings before various courts and are periodically subject to governmental examinations (including by regulatory authorities), inquiries and investigations. Certain legal proceedings and governmental examinations involve demands for unspecified amounts of damages, are in an initial procedural phase, involve uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, or involve significant factual issues that need to be resolved, such that it is not possible for the Companies to estimate a range of possible loss. For such matters that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the litigation or investigative processes such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For legal proceedings and governmental examinations that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any accrued liability is recorded on a gross basis with a receivable also recorded for any probable insurance recoveries. Estimated ranges of loss are inclusive of legal fees and net of any anticipated insurance recoveries. Any estimated range is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such legal proceedings and governmental examinations will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current proceedings not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations. |
Guarantees, Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit | 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. |
