Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature Of Operations | N OTE ATURE OF PERATIONS Dominion Energy, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is one of the nation’s largest producers and transporters of energy. Dominion Energy’s operations are conducted through various subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Virginia Power is a regulated public utility that generates, transmits and distributes electricity for sale in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Virginia Power is a member of PJM, an RTO, and its electric transmission facilities are integrated into the PJM wholesale electricity markets. All of Virginia Power’s stock is owned by Dominion Energy. Dominion Energy Gas is a holding company that conducts business activities through a regulated interstate natural gas transmission pipeline and underground storage system in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic Dominion Energy’s operations also include the Cove Point LNG Facility, Cove Point Pipeline, Liquefaction Project, an equity investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline and regulated gas transportation and distribution operations primarily in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S. Dominion Energy’s nonregulated operations include merchant generation, energy marketing and price risk management activities and retail energy marketing operations. At December 31, 2018, Dominion Energy owned the general partner, 60.9% of the common units and 37.5% of the convertible preferred interests in Dominion Energy Midstream, which owned a preferred equity interest and the general partner interest in Cove Point, DECG, Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline and a 25.93% noncontrolling partnership interest in Iroquois. In January 2019, Dominion Energy acquired all outstanding partnership interests not owned by Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Midstream became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy. At December 31, 2018, the public’s ownership interest in Dominion Energy Midstream is reflected as noncontrolling interest in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Through December 2018, Dominion Energy managed its daily operations through three primary operating segments: Power Delivery, Power Generation and Gas Infrastructure. Dominion Energy also reports a Corporate and Other segment, which includes its corporate, service company and other functions (including unallocated debt). In addition, Corporate and Other includes specific items attributable to Dominion Energy’s operating segments that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segments’ performance or in allocating resources. Subsequent to the SCANA Combination, Dominion Energy manages the operations of SCANA through an additional operating segment, Southeast Energy. Virginia Power manages its daily operations through two primary operating segments: Power Delivery and Power Generation. It also reports a Corporate and Other segment that primarily includes specific items attributable to its operating segments that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segments’ performance or in allocating resources. Dominion Energy Gas manages its daily operations through one primary operating segment: Gas Infrastructure. It also reports a Corporate and Other segment that primarily includes specific items attributable to its operating segment that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segment’s performance or in allocating resources and the effect of certain items recorded at Dominion Energy Gas as a result of Dominion Energy’s basis in the net assets contributed. See Note 25 for further discussion of the Companies’ operating segments. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | N OTE IGNIFICANT CCOUNTING OLICIES General The Companies make certain estimates and assumptions in preparing their Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses and cash flows for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Companies’ Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, their accounts, those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly-owned non-Dominion The Companies report certain contracts, instruments and investments at fair value. See Note 6 for further information on fair value measurements. The Companies consider acquisitions or dispositions in which substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated into a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to be an acquisition or a disposition of an asset, rather than a business. See Notes 3 and 10 for further information on such transactions. Dominion Energy maintains pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas participate in certain of these plans. See Note 21 for further information on these plans. Certain amounts in the Companies’ 2017 and 2016 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation for comparative purposes; however, such reclassifications did not affect the Companies’ net income, total assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows. Amounts disclosed for Dominion Energy are inclusive of Virginia Power and/or Dominion Energy Gas, where applicable. Operating Revenue Operating revenue is recorded on the basis of services rendered, commodities delivered or contracts settled and includes amounts yet to be billed to customers. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power collect sales, consumption and consumer utility taxes and Dominion Energy Gas collects sales taxes; however, these amounts are excluded from revenue. Dominion Energy’s customer receivables at December 31, 2018 and 2017 included $626 million and $661 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of electricity and natural gas delivered but not yet billed to its utility customers. Virginia Power’s customer receivables at December 31, 2018 and 2017 included $392 million and $400 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of electricity delivered but not yet billed to its customers. Dominion Energy Gas’ customer receivables at December 31, 2018 and 2017 included $131 million and $121 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of natural gas delivered but not yet billed to its customers. See Note 24 for amounts attributable to related parties. The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: R EVENUE FROM ONTRACTS WITH USTOMERS • Regulated electric sales • Nonregulated electric sales • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Regulated gas transportation and storage sales • Nonregulated gas transportation and storage sales • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue O THER EVENUE • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated electric sales • Nonregulated electric sales • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Gas transportation and storage sales • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Virginia Power, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: R EVENUE FROM ONTRACTS WITH USTOMERS • Regulated electric sales • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue non-jurisdictional O THER EVENUE • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Virginia Power, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated electric sales • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy Gas, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: R EVENUE FROM ONTRACTS WITH USTOMERS • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Regulated gas transportation and storage sales • NGL revenue • Management service revenue • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue O THER EVENUE • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy Gas, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Gas transportation and storage sales • NGL revenue • Other revenue Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record refunds to customers as required by state commissions as a reduction to regulated electric sales or regulated gas sales, as applicable. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s revenue accounted for under the alternative revenue program guidance primarily consists of the equity return for under-recovery of certain riders. Alternative revenue programs compensate Dominion Energy and Virginia Power for certain projects and initiatives. Revenues arising from these programs are presented separately from revenue arising from contracts with customers in the categories above. Revenues from electric and gas sales are recognized over time, as the customers of the Companies consume gas and electricity as it is delivered. Transportation and storage contracts are primarily stand-ready service contracts that include fixed reservation and variable usage fees. LNG terminalling services are also stand-ready service contracts, primarily consisting of fixed fees, offset by service credits associated with the start-up Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas typically receive or retain NGLs and natural gas from customers when providing natural gas processing, transportation or storage services. The revised guidance for revenue from contracts with customers requires entities to include the fair value of the noncash consideration in the transaction price. Therefore, subsequent to the adoption of the revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas record the fair value of NGLs received during natural gas processing as service revenue recognized over time, and continue to recognize revenue from the subsequent sale of the NGLs to customers upon delivery. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas typically retain natural gas under certain transportation service arrangements that are intended to facilitate performance of the service and allow for natural losses that occur. As the intent of the allowance is to enable fulfillment of the contract rather than to provide compensation for services, the fuel allowance is not included in revenue. Electric Fuel, Purchased Energy and Purchased Gas-Deferred Where permitted by regulatory authorities, the differences between Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s actual electric fuel and purchased energy expenses and Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ purchased gas expenses and the related levels of recovery for these expenses in current rates are deferred and matched against recoveries in future periods. The deferral of costs in excess of current period fuel rate recovery is recognized as a regulatory asset, while rate recovery in excess of current period fuel expenses is recognized as a regulatory liability. Of the cost of fuel used in electric generation and energy purchases to serve utility customers, at December 31, 2018, approximately 84% is subject to deferred fuel accounting, while substantially all of the remaining amount is subject to recovery through similar mechanisms. Virtually all of Dominion Energy Gas, Cove Point, Questar Gas, Hope and SCE&G and PSNC’s, following the SCANA Combination, natural gas purchases are either subject to deferral accounting or are recovered from the customer in the same accounting period as the sale. Income Taxes A consolidated federal income tax return is filed for Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ subsidiaries. In addition, where applicable, combined income tax returns for Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries are filed in various states; otherwise, separate state income tax returns are filed. Although Dominion Energy Gas is disregarded for income tax purposes, a provision for income taxes is recognized to reflect the inclusion of its business activities in the tax returns of its parent, Dominion Energy. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas participate in intercompany tax sharing agreements with Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries. Current income taxes are based on taxable income or loss and credits determined on a separate company basis. Under the agreements, if a subsidiary incurs a tax loss or earns a credit, recognition of current income tax benefits is limited to refunds of prior year taxes obtained by the carryback of the net operating loss or credit or to the extent the tax loss or credit is absorbed by the taxable income of other Dominion Energy consolidated group members. Otherwise, the net operating loss or credit is carried forward and is recognized as a deferred tax asset until realized. The 2017 Tax Reform Act included a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting the Companies, including changes in corporate tax rates and business deductions. The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduces the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are realized or settled. Thus, at the date of enactment, federal deferred taxes were remeasured based upon the new 21% tax rate. The total effect of tax rate changes on deferred tax balances was recorded as a component of the income tax provision related to continuing operations for the period in which the law is enacted, even if the assets and liabilities relate to other components of the financial statements, such as items of accumulated other comprehensive income. For Dominion Energy subsidiaries that are not rate-regulated utilities, existing deferred income tax assets or liabilities were adjusted for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate and allocated to continuing operations. Dominion Energy’s rate-regulated utility subsidiaries likewise were required to adjust deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the change in income tax rates. However, if it is probable that the effect of the change in income tax rates will be recovered or refunded in future rates, the regulated utility recorded a regulatory asset or liability instead of an increase or decrease to deferred income tax expense. Accounting for income taxes involves an asset and liability approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided, representing future effects on income taxes for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Accordingly, deferred taxes are recognized for the future consequences of different treatments used for the reporting of transactions in financial accounting and income tax returns. The Companies establish a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not The Companies recognize positions taken, or expected to be taken, in income tax returns that are more-likely-than-not If it is not more-likely-than-not The Companies recognize interest on underpayments and overpayments of income taxes in interest expense and other income, respectively. Penalties are also recognized in other income. Interest for the Companies was immaterial in 2018 and 2016. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power both recognized interest income of $11 million in 2017. Dominion Energy Gas’ interest was immaterial in 2017. Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ penalties were immaterial in 2018, 2017 and 2016. At December 31, 2018, Virginia Power had an income tax-related In addition, Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 included $13 million of state income taxes receivable. State income taxes receivable at Virginia Power were immaterial at December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2017, Virginia Power had an income tax-related In addition, Virginia Power’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017 included $1 million of noncurrent federal income taxes receivable, less than $1 million of state income taxes receivable and $1 million of noncurrent state income taxes receivable. Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017 included $14 million of state income taxes receivable. Investment tax credits are recognized by nonregulated operations in the year qualifying property is placed in service. For regulated operations, investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the service lives of the properties giving rise to the credits. Production tax credits are recognized as energy is generated and sold. Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents Cash, restricted cash and equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and temporary investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Current banking arrangements generally do not require checks to be funded until they are presented for payment. The following table illustrates the checks outstanding but not yet presented for payment and recorded in accounts payable for the Companies: At December 31, 2018 2017 (millions) Dominion Energy $ 35 $ 30 Virginia Power 16 17 Dominion Energy Gas 7 7 R ESTRICTED ASH AND QUIVALENTS The Companies hold restricted cash and equivalent balances that primarily consist of amounts held for customer deposits, future debt payments on SBL Holdco and Dominion Solar Projects III, Inc.’s term loan agreements and on Eagle Solar’s senior note agreement. The following table provides a reconciliation of the total cash, restricted cash and equivalents reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets to the corresponding amounts reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016: Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents at December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, (millions) Dominion Energy Cash and cash equivalents $ 268 $ 120 $ 261 $ 607 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 123 65 61 25 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 391 $ 185 $ 322 $ 632 Virginia Power Cash and cash equivalents $ 29 $ 14 $ 11 $ 18 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 9 10 — — Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 38 $ 24 $ 11 $ 18 Dominion Energy Gas Cash and cash equivalents $ 10 $ 4 $ 23 $ 13 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 24 26 20 14 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 34 $ 30 $ 43 $ 27 (1) Restricted cash and equivalent balances are presented within other current assets in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. D ISTRIBUTIONS FROM QUITY ETHOD NVESTEES Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas each hold investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas classify distributions from equity method investees as either cash flows from operating activities or cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows according to the nature of the distribution. Distributions received are classified on the basis of the nature of the activity of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as cash flows from operating activities) or a return of an investment (classified as cash flows from investing activities) when such information is available to Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas. Derivative Instruments The Companies are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products they market and purchase, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of their business operations. Dominion Energy uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage the commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of its business operations. Virginia Power uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage commodity and interest rate risks. Dominion Energy Gas uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures and swaps to manage commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks. All derivatives, except those for which an exception applies, are required to be reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Derivative contracts representing unrealized gain positions and purchased options are reported as derivative assets. Derivative contracts representing unrealized losses and options sold are reported as derivative liabilities. One of the exceptions to fair value accounting, normal purchases and normal sales, may be elected when the contract satisfies certain criteria, including a requirement that physical delivery of the underlying commodity is probable. Expenses and revenues resulting from deliveries under normal purchase contracts and normal sales contracts, respectively, are included in earnings at the time of contract performance. The Companies do not offset amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. Dominion Energy had margin assets of $95 million and $92 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dominion Energy’s margin liabilities associated with cash collateral were less than $1 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017. Virginia Power had margin assets of $23 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2017. Virginia Power had no margin assets associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and no margin liabilities associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and 2017. Dominion Energy Gas had no margin assets or liabilities associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and 2017. See Note 7 for further information about derivatives. To manage price risk, the Companies hold certain derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. However, to the extent the Companies do not hold offsetting positions for such derivatives, they believe these instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate their exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. All income statement activity, including amounts realized upon settlement, is presented in operating revenue, operating expenses, interest and related charges or other income based on the nature of the underlying risk. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments result in the recognition of regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities for jurisdictions subject to cost-based rate regulation. Realized gains or losses on the derivative instruments are generally recognized when the related transactions impact earnings. D ERIVATIVE NSTRUMENTS ESIGNATED AS EDGING NSTRUMENTS In accordance with accounting guidance pertaining to derivatives and hedge accounting, the Companies designate a portion of their derivative instruments as either cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges, the cash flows from the derivatives and from the related hedged items are classified in operating cash flows. Cash Flow Hedges Dominion Energy entered into interest rate derivative instruments to hedge its forecasted interest payments related to planned debt issuances in 2014. These interest rate derivatives were designated by Dominion Energy as cash flow hedges prior to the formation of Dominion Energy Gas. For the purposes of the Dominion Energy Gas financial statements, the derivative balances, AOCI balance, and any income statement impact related to these interest rate derivative instruments entered into by Dominion Energy have been, and will continue to be, included in the Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Financial Statements as the forecasted interest payments related to the debt issuances now occur at Dominion Energy Gas. Fair Value Hedges Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at lower of original cost or fair value, if impaired. Capitalized costs include labor, materials and other direct and indirect costs such as asset retirement costs, capitalized interest and, for certain operations subject to cost-of-service In 2018, 2017 and 2016, Dominion Energy capitalized interest costs and AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $134 million, $236 million and $159 million, respectively. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, Virginia Power capitalized AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $56 million, $37 million and $21 million, respectively. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, Dominion Energy Gas capitalized AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $18 million, $25 million and $8 million, respectively. Under Virginia law, certain Virginia jurisdictional projects qualify for current recovery of AFUDC through rate adjustment clauses. AFUDC on these projects is calculated and recorded as a regulatory asset and is not capitalized to property, plant and equipment. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, Virginia Power recorded $4 million, $22 million and $31 million of AFUDC related to these projects, respectively. For property subject to cost-of-service cost-of-service plant-in-service after-tax) For property that is not subject to cost-of-service Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed on the straight-line method based on projected service lives. The Companies’ average composite depreciation rates on utility property, plant and equipment are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 (percent) Dominion Energy Generation 2.71 2.94 2.83 Transmission 2.54 2.55 2.47 Distribution 2.97 3.00 3.02 Storage 2.40 2.48 2.29 Gas gathering and processing 2.62 2.21 2.66 General and other 4.56 4.89 4.12 Virginia Power Generation 2.71 2.94 2.83 Transmission 2.52 2.54 2.36 Distribution 3.31 3.32 3.32 General and other 4.52 4.68 3.49 Dominion Energy Gas Transmission 2.45 2.40 2.43 Distribution 2.41 2.42 2.55 Storage 2.46 2.45 2.19 Gas gathering and processing 3.07 2.42 2.58 General and other 5.59 4.96 4.54 In the second quarter of 2018, Virginia Power recorded an adjustment for the retroactive application of depreciation rates for regulated nuclear plants to comply with Virginia Commission requirements. This adjustment resulted in a decrease of $60 million ($44 million after-tax) after-tax). In the first quarter of 2017, Virginia Power revised the depreciation rates for its assets to reflect the results of a new depreciation study. This change resulted in an increase in annual depreciation expense of $40 million ($25 million after-tax) after-tax) Capitalized costs of development wells and leaseholds are amortized on a field-by-field unit-of-production Dominion Energy’s nonutility property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Asset Estimated Useful Lives Merchant generation-nuclear 44 years Merchant generation-other 15-30 years Nonutility gas gathering and processing 3-50 LNG facility 40 years General and other 5-59 Depreciation and amortization related to Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ nonutility property, plant and equipment and exploration and production properties was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, except for Dominion Energy Gas’ nonutility gas gathering and processing properties which are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives between 10 and 50 years. Nuclear fuel used in electric generation is amortized over its estimated service life on a units-of-production Long-Lived and Intangible Assets The Companies perform an evaluation for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets or intangible assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. A long-lived or intangible asset is written down to fair value if the sum of its expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than its carrying amount. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. See Note 6 for further discussion on the impairment of long-lived assets. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities The accounting for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ regulated gas and Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s regulated electric operations differs from the accounting for nonregulated operations in that they are required to reflect the effect of rate regulation in their Consolidated Financial Statements. For regulated businesses subject to federal or state cost-of-service The Companies evaluate whether or not recovery of their regulatory assets through future rates is probable and make various assumptions in their analyses. The expectations of future recovery are generally based on orders issued by regulatory commissions, legislation or historical experience, as well as discussions with applicable regulatory authorities and legal counsel. If recovery of a regulatory asset is determined to be less than probable, it will be written off in the period such assessment is made. Asset Retirement Obligations The Companies recognize AROs at fair value as incurred or when sufficient information becomes available to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value of future retirement activities to be performed, for which a legal obligation exists. These amounts are generally capitalized as costs of the related tangible long-lived assets. Since relevant market information is not available, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. Quarterly, the Companies assess their AROs to determine if circumstances indicate that estimates of the amounts or timing of future cash flows associated with retirement activities have changed. AROs are adjusted when significant changes in the amounts or timing of future cash flows are identified. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with their natural gas pipeline and storage well assets as an adjustment to the related regulatory liabilities when revenue is recoverable from customers for AROs. Dominion Energy, following the SCANA Combination, and Virginia Power report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with decommissioning its nuclear power stations as an adjustment to the regulatory liability for certain jurisdictions. Additionally, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with certain rider and prospective rider projects as an adjustment to the regulatory asset for certain jurisdictions. Accretion of all other AROs and depreciation of all other asset retirement costs are reported in other operations and maintenance expense and depreciation expense, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Debt Issuance Costs The Companies defer and amortize debt issuance costs and debt premiums or discounts over the expected lives of the respective debt issues, considering maturity dates and, if applicable, redemption rights held by others. Deferred debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction in long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of the issuance costs is reported as interest expense. Unamortized costs associated with redemptions of debt securities prior to stated maturity dates are generally recognized and recorded in interest expense immediately. As permitted by regulatory authorities, gains or losses resulting from the refinancing of debt allocable to utility operations subject to cost-based rate regulation are deferred and amortized. Investments D EBT AND QUITY ECURITIES WITH EADILY ETERMINABLE AIR ALUES Dominion Energy accounts for and classifies investments in debt securities as trading or available-for-sale available-for-sale • Debt securities classified as trading securities • Debt securities classified as available-for-sale available-for-sale after-tax. In determining realized gains and losses for debt securities, the cost basis of the security is based on the specific identification method. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values include securities held by Dominion Energy in rabbi trusts associated with certain deferred compensation plans and securities held by Dominion Energy and Virginia Power in the nuclear decommissioning trusts. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record all equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, or for which they are permitted to estimate fair value using NAV (or its equivalent), at fair value in nuclear decommissioning trust funds and other investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power may elect a measurement alternative for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Under the measurement alternative, equity securities are reported at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power qualitatively assess equity securities reported using the measurement alternative to determine whether an investment is impaired on an ongoing basis. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in Virginia Power’s nuclear decommissioning trusts are recorded to a regulatory liability for certain jurisdictions subject to cost-based regulation. For all other equity securities, including those held in Dominion Energy’s merchant generation nuclear decommissioning trusts and rabbi trusts, net realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. E QUITY ECURITIES WITHOUT EADILY ETERMINABLE AIR ALUES The Companies account for illiquid and privately held securities without readily determinable fair values under either the equity method or cost method. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values include: • Equity method investments • Cost method investments O THER HAN EMPORARY MPAIRMENT The Companies periodically review their investments in debt securities and equity method investments to determine whether a decline in fair value should be considered other-than-temporary. If a decline in the fair value of any security is determined to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to its fair value at the end of the reporting period. Decommissioning Trust Investments —Special Considerations for Debt Securities • The recognition provisions of other-than-temporary impairment guidance apply only to debt securities classified as available-for-sale held-to-maturity. • Using information obtained from their nuclear decommissioning trust fixed-income investment managers, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record in earnings any unrealized loss for a debt security when the manager intends to sell the debt security or it is more-likely-than-not non-performance Inventories Materials and supplies and fossil fuel inventories are valued primarily using the weighted-average cost method. Stored gas inventory is valued using the weighted-average cost method, except for East Ohio gas distribution operations, which are valued using the LIFO method. Under the LI |

Acquisitions And Dispositions | N OTE CQUISITIONS ND ISPOSITIONS D OMINION NERGY Acquisition of SCANA In January 2019, Dominion Energy issued 95.6 million shares of Dominion Energy common stock, valued at $6.8 billion, representing 0.6690 of a share of Dominion Energy common stock for each share of SCANA common stock, in connection with the completion of the SCANA Combination. SCANA, through its regulated subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in the central, southern, and southwestern portions of South Carolina and in the distribution of natural gas in North Carolina and South Carolina. In addition, SCANA markets natural gas to retail customers in the southeast U.S. Following completion of the SCANA Combination, SCANA operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy. In addition, SCANA’s outstanding debt totaled $6.9 billion at closing. The SCANA Combination expands Dominion Energy’s portfolio of regulated electric generation, transmission and distribution and regulated natural gas distribution infrastructure and operations. M ERGER PPROVAL AND ONDITIONS Merger Approval The SCANA Combination required approval of SCANA’s shareholders, FERC, the North Carolina Commission, the South Carolina Commission, the Georgia Public Service Commission and the NRC and clearance from the Federal Trade Commission under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. All such approvals were received prior to closing of the SCANA Combination. Various parties filed petitions for rehearing or reconsideration of the SCANA Merger Approval Order. In January 2019, the South Carolina Commission issued a directive (1) granting the request of various parties and finding that SCE&G was imprudent in its actions by not disclosing material information to the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff and the South Carolina Commission with regard to costs incurred subsequent to March 2015 and (2) denying the petitions for rehearing or consideration as to other issues raised in the various petitions. The SCANA Merger Approval Order and the order on rehearing are subject to appeal by various parties. Refunds to Customers As a condition to the SCANA Merger Approval Order, SCE&G will provide refunds and restitution of $2.0 billion over 20 years with capital support from Dominion Energy. In September and October 2017, SCE&G received proceeds from Toshiba Corporation totaling $1.1 billion in full satisfaction of its share of a settlement agreement between SCE&G, Santee Cooper and Toshiba Corporation in connection with Westinghouse and WECTEC, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Toshiba Corporation and responsible for the engineering and construction of the NND Project, filing for bankruptcy. The purchase price allocation below includes a previously established regulatory liability at SCE&G totaling $1.1 billion associated with the monetization of the bankruptcy settlement with Toshiba Corporation. In accordance with the terms of the SCANA Merger Approval Order, this regulatory liability, net of amounts that may be required to satisfy any liens against NND Project property totaling $1.0 billion, will be refunded to SCE&G electric service customers over a 20-year Additionally, SCE&G will reflect in the first quarter of 2019 a reduction in operating revenue and a corresponding regulatory liability of $1.0 billion of which approximately $140 million will be considered current, representing a refund of amounts previously collected from retail electric customers of SCE&G for the NND Project to be credited over an estimated 11-year NND Project As a condition to the SCANA Merger Approval Order, SCE&G will exclude from rate recovery $2.4 billion of costs related to the NND Project and $180 million of costs associated with the purchase of the Columbia Energy Center power station. Regulatory assets included in SCANA’s historical balance sheet at December 31, 2018 reflected these disallowances. The remaining regulatory asset associated with the NND Project of $2.8 billion will be collected over a 20-year period, including a return on investment. In January 2019, SCE&G filed the NND Project rider in accordance with the terms of the SCANA Merger Approval Order for rates effective in February 2019 for SCE&G’s retail electric customers. The South Carolina Commission approved this filing in January 2019. Other Terms and Conditions • SCE&G will not file an application for a general rate case with the South Carolina Commission with a requested effective date earlier than January 2021; • PSNC will not file an application for a general rate case with the North Carolina Commission with a requested effective date earlier than April 2021; • Dominion Energy has committed to increasing SCANA’s historical level of corporate contributions to charities by $1 million per year over the next five years; • Dominion Energy will maintain SCE&G and PSNC’s headquarters in Cayce, South Carolina and Gastonia, North Carolina, respectively; and • Dominion Energy will seek to minimize reductions in local employment by allowing some DES employees supporting shared and common services functions and activities to be located in Cayce, South Carolina where it makes economic and practical sense to do so. P URCHASE RICE LLOCATION SCANA’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be measured at estimated fair value at closing and will be included in the Southeast Energy operating segment, which was established following the closing of the SCANA Combination. The majority of the operations acquired are subject to the rate setting authority of FERC and the North and South Carolina Commissions and are therefore accounted for pursuant to ASC 980, Regulated Operations The fair value of SCANA’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are not subject to the rate-setting provisions discussed above and the fair values of SCANA’s investments accounted for under the equity method will be determined using the income approach and the market approach. The valuation of SCANA’s long-term debt is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. All other valuations will be considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant judgmental and unobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future market prices. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be reflected as goodwill in the first quarter of 2019. The goodwill reflects the value associated with enhancing Dominion Energy’s portfolio of regulated operations in the growing southeast region of the U.S. The goodwill to be recognized will not be deductible for income tax purposes, and as such, no deferred taxes will be recorded related to goodwill. The table below shows the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at closing to be reflected in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in the first quarter of 2019. The allocation is subject to change during the measurement period as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at closing. The allocation of the purchase price excludes certain contracts and intangible assets related to nonregulated operations, including SEMI, equity method investments and certain income tax-related Amount (millions) Total current assets $ 1,756 Investments 213 Property, plant and equipment, net 10,982 Goodwill 2,438 Regulatory assets 4,219 Other deferred charges and other assets, including intangible assets 314 Total Assets 19,922 Total current liabilities 1,506 Long-term debt 6,707 Deferred income taxes 1,097 Regulatory liabilities 2,664 Other deferred credits and other liabilities 1,109 Total Liabilities 13,083 Total purchase price $ 6,839 I NFORMATION ON SSETS AND IABILITIES CQUIRED Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents The total current assets line above includes $389 million of cash, restricted cash and equivalents, of which $115 million is considered restricted, acquired by Dominion Energy in connection with the SCANA Combination. Investments Investments acquired in connection with the SCANA Combination include $20 million pertaining to certain investments accounted for under the equity method, at carrying value. Dominion Energy is still assessing the fair value of these investments. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes include a deferred tax asset recorded on a federal net operating loss carryforward of $1.8 billion and a state net operating loss carryforward of $2.4 billion. Based on the available evidence, Dominion Energy believes it is more likely than not that the benefit of the federal net operating loss will be utilized during the carryforward period, and therefore no valuation allowance has been established. Dominion Energy is still assessing whether a valuation allowance is required on the state net operating loss carryforward. Deferred income taxes also include unrecognized tax benefits of $106 million, which could increase as Dominion Energy continues and completes its evaluation of positions taken on SCANA’s federal and state income tax returns. Property, Plant and Equipment At the date of the SCANA Combination, major classes of property, plant and equipment and their respective balances for SCANA are as follows: 2018 (millions) Utility: Generation $ 5,720 Transmission 2,416 Distribution 6,044 Storage 99 Nuclear fuel 611 General and other 631 Plant under construction 527 Total utility 16,048 Nonutility, including plant under construction 283 Total property, plant and equipment $ 16,331 In connection with the SCANA Combination, Dominion Energy intends to forego recovery of approximately $105 million of certain assets for which it expects to recognize a $79 million after-tax charge in the first quarter of 2019. Regulated property will be depreciated on a straight-line basis based on projected service lives. Actual average composite depreciation rates for SCANA’s utility property, plant and equipment were as follows: 2018 (millions) Generation 2.61 % Transmission 2.47 Distribution 2.48 Storage 2.48 General and other 5.64 Nonregulated property, plant and equipment, excluding land, will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives of such property, primarily ranging from 5 to 78 years. SCE&G jointly owns and is the operator of Summer. At December 31, 2018, and subsequent to the SCANA Combination, SCE&G had a 66.7% ownership interest in Summer, of which its proportionate share of plant in service, accumulated depreciation and plant under construction was $1.5 billion, $644 million and $128 million, respectively. The co-owners Regulatory Assets In addition to the items discussed above related to the NND Project, Dominion Energy intends to forego recovery of approximately $190 million of regulatory assets related to certain deferred income taxes for which it expects to recognize a $145 million after-tax charge in the first quarter of 2019. Intangible Assets Other current assets presented in the table above include intangible assets subject to regulatory recovery with a gross carrying value of $281 million and related accumulated amortization of $181 million. Such intangible assets have an estimated weighted-average amortization period of approximately five years. Annual amortization expense for these intangible assets is estimated to be as follows: 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 (millions) SCANA $ 95 $ 90 $ 80 $ 74 $ 71 Asset Retirement Obligations The purchase price allocation above includes $577 million of AROs, of which $23 million is considered to be a current liability. These AROs are associated with SCANA’s legal obligation to decommission Summer, as well as conditional obligations related to generation, transmission and distribution properties, including gas pipelines. Short-Term and Long-Term Debt At closing of the SCANA Combination, commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding, as well as capacity available under SCANA’s existing credit facilities were as follows: SCANA Corporation SCE&G PSNC Total (millions, except percentages) Total facility limit $ 400 $ 1,200 (1) $ 200 $ 1,800 Letters of credit advances 40 (2) — — 40 Weighted-average interest rate 3.87 % n/a n/a 3.87 % Outstanding commercial paper 2 73 98 173 Weighted-average interest rate 3.65 % 3.82 % 3.49 % 3.63 % Outstanding letters of credit 37 — — 37 Facility capacity available $ 321 $ 1,127 $ 102 $ 1,550 (1) Includes South Carolina Fuel Company, Inc.’s $500 million credit facility. (2) In January 2019, SCANA repaid $40 million in letter of credit advances. In connection with the SCANA Combination, Dominion Energy intends to terminate SCANA, SCE&G and PSNC’s existing credit facilities, scheduled to expire in December 2020, and add SCE&G as a co-borrower co-borrowers, At closing of the SCANA Combination, SCANA had the following long-term debt outstanding which is part of the total consideration provided for the transaction. Weighted- average Coupon (1) Amount (millions, except percentages) Unsecured medium term notes, due 2020 to 2022 5.42 % $ 800 Unsecured senior notes, due 2019 to 2034 3.44 70 First mortgage bonds, due 2021 to 2065 5.52 4,990 GENCO notes, due 2019 to 2024 5.49 40 Industrial and pollution control bonds, due 2028 to 2038 (2) 3.52 122 PSNC senior debentures and notes, due 2020 to 2047 5.07 700 Other, due 2019 to 2027 3.46 73 Total principal $ 6,795 Current maturities of long-term debt (59 ) Unamortized discount, premium and debt issuance costs, net (29 ) SCANA total long-term debt $ 6,707 (1) Represents weighted-average coupon rates for debt outstanding at closing of the SCANA Combination.

Based on stated maturity dates rather than early redemption dates that could be elected by instrument holders, the scheduled principal payments of long-term debt at closing of the SCANA Combination, were as follows: 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Thereafter Total (millions, except Unsecured senior notes $ 4 $ 4 $ 4 $ 4 $ 4 $ 50 $ 70 Unsecured medium term notes — 250 300 250 — — 800 First mortgage bonds — — 330 — — 4,660 4,990 PSNC senior debentures and notes — 100 150 — — 450 700 GENCO notes 7 7 7 7 7 5 40 Industrial and pollution control bonds — — — — — 122 122 Other 48 7 6 5 3 4 73 Total $ 59 $ 368 $ 797 $ 266 $ 14 $ 5,291 $ 6,795 Weighted-average coupon 3.91 % 6.26 % 4.20 % 5.22 % 3.29 % 5.51 % 5.36 % In February 2019, SCANA launched a tender offer for certain of its medium term notes having an aggregate purchase price of up to $300 million that expires in March 2019. Also in February 2019, SCE&G launched a tender offer for any and all of certain of its first mortgage bonds pursuant to which it purchased first mortgage bonds having an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 billion. SCE&G simultaneously launched a tender offer that expires in March 2019 for certain other of its first mortgage bonds having an aggregate purchase price equal to $1.2 billion less the aggregate purchase price paid in the any and all tender offer. Preferred Stock At the closing of the SCANA Combination, authorized shares of SCE&G preferred stock were 20 million, of which 1,000 shares, no par value, were held by SCANA. R EGULATORY ATTERS AND ROCEEDINGS Base Load Review Act In 2016, the South Carolina Commission approved revised rates under the Base Load Review Act allowing the incorporation of financing costs associated with SCE&G’s incremental construction work in progress incurred for the NND Project and setting an allowed ROE of 10.5%. In July 2018, the South Carolina Commission issued orders implementing a June 2018 legislatively-mandated temporary reduction in revenues that could be collected by SCE&G from its electric utility customers under the Base Load Review Act and altering certain provisions previously applicable under the Base Load Review Act, including redefining the standard of care required by the associated regulations and supplying definitions of key terms that would affect the evidence required to establish SCE&G’s ability to recover its costs associated with the NND Project. These orders reduced the portion of SCE&G’s retail electric rates associated with the NND Project from approximately 18% of the average residential electric customer’s bill, which equates to a reduction in revenues of approximately $31 million per month, retroactive to April 2018. These lower rates remained in effect until February 2019, when the new rates pursuant to the SCANA Merger Approval Order became effective. In June 2018, SCE&G filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina challenging the constitutionality of the rate reductions under the Base Load Review Act. In the lawsuit, which was subsequently amended, SCE&G sought a declaration that the new laws are unconstitutional. In January 2019, SCE&G voluntarily dismissed this lawsuit. 2017 Tax Reform Act In connection with the SCANA Merger Approval Order, the South Carolina Commission approved SCE&G’s provision of approximately $100 million in bill credits related to the 2017 Tax Reform Act’s impact on retail electric customer rates for the period beginning January 2018 through January 2019. These credits have been included in bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle of February 2019. In addition, the South Carolina Commission approved a tax rider whereby the effects of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform Act will benefit retail electric customers. This tax rider is expected to reduce base rates to retail electric customers by approximately $67 million in each of 2019 and 2020, effective with the first billing cycle of February 2019. In October 2018, the South Carolina Commission issued an order approving adjustment to SCE&G’s natural gas rate schedules, under the terms of the Natural Gas Rate Stabilization Act, to reflect the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate arising from the 2017 Tax Reform Act. The approved natural gas rate schedules also included a tax reform rate rider to refund certain income tax amounts previously collected from customers. These lower rates, representing a $20 million decreased revenue requirement, became effective for bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle in November 2018. In December 2018, the North Carolina Commission issued an order approving PSNC’s proposed adjustments to customer rates, representing a $13 million decreased revenue requirement, to reflect the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate arising from the 2017 Tax Reform Act. These lower rates became effective for service rendered on and after January 1, 2019. Amounts collected in customer rates during 2018 and amounts arising from excess deferred income taxes have been recorded in regulatory liabilities and must be considered in PSNC’s next general rate case proceeding or in three years, whichever is sooner. The reduction in the federal corporate tax rate and its impact on PSNC’s various rate riders will be addressed in future proceedings related to those riders. DSM Programs SCE&G has approval for a DSM rider through which it recovers expenditures related to its DSM programs. In January 2019, SCE&G filed an application with the South Carolina Commission seeking approval to recover $30 million of costs and net lost revenues associated with these programs, along with an incentive to invest in such programs. This matter is pending. L EGAL ROCEEDINGS The following describes certain legal proceedings to which SCANA or SCE&G were a party to at closing of the SCANA Combination. Dominion Energy intends to vigorously contest the lawsuits, claims and assessments which have been filed or initiated against SCANA and SCE&G. 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. Due to the uncertainty surrounding these matters, Dominion Energy is unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts; however, they could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Ratepayer Class Actions In May 2018, a consolidated complaint against SCE&G, SCANA, and the State of South Carolina was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the SCE&G Ratepayer Case). In September 2018, the court certified this case as a class action. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that SCE&G 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 SCE&G committed unfair trade practices and violated state anti-trust laws. The plaintiffs sought a declaratory judgment that SCE&G may not charge its customers for any past or continuing costs of the NND Project, sought to have SCANA and SCE&G’s assets frozen and all monies recovered from Toshiba Corporation and other sources be placed in a constructive trust for the benefit of ratepayers and sought specific performance of the alleged implied contract to construct the NND Project. In December 2018, the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County entered an order granting preliminary approval of a class action settlement and a stay of pre-trial In September 2017, a purported class action was filed against Santee Cooper, SCE&G, Palmetto Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Central Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case). The allegations are substantially similar to those in the SCE&G Ratepayer Case. The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that the defendants may not charge the purported class for reimbursement for past or future costs of the NND Project. In March 2018, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint including as additional named defendants, including certain then current and former directors of Santee Cooper and SCANA. In June 2018, Santee Cooper filed a Notice of Petition for Original Jurisdiction with the Supreme Court of South Carolina. In December 2018, Santee Cooper filed its answer to the plaintiffs’ fourth amended complaint and filed cross claims against SCE&G. This case is pending. Dominion Energy cannot currently estimate the financial statement impacts of this matter, but there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. RICO Class Action In January 2018, a purported class action was filed, and subsequently amended, against SCANA, SCE&G and certain former executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that SCANA, SCE&G and the individual defendants participated in an unlawful racketeering enterprise in violation of RICO and conspired to violate RICO by fraudulently inflating utility bills to generate unlawful proceeds. The SCE&G Ratepayer Class Action settlement described previously contemplates dismissal of claims by SCE&G ratepayers in this case against SCE&G, SCANA and their officers. This case is pending. Dominion Energy cannot currently estimate the financial statement impacts of this matter, but there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. State Court Shareholder Actions In September 2017, a purported shareholder derivative action was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina. In September 2018, this action was consolidated with another action in the Business Court Pilot Program in Richland County. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, and that the defendants were unjustly enriched by bonuses they were paid in connection with the project. The defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated action in favor of the pending federal derivative action. This case is pending. Dominion Energy cannot currently estimate the financial statement impacts of this matter, but there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. In January 2018, a purported class action was filed against SCANA, Dominion Energy and certain former executive officers and directors in the State Court of Common Pleas in Lexington County, South Carolina (the City of Warren Lawsuit). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that defendants violated their fiduciary duties to shareholders by executing a merger agreement that would unfairly deprive plaintiffs of the true value of their SCANA stock, and that Dominion Energy aided and abetted these actions. Among other remedies, the plaintiff seeks to enjoin and/or rescind the merger. In February 2018, Dominion Energy removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, and filed a Motion to Dismiss in March 2018. In June 2018, the case was remanded back to the State Court of Common Pleas in Lexington County. Dominion Energy appealed the decision to remand to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, where the appeal has been consolidated with a similar appeal and remains pending. In October 2018, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted Dominion Energy’s motion to stay pending appeal. This case is pending. Dominion Energy cannot currently estimate the financial statement impacts of this matter, but there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. In February 2018, a purported class action was filed against certain former directors of SCANA and SCE&G and Dominion Energy in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina. The allegations made and the relief sought by the plaintiffs are substantially similar to that described for the City of Warren Lawsuit. In February 2018, Dominion Energy removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, and filed a Motion to Dismiss in March 2018. In August 2018, the case was remanded back to the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County. Dominion Energy appealed the decision to remand to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, where the appeal has been consolidated with the City of Warren Lawsuit. This case is pending. Dominion Energy cannot currently estimate the financial statement impacts of this matter, but there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Federal Court Shareholder Action In November 2017, a purported shareholder derivative action was filed against SCANA and certain former executive officers and directors in the U.S. District Court of the District of South Carolina. Another purported shareholder derivative action was filed against nearly all of these defendants. In January 2018, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina consolidated these suits, and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants violated their fiduciary duties to shareholders by disseminating false and misleading information about the NND Project, failing to maintain proper internal controls, failing to properly oversee and manage SCANA and that the individual defendants were unjustly enriched in their compensation. In June 2018, the court denied the defendants’ motions to dismiss and in October 2018, the court denied SCANA’s motion to stay all proceedings pending investigation by a Special Litigation Committee, with leave to refile after the SCANA Merger Approval Order was issued. The plaintiffs have agreed to a stay of this action on the condition that defendants file a motion for judgment on the pleadings, which was filed in January 2019. This case is pending. Dominion Energy cannot currently estimate the financial statement impacts of this matter, but there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Federal Court 10b-5 In September 2017, a purported class action was filed against SCANA and certain former executive officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. Subsequent additional purported class actions were separately filed against all or nearly all of these defendants. In January 2018, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina consolidated these suits, and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint in March 2018. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants violated §10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 Employment Class Action and Indemnification In July 2018, a case filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina was certified as a class action on behalf of persons who were formerly employed at the NND Project. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that SCANA, 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, which is estimated to be as much as $75 million. SCE&G as co-owner of the NND project would have a 55% proportional share in the ultimate outcome. The ultimate loss could rise due to the Fluor defendants seeking indemnification from SCE&G. 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 SCE&G and Santee Cooper. The plaintiffs make claims for indemnification, breach of contract and promissory estoppel arising from, among other things, the defendants’ alleged failure and refusal to defend and indemnify the Fluor defendants in the aforementioned case. These cases are pending. FILOT Litigation and Related Matters In November 2017, Fairfield County filed a complaint and a motion for temporary injunction against SCE&G 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 SCE&G’s termination of the FILOT agreement between SCE&G and Fairfield County related to the NND Project. The plaintiff sought a temporary and permanent injunction to prevent SCE&G from terminating the FILOT agreement. The plaintiff withdrew the motion for temporary injunction in December 2017. Dominion Energy is currently unable to make an estimate of the potential impacts to its consolidated financial statements related to this matter. This case is pending. Governmental Proceedings and Investigations In June 2018, SCE&G received a notice of proposed assessment of approximately $410 million, excluding interest, from the SCDOR following its audit of SCE&G’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 SCE&G’s sales and use tax exemption for the NND Project does not apply because the facility will not become operational. SCE&G has protested the proposed assessment, which remains pending, and recorded an $11 million liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 for its share of any taxes ultimately due. 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 addition, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is conducting a criminal investigation into the handling of the NND Project by SCANA and SCE&G. These matters are pending. SCANA and SCE&G are cooperating fully with the investigations; however, Dominion Energy cannot currently predict whether or to what extent SCANA or SCE&G may incur a material liability. Other In December 2018, arbitration proceedings commenced between SCE&G and Cameco Corporation related to a supply agreement signed in May 2008. This agreement provides the terms and conditions under which SCE&G agreed to purchase uranium h |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | N OTE NCOME AXES Judgment and the use of estimates are required in developing the provision for income taxes and reporting of tax-related tax-related The 2017 Tax Reform Act included a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting the Companies as discussed in Note 2. The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. At the date of enactment, deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured based upon the new 21% enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are realized or settled. The specific provisions related to regulated public utilities in the 2017 Tax Reform Act generally allow for the continued deductibility of interest expense, changed the tax depreciation of certain property acquired after September 27, 2017, and continued certain rate normalization requirements for accelerated depreciation benefits. As indicated in Note 2, certain of the Companies’ operations, including accounting for income taxes, are subject to regulatory accounting treatment. For regulated operations, many of the changes in deferred taxes represent amounts probable of collection from or refund to customers, and were recorded as either an increase to a regulatory asset or liability. The 2017 Tax Reform Act included provisions that stipulate how these excess deferred taxes may be passed back to customers for certain accelerated tax depreciation benefits. Potential refunds of other deferred taxes may be determined by our regulators. See Note 13 for more information. The Companies have accounted for the effects of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, although changes could occur as additional guidance is issued and finalized. In addition, certain states in which the Companies operate may or may not conform to some or all of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Reform Act. Ultimate resolution or clarification of these matters may result in favorable or unfavorable impacts to net income, cash flows, and tax-related Continuing Operations Details of income tax expense for continuing operations including noncontrolling interests were as follows: Dominion Energy Virginia Power Dominion Energy Gas Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 (millions) Current: Federal $ (45 ) $ (1 ) $ (155 ) $ 36 $ 432 $ 168 $ 23 $ 16 $ (27 ) State 108 (26 ) 85 40 73 90 30 8 4 Total current expense (benefit) 63 (27 ) (70 ) 76 505 258 53 24 (23 ) Deferred: Federal 2017 Tax Reform Act impact 46 (851 ) — 21 (93 ) — (11 ) (197 ) — Taxes before operating loss carryforwards and investment tax credits 436 739 1,050 199 319 435 48 199 239 Tax utilization expense (benefit) of operating loss carryforwards 92 174 (161 ) — 4 (2 ) — 5 (2 ) Investment tax credits (56 ) (200 ) (248 ) (51 ) (23 ) (25 ) — — — State (1 ) 132 50 55 59 27 (4 ) 20 1 Total deferred expense (benefit) 517 (6 ) 691 224 266 435 33 27 238 Investment tax credit-gross deferral 2 5 35 2 5 35 — — — Investment tax credit-amortization (2 ) (2 ) (1 ) (2 ) (2 ) (1 ) — — — Total income tax expense (benefit) $ 580 $ (30 ) $ 655 $ 300 $ 774 $ 727 $ 86 $ 51 $ 215 The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduced the statutory federal income tax rate to 21% beginning in January 2018. Accordingly, current income taxes, and deferred income taxes that originate in 2018, are recorded at the new 21% rate. Dominion Energy had less than $1 million of state deferred income tax expense as a result of the reversal of deferred taxes upon the sale of its interest in Blue Racer and Fairless and Manchester. Dominion Energy’s current federal income taxes primarily include the recognition of a $47 million benefit related to a carryback claim for specified liability losses involving prior tax years. The accounting for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate decreased deferred income tax expense by $851 million at Dominion Energy, $93 million at Virginia Power, and $197 million for Dominion Energy Gas for the year ending December 31, 2017. The decrease in deferred income taxes at Dominion Energy primarily relates to the remeasurement of deferred taxes on merchant operations and includes the effects at Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas have certain regulatory assets and liabilities that have not yet been charged or returned to customers through rates, or on which they do not earn a return, including unrecognized pension and other postretirement benefits. The remeasurement of the deferred taxes on these regulatory balances was charged to continuing operations in 2017. For ratemaking purposes, Dominion Energy Gas’ subsidiary DETI follows the cash method on pension contributions. Deferred taxes recorded on pension balances as required by GAAP are not included as a component of rates and therefore the remeasurement of these deferred taxes were charged to continuing operations in 2017. In 2016, Dominion Energy realized a taxable gain resulting from the contribution of Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline to Dominion Energy Midstream. The contribution and related transactions resulted in increases in the tax basis of Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline’s assets and the number of Dominion Energy Midstream’s common and convertible preferred units held by noncontrolling interests. The direct tax effects of the transactions included a provision for current income taxes ($212 million) and an offsetting benefit for deferred income taxes ($96 million) and were charged to common shareholders’ equity. The federal tax liability was reduced by $129 million of tax credits generated in 2016 that otherwise would have resulted in additional credit carryforwards and a $17 million benefit provided by the domestic production activities deduction. These benefits, as indirect effects of the contribution transaction, were reflected in Dominion Energy’s 2016 current federal income tax expense. For continuing operations including noncontrolling interests, the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate reconciles to the Companies’ effective income tax rate as follows: Dominion Energy Virginia Power Dominion Energy Gas Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 U.S. statutory rate 21.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % 21.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % 21.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Increases (reductions) resulting from: State taxes, net of federal benefit 3.0 2.0 2.4 4.7 3.7 3.8 3.2 2.4 0.5 Investment tax credits (1.9 ) (6.3 ) (11.7 ) (3.5 ) (0.8 ) — — — — Production tax credits (0.7 ) (0.7 ) (0.8 ) (0.7 ) (0.4 ) (0.5 ) — — — Valuation allowances 0.3 0.2 1.2 — — 0.1 1.8 0.3 — Reversal of excess deferred income taxes (2.0 ) — — (3.2 ) — — (1.7 ) — — Federal legislative change 1.5 (27.5 ) — 1.3 (4.0 ) — (2.8 ) (29.5 ) — State legislative change (0.6 ) — (0.6 ) — — — 0.2 — — AFUDC—equity (0.8 ) (1.4 ) (0.6 ) (0.5 ) (0.6 ) (0.6 ) (0.6 ) (0.9 ) (0.2 ) Employee stock ownership plan deduction (0.4 ) (0.6 ) (0.6 ) — — — — — — Other, net (0.9 ) (1.7 ) (1.4 ) (0.1 ) 0.6 (0.4 ) 1.2 0.4 0.1 Effective tax rate 18.5 % (1.0 )% 22.9 % 19.0 % 33.5 % 37.4 % 22.3 % 7.7 % 35.4 % For the Companies’ rate-regulated entities, deferred taxes will reverse at the weighted average rate used to originate the deferred tax liability, which in some cases will be 35%. The Companies have recorded an estimate of the portion of excess deferred income tax amortization in 2018, and changes in estimates of amounts probable of collection from or return to customers. The reversal of these excess deferred income taxes will impact the effective tax rate, and may ultimately impact rates charged to customers. As described in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Companies decreased revenue and increased regulatory liabilities to offset these deferred tax impacts in accordance with applicable regulatory commission orders or formula rate mechanisms. In 2018, the Companies applied the provisions of recently proposed regulations addressing the availability of federal bonus depreciation for the period beginning after September 27, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The application of these changes increased Dominion Energy’s 2017 net operating loss carryforward, the benefit of which will be recognized at the 21% rate. As a result, Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate reflects a $23 million increase to deferred income tax expense associated with the remeasurement of this deferred tax asset. The application of these proposed regulations at Dominion Energy Gas had no impact on income tax expense as the changes in, and remeasurement of, deferred tax liabilities increased regulatory liabilities by $35 million. The effects of these changes at Virginia Power were immaterial. These amounts and adjustments represent the Companies’ best estimate based on available information, and could be subject to change based on additional guidance in yet to be finalized regulations. In addition, changes in estimates of amounts probable of return to or collection from customers increased deferred income tax expense at Virginia Power by $23 million and increased regulatory liabilities by $31 million. At Dominion Energy Gas similar changes in estimates decreased income tax expense by $11 million and regulatory liabilities by $16 million. These changes also impacted Dominion Energy. In addition, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ effective tax rates reflect the impacts of a state legislative change enacted in the second quarter of 2018 that was retroactive to January 1, 2018. In 2017, the Companies’ effective tax rates reflect the net benefit of remeasurement of deferred taxes resulting from the lower corporate income tax rate promulgated by the 2017 Tax Reform Act, and the completion of audits by state tax authorities that resulted in the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2016, Virginia Power’s unrecognized tax benefits included state refund claims for open tax years through 2011. Management believed settlement of the claims, including interest thereon, within the next twelve months was remote. In June 2017, Virginia Power received and accepted a cash offer to settle the refund claims. As a result of the settlement, Virginia Power decreased its unrecognized tax benefits by $8 million, and recognized a $2 million tax benefit, which impacted its effective tax rate. Also in connection with this settlement, Virginia Power realized interest income of $11 million, which is reflected in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In 2016, Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate reflects a valuation allowance on a state credit not expected to be utilized by a Dominion Energy subsidiary which files a separate state return. The Companies’ deferred income taxes consist of the following: Dominion Energy Virginia Power Dominion Energy At December 31, 2018 2017 2018 2017 2018 2017 (millions) Deferred income taxes: Total deferred income tax assets $ 2,748 $ 2,686 $ 1,054 $ 923 $ 318 $ 320 Total deferred income tax liabilities 7,813 7,158 4,020 3,600 1,783 1,774 Total net deferred income tax liabilities $ 5,065 $ 4,472 $ 2,966 $2,677 $1,465 $ 1,454 Total deferred income taxes: Plant and equipment, primarily depreciation method and basis differences $ 4,933 $ 5,056 $ 3,367 $2,969 $1,170 $ 1,132 Excess deferred income taxes (993 ) (1,050 ) (678 ) (687 ) (254 ) (244 ) Nuclear decommissioning 815 829 273 260 — — Deferred state income taxes 626 834 284 378 175 227 Federal benefit of deferred state income taxes (132 ) (175 ) (60 ) (79 ) (37 ) (48 ) Deferred fuel, purchased energy and gas costs 60 1 59 (3 ) 1 2 Pension benefits 81 141 (132 ) (104 ) 431 419 Other postretirement benefits (5 ) (51 ) 55 44 (1 ) (2 ) Loss and credit carryforwards (1,546 ) (1,536 ) (183 ) (111 ) (7 ) (4 ) Valuation allowances 158 146 5 5 12 3 Partnership basis differences 1,135 473 — — 26 26 Other (67 ) (196 ) (24 ) 5 (51 ) (57 ) Total net deferred income tax liabilities $ 5,065 $ 4,472 $ 2,966 $2,677 $1,465 $ 1,454 Deferred Investment Tax Credits – Regulated Operations 51 51 51 51 — — Total Deferred Taxes and Deferred Investment Tax Credits $ 5,116 $ 4,523 $ 3,017 $2,728 $1,465 $ 1,454 The most significant impact reflected for the 2017 Tax Reform Act is the adjustment of the net accumulated deferred income tax liability for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate to 21%. In addition to amounts recognized in deferred income tax expense, the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act decreased the accumulated deferred income tax liability by $3.1 billion at Dominion Energy, $1.9 billion at Virginia Power and $0.8 billion at Dominion Energy Gas at December 31, 2017. At Dominion Energy, the December 31, 2017 balance sheet reflected the impact of the 2017 Tax Reform Act on our regulatory liabilities which increased our regulatory liabilities by $4.2 billion, and created a corresponding deferred tax asset of $1.1 billion. At Virginia Power, our regulatory liabilities increased $2.6 billion, and created a deferred tax asset of $0.7 billion. At Dominion Energy Gas, our regulatory liabilities increased $1.0 billion, and created a deferred tax asset of $0.2 billion. These adjustments had no impact on 2017 cash flows. At December 31, 2018, Dominion Energy had the following deductible loss and credit carryforwards: Deductible Deferred Valuation Expiration (millions) Federal losses $ 120 $ 25 $ — 2034 Federal investment credits — 1,007 — 2033-2038 Federal production credits — 150 — 2031-2038 Other federal credits — 62 — 2031-2038 State losses 1,126 73 (61 ) 2019-2038 State minimum tax credits — 122 — No expiration State investment and other credits — 107 (90 ) 2019-2025 Total $1,246 $ 1,546 $(151) At December 31, 2018, Virginia Power had the following deductible loss and credit carryforwards: Deductible Deferred Valuation Expiration (millions) Federal losses $ 1 $ — $ — 2034 Federal investment credits — 113 — 2034-2038 Federal production and other credits — 61 — 2031-2038 State investment credits — 9 (5 ) 2024 Total $ 1 $183 $(5 ) At December 31, 2018, Dominion Energy Gas had the following deductible loss and credit carryforwards: Deductible Deferred Valuation Expiration (millions) Other federal credits $ — $ 1 $ — 2032-2037 State losses 53 5 (5 ) 2036-2038 Total $ 53 $ 6 $ (5 ) A reconciliation of changes in the Companies’ unrecognized tax benefits follows: Dominion Energy Virginia Power Dominion Energy Gas 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 (millions) Balance at January 1 $ 38 $ 64 $ 103 $ 4 $ 13 $ 12 $ — $ 7 $29 Increases-prior period positions 10 1 9 — — 4 — — 1 Decreases-prior period positions — (9 ) (44 ) — (1 ) (3 ) — — (19 ) Increases-current period positions 10 5 6 — — — — — — Settlements with tax authorities (6 ) (23 ) (8 ) (1 ) (8 ) — — (7 ) (4 ) Expiration of statutes of limitations (8 ) — (2 ) (1 ) — — — — — Balance at December 31 $ 44 $ 38 $ 64 $ 2 $ 4 $ 13 $— $ — $ 7 Certain unrecognized tax benefits, or portions thereof, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Changes in these unrecognized tax benefits may result from remeasurement of amounts expected to be realized, settlements with tax authorities and expiration of statutes of limitations. For Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries, these unrecognized tax benefits were $37 million, $31 million and $45 million at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For Dominion Energy, the change in these unrecognized tax benefits increased income tax expense by $5 million in 2018 and decreased income tax expense by $9 million and $18 million in 2017 and 2016 respectively. For Virginia Power, these unrecognized tax benefits were $2 million, $3 million, and $9 million at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For Virginia Power, the change in these unrecognized tax benefits decreased income tax expense by $2 million and $6 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, and increased income tax expense by $1 million in 2016. For Dominion Energy Gas, these unrecognized tax benefits were less than $1 million, at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and $5 million at December 31, 2016. For Dominion Energy Gas, the change in these unrecognized tax benefits decreased income tax expense by less than $1 million, $5 million, and $11 million in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. Dominion Energy participates in the IRS Compliance Assurance Process which provides the opportunity to resolve complex tax matters with the IRS before filing its federal income tax returns, thus achieving certainty for such tax return filing positions agreed to by the IRS. In 2018, Dominion Energy submitted carryback claims for specified liability losses involving prior tax years. These claims will be subject to IRS examination. With the exception of these claims, the IRS has completed its audit of tax years through 2017. The statute of limitations has not yet expired for tax years after 2012. Although Dominion Energy has not received a final letter indicating no changes to its taxable income for tax year 2017, no material adjustments are expected. The IRS examination of tax year 2018 is ongoing. It is reasonably possible that settlement negotiations and expiration of statutes of limitations could result in a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits in 2019 by up to $18 million for Dominion Energy and less than $1 million for Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. If such changes were to occur, other than revisions of the accrual for interest on tax underpayments and overpayments, earnings could increase by up to $17 million for Dominion Energy and less than $1 million for Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Otherwise, with regard to 2018 and prior years, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas cannot estimate the range of reasonably possible changes to unrecognized tax benefits that may occur in 2019. For each of the major states in which Dominion Energy operates, the earliest tax year remaining open for examination is as follows: State Earliest Pennsylvania (1) 2012 Connecticut 2015 Virginia (2) 2015 West Virginia (1) 2015 New York (1) 2011 Utah 2015 (1) Considered a major state for Dominion Energy Gas’ operations. (2) Considered a major state for Virginia Power’s operations. The Companies are also obligated to report adjustments resulting from IRS settlements to state tax authorities. In addition, if Dominion Energy utilizes operating losses or tax credits generated in years for which the statute of limitations has expired, such amounts are generally subject to examination. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | N OTE AIR ALUE EASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. However, the use of a mid-market mid-point Inputs and Assumptions Fair value is based on actively-quoted market prices, if available. In the absence of actively-quoted market prices, price information is sought from external sources, including industry publications, and to a lesser extent, broker quotes. When evaluating pricing information provided by Designated Contract Market settlement pricing, other pricing services, or brokers, the Companies consider the ability to transact at the quoted price, i.e. if the quotes are based on an active market or an inactive market and to the extent which pricing models are used, if pricing is not readily available. If pricing information from external sources is not available, or if the Companies believe that observable pricing is not indicative of fair value, judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. In those cases the unobservable inputs are developed and substantiated using historical information, available market data, third-party data, and statistical analysis. Periodically, inputs to valuation models are reviewed and revised as needed, based on historical information, updated market data, market liquidity and relationships, and changes in third-party sources. For options and contracts with option-like characteristics where observable pricing information is not available from external sources, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power generally use a modified Black-Scholes Model that considers time value, the volatility of the underlying commodities and other relevant assumptions when estimating fair value. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power use other option models under special circumstances, including but not limited to Spread Approximation Model and a Swing Option Model. For contracts with unique characteristics, the Companies may estimate fair value using a discounted cash flow approach deemed appropriate in the circumstances and applied consistently from period to period. For individual contracts, the use of different valuation models or assumptions could have a significant effect on the contract’s estimated fair value. The inputs and assumptions used in measuring fair value include the following: For commodity derivative contracts: • Forward commodity prices • Transaction prices • Price volatility • Price correlation • Volumes • Commodity location • Interest rates • Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies • Credit enhancements • Time value For interest rate derivative contracts: • Interest rate curves • Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies • Notional value • Credit enhancements • Time value For foreign currency derivative contracts: • Foreign currency forward exchange rates • Interest rates • Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies • Notional value • Credit enhancements • Time value For investments: • Quoted securities prices and indices • Securities trading information including volume and restrictions • Maturity • Interest rates • Credit quality Levels The Companies also utilize the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels: • Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that they have the ability to access at the measurement date. Instruments categorized in Level 1 primarily consist of financial instruments such as certain exchange-traded derivatives, and exchange-listed equities, U.S. and international equity securities, mutual funds and certain Treasury securities held in nuclear decommissioning trust funds for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, benefit plan trust funds for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas, and rabbi trust funds for Dominion Energy. • Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 primarily include commodity forwards and swaps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps and cash and cash equivalents, corporate debt instruments, government securities and other fixed income investments held in nuclear decommissioning trust funds for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, benefit plan trust funds for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas and rabbi trust funds for Dominion Energy. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Instruments categorized in Level 3 for the Companies consist of long-dated commodity derivatives, FTRs, certain natural gas and power options and other modeled commodity derivatives. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these cases, the lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. Alternative investments, consisting of investments in partnerships, joint ventures and other alternative investments held in nuclear decommissioning and benefit plan trust funds, are generally valued using NAV based on the proportionate share of the fair value as determined by reference to the most recent audited fair value financial statements or fair value statements provided by the investment manager adjusted for any significant events occurring between the investment manager’s and the Companies’ measurement date. Alternative investments recorded at NAV are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. Transfers out of Level 3 represent assets and liabilities that were previously classified as Level 3 for which the inputs became observable for classification in either Level 1 or Level 2. Because the activity and liquidity of commodity markets vary substantially between regions and time periods, the availability of observable inputs for substantially the full term and value of the Companies’ over-the-counter Level 3 Valuations The Companies enter into certain physical and financial forwards, futures, options and swaps, which are considered Level 3 as they have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation. The discounted cash flow method is used to value Level 3 physical and financial forwards and futures contracts. An option model is used to value Level 3 physical and financial options. The discounted cash flow model for forwards and futures calculates mark-to-market mark-to-market The following table presents Dominion Energy’s quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements at December 31, 2018.

A TLANTIC OAST IPELINE UARANTEE GREEMENT In October 2017, Dominion Energy entered into a guarantee agreement in connection with Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s obligation under a $3.4 billion revolving credit facility. See Note 22 for more information about the guarantee agreement associated with Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s revolving credit facility. Dominion Energy recorded a liability of $30 million, the fair value of the guarantee at inception, associated with the guarantee agreement. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow method and is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of a significant unobservable input related to the interest rate differential between the interest rate charged on the guaranteed revolving credit facility and the estimated interest rate that would have been charged had the loan not been guaranteed. D OMINION NERGY AS In the fourth quarter of 2018, subsequent to the announcement of the sale of Dominion Energy’s interest in Blue Racer, Dominion Energy Gas conducted a review of strategic alternatives of its remaining gathering and processing assets at DGP. Based on an evaluation of DGP’s long-lived assets for recoverability under a probability weighted approach, Dominion Energy Gas determined the assets were impaired. As a result of this evaluation, Dominion Energy Gas recorded a charge of $219 million ($165 million after-tax) Recurring Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy with a separate reconciliation of fair value measurements categorized as Level 3.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Substantially all of the Companies’ financial instruments are recorded at fair value, with the exception of the instruments described below, which are reported at historical cost. Estimated fair values have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies considered appropriate by management. The carrying amount of cash, restricted cash and equivalents, customer and other receivables, affiliated receivables, short-term debt, affiliated current borrowings, payables to affiliates and accounts payable are representative of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For the Companies’ financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value, the carrying amounts and estimated fair values are as follows: December 31, 2018 2017 Carrying Amount Estimated (1) Carrying Amount Estimated (1) (millions) Dominion Energy Long-term debt, including securities due within one year (2) $ 29,952 $31,045 $ 28,666 $31,233 Credit facility borrowings 73 73 — — Junior subordinated notes (3) 3,430 3,358 3,981 4,102 Remarketable subordinated notes (3) 1,386 1,340 1,379 1,446 Virginia Power Long-term debt, including securities due within one year (3) $ 11,671 $12,400 $ 11,346 $12,842 Dominion Energy Gas Long-term debt, including securities due within one year (4) $ 4,058 $ 4,072 $ 3,570 $ 3,719 (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 amounts which represent, the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount or premium, and foreign currency remeasurement adjustments. At December 31, 2018, and 2017, includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with Dominion Energy’s fixed rate debt of $(20) million and $(22) million, respectively.

(2) Liability of less than $1 million and $17 million associated with NedPower recorded to other deferred credits and other liabilities, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. See additional discussion of NedPower below. Dominion Energy’s equity earnings on its investments totaled $197 million, $14 million and $111 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, included in other income in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Dominion Energy received distributions from these investments of $209 million, $419 million and $104 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying amount of Dominion Energy’s investments exceeded its share of underlying equity in net assets by $161 million and $249 million, respectively. At December 31, 2018 these differences are comprised of $146 million of equity method goodwill that is not being amortized and $15 million related to basis differences from Dominion Energy’s investments in wind projects, which are being amortized over the useful lives of the underlying assets, and in Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which is being amortized over the term of its credit facility. At December 31, 2017 these differences are comprised of $176 million of equity method goodwill and $73 million related to basis differences from Dominion Energy’s investments in Blue Racer and wind projects, and in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Dominion Energy Gas’ equity earnings on its investment totaled $24 million in 2018 and $21 million in 2017 and 2016. Dominion Energy Gas received distributions from its investment of $28 million, $24 million and $22 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying amount of Dominion Energy Gas’ investment exceeded its share of underlying equity in net assets by $8 million. The difference reflects equity method goodwill and is not being amortized. In May 2016, Dominion Energy Gas sold 0.65% of the noncontrolling partnership interest in Iroquois to TransCanada for approximately $7 million, which resulted in a $5 million ($3 million after-tax) D OMINION NERGY A TLANTIC OAST IPELINE In September 2014, Dominion Energy, along with Duke and Southern Company Gas, announced the formation of Atlantic Coast Pipeline. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline partnership agreement includes provisions to allow Dominion Energy an option to purchase additional ownership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline to maintain a leading ownership percentage. In October 2016, Dominion Energy purchased an additional 3% membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline from Duke for $14 million. As of December 31, 2018, the members hold the following membership interests: Dominion Energy, 48%; Duke, 47%; and Southern Company Gas, 5%. Atlantic Coast Pipeline is focused on constructing an approximately 600-mile 20-year DETI provides services to Atlantic Coast Pipeline which totaled $203 million, $129 million and $95 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, included in operating revenue in Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income. Amounts receivable related to these services were $13 million and $12 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, composed entirely of accrued unbilled revenue, included in other receivables in Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. In October 2017, Dominion Energy entered into a guarantee agreement to support a portion of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s obligation under its credit facility. See Note 22 for more information. Dominion Energy contributed $414 million, $310 million and $184 million during 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Dominion Energy received distributions of $36 million and $270 million during 2018 and 2017, respectively, from Atlantic Coast Pipeline. No distributions were received in 2016. During the third and fourth quarters of 2018, a FERC stop work order together with delays in obtaining permits necessary for construction along with construction delays due to judicial actions impacted the cost and schedule for the project. As a result project cost estimates have increased from between $6.0 billion to $6.5 billion to between $7.0 billion to $7.5 billion, excluding financing costs. Atlantic Coast Pipeline expects to achieve a late 2020 in-service date for at least key segments of the project, while the remainder may extend into early 2021. Alternatively, if it takes longer to resolve the judicial issues, such as through appeal to the Supreme Court of the U.S., full in-service could extend to the end of 2021 with total project cost estimated to increase an additional $250 million, resulting in total project cost estimates of $7.25 billion to $7.75 billion excluding financing costs. Abnormal weather, work delays (including due to judicial or regulatory action) and other conditions may result in further cost or schedule modifications in the future, which could result in a material impact to Dominion Energy’s cash flows, financial position and/or results of operations. B LUE ACER In December 2012, Dominion Energy formed a joint venture with Caiman to provide midstream services to natural gas producers operating in the Utica Shale region in Ohio and portions of Pennsylvania. Blue Racer was an equal partnership between Dominion Energy and Caiman, with Dominion Energy contributing midstream assets and Caiman contributing private equity capital. In December 2016, Dominion Energy Gas repurchased a portion of the Western System from Blue Racer for $10 million. In December 2018, Dominion Energy sold its 50% limited partnership interest in Blue Racer for up-front after-tax), F OWLER IDGE ED OWER In the fourth quarter of 2017, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $126 million ($76 million after-tax) As a result of the impairment recorded by NedPower, Dominion Energy evaluated its equity method investment in Fowler Ridge, a similar wind-powered merchant generation facility, determined its fair value was other than-temporarily impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $32 million ($20 million after-tax) O THER ATALYST LD IVER YDROELECTRIC IMITED ARTNERSHIP In September 2018, Dominion Energy completed the sale of its 25% limited partnership interest in Catalyst Old River Hydroelectric Limited Partnership and received proceeds of $91 million.

Regulatory Matters | N OTE EGULATORY ATTERS 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. FERC —E LECTRIC Under the Federal Power Act, FERC regulates wholesale sales and transmission of electricity in interstate commerce by public util-ities. Virginia Power purchases and sells electricity in the PJM wholesale market and sells electricity to wholesale purchasers in Virginia and North Carolina. Dominion Energy’s merchant generators sell electricity in the PJM, CAISO and ISO-NE Rates In April 2008, FERC granted an application for Virginia Power’s electric transmission operations to establish a forward-looking formula rate mechanism that updates transmission rates on an annual basis and approved an ROE effective as of January 1, 2008. The formula rate is designed to recover the expected revenue requirement for each calendar year and is updated based on actual costs. The FERC-approved formula method, which is based on projected costs, allows Virginia Power to earn a current return on its investment in electric transmission infrastructure. In March 2010, ODEC and North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation filed a complaint with FERC against Virginia Power claiming, among other issues, that the incremental costs of undergrounding certain transmission line projects were unjust, unreasonable and unduly discriminatory or preferential and should be excluded from Virginia Power’s transmission formula rate. A settlement of the other issues raised in the complaint was approved by FERC in May 2012. In March 2014, FERC issued an order excluding from Virginia Power’s transmission rates for wholesale transmission customers located outside Virginia the incremental costs of undergrounding certain transmission line projects. FERC found it is not just and reasonable for non-Virginia In October 2017, FERC issued an order determining the calculation of the incremental costs of undergrounding the transmission projects and affirming that the costs are to be recovered from the wholesale transmission customers with loads located in Virginia. FERC directed Virginia Power to rebill all wholesale transmission customers retroactively to March 2010 within 30 days of when the proceeding becomes final and no longer subject to rehearing. In November 2017, Virginia Power, North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation and the wholesale transmission customers filed petitions for rehearing. In July 2018, FERC denied the rehearing requests related to the October 2017 order determining the calculation of the undergrounding costs. Several parties have appealed FERC’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. This matter is pending. While Virginia Power cannot predict the outcome of the matter, it is not expected to have a material effect on results of operations. In January 2019, FERC issued an order denying PJM’s request to waive certain provisions of the PJM Tariff regarding the liquidation of a portfolio of FTRs owned by GreenHat who had defaulted on its financial obligations. As a result of FERC’s order, PJM is required to use the existing tariff provisions to liquidate GreenHat’s FTR portfolio and allocate the resulting costs to PJM members. In February 2019, PJM filed a request for clarification and rehearing with FERC. While the impacts of this order could be material to Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory framework in Virginia provides rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts. PJM Transmission Rates In April 2007, FERC issued an order regarding its transmission rate design for the allocation of costs among PJM transmission customers, including Virginia Power, for transmission service provided by PJM. For new PJM-planned In August 2009, the court issued its decision affirming the FERC order with regard to the existing facilities, but remanded to FERC the issue of the cost allocation associated with the new facilities 500 kV and above for further consideration by FERC. On remand, FERC reaffirmed its earlier decision to allocate the costs of new facilities 500 kV and above according to the customer’s share of the region’s load. A number of parties filed appeals of the order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. In June 2014, the court again remanded the cost allocation issue to FERC. In December 2014, FERC issued an order setting an evidentiary hearing and settlement proceeding regarding the cost allocation issue. The hearing only concerns the costs of new facilities approved by PJM prior to February 1, 2013. Transmission facilities approved after February 1, 2013 are allocated on a hybrid cost allocation method approved by FERC and not subject to any court review. In June 2016, PJM, the PJM transmission owners and state commissions representing substantially all of the load in the PJM market submitted a settlement to FERC to resolve the outstanding issues regarding this matter. In May 2018, FERC issued an order accepting the settlement agreement and directed PJM to make a compliance filing with revised tariff records. As a result, in August 2018, Virginia Power began to make payments to PJM, to continue for the next 10 years totaling $276 million, under the terms of revised tariff records, which was partially offset by a $265 million regulatory asset for the amount that will be recovered through retail rates in Virginia. At December 31, 2018, Virginia Power’s Consolidated Balance Sheet includes $126 million in other current liabilities and $50 million included in other deferred credits and other liabilities for amounts owed to PJM. FERC—G AS In July 2017, FERC audit staff communicated to DETI that it had substantially completed an audit of DETI’s compliance with the accounting and reporting requirements of FERC’s Uniform System of Accounts and provided a description of matters and preliminary recommendations. In November 2017, the FERC audit staff issued its audit report which could have the potential to result in adjustments which could be material to Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ results of operations. In December 2017, DETI provided its response to the audit report. DETI requested FERC review of contested findings and submitted its plan for compliance with the uncontested portions of the report. In connection with one uncontested issue, DETI recognized a charge of $15 million ($9 million after-tax) write-off after-tax) 2017 T AX EFORM CT Subsequent to the enactment of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, the Companies’ state regulators issued orders requesting that public utilities evaluate the total tax impact on the entity’s cost of service and accrue a regulatory liability attributable to the benefits of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate. Certain of the orders requested that the public utilities submit a response to the state regulatory commissions detailing the total tax impact on the utility’s cost of service. The Companies began to reserve the impacts of the cost-of-service In September 2018, the Virginia Commission issued an order directing Virginia Power to submit a filing quantifying the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act in advance of the April 1, 2019 implementation as required by legislation. In October 2018, Virginia Power filed testimony with the Virginia Commission to implement adjustments in its base rates reflecting actual annual reductions in corporate income taxes resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform Act, which included a proposed annual revenue reduction of approximately $151 million effective April 2019. In December 2018, the Staff of the Virginia Commission proposed an annual revenue reduction of approximately $190 million. In January 2019, Virginia Power filed updated testimony with a proposed annual revenue reduction of approximately $171 million. Additionally, Virginia Power proposed to issue a one-time true-up one-time 15-month In August 2018, Virginia Power filed with FERC to waive protocols and begin reflecting projected tax reform benefits of approximately $100 million through the transmission formula rate prior to the normal formula rate process. FERC granted the waiver and the amounts began being reflected in customer billings in November 2018 reflecting the adjustment effective January 1, 2018. In October 2018, the North Carolina Commission issued an order requesting companies file to reduce base rates expeditiously. Virginia Power made its compliance filing in October 2018 and submitted an annual base rate revenue decrease of approximately $14 million effective in early 2019. Virginia Power also proposed to issue a one-time In May 2018, the Utah Commission approved a stipulation submitted by Questar Gas proposing the cost-of-service one-year In October 2018, the Ohio Commission issued an order requiring rate-regulated utilities to file an application reflecting the impact of the 2017 Tax Reform Act on current rates by January 1, 2019. In December 2018, East Ohio filed its application proposing an approach to establishing rates and charges by and through which to return tax reform benefits to its customers. This case is pending. As directed by the West Virginia Commission, Hope is utilizing regulatory accounting to track the effects of the 2017 Tax Reform Act beginning in January 2018 and submitted testimony in July 2018 detailing such effects. In August 2018, the West Virginia Commission approved a settlement implementing base rate reductions effective September 1, 2018. In November 2018, the West Virginia Commission issued an order requiring Hope to file a calculation of prospective tax reform savings based on 2017 financial statements, using federal income tax rates reduced for consolidated tax savings, and to record as a regulatory liability the difference between the amount calculated based on 2017 financial statements and the amount included in the voluntary base rate reduction effective September 1, 2018. In December 2018, Hope filed the required calculation setting forth an annual regulatory liability deferral amount of $0.4 million. The disposition of the additional regulatory liability will be determined in a future rate proceeding. These reductions are not expected to have a material impact on Hope’s financial condition. In March 2018, FERC announced actions to address the income tax allowance component of regulated entities’ cost-of-service one-time cost-of-service In July 2018, FERC issued a final rule adopting and modifying the procedures for determining whether jurisdictional natural gas pipelines may be collecting unjust and unreasonable rates in light of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate. Specifically, this final rule does not require master limited partnerships to eliminate their income tax allowances when completing the informational filing and allows entities that are wholly-owned by corporations to include an income tax allowance. During 2018, Dominion Energy’s FERC-regulated pipelines, including those accounted for as equity method investments, filed the required informational reports with FERC. Dominion Energy Overthrust Pipeline, LLC, White River Hub, Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline and Cove Point have reached resolution through settlement, which did not result in a material impact to results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows of Dominion Energy, waiver or FERC terminating the 501-G proceeding. In January 2019, Iroquois reached a settlement in principle with its customers, which if approved would not have a material impact to Dominion Energy or Dominion Energy Gas, and expects to file a settlement agreement with FERC in the first quarter of 2019. The FERC dockets for DETI and DECG remain open. While the informational filings for these two pipelines indicated that no changes to current rates charged to customers were necessary, given the associated uncertainty, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are currently unable to predict the outcome of these matters; however, any change in rates permitted to be charged to customers could have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Other Regulatory Matters V IRGINIA EGULATION The Regulation Act enacted in 2007 instituted a cost-of-service The Regulation Act authorizes stand-alone rate adjustment clauses for recovery of costs for new generation projects, FERC-approved transmission costs, underground distribution lines, environmental compliance, conservation and energy efficiency programs, renewable energy programs and nuclear license renewals, and also contains statutory provisions directing Virginia Power to file annual fuel cost recovery cases with the Virginia Commission. As amended, it provides for enhanced returns on capital expenditures on specific newly-proposed generation projects. If the Virginia Commission’s future rate decisions, including actions relating to Virginia Power’s rate adjustment clause filings, differ materially from Virginia Power’s expectations, it may adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Grid Transformation and Security Act of 2018 In March 2018, the GTSA reinstated base rate reviews on a triennial basis, other than the first review which will be a quadrennial review, occurring for Virginia Power in 2021 for the four successive 12-month In the triennial review proceedings, earnings that are more than 70 basis points above the utility’s authorized return on equity that might have been refunded to customers and served as the basis for a reduction in future rates, may be reduced by approved investment amounts in qualifying solar or wind generation facilities or electric distribution grid transformation projects that Virginia Power elects to include in a customer credit reinvestment offset. The legislation declares that electric distribution grid transformation projects are in the public interest and provides that the costs of such projects may be recovered through a rate adjustment clause if not the subject of a customer credit reinvestment offset. Any costs that are the subject of a customer credit reinvestment offset may not be recovered in base rates for the service life of the projects and may not be included in base rates in future triennial review proceedings. In any triennial review in which the Virginia Commission determines that the utility’s earnings are more than 70 basis points above its authorized return on equity, base rates are subject to reduction prospectively and customer refunds would be due unless the total customer credit reinvestment offset elected by the utility equals or exceeds the amount of earnings in excess of the 70 basis points. In the 2021 review, any such rate reduction is limited to $50 million. The legislation also includes provisions requiring Virginia Power to provide current customers one-time after-tax) non-jurisdictional In addition, Virginia Power reduced base rates on an annual basis by $125 million effective July 2018, to reflect the estimated effect of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, which is subject to adjustment effective April 2019. In May and June 2018, Virginia Power submitted filings detailing the implementation plan for interim reductions in rates for generation and distribution services pursuant to the GTSA. In July 2018, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission for approval of the first three years of its ten-year Virginia Fuel Expenses In May 2018, Virginia Power filed its annual fuel factor with the Virginia Commission to recover an estimated $1.5 billion in Virginia jurisdictional projected fuel expenses for the rate year beginning July 1, 2018. Virginia Power’s proposed fuel rate represented a fuel revenue increase of $222 million when applied to projected kilowatt-hour sales for the period July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. In August 2018, the Virginia Commission approved Virginia Power’s fuel rate with an increase of $209 million. Solar Facility Projects In July 2018, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for CPCNs to construct two solar facilities. Colonial Trail West and Spring Grove 1 are estimated to cost approximately $410 million, excluding financing costs. Colonial Trail West and Spring Grove 1 are expected to commence commercial operations, subject to regulatory approvals associated with the projects, in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2020, respectively. Virginia Power also applied for approval of Rider US-3 20-year US-3 Rate Adjustment Clauses Below is a discussion of significant riders associated with various Virginia Power projects: • The Virginia Commission previously approved Rider T1 concerning transmission rates. In May 2018, Virginia Power proposed a $755 million total revenue requirement consisting of $468 million for the transmission component of Virginia Power’s base rates and $287 million for Rider T1. This total revenue requirement represents a $146 million increase versus the revenues to be produced during the rate year under current rates. In August 2018, the Virginia Commission approved a total revenue requirement of $630 million, including Rider T1, subject to true-up, • The Virginia Commission previously approved Rider U in conjunction with cost recovery to move certain electric distribution facilities underground as authorized by Virginia legislation. In March 2018, Virginia Power requested approval of its third phase of conversions totaling $179 million and a balance of $65 million in second phase conversions not previously approved for recovery through Rider U. Virginia Power also proposed a total $73 million revenue requirement for the rate year beginning February 1, 2019 for continuing recovery of the previously approved first and second phase conversions and the proposed second and third phase conversions. In December 2018, the Virginia Commission approved a total $70 million annual revenue requirement effective February 1, 2019, a total capital investment of $179 million for third phase conversions and a balance of $64 million for second phase conversions not previously approved for recovery through Rider U. • The Virginia Commission previously approved Riders C1A and C2A in connection with cost recovery for DSM programs. In October 2018, Virginia Power requested approval to implement ten new energy efficiency programs and one new demand-response DSM program for five years, subject to future extensions, with a $262 million cost cap, and proposed a total $49 million revenue requirement for the rate year beginning July 1, 2019, which represents an $18 million increase over the previous year. This matter is pending. Additional significant riders associated with various Virginia Power projects are as follows: Rider Name Application Date Approval Date Rate Year Beginning Total Increase Rider S June 2018 February 2019 April 2019 $ 215 $ (3 ) Rider GV June 2018 February 2019 April 2019 120 38 Rider W June 2018 February 2019 April 2019 105 (4 ) Rider R June 2018 February 2019 April 2019 57 (9 ) Rider B June 2018 February 2019 April 2019 38 (9 ) Rider BW October Pending September 2019 123 7 Rider US-2 October Pending September 2019 16 3 Rider E December Pending November 2019 114 N/A Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project In November 2018, Virginia Power received approval from the Virginia Commission for its petition seeking a prudency determination as provided in the GTSA with respect to the proposed Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project consisting of two 6 MW wind turbine generators located approximately 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia in federal waters, and for a CPCN, for the generation tie line connecting the generators to shore. This project is expected to cost approximately $300 million and to be placed into service by the end of 2020. Electric Transmission Projects In November 2013, the Virginia Commission issued an order granting Virginia Power a CPCN to construct approximately 7 miles of new overhead 500 kV transmission line from the existing Surry switching station in Surry County to a new Skiffes Creek switching station in James City County, and approximately 20 miles of new 230 kV transmission line in James City County, York County, and the City of Newport News from the proposed new Skiffes Creek switching station to Virginia Power’s existing Whealton substation in the City of Hampton. As of July 2017, Virginia Power has received all major required permits and approvals and is proceeding with construction of the project. In connection with the receipt of the permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in July 2017, Virginia Power was required to make payments totaling approximately $90 million to fund improvements to historical and cultural resources near the project. Accordingly, in July 2017, Virginia Power recorded an increase to property, plant and equipment and a corresponding liability for these payment obligations. Through December 31, 2017, Virginia Power had made $90 million of such payments. Also in July 2017, the National Parks Conservation Association filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the D.C. Circuit seeking to set aside the permit granted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the project and requested a preliminary injunction against the permit. In August 2017, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Preservation Virginia filed a similar lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the D.C. Circuit. In October 2017, the preliminary injunction requests were denied. In May 2018, the District Court granted summary judgment in favor of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Virginia Power and dismissed both lawsuits. In June 2018, the National Parks Conservation Association and the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Preservation Virginia appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The appeal is pending. Also in June 2018, the National Parks Conservation Association filed requests with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit for an injunction against the permit pending appeal. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied the injunction request in June 2018 and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit similarly denied the request in July 2018. In November 2015, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for a CPCN to convert an existing transmission line to 230 kV in Prince William County, Virginia, and Loudoun County, Virginia, and to construct and operate a new approximately five mile overhead 230 kV double circuit transmission line between a tap point near the Gainesville substation and a new to-be-constructed rights-of-way. In June 2018, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for a CPCN to rebuild and operate in King and Queen, King William, and New Kent Counties, Virginia four separate segments of 230 kV transmission line between Lanexa and the Northern Neck in Virginia. In February 2019, Virginia Power withdrew two of the segments from the application. As a result, the total estimated cost of the project is approximately $30 million. This matter is pending. Additional significant Virginia Power electric transmission projects approved and applied for in 2018 are as follows: Description and Location of Project Application Date Approval Date Type of Line Miles Lines Cost (millions) Rebuild and operate existing 115 kV transmission lines between the Possum Point Switching Station and Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative’s Smoketown delivery point June 2017 February 2018 230 kV 9 $ 20 Rebuild and operate between the Dooms substation and the Valley substation, along with associated substation work September 2017 September 2018 500 kV 18 65 Build and operate between the Idylwood and Tysons substations, along with associated substation work November 2017 September 2018 230 kV 4 125 Rebuild and operate between the Chesterfield and Hopewell substations, along with associated substation work May 2018 November 2018 230 kV 8 30 Rebuild and operate between the Chesterfield and Lakeside substations, along with associated substation work May 2018 December 2018 230 kV 21 35 Rebuild and operate between the Landstown and Thrasher substations, along with associated substation work June 2018 December 2018 230 kV 8.5 20 Partial rebuild of overhead transmission lines in Alleghany County, Virginia and Covington, Virginia August 2018 Pending 138 kV 5 15 Build a new substation and connect three existing transmission lines thereto in Fluvanna County, Virginia October 2018 Pending 230 kV <1 30 N ORTH AROLINA EGULATION In August 2018, Virginia Power submitted its annual filing to the North Carolina Commission to adjust the fuel component of its electric rates. Virginia Power proposed a total $24 million increase to the fuel component of its electric rates for the rate year beginning February 1, 2019. As a mitigation alternative, Virginia Power proposed recovering 50% in the February 1, 2019 to the January 31, 2020 rate period and the remaining 50% in the following rate period. In January 2019, the North Carolina Commission approved Virginia Power’s full proposed fuel charge adjustment of $24 million. O HIO EGULATION PIR Program In 2008, East Ohio began PIR, aimed at replacing approximately 25% of its pipeline system. In March 2015, East Ohio filed an application with the Ohio Commission requesting approval to extend the PIR program for an additional five years and to increase the annual capital investment, with corresponding increases in the annual rate-increase caps. In September 2016, the Ohio Commission approved a stipulation filed jointly by East Ohio and the Staff of the Ohio Commission to settle East Ohio’s pending application. As requested, the PIR program and associated cost recovery will continue for another five-year term, calendar years 2017 through 2021, and East Ohio will be permitted to increase its annual capital expenditures to $200 million by 2018 and 3% per year thereafter subject to the cost recovery rate increase caps proposed by East Ohio. In April 2018, the Ohio Commission approved East Ohio’s application to adjust the PIR cost recovery rates for 2017 costs. The filing reflects gross plant investment for 2017 of $204 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $1.4 billion and a revenue requirement of $165 million. AMR Program In 2007, East Ohio began installing automated meter reading technology for its 1.2 million customers in Ohio. The AMR program approved by the Ohio Commission was completed in 2012. Although no further capital investment will be added, East Ohio is approved to recover depreciation, property taxes, carrying charges and a return until East Ohio has another rate case. In April 2018, the Ohio Commission approved East Ohio’s application to adjust its AMR cost recovery rate for 2017 costs. The filing reflects a revenue requirement of approximately $5 million. PIPP Plus Program Under the Ohio PIPP Plus Program, eligible customers can make reduced payments based on their ability to pay their bill. The difference between the customer’s total bill and the PIPP amount is deferred and collected under the PIPP rider in accordance with the rules of the Ohio Commission. In May 2018, East Ohio filed its annual update of the PIPP rider with the Ohio Commission. In July 2018, East Ohio’s annual update of the PIPP rider was automatically approved by the Ohio Commission after a 45-day 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 September 2018, the Ohio Commission approved East Ohio’s application requesting approval of its UEX Rider to reflect a refund of over-recovered accumulated bad debt expense of approximately $11 million as of March 31, 2018, and recovery of prospective net bad debt expense projected to total $16 million for the twelve-month period from April 2018 to March 2019. DSM Rider East Ohio has approval for a DSM rider through which it recovers expenditures related to its DSM programs. In November 2018, East Ohio filed an application with the Ohio Commission seeking approval of an adjustment to the DSM rider to recover a total of $4 million, which includes an over-recovery of costs during the preceding 12-month W EST IRGINIA EGULATION In May 2018, Hope filed a PREP application with the West Virginia Commission requesting approval to recover PREP costs related to $31 million and $36 million of projected capital investment for 2018 and 2019, respectively. The application also includes a true-up U TAH AND YOMING EGULATION Fuel Deferral In May 2018, Questar Gas submitted filings with both the Utah Commission and the Wyoming Commission for an approximately $86 million gas cost decrease reflecting forecasted decreases in commodity costs. The Utah Commission and the Wyoming Commission both approved the filings in May 2018 with rates effective June 2018. In October 2018, Questar Gas submitted filings with both the Utah Commission and the Wyoming Commission for an approximately $48 million gas cost decrease reflecting forecasted decreases in commodity costs. The Utah Commission and the Wyoming Commission both approved the filings in October 2018 with rates effective November 2018. In October 2018, the Utah Commission denied Questar Gas’ request for pre-approval Infrastructure Replacement Tracker During 2018, Questar Gas filed applications with the Utah Commission to increase its infrastructure replacement surcharge to collect an additional $11 million in revenue in 2019 related to $85 million in 2018 capital investment. The Utah Commission approved the applications in the fourth quarter of 2018. FERC—G AS Cove Point In March 2018, Cove Point submitted its annual electric power cost adjustment to FERC requesting approval to recover $30 million. FERC approved the adjustment in March 2018. In June 2015, Cove Point executed two binding precedent agreements for the approximately $150 million Eastern Market Access Project. In January 2018, Cove Point received FERC authorization to construct and operate the project facilities, which are expected to be placed in service in the second half of 2019. In October 2018, Cove Point announced it is evaluating alternatives to a proposed Charles County, Maryland compressor station that was initially part of this project and in December 2018, after working with project customers for alternative solutions, decided not to pursue further construction at this location resulting in a revised project estimate of approximately $45 million and a write-off pre-tax after-tax) DETI In September 2018, DETI submitted its annual transportation cost rate adjustment to FERC requesting approval to recover $37 million. Also in September 2018, DETI submitted its annual electric power cost adjustment to FERC requesting approval to recover $7 million. In October 2018, FERC approved these adjustments. In August 2018, DETI executed a binding precedent agreement with a customer for the West Loo |

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

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities | N OTE ARIABLE NTEREST NTITIES The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE and to disclose certain information about its significant variable interests in the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has both 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and 2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. D OMINION NERGY At December 31, 2018, Dominion Energy owned the general partner, 60.9% of the common and subordinated units and 37.5% of the convertible preferred interests in Dominion Energy Midstream, which owned a preferred equity interest and the general partner interest in Cove Point. In January 2019, Dominion Energy acquired all outstanding partnership interests not owned by Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Midstream became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy. Dominion Energy previously concluded that Dominion Energy Midstream was a VIE due to the limited partners lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Dominion Energy was the primary beneficiary of Dominion Energy Midstream and Dominion Energy Midstream was the primary beneficiary of Cove Point as they had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance as well as to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to them. At December 31, 2018, Dominion Energy owns the manager and 67% of the membership interest in certain merchant solar facilities, as discussed in Note 2. Dominion Energy has concluded that these entities are VIEs due to the members lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. In addition, in 2016 Dominion Energy created a wholly owned subsidiary, SBL Holdco, as a holding company of its interest in the VIE merchant solar facilities and accordingly SBL Holdco is a VIE. Dominion Energy is the primary beneficiary of SBL Holdco and the merchant solar facilities, as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to them. Dominion Energy’s securities due within one year and long-term debt include $31 million and $299 million, respectively, of debt issued by SBL Holdco net of issuance costs that is nonrecourse to Dominion Energy and is secured by SBL Holdco’s interest in certain merchant solar facilities. Dominion Energy owns a 48% membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. See Note 9 for more details regarding the nature of this entity. Dominion Energy concluded that Atlantic Coast Pipeline is a VIE because it has insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. Dominion Energy has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of Atlantic Coast Pipeline as it does not have the power to direct the activities of Atlantic Coast Pipeline that most significantly impact its economic performance, as the power to direct is shared among multiple unrelated parties. Dominion Energy is obligated to provide capital contributions based on its ownership percentage. Dominion Energy’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its current and future investment as well as any obligations under a guarantee provided. See Note 22 for more information. D OMINION NERGY AND IRGINIA OWER Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear decommissioning trust funds and Dominion Energy’s rabbi trusts hold investments in limited partnerships or similar type entities (see Note 9 for further details). Dominion Energy and Virginia Power concluded that these partnership investments are VIEs due to the limited partners lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have concluded neither is the primary beneficiary as they do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are obligated to provide capital contributions to the partnerships as required by each partnership agreement based on their ownership percentages. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to their current and future investments. D OMINION NERGY AND OMINION NERGY AS Dominion Energy previously concluded that Iroquois was a VIE because a non-affiliated V IRGINIA OWER Virginia Power had long-term power and capacity contracts with three non-utility non-utility non-utility non-utility D OMINION NERGY AS DETI has been engaged to oversee the construction of, and to subsequently operate and maintain, the projects undertaken by Atlantic Coast Pipeline based on the overall direction and oversight of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s members. An affiliate of DETI holds a membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline, therefore DETI is considered to have a variable interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. The members of Atlantic Coast Pipeline hold the power to direct the construction, operations and maintenance activities of the entity. DETI has concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Atlantic Coast Pipeline as it does not have the power to direct the activities of Atlantic Coast Pipeline that most significantly impact its economic performance. DETI has no obligation to absorb any losses of the VIE. See Note 24 for information about associated related party receivable balances. V IRGINIA OWER AND OMINION NERGY AS Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas purchased shared services from DES, an affiliated VIE, of $335 million and $126 million, $340 million and $126 million, and $346 million and $123 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheets included amounts due to DES of $107 million and $46 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018, and $36 million and $14 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017, recorded in payables to affiliates in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas determined that neither is the primary beneficiary of DES as neither has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to it. DES provides accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services to all Dominion Energy subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas have no obligation to absorb more than their allocated shares of DES costs. |

Also, during the deferral period, Dominion Energy may not make any payments on or redeem or repurchase any debt securities that are equal in right of payment with, or subordinated to, the hybrids. Dominion Energy executed RCCs in connection with its issuance of the June 2006 hybrids and the September 2006 hybrids. Under the terms of the RCCs, Dominion Energy covenants to and for the benefit of designated covered debtholders, as may be designated from time to time, that Dominion Energy shall not redeem, repurchase, or defease all or any part of the hybrids, and shall not cause its majority owned subsidiaries to purchase all or any part of the hybrids, on or before their applicable RCC termination date, unless, subject to certain limitations, during the 180 days prior to such activity, Dominion Energy has received a specified amount of proceeds as set forth in the RCCs from the sale of qualifying securities that have equity-like characteristics that are the same as, or more equity-like than the applicable characteristics of the hybrids at that time, as more fully described in the RCCs. In September 2011, Dominion Energy amended the RCCs of the June 2006 hybrids and September 2006 hybrids to expand the measurement period for consideration of proceeds from the sale of common stock issuances from 180 days to 365 days. The proceeds Dominion Energy receives from the replacement offering, adjusted by a predetermined factor, must equal or exceed the redemption or repurchase price. In the first quarter of 2016, Dominion Energy purchased and cancelled $38 million and $4 million of the June 2006 hybrids and the September 2006 hybrids, respectively. In July 2016, Dominion Energy launched a tender offer to purchase up to $200 million in aggregate of additional June 2006 hybrids and September 2006 hybrids, which expired on August 1, 2016. In connection with the tender offer, Dominion Energy purchased and cancelled $125 million and $74 million of the June 2006 hybrids and the September 2006 hybrids, respectively. All purchases were conducted in compliance with the applicable RCC. Also in July 2016, Dominion Energy issued $800 million of 5.25% July 2016 hybrids. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including to finance the tender offer. The July 2016 hybrids are listed on the NYSE under the symbol DRUA. Remarketable Subordinated Notes In June 2013, Dominion Energy issued $550 million of 2013 Series A 6.125% Equity Units and $550 million of 2013 Series B 6.0% Equity Units, initially in the form of Corporate Units. In July 2014, Dominion Energy issued $1.0 billion of 2014 Series A 6.375% Equity Units, initially in the form of Corporate Units. The Corporate Units were listed on the NYSE under the symbols DCUA, DCUB and DCUC respectively. Each Corporate Unit consisted of a stock purchase contract and 1/20 interest in a RSN issued by Dominion Energy. The stock purchase contracts obligated the holders to purchase shares of Dominion Energy common stock at a future settlement date prior to the relevant RSN maturity date. The purchase price paid under the stock purchase contracts was $50 per Corporate Unit and the number of shares purchased was determined under a formula based upon the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock near the settlement date. The RSNs were pledged as collateral to secure the purchase of common stock under the related stock purchase contracts. In May 2017, Dominion Energy successfully remarketed the $1.0 billion 2014 Series A 1.50% RSNs due 2020 pursuant to the terms of the related 2014 Equity Units. In connection with the remarketing, the interest rate on the junior subordinated notes was reset to 2.579%, payable on a semi-annual basis and Dominion Energy ceased to have the ability to redeem the notes at its option or defer interest payments. In March 2016 and May 2016, Dominion Energy successfully remarketed the $550 million 2013 Series A 1.07% RSNs due 2021 and the $550 million 2013 Series B 1.18% RSNs due 2019, respectively, pursuant to the terms of the related 2013 Equity Units. In connection with the remarketings, the interest rate on the Series A and Series B junior subordinated notes was reset to 4.104% and 2.962%, respectively, payable on a semi-annual basis and Dominion Energy ceased to have the ability to redeem the notes at its option or defer interest payments. At December 31, 2018, the securities are included in junior subordinated notes in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dominion Energy did not receive any proceeds from the remarketings. Remarketing proceeds belonged to the investors holding the related equity units and were temporarily used to purchase a portfolio of treasury securities. Upon maturity of each portfolio, the proceeds were applied on behalf of investors on the related stock purchase contract settlement date to pay the purchase price to Dominion Energy for issuance of 12.5 million shares of its common stock in July 2017 and 8.5 million shares of its common stock in both April 2016 and July 2016. See Issuance of Common Stock below for a description of common stock issued by Dominion Energy under the stock purchase contracts. In August 2016, Dominion Energy issued $1.4 billion of 2016 Series A 6.75% Equity Units, initially in the form of Corporate Units. The Corporate Units are listed on the NYSE under the symbol DCUD. The net proceeds from the 2016 Equity Units were used to finance the Dominion Energy Questar Combination. See Note 3 for more information. Each 2016 Series A Corporate Unit consists of a stock purchase contract, a 1/40 interest in a 2016 Series A-1 A-2 Dominion Energy makes quarterly interest payments on the RSNs and quarterly contract adjustment payments on the stock purchase contracts, at the rates described below. Dominion Energy may defer payments on the stock purchase contracts and the RSNs for one or more consecutive periods but generally not beyond the purchase contract settlement date. If payments are deferred, Dominion Energy may not make any cash distributions related to its capital stock, including dividends, redemptions, repurchases, liquidation payments or guarantee payments. Also, during the deferral period, Dominion Energy may not make any payments on or redeem or repurchase any debt securities that are equal in right of payment with, or subordinated to, the RSNs. Dominion Energy has recorded the present value of the stock purchase contract payments as a liability offset by a charge to equity. Interest payments on the RSNs are recorded as interest expense and stock purchase contract payments are charged against the liability. Accretion of the stock purchase contract liability is recorded as imputed interest expense. In calculating diluted EPS, Dominion Energy applies the treasury stock method to the equity units. Pursuant to the terms of the 2016 Equity Units, Dominion Energy expects to remarket both the 2016 Series A-1 A-2 Under the terms of the stock purchase contracts, assuming no anti-dilution or other adjustments, Dominion Energy will issue between 15.1 million and 18.9 million shares in August 2019. A total of 23.1 million shares of Dominion Energy’s common stock has been reserved for issuance in connection with the stock purchase contracts.

Equity | N OTE QUITY Issuance of Common Stock D OMINION NERGY Dominion Energy maintains Dominion Energy Direct ® During 2018, Dominion Energy received cash proceeds, net of fees and commissions, of $2.5 billion from the issuance of approximately 36 million shares of common stock through various programs including the forward sale agreements described below resulting in approximately 681 million shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2018. These proceeds include cash of $315 million received from the issuance of 4.5 million of such shares through Dominion Energy Direct ® In July 2017, Dominion Energy issued 12.5 million shares under the related stock purchase contracts entered into as part of Dominion Energy’s 2014 Equity Units and received proceeds of $1.0 billion. In both April 2016 and July 2016, Dominion Energy issued 8.5 million shares under the related stock purchase contracts entered into as part of Dominion Energy’s 2013 Equity Units and received $1.1 billion of total proceeds. Additionally, Dominion Energy completed a market issuance of equity in April 2016 of 10.2 million shares and received proceeds of $756 million through a registered underwritten public offering. A portion of the net proceeds was used to finance the Dominion Energy Questar Combination. See Note 3 for more information. In June 2017, Dominion Energy filed an SEC shelf registration for the sale of debt and equity securities including the ability to sell common stock through an at-the-market at-the-market at-the-market at-the-market Dominion Energy entered in March 2018, and closed in April 2018, separate forward sale agreements with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Credit Suisse Capital LLC, as forward purchasers, and an underwriting agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, relating to an aggregate of 20 million shares of Dominion Energy common stock. The underwriting agreement granted the underwriters a 30-day See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock in January 2019 in connection with the SCANA Combination. Also in January 2019, Dominion Energy acquired all outstanding partnership interests of Dominion Energy Midstream not owned by Dominion Energy through the issuance of common stock as noted below. V IRGINIA OWER In 2018, 2017 and 2016, Virginia Power did not issue any shares of its common stock to Dominion Energy. Shares Reserved for Issuance Dominion Energy has approximately 76 million shares reserved and available for issuance for Dominion Energy Direct ® Repurchase of Common Stock Dominion Energy did not repurchase any shares in 2018 or 2017 and does not plan to repurchase shares during 2019, except for shares tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock, which do not count against its stock repurchase authorization. Purchase of Dominion Energy Midstream Units In September 2015, Dominion Energy initiated a program to purchase from the market up to $50 million of common units representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream, which expired in September 2016. Dominion Energy purchased approximately 658,000 common units for $17 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. In January 2019, Dominion Energy acquired all outstanding partnership interests of Dominion Energy Midstream not owned by Dominion Energy through the issuance of 22.5 million shares of common stock valued at $1.6 billion. The merger was accounted for by Dominion Energy following the guidance for a change in a parent company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary. Because Dominion Energy controls Dominion Energy Midstream both before and after the merger, the changes in Dominion Energy’s ownership interest in Dominion Energy Midstream were accounted for as an equity transaction and no gain or loss will be recognized. The tax effect of the merger will be presented in common stock. Issuance of Dominion Energy Midstream Units In 2017, Dominion Energy Midstream received $18 million of proceeds from the issuance of common units through its at-the-market In 2016, Dominion Energy Midstream received $482 million of proceeds from the issuance of common units and $490 million of proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred units. The net proceeds were primarily used to finance a portion of the acquisition of Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline from Dominion Energy. See Note 3 for more information. The holders of the convertible preferred units were entitled to receive cumulative quarterly distributions payable in cash or additional convertible preferred units, subject to certain conditions. The units were convertible into Dominion Energy Midstream common units on a one-for-one In May 2018, all of the subordinated units of Dominion Energy Midstream held by Dominion Energy were converted into common units on a 1:1 ratio following the payment of Dominion Energy Midstream’s distribution for the first quarter of 2018. In June 2018, Dominion Energy, as general partner, exercised an incentive distribution right reset as defined in Dominion Energy Midstream’s partnership agreement and received 26.7 million common units representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream. As a result of the increase in its ownership interest in Dominion Energy Midstream, Dominion Energy recorded a decrease in noncontrolling interest, and a correspond-ing increase in shareholders’ equity, of $375 million reflecting the change in the carrying value of the interest in the net assets of Dominion Energy Midstream held by others.

The Non-Employee non-employee Goal-based stock awards are granted in lieu of cash-based performance grants to certain officers who have not achieved a certain targeted level of share ownership. As of December 31, 2018, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested goal-based stock awards was immaterial. Dominion Energy measures and recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payment transactions over the vesting period based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Dominion Energy’s results for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 include $48 million, $45 million, and $33 million, respectively, of compensation costs and $12 million, $16 million, and $11 million, respectively of income tax benefits related to Dominion Energy’s stock-based compensation arrangements. Stock-based compensation cost is reported in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Excess Tax Benefits are classified as a financing cash flow. R ESTRICTED TOCK Restricted stock grants are made to officers under Dominion Energy’s LTIP and may also be granted to certain key non-officer Shares Weighted —average (thousands) Nonvested at December 31, 2015 855 $66.16 Granted 372 71.67 Vested (301 ) 56.83 Cancelled and forfeited (40 ) 71.75 Nonvested at December 31, 2016 886 $71.40 Granted 454 74.24 Vested (287 ) 68.90 Cancelled and forfeited (10 ) 72.37 Nonvested at December 31, 2017 1,043 $73.32 Granted 534 72.92 Vested (316 ) 73.59 Cancelled and forfeited (53 ) 74.25 Nonvested at December 31, 2018 1,208 $73.03 As of December 31, 2018, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards totaled $49 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The fair value of restricted stock awards that vested was $23 million, $21 million, and $21 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Employees may elect to have shares of restricted stock withheld upon vesting to satisfy tax withholding obligations. The number of shares withheld will vary for each employee depending on the vesting date fair market value of Dominion Energy stock and the applicable federal, state and local tax withholding rates. C ASH ASED ERFORMANCE RANTS Cash-based performance grants are made to Dominion Energy’s officers under Dominion Energy’s LTIP. The actual payout of cash-based performance grants will vary between zero and 200% of the targeted amount based on the level of performance metrics achieved. In February 2016, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the performance grant occurred in January 2018 based on the achievement of two performance metrics during 2016 and 2017: TSR relative to that of companies listed as members of the Philadelphia Utility Index as of the end of the performance period and ROIC. The total of the payout under the grant was $12 million. In February 2017, two cash-based performance grants were made to officers as Dominion Energy transitioned from a two-year two-year two-year In February 2018, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the three-year cash-based performance grant is expected to occur by March 15, 2021 based on the achievement of two performance metrics during 2018, 2019 and 2020: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group and ROIC. There are additional opportunities to earn a portion of the awards based on Dominion Energy’s absolute TSR or relative price-earnings ratio performance. At December 31, 2018, the targeted amount of the three-year grant was $16 million and a liability of $5 million had been accrued for this award. |

Dividend Restrictions | N OTE IVIDEND ESTRICTIONS The Virginia Commission may prohibit any public service company, including Virginia Power, from declaring or paying a dividend to an affiliate if found to be detrimental to the public interest. At December 31, 2018, the Virginia Commission had not restricted the payment of dividends by Virginia Power. The North Carolina Commission, in its order approving the SCANA Combination, limited cumulative dividends payable to Dominion Energy by Virginia Power and PSNC to (i) the amount of retained earnings at closing of the SCANA Combination plus (ii) any future earnings recorded by Virginia Power and PSNC after such date. In addition, notice to the North Carolina Commission is required if payment of dividends causes the equity component of Virginia Power and PSNC’s capital structure to fall below 45%. The Ohio Commission may prohibit any public service company, including East Ohio, from declaring or paying a dividend to an affiliate if found to be detrimental to the public interest. At December 31, 2018, the Ohio Commission had not restricted the payment of dividends by East Ohio. Pursuant to the SCANA Merger Approval Order, the amount of any SCE&G dividends paid must be reasonable and consistent with the long-term payout ratio of the electric utility industry and gas distribution industry. There is no specific restriction on the payment of dividends by SCE&G. The Utah Commission may prohibit any public service company, including Questar Gas, from declaring or paying a dividend to an affiliate if found to be detrimental to the public interest. At December 31, 2018, the Utah Commission had not restricted the payment of dividends by Questar Gas. Certain agreements associated with the Companies’ credit facility contains restrictions on the ratio of debt to total capitalization. These limitations did not restrict the Companies’ ability to pay dividends or receive dividends from their subsidiaries at December 31, 2018. In connection with the SCANA Combination, under the terms of the merger agreement, Dominion Energy could not declare, set aside or pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions (whether in cash, stock or property) in respect of, any of its capital stock, other than regular quarterly cash dividends from January 2018 through January 2019. As part of the merger agreement with Dominion Energy Midstream from November 2018 through January 2019, Dominion Energy could not declare, set aside or pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions (whether in cash, stock or property) in respect of, any of its capital stock, other than regular quarterly cash dividends.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefit Plans | N OTE MPLOYEE ENEFIT LANS Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas—Defined Benefit Plans Dominion Energy provides certain retirement benefits to eligible active employees, retirees and qualifying dependents. Dominion Energy Gas participates in a number of the Dominion Energy-sponsored retirement plans. Under the terms of its benefit plans, Dominion Energy reserves the right to change, modify or terminate the plans. From time to time in the past, benefits have changed, and some of these changes have reduced benefits. Dominion Energy maintains qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering virtually all employees. Retirement benefits are based primarily on years of service, age and the employee’s compensation. Dominion Energy’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that is in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. The pension programs also provide benefits to certain retired executives under company-sponsored nonqualified employee benefit plans. The nonqualified plans are funded through contributions to grantor trusts. Dominion Energy also provides retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits with annual employee premiums based on several factors such as age, retirement date and years of service. Pension benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Dominion Energy that provides benefits to multiple Dominion Energy subsidiaries. Pension benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units are covered by separate pension plans for East Ohio and, for DETI, a plan that provides benefits to employees of both DETI and Hope. Employee compensation is the basis for allocating pension costs and obligations between DETI and Hope and determining East Ohio’s share of total pension costs. Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan, a plan sponsored by Dominion Energy that provides certain retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits to multiple Dominion Energy subsidiaries. Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units are covered by separate other postretirement benefit plans for East Ohio and, for DETI, a plan that provides benefits to both DETI and Hope. Employee headcount is the basis for allocating other postretirement benefit costs and obligations between DETI and Hope and determining East Ohio’s share of total other postretirement benefit costs. Pension and other postretirement benefit costs are affected by employee demographics (including age, compensation levels and years of service), the level of contributions made to the plans and earnings on plan assets. These costs may also be affected by changes in key assumptions, including expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates, healthcare cost trend rates, mortality rates and the rate of compensation increases. Dominion Energy uses December 31 as the measurement date for all of its employee benefit plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. Dominion Energy uses the market-related value of pension plan assets to determine the expected return on plan assets, a component of net periodic pension cost, for all pension plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. The market-related value recognizes changes in fair value on a straight-line basis over a four-year period, which reduces year-to-year Dominion Energy’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans hold investments in trusts to fund employee benefit payments. Dominion Energy’s pension and other postretirement plan assets experienced aggregate actual returns (losses) of $(605) million and $1.6 billion in 2018 and 2017, respectively, versus expected returns of $806 million and $767 million, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ pension and other postretirement plan assets for employees represented by collective bargaining units experienced aggregate actual returns (losses) of $(129) million and $335 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, versus expected returns of $178 million and $165 million, respectively. Differences between actual and expected returns on plan assets are accumulated and amortized during future periods. As such, any investment-related declines in these trusts will result in future increases in the net periodic cost recognized for such employee benefit plans and will be included in the determination of the amount of cash to be contributed to the employee benefit plans. During 2016, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas (for employees represented by collective bargaining units) engaged their actuary to conduct an experience study of their employees demographics over a five-year period as compared to significant assumptions that were being used to determine pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and periodic costs. These assumptions primarily included mortality, retirement rates, termination rates, and salary increase rates. The changes in assumptions implemented as a result of the experience study resulted in increases of $290 million and $38 million in the pension and other postretirement benefits obligations, respectively, at December 31, 2016 for Dominion Energy and $24 million and $9 million in the pension and other postretirement benefits obligations, respectively, at December 31, 2016 for Dominion Energy Gas. In addition, these changes increased net periodic benefit costs $42 million for Dominion Energy during 2017. The increase in net periodic benefit costs for Dominion Energy Gas during 2017 was immaterial. P LAN MENDMENTS AND EMEASUREMENTS In the fourth quarter of 2017, Dominion Energy remeasured its pension and other postretirement benefit plans as a result of voluntary and involuntary separation programs at Dominion Energy Questar. The settlement and related remeasurement resulted in a reduction in the pension benefit obligation of approximately $75 million and an increase in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of approximately $2 million.

The ABO for all of Dominion Energy’s defined benefit pension plans was $7.8 billion and $8.2 billion at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The ABO for the defined benefit pension plans covering Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units was $689 million and $724 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Under its funding policies, Dominion Energy evaluates plan funding requirements annually, usually in the fourth quarter after receiving updated plan information from its actuary. Based on the funded status of each plan and other factors, Dominion Energy determines the amount of contributions for the current year, if any, at that time. During 2018, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas made no contributions to the qualified defined benefit pension plans. Dominion Energy expects to make $21 million of the minimum required contributions in 2019, and no contributions are currently expected in 2019 for Dominion Energy Gas. Certain regulatory authorities have held that amounts recovered in utility customers’ rates for other postretirement benefits, in excess of benefits actually paid during the year, must be deposited in trust funds dedicated for the sole purpose of paying such benefits. Accordingly, certain of Dominion Energy’s subsidiaries, including Dominion Energy Gas, fund other postretirement benefit costs through VEBAs. Dominion Energy’s remaining subsidiaries do not prefund other postretirement benefit costs but instead pay claims as presented. Dominion Energy’s contributions to VEBAs, all of which pertained to Dominion Energy Gas employees, totaled $12 million for both 2018 and 2017, and Dominion Energy expects to contribute approximately $12 million to the Dominion Energy VEBAs in 2019, all of which pertains to Dominion Energy Gas employees. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas do not expect any pension or other postretirement plan assets to be returned during 2019. The following table provides information on the benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets for plans with a benefit obligation in excess of plan assets for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas (for employees represented by collective bargaining units): Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits As of December 31, 2018 2017 2018 2017 (millions) Dominion Energy Benefit obligation $ 7,705 $ 8,209 $164 $191 Fair value of plan assets 5,398 6,103 136 156 Dominion Energy Gas Benefit obligation $ — $ — $134 $157 Fair value of plan assets — — 126 143 The following table provides information on the ABO and fair value of plan assets for Dominion Energy’s pension plans with an ABO in excess of plan assets: As of December 31, 2018 2017 (millions) Accumulated benefit obligation $ 7,056 $ 7,392 Fair value of plan assets 5,398 6,103 The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ (for employees represented by collective bargaining units) plans: Estimated Future Benefit Payments Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits (millions) Dominion Energy 2019 $407 $98 2020 405 99 2021 426 99 2022 442 99 2023 465 98 2024-2028 2,548 461 Dominion Energy Gas 2019 $37 $19 2020 39 19 2021 40 19 2022 42 19 2023 43 19 2024-2028 223 90 P LAN SSETS Dominion Energy’s overall objective for investing its pension and other postretirement plan assets is to achieve appropriate long-term rates of return commensurate with prudent levels of risk. As a participating employer in various pension plans sponsored by Dominion Energy, Dominion Energy Gas is subject to Dominion Energy’s investment policies for such plans. To minimize risk, funds are broadly diversified among asset classes, investment strategies and investment advisors. The strategic target asset allocations for Dominion Energy’s pension funds are 28% U.S. equity, 18% non-U.S. large-cap, mid-cap small-cap Non-U.S. large-cap small-cap non-U.S. Dominion Energy also utilizes common/collective trust funds as an investment vehicle for its defined benefit plans. A common/collective trust fund is a pooled fund operated by a bank or trust company for investment of the assets of various organizations and individuals in a well-diversified portfolio. Common/collective trust funds are funds of grouped assets that follow various investment strategies. Strategic investment policies are established for Dominion Energy’s prefunded benefit plans based upon periodic asset/liability studies. Factors considered in setting the investment policy include employee demographics, liability growth rates, future discount rates, the funded status of the plans and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Deviations from the plans’ strategic allocation are a function of Dominion Energy’s assessments regarding short-term risk and reward opportunities in the capital markets and/or short-term market movements which result in the plans’ actual asset allocations varying from the strategic target asset allocations. Through periodic rebalancing, actual allocations are brought back in line with the target. Future asset/liability studies will focus on strategies to further reduce pension and other postretirement plan risk, while still achieving attractive levels of returns. Financial derivatives may be used to obtain or manage market exposures and to hedge assets and liabilities.

As of December 31, 2017, of the $3.2 billion and $(157) million related to pension benefits and other postretirement benefits, $1.9 billion and $(87) million, respectively, are included in AOCI, with the remainder included in regulatory assets and liabilities. (2) As of December 31, 2018, of the $555 million related to pension benefits, $200 million is included in AOCI, with the remainder included in regulatory assets and liabilities; the $37 million related to other postretirement benefits is included entirely in regulatory assets and liabilities.

Dominion Energy develops non-investment Dominion Energy determines the expected long-term rates of return on plan assets for its pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates, by using a combination of: • Expected inflation and risk-free interest rate assumptions; • Historical return analysis to determine long term historic returns as well as historic risk premiums for various asset classes; • Expected future risk premiums, asset classes’ volatilities and correlations; • Forward-looking return expectations derived from the yield on long-term bonds and the expected long-term returns of major capital market assumptions; and • Investment allocation of plan assets. Dominion Energy determines discount rates from analyses of AA/Aa rated bonds with cash flows matching the expected payments to be made under its plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. Mortality rates are developed from actual and projected plan experience for postretirement benefit plans. Dominion Energy’s actuary conducts an experience study periodically as part of the process to select its best estimate of mortality. Dominion Energy considers both standard mortality tables and improvement factors as well as the plans’ actual experience when selecting a best estimate. During 2016, Dominion Energy conducted a new experience study as scheduled and, as a result, updated its mortality assumptions for all its plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for Dominion Energy’s retiree healthcare plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. A one percentage point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have had the following effects for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ (for employees represented by collective bargaining units) other postretirement benefit plans: Other Postretirement Benefits One percentage point increase One percentage point decrease (millions) Dominion Energy Effect on net periodic cost for 2019 $ 20 $ (16) Effect on other postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2018 130 (110) Dominion Energy Gas Effect on net periodic cost for 2019 $ 4 $ (3) Effect on other postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2018 25 (22) Dominion Energy Gas (Employees Not Represented by Collective Bargaining Units) and Virginia Power—Participation in Defined Benefit Plans Virginia Power employees and Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Pension Plan described above. As participating employers, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas are subject to Dominion Energy’s funding policy, which is to contribute annually an amount that is in accordance with ERISA. During 2018, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas made no contributions to the Dominion Energy Pension Plan, and no contributions to this plan are currently expected in 2019. Virginia Power’s net periodic pension cost related to this plan was $126 million, $110 million and $79 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ net periodic pension credit related to this plan was $(38) million, $(37) million and $(45) million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net periodic pension (credit) cost is reflected in other operations and maintenance expense in their respective Consolidated Statements of Income. The funded status of various Dominion Energy subsidiary groups and employee compensation are the basis for determining the share of total pension costs for participating Dominion Energy subsidiaries. See Note 24 for Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas amounts due to/from Dominion Energy related to this plan. Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits, for Virginia Power employees and for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units, are covered by the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan described above. Virginia Power’s net periodic benefit (credit) cost related to this plan was $(51) million, $(42) million and $(29) million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ net periodic benefit (credit) cost related to this plan was $(7) million, $(5) million and $(4) million for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net periodic benefit (credit) cost is reflected in other operations and maintenance expenses in their respective Consolidated Statements of Income. Employee headcount is the basis for determining the share of total other postretirement benefit costs for participating Dominion Energy subsidiaries. See Note 24 for Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas amounts due to/from Dominion Energy related to this plan. Dominion Energy holds investments in trusts to fund employee benefit payments for the pension and other postretirement benefit plans in which Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ employees participate. Any investment-related declines in these trusts will result in future increases in the net periodic cost recognized for such employee benefit plans and will be included in the determination of the amount of cash that Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas will provide to Dominion Energy for their shares of employee benefit plan contributions. Certain regulatory authorities have held that amounts recovered in rates for other postretirement benefits, in excess of benefits actually paid during the year, must be deposited in trust funds dedicated for the sole purpose of paying such benefits. Accordingly, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas fund other postretirement benefit costs through VEBAs. During 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power made no contributions to the VEBA and does not expect to contribute to the VEBA in 2019. Dominion Energy Gas made no contributions to the VEBAs for employees not represented by collective bargaining units during 2018 and 2017 and does not expect to contribute in 2019. Defined Con |

Commitments And Contingencies | N OTE OMMITMENTS ND ONTINGENCIES 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. A IR CAA The CAA, as amended, is a comprehensive program utilizing a broad range of regulatory tools to protect and preserve the nation’s air quality. At a minimum, states are required to establish regulatory programs to address all requirements of the CAA. However, states may choose to develop regulatory programs that are more restrictive. Many of the Companies’ facilities are subject to the CAA’s permitting and other requirements. MATS The MATS rule requires coal- and oil-fired In June 2017, the DOE issued an order to PJM to direct Virginia Power to operate Yorktown power station’s Units 1 and 2 as needed to avoid reliability issues on the Virginia Peninsula. The order was effective for 90 days and can be reissued upon PJM’s request, if necessary, until required electricity transmission upgrades are completed. Beginning in August 2017, PJM filed requests for 90-day In December 2018, the EPA issued a proposed rule to reverse its previous finding that it is appropriate and necessary to regulate toxic emissions from power plants. However, the emissions standards and other requirements of the MATS rule would remain in place as the EPA is not proposing to remove coal and oil fired power plants from the list of sources that are regulated under MATS. Although litigation of the MATS rule and the outcome of the EPA’s rulemaking are still pending, the regulation remains in effect and Virginia Power is complying with the applicable requirements of the rule and does not expect any adverse impacts to its operations at this time. Ozone Standards In October 2015, the EPA issued a final rule tightening the ozone standard from 75-ppb 70-ppb. X X X mid-2019 X non-catalytic X gas-fired The EPA published final non-attainment NO x In April 2016, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection issued final regulations, with an effective date of January 2017, to reduce NO X Oil and Gas NSPS In August 2012, the EPA issued an NSPS impacting new and modified facilities in the natural gas production and gathering sectors and made revisions to the NSPS for natural gas processing and transmission facilities. These rules establish equipment performance specifications and emissions standards for control of VOC emissions for natural gas production wells, tanks, pneumatic controllers, and compressors in the upstream sector. In June 2016, the EPA issued a new NSPS regulation, for the oil and natural gas sector, to regulate methane and VOC emissions from new and modified facilities in transmission and storage, gathering and boosting, production and processing facilities. All projects which commenced construction after September 2015 are required to comply with this regulation. In October 2018, the EPA published a proposed rule reconsidering and amending portions of the 2016 rule, including but not limited to, the fugitive emissions requirements at well sites and compressor stations. Until the proposed rule is final, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are implementing the 2016 regulation. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are still evaluating whether potential impacts on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows related to this matter will be material. GHG R EGULATION 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, 2 In addition, the EPA continues to evaluate its policy regarding the consideration of CO 2 Methane Emissions In July 2015, the EPA announced the next generation of its voluntary Natural Gas STAR Program, the Natural Gas STAR Methane Challenge Program. The program covers the entire natural gas sector from production to distribution, with more emphasis on transparency and increased reporting for both annual emissions and reductions achieved through implementation measures. In March 2016, East Ohio, Hope, DETI and Questar Gas joined the EPA as founding partners in the new Methane Challenge program and submitted implementation plans in September 2016. Wexpro, DECG and Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline joined the Methane Challenge in 2018. DECG joined the EPA’s voluntary Natural Gas STAR Program in July 2016 and submitted an implementation plan in September 2016 with Questar Gas and Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline joining in 2018. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas do not expect the costs related to these programs to have a material impact on their results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. W ATER 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. 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 case-by-case In September 2015, the EPA released a final rule to revise the Effluent Limitations Guidelines for the Steam Electric Power Generating Category. The final rule establishes updated standards for wastewater discharges that apply primarily at coal and oil steam generating stations. Affected facilities are required to convert from wet to dry or closed cycle coal ash management, improve existing wastewater treatment systems and/or install new wastewater treatment technologies in order to meet the new discharge limits. In April 2017, the EPA granted two separate petitions for reconsideration of the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule and stayed future compliance dates in the rule. Also in April 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted the U.S.’s request for a stay of the pending consolidated litigation challenging the rule while the EPA addresses the petitions for reconsideration. In September 2017, the EPA signed a rule to postpone the earliest compliance dates for certain waste streams regulations in the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule from November 2018 to November 2020; however, the latest date for compliance for these regulations remains December 2023. The EPA is proposing to complete new rulemaking for these waste streams. While the impacts of this rule could be material to Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power. W ASTE ANAGEMENT AND EMEDIATION The CERCLA, as amended, provides for immediate response and removal actions coordinated by the EPA in the event of threatened releases of hazardous substances into the environment and authorizes the U.S. government either to clean up sites at which hazardous substances have created actual or potential environmental hazards or to order persons responsible for the situation to do so. Under the CERCLA, as amended, generators and transporters of hazardous substances, as well as past and present owners and operators of contaminated sites, can be jointly, severally and strictly liable for the cost of cleanup. These potentially responsible parties can be ordered to perform a cleanup, be sued for costs associated with an EPA-directed From time to time, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power, or Dominion Energy Gas may be identified as a potentially responsible party to a Superfund site. The EPA (or a state) can either allow such a party to conduct and pay for a remedial investigation, feasibility study and remedial action or conduct the remedial investigation and action itself and then seek reimbursement from the potentially responsible parties. These parties can also bring contribution actions against each other and seek reimbursement from their insurance companies. As a result, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power, or Dominion Energy Gas may be responsible for the costs of remedial investigation and actions under the Superfund law or other laws or regulations regarding the remediation of waste. The Companies do not believe these matters will have a material effect on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Dominion Energy has determined that it is associated with 22 former manufactured gas plant sites, three of which pertain to Virginia Power and 12 of which pertain to Dominion Energy Gas. Studies conducted by other utilities at their former manufactured gas plant sites have indicated that those sites contain coal tar and other potentially harmful materials. None of the former sites with which the Companies are associated is under investigation by any state or federal environmental agency. At one of the former sites, Dominion Energy is conducting a state-approved post closure groundwater monitoring program and an environmental land use restriction has been recorded. In addition, a Virginia Power site has been accepted into a state-based voluntary remediation program. In June 2018, Virginia Power submitted a proposed remedial action plan to remove material from this site at an estimated cost of $18 million. Pending VDEQ approval, Virginia Power expects to begin remedial work at this site in mid-2019. after-tax) See below for discussion on ash pond and landfill closure costs. 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. A PPALACHIAN ATEWAY Pipeline Contractor Litigation Following the completion of the Appalachian Gateway project in 2012, DETI received multiple change order requests and other claims for additional payments from a pipeline contractor for the project. In July 2015, the contractor filed a complaint against DETI in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. In March 2016, the Pennsylvania court granted DETI’s motion to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. In July 2016, DETI filed a motion to dismiss. In March 2017, the court dismissed three of eight counts in the complaint. In May 2017, the contractor withdrew one of the counts in the complaint. In November 2017, DETI and the contractor entered into a partial settlement agreement for a release of certain claims. In August 2018, DETI paid $14 million in accordance with the terms of a settlement agreement reached between the parties, resolving this matter. Gas Producers Litigation In connection with the Appalachian Gateway project, Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc. entered into contracts for firm purchase rights with a group of small gas producers. In June 2016, the gas producers filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia against Dominion Energy, DETI and Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc., among other defendants, claiming that the contracts are unenforceable and seeking compensatory and punitive damages. During the third quarter of 2016, Dominion Energy, DETI and Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc. were served with the complaint. Also in the third quarter of 2016, Dominion Energy and DETI, with the consent of the other defendants, removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. In October 2016, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss and the plaintiffs filed a motion to remand. In February 2017, the U.S. District Court entered an order remanding the matter to the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia. In March 2017, Dominion Energy was voluntarily dismissed from the case; however, DETI and Dominion Energy Field Services, Inc. remain parties to the matter. In April 2017, the case was transferred to the Business Court Division of West Virginia. In January 2018, the court granted the motion to dismiss filed by the defendants on two counts. Claims are pending in the Business Court Division of West Virginia. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas cannot currently estimate financial statement impacts, but there could be a material impact to their financial condition and/or cash flows. A SH OND AND ANDFILL LOSURE OSTS In March 2015, the Sierra Club filed a lawsuit alleging CWA violations at Chesapeake power station. In March 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ruled that impacted groundwater associated with the on-site on-site In April 2015, the EPA enacted a final rule regulating CCR landfills, existing ash ponds that still receive and manage CCRs, and inactive ash ponds that do not receive, but still store, CCRs. Dominion Energy currently operates inactive ash ponds, existing ash ponds and CCR landfills subject to the final rule at 11 different facilities, eight of which are at Virginia Power. This rule created a legal obligation for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power to retrofit or close all of its inactive and existing ash ponds over a certain period of time, as well as perform required monitoring, corrective action, and post-closure care activities as necessary. In 2015, Virginia Power recorded a $386 million ARO related to future ash pond and landfill closure costs. In 2016, Virginia Power recorded an increase to this ARO of $238 million, which resulted in a $197 million incremental charge recorded in other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income, a $17 million increase in property, plant and equipment and a $24 million increase in regulatory assets. In December 2016, legislation was enacted that creates a framework for EPA- In April 2017, the Governor of Virginia signed legislation into law that places a moratorium on the VDEQ issuing solid waste permits for closure of ash ponds at Virginia Power’s Bremo, Chesapeake, Chesterfield and Possum Point power stations until May 2018. The law also required Virginia Power to conduct an assessment of closure alternatives for the ash ponds at these four stations, to include an evaluation of excavation for recycling or off-site on-site, after-tax) C OVE OINT In September 2014, FERC issued an order granting authorization for Cove Point to construct, modify and operate the Liquefaction Project at the Cove Point facility, which enables the facility to liquefy domestically-produced natural gas and export it as LNG. In March 2018, Cove Point received authorization from FERC to commence service of the Liquefaction Project, which commenced commercial operations in April 2018. Two parties have separately filed petitions for review of the FERC order in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which petitions were consolidated. In July 2016, the court denied one party’s petition for review of the FERC order authorizing the Liquefaction Project. The court also issued a decision remanding the other party’s petition for review of the FERC order to FERC for further explanation of FERC’s decision that a previous transaction with an existing import shipper was not unduly discriminatory. In September 2017, FERC issued its order on remand from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and reaffirmed its ruling in its prior orders that Cove Point did not violate the prohibition against undue discrimination by agreeing to a capacity reduction and early contract termination with the existing import shipper. In October 2017, the party filed a request for rehearing of the FERC order on remand. In August 2018, FERC issued its rehearing order affirming and clarifying its previous orders. No appeals were filed and FERC’s orders are final and no longer subject to further review. FERC FERC staff in the Office of Enforcement, Division of Investigations, conducted a non-public day-ahead Nuclear Matters In March 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami caused significant damage at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station in northeast Japan. These events have resulted in significant nuclear safety reviews required by the NRC and industry groups such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations. Like other U.S. nuclear operators, Dominion Energy has been gathering supporting data and participating in industry initiatives focused on the ability to respond to and mitigate the consequences of design-basis and beyond-design-basis events at its stations. In July 2011, an NRC task force provided initial recommendations based on its review of the Fukushima Daiichi accident and in October 2011 the NRC staff prioritized these recommendations into Tiers 1, 2 and 3, with the Tier 1 recommendations consisting of actions which the staff determined should be started without unnecessary delay. In December 2011, the NRC Commissioners approved the agency staff’s prioritization and recommendations, and that same month an appropriations act directed the NRC to require reevaluation of external hazards (not limited to seismic and flooding hazards) as soon as possible. Based on the prioritized recommendations, in March 2012, the NRC issued orders and information requests requiring specific reviews and actions to all operating reactors, construction permit holders and combined license holders based on the lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi event. The orders applicable to Dominion Energy requiring implementation of safety enhancements related to mitigation strategies to respond to extreme natural events resulting in the loss of power at plants, and enhancing spent fuel pool instrumentation have been implemented. The information requests issued by the NRC request each reactor to reevaluate the seismic and external flooding hazards at their site using present-day Nuclear Operations N UCLEAR ECOMMISSIONING INIMUM INANCIAL SSURANCE The NRC requires nuclear power plant owners to annually update minimum financial assurance amounts for the future decommissioning of their nuclear facilities. Decommissioning involves the decontamination and removal of radioactive contaminants from a nuclear power station once operations have ceased, in accordance with standards established by the NRC. The 2018 calculation for the NRC minimum financial assurance amount, aggregated for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear units, excluding joint owners’ assurance amounts and Millstone Unit 1 and Kewaunee, as those units are in a decommissioning state, was $2.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, and has been satisfied by a combination of the funds being collected and deposited in the nuclear decommissioning trusts and the real annual rate of return growth of the funds allowed by the NRC. The 2018 NRC minimum financial assurance amounts above were calculated using preliminary December 31, 2018 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indices. Dominion Energy believes that the amounts currently available in its decommissioning trusts and their expected earnings will be sufficient to cover expected decommissioning costs for the Millstone and Kewaunee units. Virginia Power also believes that the decommissioning funds and their expected earnings for the Surry and North Anna units will be sufficient to cover decommissioning costs, particularly when combined with future ratepayer collections and contributions to these decommissioning trusts, if such future collections and contributions are required. This reflects a positive long-term outlook for trust fund investment returns as the decommissioning of the units will not be complete for decades. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power will continue to monitor these trusts to ensure they meet the NRC minimum financial assurance requirement, which may include, if needed, the use of parent company guarantees, surety bonding or other financial instruments recognized by the NRC. See Note 9 for additional information on nuclear decommissioning trust investments. N UCLEAR NSURANCE The Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988 provides the public with liability protection on a per site, per nuclear incident basis, via obligations required of owners of nuclear power plants, and allows for an inflationary provision adjustment every five years. During the second quarter of 2018, the total liability protection per nuclear incident available to all participants in the Secondary Financial Protection Program decreased from $13.4 billion to $13.1 billion. During the fourth quarter of 2018, this amount increased from $13.1 billion to $14.1 billion. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have purchased $450 million of coverage from commercial insurance pools for Millstone, Surry and North Anna with the remainder provided through the mandatory industry retrospective rating plan. In the event of a nuclear incident at any licensed nuclear reactor in the U.S., Dominion Energy and Virginia Power could be assessed up to $138 million for each of their licensed reactors not to exceed $21 million per year per reactor. There is no limit to the number of incidents for which this retrospective premium can be assessed. The NRC granted an exemption in March 2015 to remove Kewaunee from the Secondary Financial Protection program. This same exemption permitted Dominion Energy to reduce Kewaunee’s required level of liability coverage to $100 million. This reduction was implemented in January 2018, following the removal and storage of the spent nuclear fuel from the spent fuel pool. The current levels of nuclear property insurance coverage for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear units are as follows: Coverage (billions) Dominion Energy Millstone $ 1.70 Kewaunee 0.05 Virginia Power (1) Surry $ 1.70 North Anna 1.70 (1) Surry and North Anna share a blanket property limit of $200 million. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear property insurance coverage for Millstone, Surry and North Anna exceeds the NRC minimum requirement for nuclear power plant licensees of $1.06 billion per reactor site. In March 2015, the NRC granted an exemption which allowed Kewaunee to reduce its property insurance limit to $50 million. This reduction was implemented in January 2018, following the removal and storage of the spent nuclear fuel from the spent fuel pool. This includes coverage for premature decommissioning and functional total loss. The NRC requires that the proceeds from this insurance be used first, to return the reactor to and maintain it in a safe and stable condition and second, to decontaminate the reactor and station site in accordance with a plan approved by the NRC. Nuclear property insurance is provided by NEIL, a mutual insurance company, and is subject to retrospective premium assessments in any policy year in which losses exceed the funds available to the insurance company. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s maximum retrospective premium assessment for the current policy period is $83 million and $51 million, respectively. Based on the severity of the incident, the Board of Directors of the nuclear insurer has the discretion to lower or eliminate the maximum retrospective premium assessment. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have the financial responsibility for any losses that exceed the limits or for which insurance proceeds are not available because they must first be used for stabilization and decontamination. Millstone and Virginia Power also purchase accidental outage insurance from NEIL to mitigate certain expenses, including replacement power costs, associated with the prolonged outage of a nuclear unit due to direct physical damage. Under this program, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are subject to a retrospective premium assessment for any policy year in which losses exceed funds available to NEIL. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s maximum retrospective premium assessment for the current policy period is $21 million and $10 million, respectively. ODEC, a part owner of North Anna, and Massachusetts Municipal and Green Mountain, part owners of Millstone’s Unit 3, are responsible to Dominion Energy and Virginia Power for their share of the nuclear decommissioning obligation and insurance premiums on applicable units, including any retrospective premium assessments and any losses not covered by insurance. S PENT UCLEAR UEL Dominion Energy and Virginia Power entered into contracts with the DOE for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel under provisions of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. The DOE failed to begin accepting the spent fuel on January 31, 1998, the date provided by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act and by Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s contracts with the DOE. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have previously received damages award payments and settlement payments related to these contracts. By mutual agreement of the parties, the settlement agreements are extendable to provide for resolution of damages incurred after 2013. The settlement agreements for the Surry, North Anna and Millstone nuclear power stations have been extended to provide for periodic payments for damages incurred through December 31, 2019. In June 2018, a lawsuit for Kewaunee was filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for recovery of spent nuclear fuel storage costs incurred for the period January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2017. This matter is pending. In 2018, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy received payments of $16 million for resolution of claims incurred at North Anna and Surry for the period of January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, and $13 million for resolution of claims incurred at Millstone for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. In 2017, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy received payments of $22 million for resolution of claims incurred at North Anna and Surry for the period of January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, and $14 million for resolution of claims incurred at Millstone for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. In 2016, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy received payments of $30 million for resolution of claims incurred at North Anna and Surry for the period of January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, and $22 million for resolution of claims incurred at Millstone for the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power continue to recognize receivables for certain spent nuclear fuel-related costs that they believe are probable of recovery from the DOE. Dominion Energy’s receivables for spent nuclear fuel-related costs totaled $49 million and $46 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Virginia Power’s receivables for spent nuclear fuel-related costs totaled $30 million at both December 31, 2018 and 2017. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power will continue to manage their spent fuel until it is accepted by the DOE. Long-Term Purchase Agreements At December 31, 2018, Virginia Power had the following long-term commitments that are noncancelable or are cancelable only under certain conditions, and that a third party has used to secure financing for the facility that will provide the contracted goods or services: 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Thereafter Total (millions) Purchased electric capacity (1) $ 60 $ 52 $ 46 $ — $ — $ — $ 158 (1) Commitments represent estimated amounts payable for capacity under power purchase contracts with independent power producers, which end in 2021. Capacity payments under the contracts are generally based on fixed dollar amounts per month, subject to escalation using broad based economic indices. At December 31, 2018, the present value of Virginia Power’s total commitment for capacity payments is $142 million. Capacity payments totaled $50 million, $114 million and $248 million, and energy payments totaled $42 million, $72 million and $126 million for the years ended 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Lease Commitments The Companies lease real estate, vehicles and equipment primarily under operating leases. Payments under certain leases are escalated based on an index such as the consumer price index. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases that have initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2018 are as follows: 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Thereafter Total (millions) Dominion Energy $ 64 $ 61 $ 55 $ 47 $ 38 $ 384 $ 649 Virginia Power 34 32 28 22 16 106 238 Dominion Energy Gas 12 11 9 7 4 3 46 Rental expense for Dominion Energy totaled $109 million, $113 million, and $104 million for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Rental expense for Virginia Power totaled $63 million, $57 million, and $52 million for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Rental expense for Dominion Energy Gas totaled $22 million, $34 million, and $37 million for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The majority of rental expense is reflected in other operations and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In July 2016, Dominion Energy signed an agreement with a lessor to construct and lease a new corporate office property in Richmond, Virginia. The lessor is providing equity and has obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $365 million, to fund the estimated project costs. The project is expected to be completed by mid-2019. The five-year lease term will commence once construction is substantially complete and the facility is able to be occupied. At the end of the initial lease term, Dominion Energy can (i) extend the term of the lease for an additional five years, subject to the approval of the participants, at current market terms, (ii) purchase the property for an amount equal to the project costs or, (iii) subject to certain terms and conditions, sell the property on behalf of the lessor to a t |

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
Credit Risk | N OTE REDIT ISK Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations. In order to minimize overall credit risk, credit policies are maintained, including the evaluation of counterparty financial condition, collateral requirements and the use of standardized agreements that facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty. In addition, counterparties may make available collateral, including letters of credit or cash held as margin deposits, as a result of exceeding agreed-upon credit limits, or may be required to prepay the transaction. The Companies maintain a provision for credit losses based on factors surrounding the credit risk of their customers, historical trends and other information. Management believes, based on credit policies and the December 31, 2018 provision for credit losses, that it is unlikely that a material adverse effect on financial position, results of operations or cash flows would occur as a result of counterparty nonperformance. General D OMINION NERGY As a diversified energy company, Dominion Energy transacts primarily with major companies in the energy industry and with commercial and residential energy consumers. These transactions principally occur in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, Dominion Energy’s exposure to credit risk is concentrated primarily within its energy marketing and price risk management activities, as Dominion Energy transacts with a smaller, less diverse group of counterparties and transactions may involve large notional volumes and potentially volatile commodity prices. Energy marketing and price risk management activities include marketing of merchant generation output, structured transactions and the use of financial contracts for enterprise-wide hedging purposes. Gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- off-balance non-investment V IRGINIA OWER Virginia Power sells electricity and provides distribution and transmission services to customers in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Management believes that this geographic concentration risk is mitigated by the diversity of Virginia Power’s customer base, which includes residential, commercial and industrial customers, as well as rural electric cooperatives and municipalities. Credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable from energy consumers is limited due to the large number of customers. Virginia Power’s exposure to potential concentrations of credit risk results primarily from sales to wholesale customers. Virginia Power’s gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- off-balance D OMINION NERGY AS Dominion Energy Gas transacts mainly with major companies in the energy industry and with residential and commercial energy consumers. These transactions principally occur in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic on- off-balance non-investment In 2018, DETI provided service to 307 customers with approximately 96% of its storage and transportation revenue being provided through firm services. The ten largest customers provided approximately 38% of the total storage and transportation revenue and the thirty largest provided approximately 71% of the total storage and transportation revenue. East Ohio distributes natural gas to residential, commercial and industrial customers in Ohio using rates established by the Ohio Commission. Approximately 99% of East Ohio revenues are derived from its regulated gas distribution services. East Ohio’s bad debt risk is mitigated by the regulatory framework established by the Ohio Commission. See Note 13 for further information about Ohio’s PIPP and UEX Riders that mitigate East Ohio’s overall credit risk. Credit-Related Contingent Provisions The majority of Dominion Energy’s derivative instruments contain credit-related contingent provisions. These provisions require Dominion Energy to provide collateral upon the occurrence of specific events, primarily a credit rating downgrade. If the credit-related contingent features underlying these instruments that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash were fully triggered as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy would have been required to post an additional $1 million and $62 million, respectively, of collateral to its counterparties. The collateral that would be required to be posted includes the impacts of any offsetting asset positions and any amounts already posted for derivatives, non-derivative |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related-Party Transactions | N OTE ELATED PARTY RANSACTIONS Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas engage in related party transactions primarily with other Dominion Energy subsidiaries (affiliates). Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ receivable and payable balances with affiliates are settled based on contractual terms or on a monthly basis, depending on the nature of the underlying transactions. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas are included in Dominion Energy’s consolidated federal income tax return and, where applicable, combined income tax returns for Dominion Energy are filed in various states. See Note 2 for further information. Dominion Energy’s transactions with equity method investments are described in Note 9. A discussion of significant related party transactions follows. V IRGINIA OWER 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. See Notes 7 and 19 for more information. As of December 31, 2018, Virginia Power’s derivative assets and liabilities with affiliates were $26 million and $10 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, Virginia Power’s derivative assets and liabilities with affiliates were $11 million and $5 million, respectively. Virginia Power participates in certain Dominion Energy benefit plans as described in Note 21. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power’s amounts due to Dominion Energy associated with the Dominion Energy Pension Plan and reflected in noncurrent pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $632 million and $505 million, respectively. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power’s amounts due from Dominion Energy associated with the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan and reflected in noncurrent pension and other postretirement benefit assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $254 million and $199 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.

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, expenses and cash flows for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |

Consolidation, consolidated entities and noncontrolling interest | For certain partnership structures, income is allocated based on the liquidation value of the underlying contractual arrangements. At December 31, 2018, 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 rights to control operations. In August 2018, NRG’s ownership interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars was transferred to GIP.

Operating Revenue | Operating Revenue Operating revenue is recorded on the basis of services rendered, commodities delivered or contracts settled and includes amounts yet to be billed to customers. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power collect sales, consumption and consumer utility taxes and Dominion Energy Gas collects sales taxes; however, these amounts are excluded from revenue. Dominion Energy’s customer receivables at December 31, 2018 and 2017 included $626 million and $661 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of electricity and natural gas delivered but not yet billed to its utility customers. Virginia Power’s customer receivables at December 31, 2018 and 2017 included $392 million and $400 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of electricity delivered but not yet billed to its customers. Dominion Energy Gas’ customer receivables at December 31, 2018 and 2017 included $131 million and $121 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of natural gas delivered but not yet billed to its customers. See Note 24 for amounts attributable to related parties. The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: R EVENUE FROM ONTRACTS WITH USTOMERS • Regulated electric sales • Nonregulated electric sales • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Regulated gas transportation and storage sales • Nonregulated gas transportation and storage sales • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue O THER EVENUE • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated electric sales • Nonregulated electric sales • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Gas transportation and storage sales • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Virginia Power, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: R EVENUE FROM ONTRACTS WITH USTOMERS • Regulated electric sales • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue non-jurisdictional O THER EVENUE • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Virginia Power, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated electric sales • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy Gas, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: R EVENUE FROM ONTRACTS WITH USTOMERS • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Regulated gas transportation and storage sales • NGL revenue • Management service revenue • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue O THER EVENUE • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy Gas, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Gas transportation and storage sales • NGL revenue • Other revenue Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record refunds to customers as required by state commissions as a reduction to regulated electric sales or regulated gas sales, as applicable. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s revenue accounted for under the alternative revenue program guidance primarily consists of the equity return for under-recovery of certain riders. Alternative revenue programs compensate Dominion Energy and Virginia Power for certain projects and initiatives. Revenues arising from these programs are presented separately from revenue arising from contracts with customers in the categories above. Revenues from electric and gas sales are recognized over time, as the customers of the Companies consume gas and electricity as it is delivered. Transportation and storage contracts are primarily stand-ready service contracts that include fixed reservation and variable usage fees. LNG terminalling services are also stand-ready service contracts, primarily consisting of fixed fees, offset by service credits associated with the start-up Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas typically receive or retain NGLs and natural gas from customers when providing natural gas processing, transportation or storage services. The revised guidance for revenue from contracts with customers requires entities to include the fair value of the noncash consideration in the transaction price. Therefore, subsequent to the adoption of the revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas record the fair value of NGLs received during natural gas processing as service revenue recognized over time, and continue to recognize revenue from the subsequent sale of the NGLs to customers upon delivery. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas typically retain natural gas under certain transportation service arrangements that are intended to facilitate performance of the service and allow for natural losses that occur. As the intent of the allowance is to enable fulfillment of the contract rather than to provide compensation for services, the fuel allowance is not included in revenue. |
Electric Fuel, Purchased Energy and Purchased Gas-Deferred Costs | Electric Fuel, Purchased Energy and Purchased Gas-Deferred Where permitted by regulatory authorities, the differences between Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s actual electric fuel and purchased energy expenses and Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ purchased gas expenses and the related levels of recovery for these expenses in current rates are deferred and matched against recoveries in future periods. The deferral of costs in excess of current period fuel rate recovery is recognized as a regulatory asset, while rate recovery in excess of current period fuel expenses is recognized as a regulatory liability. Of the cost of fuel used in electric generation and energy purchases to serve utility customers, at December 31, 2018, approximately 84% is subject to deferred fuel accounting, while substantially all of the remaining amount is subject to recovery through similar mechanisms. Virtually all of Dominion Energy Gas, Cove Point, Questar Gas, Hope and SCE&G and PSNC’s, following the SCANA Combination, natural gas purchases are either subject to deferral accounting or are recovered from the customer in the same accounting period as the sale. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes A consolidated federal income tax return is filed for Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ subsidiaries. In addition, where applicable, combined income tax returns for Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries are filed in various states; otherwise, separate state income tax returns are filed. Although Dominion Energy Gas is disregarded for income tax purposes, a provision for income taxes is recognized to reflect the inclusion of its business activities in the tax returns of its parent, Dominion Energy. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas participate in intercompany tax sharing agreements with Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries. Current income taxes are based on taxable income or loss and credits determined on a separate company basis. Under the agreements, if a subsidiary incurs a tax loss or earns a credit, recognition of current income tax benefits is limited to refunds of prior year taxes obtained by the carryback of the net operating loss or credit or to the extent the tax loss or credit is absorbed by the taxable income of other Dominion Energy consolidated group members. Otherwise, the net operating loss or credit is carried forward and is recognized as a deferred tax asset until realized. The 2017 Tax Reform Act included a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting the Companies, including changes in corporate tax rates and business deductions. The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduces the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are realized or settled. Thus, at the date of enactment, federal deferred taxes were remeasured based upon the new 21% tax rate. The total effect of tax rate changes on deferred tax balances was recorded as a component of the income tax provision related to continuing operations for the period in which the law is enacted, even if the assets and liabilities relate to other components of the financial statements, such as items of accumulated other comprehensive income. For Dominion Energy subsidiaries that are not rate-regulated utilities, existing deferred income tax assets or liabilities were adjusted for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate and allocated to continuing operations. Dominion Energy’s rate-regulated utility subsidiaries likewise were required to adjust deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the change in income tax rates. However, if it is probable that the effect of the change in income tax rates will be recovered or refunded in future rates, the regulated utility recorded a regulatory asset or liability instead of an increase or decrease to deferred income tax expense. Accounting for income taxes involves an asset and liability approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided, representing future effects on income taxes for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Accordingly, deferred taxes are recognized for the future consequences of different treatments used for the reporting of transactions in financial accounting and income tax returns. The Companies establish a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not The Companies recognize positions taken, or expected to be taken, in income tax returns that are more-likely-than-not If it is not more-likely-than-not The Companies recognize interest on underpayments and overpayments of income taxes in interest expense and other income, respectively. Penalties are also recognized in other income. Interest for the Companies was immaterial in 2018 and 2016. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power both recognized interest income of $11 million in 2017. Dominion Energy Gas’ interest was immaterial in 2017. Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ penalties were immaterial in 2018, 2017 and 2016. At December 31, 2018, Virginia Power had an income tax-related In addition, Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 included $13 million of state income taxes receivable. State income taxes receivable at Virginia Power were immaterial at December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2017, Virginia Power had an income tax-related In addition, Virginia Power’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017 included $1 million of noncurrent federal income taxes receivable, less than $1 million of state income taxes receivable and $1 million of noncurrent state income taxes receivable. Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017 included $14 million of state income taxes receivable. Investment tax credits are recognized by nonregulated operations in the year qualifying property is placed in service. For regulated operations, investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the service lives of the properties giving rise to the credits. Production tax credits are recognized as energy is generated and sold. |
Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents | Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents Cash, restricted cash and equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and temporary investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Current banking arrangements generally do not require checks to be funded until they are presented for payment. The following table illustrates the checks outstanding but not yet presented for payment and recorded in accounts payable for the Companies: At December 31, 2018 2017 (millions) Dominion Energy $ 35 $ 30 Virginia Power 16 17 Dominion Energy Gas 7 7 R ESTRICTED ASH AND QUIVALENTS The Companies hold restricted cash and equivalent balances that primarily consist of amounts held for customer deposits, future debt payments on SBL Holdco and Dominion Solar Projects III, Inc.’s term loan agreements and on Eagle Solar’s senior note agreement. The following table provides a reconciliation of the total cash, restricted cash and equivalents reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets to the corresponding amounts reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016: Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents at December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, (millions) Dominion Energy Cash and cash equivalents $ 268 $ 120 $ 261 $ 607 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 123 65 61 25 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 391 $ 185 $ 322 $ 632 Virginia Power Cash and cash equivalents $ 29 $ 14 $ 11 $ 18 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 9 10 — — Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 38 $ 24 $ 11 $ 18 Dominion Energy Gas Cash and cash equivalents $ 10 $ 4 $ 23 $ 13 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 24 26 20 14 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 34 $ 30 $ 43 $ 27 (1) Restricted cash and equivalent balances are presented within other current assets in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. D ISTRIBUTIONS FROM QUITY ETHOD NVESTEES Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas each hold investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas classify distributions from equity method investees as either cash flows from operating activities or cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows according to the nature of the distribution. Distributions received are classified on the basis of the nature of the activity of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as cash flows from operating activities) or a return of an investment (classified as cash flows from investing activities) when such information is available to Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Companies are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products they market and purchase, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of their business operations. Dominion Energy uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage the commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of its business operations. Virginia Power uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage commodity and interest rate risks. Dominion Energy Gas uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures and swaps to manage commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks. All derivatives, except those for which an exception applies, are required to be reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Derivative contracts representing unrealized gain positions and purchased options are reported as derivative assets. Derivative contracts representing unrealized losses and options sold are reported as derivative liabilities. One of the exceptions to fair value accounting, normal purchases and normal sales, may be elected when the contract satisfies certain criteria, including a requirement that physical delivery of the underlying commodity is probable. Expenses and revenues resulting from deliveries under normal purchase contracts and normal sales contracts, respectively, are included in earnings at the time of contract performance. The Companies do not offset amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. Dominion Energy had margin assets of $95 million and $92 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dominion Energy’s margin liabilities associated with cash collateral were less than $1 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017. Virginia Power had margin assets of $23 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2017. Virginia Power had no margin assets associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and no margin liabilities associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and 2017. Dominion Energy Gas had no margin assets or liabilities associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and 2017. See Note 7 for further information about derivatives. To manage price risk, the Companies hold certain derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. However, to the extent the Companies do not hold offsetting positions for such derivatives, they believe these instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate their exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. All income statement activity, including amounts realized upon settlement, is presented in operating revenue, operating expenses, interest and related charges or other income based on the nature of the underlying risk. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments result in the recognition of regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities for jurisdictions subject to cost-based rate regulation. Realized gains or losses on the derivative instruments are generally recognized when the related transactions impact earnings. D ERIVATIVE NSTRUMENTS ESIGNATED AS EDGING NSTRUMENTS In accordance with accounting guidance pertaining to derivatives and hedge accounting, the Companies designate a portion of their derivative instruments as either cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges, the cash flows from the derivatives and from the related hedged items are classified in operating cash flows. Cash Flow Hedges Dominion Energy entered into interest rate derivative instruments to hedge its forecasted interest payments related to planned debt issuances in 2014. These interest rate derivatives were designated by Dominion Energy as cash flow hedges prior to the formation of Dominion Energy Gas. For the purposes of the Dominion Energy Gas financial statements, the derivative balances, AOCI balance, and any income statement impact related to these interest rate derivative instruments entered into by Dominion Energy have been, and will continue to be, included in the Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Financial Statements as the forecasted interest payments related to the debt issuances now occur at Dominion Energy Gas. Fair Value Hedges |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at lower of original cost or fair value, if impaired. Capitalized costs include labor, materials and other direct and indirect costs such as asset retirement costs, capitalized interest and, for certain operations subject to cost-of-service In 2018, 2017 and 2016, Dominion Energy capitalized interest costs and AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $134 million, $236 million and $159 million, respectively. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, Virginia Power capitalized AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $56 million, $37 million and $21 million, respectively. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, Dominion Energy Gas capitalized AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $18 million, $25 million and $8 million, respectively. Under Virginia law, certain Virginia jurisdictional projects qualify for current recovery of AFUDC through rate adjustment clauses. AFUDC on these projects is calculated and recorded as a regulatory asset and is not capitalized to property, plant and equipment. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, Virginia Power recorded $4 million, $22 million and $31 million of AFUDC related to these projects, respectively. For property subject to cost-of-service cost-of-service plant-in-service after-tax) For property that is not subject to cost-of-service Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed on the straight-line method based on projected service lives. The Companies’ average composite depreciation rates on utility property, plant and equipment are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 (percent) Dominion Energy Generation 2.71 2.94 2.83 Transmission 2.54 2.55 2.47 Distribution 2.97 3.00 3.02 Storage 2.40 2.48 2.29 Gas gathering and processing 2.62 2.21 2.66 General and other 4.56 4.89 4.12 Virginia Power Generation 2.71 2.94 2.83 Transmission 2.52 2.54 2.36 Distribution 3.31 3.32 3.32 General and other 4.52 4.68 3.49 Dominion Energy Gas Transmission 2.45 2.40 2.43 Distribution 2.41 2.42 2.55 Storage 2.46 2.45 2.19 Gas gathering and processing 3.07 2.42 2.58 General and other 5.59 4.96 4.54 In the second quarter of 2018, Virginia Power recorded an adjustment for the retroactive application of depreciation rates for regulated nuclear plants to comply with Virginia Commission requirements. This adjustment resulted in a decrease of $60 million ($44 million after-tax) after-tax). In the first quarter of 2017, Virginia Power revised the depreciation rates for its assets to reflect the results of a new depreciation study. This change resulted in an increase in annual depreciation expense of $40 million ($25 million after-tax) after-tax) Capitalized costs of development wells and leaseholds are amortized on a field-by-field unit-of-production Dominion Energy’s nonutility property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Asset Estimated Useful Lives Merchant generation-nuclear 44 years Merchant generation-other 15-30 years Nonutility gas gathering and processing 3-50 LNG facility 40 years General and other 5-59 Depreciation and amortization related to Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ nonutility property, plant and equipment and exploration and production properties was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, except for Dominion Energy Gas’ nonutility gas gathering and processing properties which are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives between 10 and 50 years. Nuclear fuel used in electric generation is amortized over its estimated service life on a units-of-production |
Long-Lived and Intangible Assets | Long-Lived and Intangible Assets The Companies perform an evaluation for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets or intangible assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. A long-lived or intangible asset is written down to fair value if the sum of its expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than its carrying amount. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. |
Regulatory Assets and Liabilities | Regulatory Assets and Liabilities The accounting for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ regulated gas and Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s regulated electric operations differs from the accounting for nonregulated operations in that they are required to reflect the effect of rate regulation in their Consolidated Financial Statements. For regulated businesses subject to federal or state cost-of-service The Companies evaluate whether or not recovery of their regulatory assets through future rates is probable and make various assumptions in their analyses. The expectations of future recovery are generally based on orders issued by regulatory commissions, legislation or historical experience, as well as discussions with applicable regulatory authorities and legal counsel. If recovery of a regulatory asset is determined to be less than probable, it will be written off in the period such assessment is made. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations The Companies recognize AROs at fair value as incurred or when sufficient information becomes available to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value of future retirement activities to be performed, for which a legal obligation exists. These amounts are generally capitalized as costs of the related tangible long-lived assets. Since relevant market information is not available, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. Quarterly, the Companies assess their AROs to determine if circumstances indicate that estimates of the amounts or timing of future cash flows associated with retirement activities have changed. AROs are adjusted when significant changes in the amounts or timing of future cash flows are identified. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with their natural gas pipeline and storage well assets as an adjustment to the related regulatory liabilities when revenue is recoverable from customers for AROs. Dominion Energy, following the SCANA Combination, and Virginia Power report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with decommissioning its nuclear power stations as an adjustment to the regulatory liability for certain jurisdictions. Additionally, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with certain rider and prospective rider projects as an adjustment to the regulatory asset for certain jurisdictions. Accretion of all other AROs and depreciation of all other asset retirement costs are reported in other operations and maintenance expense and depreciation expense, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs The Companies defer and amortize debt issuance costs and debt premiums or discounts over the expected lives of the respective debt issues, considering maturity dates and, if applicable, redemption rights held by others. Deferred debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction in long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of the issuance costs is reported as interest expense. Unamortized costs associated with redemptions of debt securities prior to stated maturity dates are generally recognized and recorded in interest expense immediately. As permitted by regulatory authorities, gains or losses resulting from the refinancing of debt allocable to utility operations subject to cost-based rate regulation are deferred and amortized. |
Investments | Investments D EBT AND QUITY ECURITIES WITH EADILY ETERMINABLE AIR ALUES Dominion Energy accounts for and classifies investments in debt securities as trading or available-for-sale available-for-sale • Debt securities classified as trading securities • Debt securities classified as available-for-sale available-for-sale after-tax. In determining realized gains and losses for debt securities, the cost basis of the security is based on the specific identification method. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values include securities held by Dominion Energy in rabbi trusts associated with certain deferred compensation plans and securities held by Dominion Energy and Virginia Power in the nuclear decommissioning trusts. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record all equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, or for which they are permitted to estimate fair value using NAV (or its equivalent), at fair value in nuclear decommissioning trust funds and other investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power may elect a measurement alternative for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Under the measurement alternative, equity securities are reported at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power qualitatively assess equity securities reported using the measurement alternative to determine whether an investment is impaired on an ongoing basis. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in Virginia Power’s nuclear decommissioning trusts are recorded to a regulatory liability for certain jurisdictions subject to cost-based regulation. For all other equity securities, including those held in Dominion Energy’s merchant generation nuclear decommissioning trusts and rabbi trusts, net realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. E QUITY ECURITIES WITHOUT EADILY ETERMINABLE AIR ALUES The Companies account for illiquid and privately held securities without readily determinable fair values under either the equity method or cost method. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values include: • Equity method investments • Cost method investments O THER HAN EMPORARY MPAIRMENT The Companies periodically review their investments in debt securities and equity method investments to determine whether a decline in fair value should be considered other-than-temporary. If a decline in the fair value of any security is determined to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to its fair value at the end of the reporting period. Decommissioning Trust Investments —Special Considerations for Debt Securities • The recognition provisions of other-than-temporary impairment guidance apply only to debt securities classified as available-for-sale held-to-maturity. • Using information obtained from their nuclear decommissioning trust fixed-income investment managers, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record in earnings any unrealized loss for a debt security when the manager intends to sell the debt security or it is more-likely-than-not non-performance |
Inventories | Inventories Materials and supplies and fossil fuel inventories are valued primarily using the weighted-average cost method. Stored gas inventory is valued using the weighted-average cost method, except for East Ohio gas distribution operations, which are valued using the LIFO method. Under the LIFO method, current stored gas inventory was valued at $12 million and $9 million at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Based on the average price of gas purchased during 2018 and 2017, the cost of replacing the current portion of stored gas inventory exceeded the amount stated on a LIFO basis by $87 million and $79 million, respectively. |
Gas Imbalances | Gas Imbalances Natural gas imbalances occur when the physical amount of natural gas delivered from, or received by, a pipeline system or storage facility differs from the contractual amount of natural gas delivered or received. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas value these imbalances due to, or from, shippers and operators at an appropriate index price at period end, subject to the terms of its tariff for regulated entities. Imbalances are primarily settled in-kind. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas evaluate goodwill for impairment annually as of April 1 and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change in the interim that would more-likely-than-not |
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards R EVENUE ECOGNITION In May 2014, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The Companies adopted this revised accounting guidance for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Upon the adoption of the standard, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas recorded the cumulative-effect of a change in accounting principle of $3 million to retained earnings and membership interests, respectively, and to establish a contract asset related to changes in the timing of revenue recognition for three existing contracts with customers at DETI. As a result of adopting this revised accounting guidance, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas record offsetting operating revenue and other energy-related purchases for non-cash F INANCIAL NSTRUMENTS In January 2016, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance became effective for the Companies’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 and the Companies adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption of this guidance for equity securities held at January 1, 2018, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power recorded the cumulative-effect of a change in accounting principle to reclassify net unrealized gains from AOCI to retained earnings and to recognize equity securities previously categorized as cost method investments at fair value (using NAV) in nuclear decommissioning trust funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power reclassified approximately $1.1 billion ($734 million after-tax) after-tax), after-tax) after-tax) after-tax) L EASES In February 2016, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leasing arrangements. The update requires that a liability and corresponding right-of-use The guidance is effective for the Companies’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019. The Companies will adopt this revised accounting guidance using a modified retrospective approach, which requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the date of adoption. Under this approach, the Companies are permitted to utilize the transition practical expedient to maintain historical presentation for periods before January 1, 2019. The Companies will apply the other practical expedients, which would require no reassessment of whether existing contracts are or contain leases, no reassessment of lease classification for existing leases and no reassessment of existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases. Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will result in approximately $450 million to $500 million, $200 million to $250 million and $60 million to $70 million, respectively, of offsetting right-of-use right-of-use D ERECOGNITION AND ARTIAL ALES OF ONFINANCIAL SSETS In February 2017, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance clarifying the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The guidance became effective for the Companies’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018, and the Companies adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption of the standard, Dominion Energy recorded the cumulative-effect of a change in accounting principle to reclassify $127 million from noncontrolling interests to common stock related to the sale of a noncontrolling interest in certain merchant solar projects completed in December 2015 and January 2016. N ET ERIODIC ENSION AND THER OSTRETIREMENT ENEFIT OSTS In March 2017, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for the presentation of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs. This guidance became effective for the Companies beginning January 1, 2018 and requires that the service cost component of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs be classified in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees, while all other components of net periodic pension and other postretirement costs are classified outside of income from operations. In addition, only the service cost component remains eligible for capitalization during construction. These changes do not impact the accounting by participants in a multi-employer plan. The standard also recognizes that in the event that a regulator continues to require capitalization of all net periodic benefit costs prospectively, the difference would result in recognition of a regulatory asset or liability. For costs not capitalized for which regulators are expected to provide recovery, a regulatory asset will be established. As such, the amounts eligible for capitalization in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas, as subsidiary participants in Dominion Energy’s multi-employer plans, will differ from the amounts eligible for capitalization in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Dominion Energy, the plan administrator. These differences will result in a regulatory asset or liability recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Dominion Energy. T AX EFORM In December 2017, the staff of the SEC issued guidance which clarifies accounting for income taxes if information is not yet available or complete and provided for up to a one-year tax-related In August 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued proposed regulations addressing the availability of federal bonus depreciation for the period beginning after September 27, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The application of these changes decreased Dominion Energy’s net operating loss carryforward utilization on its 2017 tax return as discussed in Note 5. In November 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued proposed regulations defining interest as any amounts associated with the time value of money or use of funds. These proposed regulations provide guidance for purposes of the exception to the interest limitation for regulated public utilities, the application of the interest limitation to consolidated groups, such as Dominion Energy, and the interest limitation with respect to partnerships and partners in those partnerships. It is unclear when the guidance may be finalized, or whether that guidance could result in a disallowance of a portion of the Companies’ interest deductions in the future. In February 2018, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance to provide clarification on the application of the 2017 Tax Reform Act for balances recorded within AOCI. The revised guidance provides for stranded amounts within AOCI from the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act to be reclassified to retained earnings. The Companies adopted this guidance for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, Dominion Energy reclassified a benefit of $289 million from AOCI to retained earnings, Virginia Power reclassified a benefit of $3 million from AOCI to retained earnings and Dominion Energy Gas reclassified a benefit of $26 million from AOCI to membership interests. The amounts reclassified reflect the reduction in the federal income tax rate, and the federal benefit of state income taxes, on the components of the Companies’ AOCI. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. However, the use of a mid-market mid-point Inputs and Assumptions Fair value is based on actively-quoted market prices, if available. In the absence of actively-quoted market prices, price information is sought from external sources, including industry publications, and to a lesser extent, broker quotes. When evaluating pricing information provided by Designated Contract Market settlement pricing, other pricing services, or brokers, the Companies consider the ability to transact at the quoted price, i.e. if the quotes are based on an active market or an inactive market and to the extent which pricing models are used, if pricing is not readily available. If pricing information from external sources is not available, or if the Companies believe that observable pricing is not indicative of fair value, judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. In those cases the unobservable inputs are developed and substantiated using historical information, available market data, third-party data, and statistical analysis. Periodically, inputs to valuation models are reviewed and revised as needed, based on historical information, updated market data, market liquidity and relationships, and changes in third-party sources. For options and contracts with option-like characteristics where observable pricing information is not available from external sources, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power generally use a modified Black-Scholes Model that considers time value, the volatility of the underlying commodities and other relevant assumptions when estimating fair value. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power use other option models under special circumstances, including but not limited to Spread Approximation Model and a Swing Option Model. For contracts with unique characteristics, the Companies may estimate fair value using a discounted cash flow approach deemed appropriate in the circumstances and applied consistently from period to period. For individual contracts, the use of different valuation models or assumptions could have a significant effect on the contract’s estimated fair value. The inputs and assumptions used in measuring fair value include the following: For commodity derivative contracts: • Forward commodity prices • Transaction prices • Price volatility • Price correlation • Volumes • Commodity location • Interest rates • Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies • Credit enhancements • Time value For interest rate derivative contracts: • Interest rate curves • Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies • Notional value • Credit enhancements • Time value For foreign currency derivative contracts: • Foreign currency forward exchange rates • Interest rates • Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies • Notional value • Credit enhancements • Time value For investments: • Quoted securities prices and indices • Securities trading information including volume and restrictions • Maturity • Interest rates • Credit quality Levels The Companies also utilize the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels: • Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that they have the ability to access at the measurement date. Instruments categorized in Level 1 primarily consist of financial instruments such as certain exchange-traded derivatives, and exchange-listed equities, U.S. and international equity securities, mutual funds and certain Treasury securities held in nuclear decommissioning trust funds for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, benefit plan trust funds for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas, and rabbi trust funds for Dominion Energy. • Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 primarily include commodity forwards and swaps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps and cash and cash equivalents, corporate debt instruments, government securities and other fixed income investments held in nuclear decommissioning trust funds for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, benefit plan trust funds for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas and rabbi trust funds for Dominion Energy. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Instruments categorized in Level 3 for the Companies consist of long-dated commodity derivatives, FTRs, certain natural gas and power options and other modeled commodity derivatives. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these cases, the lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. Alternative investments, consisting of investments in partnerships, joint ventures and other alternative investments held in nuclear decommissioning and benefit plan trust funds, are generally valued using NAV based on the proportionate share of the fair value as determined by reference to the most recent audited fair value financial statements or fair value statements provided by the investment manager adjusted for any significant events occurring between the investment manager’s and the Companies’ measurement date. Alternative investments recorded at NAV are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. Transfers out of Level 3 represent assets and liabilities that were previously classified as Level 3 for which the inputs became observable for classification in either Level 1 or Level 2. Because the activity and liquidity of commodity markets vary substantially between regions and time periods, the availability of observable inputs for substantially the full term and value of the Companies’ over-the-counter Level 3 Valuations The Companies enter into certain physical and financial forwards, futures, options and swaps, which are considered Level 3 as they have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation. The discounted cash flow method is used to value Level 3 physical and financial forwards and futures contracts. An option model is used to value Level 3 physical and financial options. The discounted cash flow model for forwards and futures calculates mark-to-market mark-to-market |
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. |
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas-Defined Benefit Plans | Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas—Defined Benefit Plans Dominion Energy provides certain retirement benefits to eligible active employees, retirees and qualifying dependents. Dominion Energy Gas participates in a number of the Dominion Energy-sponsored retirement plans. Under the terms of its benefit plans, Dominion Energy reserves the right to change, modify or terminate the plans. From time to time in the past, benefits have changed, and some of these changes have reduced benefits. Dominion Energy maintains qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering virtually all employees. Retirement benefits are based primarily on years of service, age and the employee’s compensation. Dominion Energy’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that is in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. The pension programs also provide benefits to certain retired executives under company-sponsored nonqualified employee benefit plans. The nonqualified plans are funded through contributions to grantor trusts. Dominion Energy also provides retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits with annual employee premiums based on several factors such as age, retirement date and years of service. Pension benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Dominion Energy that provides benefits to multiple Dominion Energy subsidiaries. Pension benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units are covered by separate pension plans for East Ohio and, for DETI, a plan that provides benefits to employees of both DETI and Hope. Employee compensation is the basis for allocating pension costs and obligations between DETI and Hope and determining East Ohio’s share of total pension costs. Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan, a plan sponsored by Dominion Energy that provides certain retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits to multiple Dominion Energy subsidiaries. Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units are covered by separate other postretirement benefit plans for East Ohio and, for DETI, a plan that provides benefits to both DETI and Hope. Employee headcount is the basis for allocating other postretirement benefit costs and obligations between DETI and Hope and determining East Ohio’s share of total other postretirement benefit costs. Pension and other postretirement benefit costs are affected by employee demographics (including age, compensation levels and years of service), the level of contributions made to the plans and earnings on plan assets. These costs may also be affected by changes in key assumptions, including expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates, healthcare cost trend rates, mortality rates and the rate of compensation increases. Dominion Energy uses December 31 as the measurement date for all of its employee benefit plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. |
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. |
Indemnifications | Indemnifications As part of commercial contract negotiations in the normal course of business, the Companies may sometimes agree to make payments to compensate or indemnify other parties for possible future unfavorable financial consequences resulting from specified events. The specified events may involve an adverse judgment in a lawsuit or the imposition of additional taxes due to a change in tax law or interpretation of the tax law. The Companies are unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of any other future payments under these contracts because events that would obligate them have not yet occurred or, if any such event has occurred, they have not been notified of its occurrence. However, at December 31, 2018, the Companies believe any other future payments, if any, that could ultimately become payable under these contract provisions, would not have a material impact on their results of operations, cash flows or financial position. |
Credit Risk | Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations. In order to minimize overall credit risk, credit policies are maintained, including the evaluation of counterparty financial condition, collateral requirements and the use of standardized agreements that facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty. In addition, counterparties may make available collateral, including letters of credit or cash held as margin deposits, as a result of exceeding agreed-upon credit limits, or may be required to prepay the transaction. The Companies maintain a provision for credit losses based on factors surrounding the credit risk of their customers, historical trends and other information. Management believes, based on credit policies and the December 31, 2018 provision for credit losses, that it is unlikely that a material adverse effect on financial position, results of operations or cash flows would occur as a result of counterparty nonperformance. |
