COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Operations

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. Dominion Energy’s operations also include DESC, regulated gas distribution operations primarily in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S., regulated gas transportation and storage services in the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S., merchant electric generation and, following the completion of the GT&S Transaction in November 2020, a noncontrolling interest in Cove Point. Virginia Power is a regulated public utility that generates, transmits and distributes electricity for sale in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. See Note 3 for a description of the sale of substantially all of Dominion Energy’s gas transmission and storage operations to BHE through the GT&S Transaction completed in November 2020 and the proposed Q-Pipe Transaction.

Beginning in September 2020, Dominion Energy manages its daily operations through four primary operating segments: Dominion Energy Virginia, Gas Distribution, Dominion Energy South Carolina and Contracted Assets. Dominion Energy also reports a Corporate and Other segment, which includes its corporate, service company and other functions (including unallocated debt) as well as nonregulated retail energy marketing operations, including Dominion Energy’s noncontrolling interest in Wrangler. 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 operating segments’ performance or in allocating resources. In addition, Corporate and Other includes the net impact of discontinued operations consisting of Dominion Energy’s gas transmission and storage operations as discussed in Note 3 and its equity investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline as discussed in Note 10.

See Note 21 for further discussion of the Companies’ operating segments.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Companies’ accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In the Companies’ opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly their financial position at September 30, 2020, their results of operations and changes in equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and their cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature unless otherwise noted.

The Companies make certain estimates and assumptions in preparing their Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The Companies’ accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, their accounts, those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly-owned entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. For certain partnership structures, income is allocated based on the liquidation value of the underlying contractual arrangements. At September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy owns 50% of the voting interests in Four Brothers and Three Cedars and has a controlling financial interest over the entities through its right to control operations. GIP’s ownership interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars, Terra Nova Renewable Partners’ 33% interest in certain Dominion Energy merchant solar projects, Brookfield’s 25% interest in Cove Point (effective December 2019) and the non-Dominion Energy held interest in Dominion Energy Midstream (through January 2019) are reflected as noncontrolling interest in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Terra Nova Renewable Partners has a future option to buy all or a portion of Dominion Energy’s remaining 67% ownership in certain merchant projects upon the occurrence of certain events, including any proposed sale by Dominion Energy of its interest.

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Information for quarterly periods is affected by seasonal variations in sales, rate changes, electric fuel and other energy-related purchases, purchased gas expenses and other factors.

Certain amounts in the Companies’ 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 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, where applicable. There have been no significant changes from Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, with the exception of the items described below.

(3) Restricted cash and equivalent balances are presented within other current assets in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Property, Plant and Equipment

In January 2019, Virginia Power committed to a plan to retire certain automated metering reading infrastructure associated with its electric operations before the end of its estimated useful life and replace such equipment with more current AMI technology. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $160 million ($119 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2019, included in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income. This charge is considered a component of Virginia Power’s base rates deemed recovered under the GTSA, subject to review as discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Virginia Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In March 2019, Virginia Power committed to retire certain electric generating units before the end of their useful lives and completed the retirement of certain units at six facilities representing 1,292 MW of electric generating capacity, which had previously been placed in cold reserve. An additional unit at Possum Point power station will be retired in December 2020. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $369 million ($275 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2019, primarily included in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income. This charge is considered a component of Virginia Power’s base rates deemed recovered under the GTSA, subject to review as discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Virginia Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In May 2019, Virginia Power abandoned a coal rail project at its Mt. Storm generating facility. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $62 million ($46 million after-tax) in the second quarter of 2019, included in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income.

In September 2019, the Companies abandoned certain property, plant and equipment before the end of its useful life. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $26 million ($19 million after-tax) and Virginia Power recorded a charge of $17 million ($12

million after-tax), included in impairment of assets and other charges in their Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

In March 2020, Virginia Power committed to retire certain coal- and oil-fired generating units before the end of their useful lives based on economic and other factors, including but not limited to market power prices and the VCEA. These units will be retired after they meet their capacity obligations to PJM in 2023. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $754 million ($561 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2020, primarily included in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income. This charge is considered a component of Virginia Power’s base rates deemed recovered under the GTSA, subject to review as discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Virginia Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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

In the first quarter of 2020, Virginia Power updated depreciation rates for its nuclear plants to reflect lower depreciation rates as a result of the expected approval of license extensions from the NRC. This adjustment resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $8 million ($6 million after-tax) and $24 million ($18 million after-tax) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, in Virginia Power’s Consolidated Statements of Income and a $0.01 and $0.02 increase in Dominion Energy’s EPS, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. This revision is expected to decrease annual depreciation expense by approximately $31 million ($23 million after-tax) and increase Dominion Energy’s EPS by $0.03 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In the second quarter of 2020, DESC completed a nuclear decommissioning cost study related to Summer. As a result of the study, Dominion Energy recorded an $89 million increase to its nuclear decommissioning ARO, with a corresponding increase to property, plant and equipment.

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.

Effective January 2020, expected credit losses are estimated and recorded based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of financial assets held at amortized cost as well as expected credit losses on commitments with respect to financial guarantees.

Investments

Debt and Equity Securities with Readily Determinable Fair Value

Dominion Energy accounts for and classifies investments in debt securities as trading or available-for-sale securities. Virginia Power classifies investments in debt securities as available-for-sale securities.

• Debt securities classified as trading securities include securities held by Dominion Energy in rabbi trusts associated with certain deferred compensation plans. These securities are reported in other investments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with net realized and unrealized gains and losses included in other income in its Consolidated Statements of Income.

• Debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities include all other debt securities, primarily comprised of securities held in the nuclear decommissioning trusts. These investments are reported at fair value in nuclear decommissioning trust funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses (including any credit-related impairments) on investments held in Virginia Power’s nuclear decommissioning trusts are deferred to a regulatory asset or liability as applicable for certain jurisdictions subject to cost-based regulation. For all other available-for-sale debt securities, including those held in Dominion Energy’s merchant generation nuclear decommissioning trusts, net realized gains and losses (including any credit-related impairments) are included in other income and unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of AOCI, 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 the Companies in the nuclear decommissioning trusts. The Companies 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, the Companies 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. The Companies 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 deferred to a regulatory asset or liability, as applicable, 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 its Consolidated Statements of Income.

Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Values

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 when the Companies have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Dominion Energy’s investments are included in investment in equity method affiliates in its Consolidated Balance Sheets, except for such investments which are classified as held for sale. Dominion Energy records equity method adjustments in other income in its Consolidated Statements of Income, except for such adjustments which are classified as discontinued operations, including its proportionate share of investee income or loss, gains or losses resulting from investee capital transactions, amortization of certain differences between the carrying value and the equity in the net assets of the investee at the date of investment and other adjustments required by the equity method.

• Cost method investments when the Companies do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee. The Companies’ investments are included in other investments and nuclear decommissioning trust funds. Cost method investments are reported at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Companies periodically review their 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 equity method investment is determined to be other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to its fair value at the end of the reporting period.

Credit Impairment

Effective January 2020, the Companies periodically review their available-for-sale debt securities to determine whether a decline in fair value should be considered credit related. If a decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale debt security is determined to be credit related, the credit-related impairment is recorded to an allowance included in nuclear decommissioning trust funds in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets at the end of the reporting period, with such allowance for credit losses subject to reversal in subsequent evaluations.

Using information obtained from their nuclear decommissioning trust fixed-income investment managers, the Companies record in earnings, or defer as applicable for certain jurisdictions subject to cost-based regulation, any unrealized loss for a debt security when the manager intends to sell the debt security or it is more-likely-than-not that the manager will have to sell the debt security before recovery of its fair value up to its cost basis. If that is not the case, but the debt security is deemed to have experienced a credit loss, the Companies record the credit loss in earnings with the remaining non-credit portion of the unrealized loss recorded in AOCI. Credit losses are evaluated primarily by considering the credit ratings of the issuer, prior instances of non-performance by the issuer and other factors.

New Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for debt with conversion options and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The revised guidance eliminates the ability to assert cash settlement and exclude potential shares from the diluted EPS calculation for a contract that may be settled in stock or cash. The effective date is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2022 and may be adopted through a modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. Upon adoption, Dominion Energy will no longer exclude the Series A Preferred Stock from the effect of dilutive securities and will also exclude the fair value adjustment reflected within net income attributable to Dominion Energy for the calculation of diluted EPS.

Note 3. Acquisitions and Dispositions

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, at the closing of the SCANA Combination, SCANA marketed 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 debt totaled $6.9 billion at closing. The SCANA Combination expanded Dominion Energy’s portfolio of regulated electric generation, transmission and distribution and regulated natural gas distribution infrastructure operations.

See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for more information on the SCANA Combination, including merger approval and conditions, information on assets acquired and liabilities assumed and purchase price allocation. In addition, see Note 17 for a discussion of certain legal proceedings involving Dominion Energy, SCANA or DESC relating to events occurring before closing of the SCANA Combination.

In accordance with the SCANA Merger Approval Order, Dominion Energy incurred certain charges to its Consolidated Statements of Income for the following:

•

In the first quarter of 2019, DESC recorded a reduction in operating revenue and a corresponding regulatory liability of $1.0 billion representing a refund of amounts previously collected from retail electric customers of DESC for the NND Project to be credited over an estimated 11-year period, effective January 2019. As a result, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes a $756 million after-tax charge.

•

Dominion Energy committed to forgo recovery of $105 million of certain property, plant and equipment associated with the NND Project. As a result, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes a charge of $105 million ($79 million after-tax), included in impairment of assets and other charges.

•

Dominion Energy committed to forgo recovery of $264 million of certain income tax-related regulatory assets associated with the NND Project. As a result, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes a charge of $198 million included in income tax expense.

Results of Operations and Unaudited Pro Forma Information

The impact of the SCANA Combination on Dominion Energy’s operating revenue was an increase of $809 million and $979 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and an increase of $2.4 billion and $2.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The impact of the SCANA Combination on net income attributable to Dominion Energy was an increase of $85 million and $97 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and an increase of $197 million and a decrease of $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Dominion Energy incurred merger and integration-related costs of $22 million and $64 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, of which $22 million and $61 million are recorded in other operations and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Dominion Energy incurred merger and integration-related costs of $29 million and $596 million in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 include $4 million and $427 million, respectively, for a charge related to a voluntary retirement program. See Note 20 for additional information. Of the remaining merger and integration-related costs, $25 million and $169 million was recorded in other operations and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and less than $1 million and $9 million was recorded in interest and related charges in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,

respectively. These costs consist of professional fees, charitable contribution commitments, employee-related expenses, certain financing costs and other miscellaneous costs.

Disposition of Gas Transmission & Storage Operations to BHE

In July 2020, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement with BHE with a total value of approximately $10 billion, comprised of approximately $4.0 billion of cash consideration (subject to customary closing adjustments) plus the assumption of long-term debt, to sell substantially all of its gas transmission and storage operations, including processing assets, as well as noncontrolling partnership interests in Iroquois, JAX LNG and White River Hub and a controlling interest in Cove Point (consisting of 100% of the general partner interest and 25% of the total limited partner interests). The agreement provides that Dominion Energy retains the assets and obligations of the pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans associated with the operations included in the transaction and relating to services provided through closing. In October 2020, pursuant to a provision in the agreement with BHE, Dominion Energy elected to exclude Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline and certain other affiliated entities from the transaction as approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act had not been obtained by mid-September 2020. Concurrently in October 2020, Dominion Energy and BHE entered into a separate agreement under which Dominion Energy will sell Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline and certain other affiliated entities for cash consideration of $1.3 billion and the assumption of related long-term debt.

In November 2020, Dominion Energy completed the GT&S Transaction and received cash proceeds of $2.7 billion. This transaction is structured as an asset sale for tax purposes. Based on the recorded balances at September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy expects to recognize a pre-tax gain of approximately $200 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, including the write-off of $1.4 billion of goodwill and reflecting closing adjustments of approximately $200 million to be paid to BHE. Closing adjustments, including any required payment of cash, are expected to be finalized by early 2021.

In connection with closing of the GT&S Transaction, Dominion Energy and BHE entered into a transition services agreement under which Dominion Energy will continue to provide specified administrative services to support the operations of the disposed business for up to 24 months. In addition, BHE will provide certain administrative services to Dominion Energy.

Also in November 2020, BHE provided a $1.3 billion deposit to Dominion Energy on the Q-Pipe Transaction. Dominion Energy will be required to repay all or substantially all of this deposit, or issue to BHE an equivalent value in shares of Dominion Energy common stock at Dominion Energy’s option, if the Q-Pipe Transaction does not close by December 30, 2021. Dominion Energy may not solicit or accept offers from alternative buyers for all or a material portion of the Q-Pipe Transaction until after March 31, 2021 and either party may terminate the Q-Pipe Transaction if closing has not occurred on or before June 30, 2021. If the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act approval has not been obtained by June 30, 2021, upon BHE’s request, Dominion Energy will seek an alternative buyer for all or a material portion of the Q-Pipe Transaction. The Q-Pipe Transaction is structured as an asset sale for tax purposes and is expected to close in early 2021, contingent on clearance or approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, and other customary closing and regulatory conditions. Based on the recorded balances at September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy expects to recognize a pre-tax gain of approximately $500 million upon closing, including the write-off of $191 million of goodwill, but excluding the effects of any closing adjustments.

The operations included in both the GT&S Transaction and the Q-Pipe Transaction are presented in held-for-sale and discontinued operations effective July 2020. As a result, the previously reported amounts have been recast to reflect this presentation and depreciation and amortization ceased on the applicable assets. Dominion Energy retained a 50% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point that is accounted for as an equity method investment upon closing of the GT&S Transaction as Dominion Energy has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Cove Point. As Cove Point had previously been consolidated within Dominion Energy’s financial statements, balances associated with Cove Point prior to the closing of the GT&S Transaction are presented within held-for-sale and discontinued operations.

The following table represents selected information regarding the results of operations of reported within discontinued operations in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income:

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy’s contract liability balances were $120 million and $102 million, respectively, and are recorded in other current liabilities and other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Virginia Power’s contract liability balances were $27 million and $24 million, respectively, and are recorded in other current liabilities and other deferred credits and other liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Companies recognize revenue as they fulfill their obligations to provide service to their customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 Dominion Energy recognized revenue of $95 million and $83 million, respectively, from the beginning contract liability balances. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Virginia Power recognized $24 million and $22 million, respectively, from the beginning contract liability balance.

Note 5. Income Taxes

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
Nine Months Ended September 30,	2020			2019			2020			2019
U.S. statutory rate		21.0	%		21.0	%		21.0	%		21.0	%
Increases (reductions) resulting from:
State taxes, net of federal benefit		1.5			(898.5	)		4.7			4.5
Investment tax credits		(30.5	)		(325.2	)		(5.6	)		(5.3	)
Production tax credits		(2.4	)		(66.3	)		(0.9	)		(0.8	)

Effective tax rate		(31.4	)%	13,878.2%				17.0	%		14.1	%

For the Companies’ rate-regulated entities, deferred taxes will reverse at the weighted average rate used to originate the deferred tax liability, which in some cases will be 35%. The Companies have recorded an estimate of excess deferred income tax amortization in 2020. The reversal of these excess deferred income taxes will impact the effective tax rate and rates charged to customers. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for more information.

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

In March 2020, the CARES Act was enacted which includes several significant business tax provisions that modify or temporarily suspend certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Reform Act. The CARES Act provisions are intended to improve cash flow and liquidity by, among other things, providing a temporary five-year carryback for certain net operating losses, accelerating the refund of previously generated corporate alternative minimum tax credits and temporarily loosening the business interest limitation to 50% of adjusted taxable income for certain businesses. Dominion Energy utilized the income tax provisions of the CARES Act to accelerate the recognition of certain tax attributes, but they did not provide a material benefit.

In July 2020, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued final regulations providing guidance about the limitation on the deduction for business interest expenses and issued proposed regulations on the application of these rules to certain pass-through entities and partners in those entities under the 2017 Tax Reform Act as modified by the CARES Act. Dominion Energy is assessing the impact of these regulations, but expects interest expense to be deductible in 2020.

Dominion Energy’s 2019 effective tax rate is a function of the nominal year-to-date pre-tax income primarily driven by charges associated with the SCANA Combination, charges at Virginia Power for the early retirement of assets and charges associated with the voluntary retirement program. In connection with the SCANA Combination, Dominion Energy committed to forgo, or limit, the recovery of certain income tax-related regulatory assets associated with the NND Project. Dominion Energy’s 2019 effective tax rate reflects deferred income tax expense of $198 million in satisfaction of this commitment. Dominion Energy’s 2019 effective tax rate also reflects the changes in consolidated state income taxes resulting from the SCANA Combination.

As of September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes in the Companies’ unrecognized tax benefits or possible changes that could reasonably be expected to occur during the next twelve months. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for a discussion of these unrecognized tax benefits.

Discontinued operations

Income tax expense (benefit) reflected in discontinued operations is $(572) million and $47 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The 2020 income tax expense reflects a charge of $81 million for the write-off of tax-related regulatory assets associated with the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project.

Note 6. Earnings Per Share

The following table presents the calculation of Dominion Energy’s basic and diluted EPS:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020			2019			2020			2019
(millions, except EPS)
Net income (loss) attributable to Dominion Energy from continuing operations	$	369		$	937		$	767		$	(171	)
Preferred stock dividends (see Note 16)		(16	)		(7	)		(48	)		(8	)
Net income (loss) attributable to Dominion Energy from continuing operations – Basic		353			930			719			(179	)
Dilutive effect of Series A Preferred Stock		—			(13	)		(28	)		—
Net income (loss) attributable to Dominion Energy from continuing operations - Diluted	$	353		$	917		$	691		$	(179	)

Net income (loss) attributable to Dominion Energy from discontinued operations - Basic & Diluted	$	(13	)	$	38		$	(1,850	)	$	520

Average shares of common stock outstanding – Basic & Diluted		833.8			813.0			837.1			802.9
Net effect of dilutive securities		—			—			—			—
Average shares of common stock outstanding – Diluted		833.8			813.0			837.1			802.9

EPS from continuing operations – Basic	$	0.42		$	1.14		$	0.86		$	(0.22	)
EPS from discontinued operations – Basic		(0.01	)		0.05			(2.21	)		0.64
EPS attributable to Dominion Energy – Basic	$	0.41		$	1.19		$	(1.35	)	$	0.42

EPS from continuing operations – Diluted	$	0.42		$	1.12		$	0.83		$	(0.22	)
EPS from discontinued operations – Diluted		(0.01	)		0.05			(2.21	)		0.64
EPS attributable to Dominion Energy – Diluted	$	0.41		$	1.17		$	(1.38	)	$	0.42

As a result of a net loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, any adjustments to earnings or shares would be considered antidilutive and are therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. The 2019 Equity Units and the two September 2020 accelerated share purchase agreements are potentially dilutive securities. See Note 16 for more information. The forward stock purchase contracts included within the 2019 Equity Units were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the

three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the three months ended September 30, 2019, as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. The forward stock purchase contracts included within the accelerated share repurchase agreements are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. The Series A Preferred Stock included within the 2019 Equity Units is excluded from the effect of dilutive securities within diluted EPS, but a fair value adjustment is reflected within net income from continuing operations attributable to Dominion Energy for the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the three months ended September 30, 2019, based upon the expectation that the conversion will be settled in cash rather than through the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock. Such fair value adjustment is not included within net income from continuing operations attributable to Dominion Energy for the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. The 2016 Equity Units are potentially dilutive securities, but were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The Companies’ fair value measurements are made in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. See Note 9 in this report for further information about the Companies’ derivatives and hedge accounting activities.

The Companies enter into certain physical and financial forwards, futures, options and swaps, which are considered Level 3 as they have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation. The discounted cash flow method is used to value Level 3 physical and financial forwards, futures and swaps contracts. An option model is used to value Level 3 physical options. The discounted cash flow model for forwards, futures and swaps calculates mark-to-market valuations based on forward market prices, original transaction prices, volumes, risk-free rate of return and credit spreads. The option model calculates mark-to-market valuations using variations of the Black-Scholes option model. The inputs into the models are the forward market prices, implied price volatilities, risk-free rate of return, the option expiration dates, the option strike prices, the original sales prices and volumes. For Level 3 fair value measurements, certain forward market prices and implied price volatilities are considered unobservable.

The following table presents Dominion Energy’s quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements at September 30, 2020. The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs and percentages for price volatility.

	Fair Value (millions)		Valuation Techniques	Unobservable Input		Range	Weighted Average⁽¹⁾

(1)	Averages weighted by volume.

(2)	Includes basis.

(3)	Represents market prices beyond defined terms for Levels 1 and 2.

(4)	Represents volatilities unrepresented in published markets.

Sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs is as follows:

Significant Unobservable Inputs	Position	Change to Input	Impact on Fair Value Measurement
Market price	Buy	Increase (decrease)	Gain (loss)
Market price	Sell	Increase (decrease)	Loss (gain)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Substantially all of the Companies’ financial instruments are recorded at fair value, with the exception of the instruments described below, which are reported at historical cost. Estimated fair values have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies considered appropriate by management. The carrying amount of cash, restricted cash and equivalents, customer and other receivables, affiliated receivables, short-term debt, affiliated current borrowings, payables to affiliates and accounts payable are representative of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For the Companies' financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value, the carrying amounts and estimated fair values are as follows:

	September 30, 2020				December 31, 2019
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value⁽¹⁾		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value⁽¹⁾
(millions)
Dominion Energy
Long-term debt⁽²⁾⁽³⁾	$	37,045	$	43,872	$	32,055	$	36,155
Supplemental 364-Day credit facility borrowings		225		225		—		—
Junior subordinated notes⁽⁴⁾		3,410		3,589		4,797		4,953
Virginia Power
Long-term debt⁽⁴⁾	$	12,328	$	15,410	$	12,326	$	14,281

(1)

Fair value is estimated using market prices, where available, and interest rates currently available for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. All fair value measurements are classified as Level 2. The carrying amount of debt issuances with short-term maturities and variable rates refinanced at current market rates is a reasonable estimate of their fair value.

(2)

Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount or premium and foreign currency remeasurement adjustments. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with fixed rate debt of $3 million and $4 million, respectively.

(3)	Includes amounts classified as held for sale, see Note 3.

(4)	Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount or premium.

Note 9. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Activities

The Companies’ accounting policies, objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments are discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. See Note 8 in this report for further information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives.

Derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross on the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dominion Energy’s derivative contracts include both over-the-counter transactions and those that are executed on an exchange or other trading platform (exchange contracts) and centrally cleared. Virginia Power’s derivative contracts include over-the-counter transactions. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a third party. Exchange contracts utilize a financial intermediary, exchange, or clearinghouse to enter, execute or clear the transactions. Certain over-the-counter and exchange contracts contain

contractual rights of setoff through master netting arrangements, derivative clearing agreements and contract default provisions. In addition, the contracts are subject to conditional rights of setoff through counterparty nonperformance, insolvency or other conditions.

In general, most over-the-counter transactions and all exchange contracts are subject to collateral requirements. Types of collateral for over-the-counter and exchange contracts include cash, letters of credit, and in some cases other forms of security, none of which are subject to restrictions. Cash collateral is used in the table below to offset derivative assets and liabilities. Certain accounts receivable and accounts payable recognized on the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as letters of credit and other forms of security, all of which are not included in the tables below, are subject to offset under master netting or similar arrangements and would reduce the net exposure. See Note 18 for further information regarding credit-related contingent features for the Companies’ derivative instruments.

AOCI

The following table presents selected information related to gains (losses) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020:

	AOCI After-Tax			Amounts Expected to be Reclassified to Earnings During the Next 12 Months After-Tax			Maximum Term
(millions)
Commodities:
Gas	$	(2	)	$	(2	)	15 months
Electricity		2			2		3 months
Interest rate		(446	)		(44	)	399 months
Total	$	(446	)	$	(44	)

The amounts that will be reclassified from AOCI to earnings will generally be offset by the recognition of the hedged transactions (e.g., anticipated sales) in earnings, thereby achieving the realization of prices contemplated by the underlying risk management strategies and will vary from the expected amounts presented above as a result of changes in market prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

In connection with the agreement Dominion Energy entered in July 2020 for the disposition of substantially all of its gas transmission and storage operations, certain cash flow hedges of debt-related items became probable of not occurring. See Note 3 for further information.

Fair Value Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings and presented in the same line item. There were no derivative instruments designated in fair value hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Gains and losses on derivatives in fair value hedge relationships were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The following table presents the amounts recorded on the balance sheet related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges:

	Carrying Amount of the Hedged Asset (Liability)⁽¹⁾						Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustments Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets (Liabilities)⁽²⁾

Equity Method Investments

Dominion Energy

Dominion Energy recorded equity earnings on its investments of less than $1 million and $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in other income in its Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, Dominion Energy recorded equity earnings (losses) of $(2.3) billion and $84 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in discontinued operations related to its investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Dominion Energy received distributions of $25 million and $28 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the net difference between the carrying amount of Dominion Energy’s investments and its share of underlying equity in net assets was $(19) million and $(35) million, respectively. At September 30, 2020, these differences are comprised of $27 million of equity method goodwill that is not being amortized and a net $(46) million basis difference primarily attributable to an unfunded commitment made to Align RNG. At December 31, 2019, these differences are comprised of $11 million of equity method goodwill that is not being amortized and a net $(46) million basis difference from Dominion Energy’s investments in Fowler Ridge, Atlantic Coast Pipeline and an unfunded commitment made to Align RNG.

Atlantic Coast Pipeline

In September 2014, Dominion Energy, along with Duke Energy and Southern, announced the formation of Atlantic Coast Pipeline for the purpose of constructing an approximately 600-mile natural gas pipeline running from West Virginia through Virginia to North Carolina. Subsidiaries and affiliates of Dominion Energy, Duke Energy and Southern had planned to be customers of the pipeline under 20-year contracts.

In March 2020, Dominion Energy completed the acquisition from Southern of its 5% membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline and its 100% ownership interest in Pivotal LNG, Inc., for $184 million in aggregate, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Pivotal LNG, Inc. includes a 50% noncontrolling interest in JAX LNG. Following completion of the acquisition, Dominion Energy owns a 53% noncontrolling membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline with Duke Energy owning the remaining interest.

Atlantic Coast Pipeline continues to be reflected as an equity method investment as the power to direct the activities most significant to Atlantic Coast Pipeline is shared with Duke Energy. As a result, Dominion Energy has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee.

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project had been the subject of challenges in federal courts including, among others, challenges of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project’s biological opinion and incidental take statement, permits providing right of way crossings of certain federal lands, the Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit, the air permit for a compressor station at Buckingham, Virginia, and the FERC order approving the CPCN. Each of these challenges alleged non-compliance on the part of federal and state permitting authorities and adverse ecological consequences if the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project was permitted to proceed. Since December 2018, notable developments in these challenges included a stay in December 2018 issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and the same court’s July 2019 vacatur of the biological opinion and incidental take statement (which stay and subsequent vacatur halted most project construction activity), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit decisions vacating the permits to cross certain federal forests and the air permit for a compressor station at Buckingham, Virginia, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit’s remand to the Army Corps of Engineers of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s Huntington District 404 verification and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit’s remand to the National Park Service of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s Blue Ridge Parkway right-of-way. In June 2019, the Solicitor General of the U.S. and Atlantic Coast Pipeline filed petitions requesting that the Supreme Court of the U.S. hear the case regarding the Appalachian Trail crossing and in June 2020, the Supreme Court of the U.S. ruled in favor of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, reversing the lower court’s decision and remanding the case back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

The project also faced new and serious challenges from uncertainty related to NWP 12, specifically, from the decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana in April 2020 vacating an NWP 12 issued by the Army Corps of Engineers, including among other things gas pipelines, followed by a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruling in May 2020 denying a stay of that decision. In July 2020, the Supreme Court of the U.S. issued an order allowing other new oil and gas pipeline projects to use the NWP 12 process pending appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; however, that did not decrease the uncertainty associated with an eventual ruling. The Montana district court decision was viewed as likely to prompt similar challenges in other federal circuit courts related to permits issued under NWP 12, including for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project.

In July 2020, as a result of the continued permitting delays, growing legal uncertainties and the need to incur significant capital expenditures to maintain project timing before such uncertainties could be resolved, Dominion Energy and Duke Energy announced the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project.

As a result of the determination of the probable abandonment of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project in June 2020, Dominion Energy recorded equity method earnings (losses) of $(61) million ($(45) million after-tax) and $(2.3) billion ($(1.8) billion after-tax) for the

three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $31 million ($31 million after-tax) and $84 million ($85 million after-tax) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. In connection with Dominion Energy’s decision to sell substantially all of its gas transmission and storage operations, Dominion Energy has reflected the results of its equity method investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline as discontinued operations in its Consolidated Statements of Income. At September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy has also recorded a liability of $1.1 billion within other current liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheet, as a result of its share of equity losses exceeding its investment which reflects Dominion Energy’s obligations on behalf of Atlantic Coast Pipeline related to its credit facility and AROs.

In October 2017, Dominion Energy entered into a guarantee agreement to support a portion of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s obligation under a $3.4 billion revolving credit facility with a stated maturity date of October 2021. As of September 30, 2020, Atlantic Coast Pipeline had borrowed $1.8 billion against the revolving credit facility. In July 2020, the capacity of the revolving credit facility was reduced from $3.4 billion to $1.9 billion. Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include a liability of $14 million associated with this guarantee agreement at December 31, 2019. The $1.1 billion liability at September 30, 2020 discussed above includes a $48 million adjustment related to this guarantee agreement that is reflected within equity as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle upon adoption of the new credit loss standard in January 2020.

Dominion Energy recorded contributions of $45 million and $47 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $74 million and $175 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, to Atlantic Coast Pipeline. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had $15 million and $7 million, respectively, of contributions payable to Atlantic Coast Pipeline included within other current liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Dominion Energy expects to incur additional losses from Atlantic Coast Pipeline as it completes wind-down activities. While Dominion Energy is unable to precisely estimate the amounts to be incurred by Atlantic Coast Pipeline, the portion of such amounts attributable to Dominion Energy is not expected to be material to Dominion Energy’s results of operations, financial position or statement of cash flows.

DETI provided services to Atlantic Coast Pipeline which totaled $7 million and $24 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $44 million and $81 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, included in discontinued operations in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Amounts receivable related to these services were less than $1 million and $7 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, composed entirely of accrued unbilled revenue, included in current assets held for sale in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Blue Racer

In the first quarter of 2019, Dominion Energy received $151 million of additional consideration, including applicable interest, in connection with the sale of Dominion Energy’s 50% limited partnership interest in Blue Racer in December 2018, as discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Fowler Ridge

In September 2020, Dominion Energy sold its 50% noncontrolling partnership interest in Fowler Ridge to BP and terminated an affiliate’s long-term power, capacity and renewable energy credit contract with Fowler Ridge for a net payment by Dominion Energy of $150 million. Dominion Energy recognized a loss of $221 million ($165 million after-tax) on the contract termination, included in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The $150 million payment was allocated between the contract termination and sale based on the relative fair value of each using an income approach. The fair value determinations for the payment allocations are considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant judgmental and unobservable inputs, including the amount of future cash flows and discount rate reflecting risks inherent in the future cash flows and market prices.

In addition to the facilities discussed above, Dominion Energy has also entered into various agreements to install solar facilities, primarily at schools in Virginia, with in-service dates in 2020 or 2021. Through October 2020, Dominion Energy anticipates a total projected cost of approximately $41 million under these agreements with an associated aggregate generation capacity of 20 MW. Dominion Energy has claimed or expects to claim federal investment tax credits on the projects.

Acquisition of Gathering and Processing Assets

In March 2020, Wexpro closed on an agreement with a natural gas gathering systems operator to purchase existing natural gas gathering systems including pipelines, compressors and dehydration equipment for total consideration of $38 million. These facilities gather natural gas in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.

Non-Wholly-Owned Merchant Solar Facilities

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

Note 13. Regulatory Matters

Regulatory Matters Involving Potential Loss Contingencies

As a result of issues generated in the ordinary course of business, the Companies are involved in various regulatory matters. Certain regulatory matters may ultimately result in a loss; however, as such matters are in an initial procedural phase, involve uncertainty as to the outcome of pending reviews or orders, and/or involve significant factual issues that need to be resolved, it is not possible for the Companies to estimate a range of possible loss. For regulatory matters that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the regulatory process such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For regulatory matters that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any estimated range is based on currently available information, involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties and may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such regulatory matters will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current matters not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

FERC – Gas

DETI

In July 2017, FERC audit staff communicated to DETI that it had substantially completed an audit of DETI’s compliance with the accounting and reporting requirements of FERC’s Uniform System of Accounts and provided a description of matters and preliminary recommendations. In November 2017, the FERC audit staff issued its audit report which could have the potential to result in adjustments which could have been material to Dominion Energy’s results of operations. In December 2017, DETI provided its response to the audit report. DETI reached resolution of certain matters with FERC in the fourth quarter of 2018. In November 2020, Dominion Energy completed the sale of DETI as part of the GT&S Transaction.

2017 Tax Reform Act

Other than the items discussed below, which are pending or have been resolved during the period, there have been no changes to the 2017 Tax Reform Act matters discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In March 2019, Questar Gas filed with the Utah and Wyoming Commissions as to the impact of excess deferred income taxes resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform Act. Questar Gas proposed to return the 2018 amortization of excess deferred income taxes to customers and to incorporate the remaining excess deferred income tax impact in its next general rate cases in each jurisdiction. In March 2020, the Utah Commission issued an order approving Questar Gas’ proposal to refund the January 2019 through February 2020 amortization of excess deferred income taxes over 12 months beginning in June 2020. In April 2020, at the request of the Wyoming Commission, this matter was considered in conjunction with the base rate case that was filed in November 2019. In June 2020, the Wyoming Commission approved a proposal to share the benefits of deferred income taxes for the period January 2018 through August 2020 with customers over a one-year period beginning in September 2020. In addition, new base rates that went into effect in September 2020 include the prospective impacts of sharing excess deferred income taxes with customers.

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. In December 2019, the Ohio Commission issued an order approving customer credits of approximately $600 million that will be shared with customers primarily over the remaining book life of the property to which the excess deferred income taxes relate. In addition, East Ohio will reduce rates approximately $19 million per year to account for the 2017 Tax Reform Act’s impact on its equity return component of rates charged to customers. A tax savings credit, which passes through the reduction in the federal income tax rate under the 2017 Tax Reform Act to customers in accordance with the settlement agreement approved by the Ohio Commission, became effective with the first billing cycle in April 2020.

Other Regulatory Matters

Other than the following matters, there have been no significant developments regarding the pending regulatory matters disclosed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Virginia Regulation

Virginia 2020 Legislation

In April 2020, the Governor of Virginia signed into law the VCEA, which along with related legislation forms a comprehensive framework affecting Virginia Power’s operations. The VCEA replaces Virginia’s voluntary renewable energy portfolio standard for Virginia Power with a mandatory program setting annual renewable energy portfolio standard requirements based on the percentage of total electric energy sold by Virginia Power, excluding existing nuclear generation and certain new carbon-free resources, reaching 100% by the end of 2045. The VCEA includes related requirements concerning deployment of wind, solar and energy storage resources, as well as provides for certain measures to increase net-metering, including an allocation for low-income customers, incentivizes energy efficiency programs and directs Virginia to participate in a carbon trading program. While the legislation affects several portions of Virginia Power’s operations, key provisions of the GTSA remain in effect, including the triennial review structure and timing, the use of the customer credit reinvestment offset and the $50 million cap on revenue reductions in the first triennial review proceeding. Key provisions of the VCEA and related legislation passed include the following:

Fossil Fuel Electric Generation: The legislation mandates Chesterfield Power Station Units 5 & 6 and Yorktown Power Station Unit 3 to be retired by the end of 2024, Altavista, Southampton and Hopewell to be retired by the end of 2028 and Virginia Power’s remaining fossil fuel units to be retired by the end of 2045, unless the retirement of such generating units will compromise grid reliability or security. The legislation also imposes a temporary moratorium on CPCNs for fossil fuel generation, unless the resources are needed for grid reliability. In addition, the Virginia Commission shall determine the amortization period for recovery of any appropriate costs due to the early retirement of any electric generation facilities, which could result in the reversal of previous retirement costs deemed recovered during the review period ending 2020. As discussed in Note 2, Virginia Power had recorded charges for early retirement of certain coal- and -oil fired generating units in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019. Virginia Power also revised the depreciable lives of Altavista, Southampton and Hopewell for the mandated retirement to the end of 2028, which will not have a material impact to Virginia Power’s results of operations or cash flows given the existing regulatory framework.

Renewable Generation: The legislation provides a detailed renewable energy portfolio standard to achieve 100% zero-carbon generation by the end of 2045, excluding existing nuclear generation and certain new carbon-free resources. Components include requirements to petition the Virginia Commission for approval to construct or acquire new generating capacity to reach 16.1 GW of installed solar and onshore wind by the end of 2035, which includes specific requirements for utility-scale solar of 3.0 GW by the end of 2024, up to 15.0 GW by the end of 2035 and 1.1 GW of small-scale solar by the end of 2035. The legislation deems 2,700 MW of energy storage, including up to 800 MW for any one project which may include a pumped storage facility, by the end of 2035 to be in the public interest. The legislation also deems the construction or purchase of an offshore wind facility constructed off the Virginia coast with a capacity of up to 5,200 MW before 2035 to be in the public interest and provides certain presumptions facilitating cost recovery. The costs of such a facility constructed by the utility with a capacity between 2,500 and 3,000 MW will be presumed reasonably and prudently incurred if the Virginia Commission finds that the project meets competitive procurement requirements, the projected cost of the facility does not exceed a specified industry benchmark and the utility commences construction by the end of 2023 or has a plan for the facility to be in service by the end of 2027. Projects to meet these requirements are subject to approval by the Virginia Commission.

Energy Efficiency: The legislation includes an energy efficiency target of 5% energy savings, as measured from a 2019 baseline, through verifiable energy efficiency programs by the end of 2025 with future targets to be set by the Virginia Commission. Virginia Power has the opportunity to offset the lost revenues with margins on program spend if certain targets are achieved and can also seek recovery of the lost revenues associated with energy efficiency programs if such reductions

are found to have caused Virginia Power to earn more than 50 basis points below a fair rate of return on its rates for generation and distribution services.

Carbon trading program: The legislation directs Virginia Power to participate in a market-based carbon trading program consistent with RGGI through 2050. All costs of the carbon trading program are recoverable through an environmental rider.

Low-income customers: The legislation includes the establishment of a percentage of income payment program to be administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development and the Virginia Department of Social Services. To fund the program, Virginia Power will remit amounts collected from customers under a universal service fee established and set by the Virginia Commission. As such, this program will not affect Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Virginia Power expects to incur significant costs, including capital expenditures, to comply with the legislative requirements discussed above. The legislation allows for cost recovery under the existing or modified regulatory framework through rate adjustment clauses, rates for generation and distribution services or Virginia Power’s fuel factor, as approved by the Virginia Commission. Costs allocated to the North Carolina jurisdiction will be recovered, subject to approval by the North Carolina Commission, in accordance with the existing regulatory framework.

In May 2020 and July 2020, Virginia Power entered into and closed on separate agreements to acquire Grassfield Solar, Norge Solar and Sycamore Solar. The projects are expected to cost approximately $170 million in aggregate once constructed, including the initial acquisition cost. The facilities are expected to generate 82 MW combined and be placed into service by the end of 2022. In October 2020, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for CPCNs to construct and operate these projects. Virginia Power also applied for approval of Rider CE associated with the projects with a proposed $11 million revenue requirement for the rate year beginning June 1, 2021. This matter is pending.

Grid Transformation and Security Act of 2018

In July 2018, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission for approval of the first three years of its ten-year plan for electric distribution grid transformation projects as authorized by the GTSA. During the first three years of the plan, Virginia Power proposed to focus on the following seven foundational components of the overall grid transformation plan: (i) smart meters; (ii) customer information platform; (iii) reliability and resilience; (iv) telecommunications infrastructure; (v) cyber and physical security; (vi) predictive analytics; and (vii) emerging technology. The total estimated capital investment during 2019-2021 was $816 million and the proposed operations and maintenance expenses were $102 million. In January 2019, the Virginia Commission issued its final order approving capital spending for the first three years of the plan totaling $68 million on cyber and physical security and related telecommunications infrastructure (Phase IA). The Virginia Commission declined to approve the remainder of the proposed components for the first three years of the plan, the proposed spending for which was not found reasonable and prudent based on the record in the proceeding.

In September 2019, Virginia Power filed a revised plan which includes six components: (i) smart meters; (ii) customer information platform; (iii) grid improvement projects; (iv) telecommunications infrastructure; (v) cyber security; and (vi) a smart charging electric vehicle infrastructure pilot program (Phase IB). For Phase IB, the total proposed capital investment during 2019 – 2021 was $503 million and the proposed operations and maintenance investment was $78 million. In March 2020, the Virginia Commission issued an order approving $212 million of costs related to a new customer information platform, targeted grid hardening and corridor improvements, an electric vehicle Smart Charging Infrastructure Pilot Program, cyber security, stakeholder engagement and customer education and denied the costs associated with AMI, self-healing grid and certain other grid hardening projects alleging that Virginia Power did not prove the reasonableness and prudency of these costs. In April 2020, Virginia Power filed a petition for reconsideration of the Virginia Commission’s order and requested clarification of certain matters, including the Smart Charging Infrastructure Pilot Program. Additionally, Virginia Power requested clarification of certain matters relating to an AMI time-of-use rate and the smart charging electric vehicle infrastructure pilot program. Subsequently, in April 2020, the Virginia Commission denied in full Virginia Power’s petition for reconsideration; however, it stated that its March 2020 order contained all necessary approvals for the smart charging electric vehicle infrastructure pilot program. Virginia Power intends to file a revised plan that will address the elements needed for a comprehensive plan, as outlined by the Virginia Commission in its order.

Solar Facility Projects

In July 2019, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for a CPCN to construct Sadler Solar, which is estimated to cost approximately $146 million, excluding financing costs. Sadler Solar is expected to commence commercial operations, subject to regulatory approvals associated with the project, in the first quarter of 2021. Virginia Power also applied for approval of Rider US-4 associated with this project with a proposed $9 million total revenue requirement for the rate year beginning June 1, 2020. In January 2020, the Virginia Commission issued a final order granting the CPCN to construct Sadler Solar, subject to a

20 year performance guarantee of the facility at a 22% solar capacity factor when normalized for force majeure events. In March 2020, the Virginia Commission approved a $7 million total annual revenue requirement.

Virginia Fuel Expenses

In February 2020, Virginia Power filed its annual fuel factor with the Virginia Commission to recover an estimated $1.2 billion in Virginia jurisdictional projected fuel expenses for the rate year beginning July 1, 2020 and a projected over-recovery of approximately $81 million for the prior year balance as of June 30, 2020. Virginia Power requested that the new fuel factor rate be implemented on an interim basis two months early, beginning on May 1, 2020. In March 2020, the Virginia Commission approved the interim rates. Virginia Power’s proposed fuel rate represents a fuel revenue decrease of approximately $393 million when applied to projected kilowatt-hour sales for the rate year beginning May 1, 2020. In June 2020, the Virginia Commission approved a revised fuel rate based on an updated projected over-recovery of $103 million for the prior year balance as of June 30, 2020.

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 2020, Virginia Power proposed a $1.0 billion total revenue requirement consisting of $474 million for the transmission component of Virginia Power’s base rates and $529 million for Rider T1 for the rate year beginning September 1, 2020. This total revenue requirement represents a $73 million increase versus the revenues to be produced during the rate year under current rates. In July 2020, the Virginia Commission approved the filing.

•

The Virginia Commission previously approved Riders C1A, C2A and C3A in connection with cost recovery for DSM programs. In December 2019, Virginia Power filed a petition to approve an additional 10 new energy efficiency programs and one new demand response DSM program for five years, subject to future extension, with a $186 million cost cap, and proposed a total $60 million revenue requirement for the rate year beginning September 1, 2020. This total revenue requirement represents an $11 million increase over the previous year. In July 2020, the Virginia Commission approved the filing.

•

The Virginia Commission previously approved Rider U in conjunction with cost recovery to move certain electric distribution facilities underground as authorized by Virginia legislation. In June 2020, Virginia Power proposed an $80 million total revenue requirement consisting of $44 million for previously approved phases and $36 million for phase five costs for Rider U for the rate year beginning April 1, 2021. This total revenue requirement represents a $28 million increase over the previous year. This matter is pending.

North Carolina Regulation

North Carolina Base Rate Case

In March 2019, Virginia Power filed its base rate case and schedules with the North Carolina Commission. Virginia Power proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $27 million effective November 1, 2019 on an interim basis subject to refund, with any permanent rates ordered by the North Carolina Commission effective January 1, 2020. The base rate increase was proposed to recover the significant investments in generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure for the benefit of North Carolina customers. Virginia Power presented an earned return of 7.52% based upon a fully-adjusted test period, compared to its authorized 9.90% return, and proposed a 10.75% ROE. In September 2019, Virginia Power revised its filing to reduce the non-fuel base rate increase to $24 million. In January 2020, the North Carolina Commission approved a 9.75% ROE and disallowed certain costs associated with coal ash remediation at Chesterfield power station. In February 2020, the North Carolina Commission issued its final order relating to base rates. In July 2020, Virginia Power filed a notice of appeal and exceptions to the Supreme Court of North Carolina, arguing that the North Carolina Commission committed reversible error on certain issues relating to the ratemaking treatment of certain coal ash remediation costs. This matter is pending.

North Carolina Fuel Filing

In August 2020, 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 $15 million decrease to the fuel component of its electric rates for the rate year beginning February 1, 2021. This matter is pending.

Pipeline Integrity and Safety Program

The North Carolina Commission has authorized PSNC to use a tracker mechanism to recover the incurred capital investment and associated costs of complying with federal standards for pipeline integrity and safety requirements that are not in current base rates. In February 2020, the North Carolina Commission approved PSNC’s request to increase the integrity management annual revenue requirement to $28 million, an increase of $7 million over its previous filing, effective March 2020.

South Carolina Regulation

South Carolina Electric Base Rate Case

In August 2020, DESC filed its retail electric base rate case and schedules with the South Carolina Commission. DESC proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $178 million, or 7.75%, effective on or after the first billing cycle of March 2021. The base rate increase was proposed to recover the significant investment in assets and operating resources required to serve an expanding customer base, maintain the safety, reliability and efficiency of DESC’s system and meet increasingly stringent reliability, security and environmental requirements for the benefit of South Carolina customers. DESC presented an earned ROE of 5.90% based upon a fully-adjusted test period. The proposed rates would provide for an earned ROE equal to the current authorized earned ROE of 10.25%. This matter is pending.

DSM Programs

DESC has approval for a DSM rider through which it recovers expenditures related to its DSM programs. In January 2020, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission seeking approval to recover $40 million of costs and net lost revenues associated with these programs, along with an incentive to invest in such programs. In April 2020, the South Carolina Commission approved the filing.

Cost of Fuel

In February 2020, DESC filed a proposal with the South Carolina Commission to decrease the total fuel cost component of retail electric rates. DESC’s proposed decrease would reduce annual base fuel component recoveries by $44 million and is projected to return to customers the existing over-collected balance while recovering DESC’s current base fuel costs over the 12-month period beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2020. In addition, DESC proposed an increase to its variable environmental and distributed energy resource components. In April 2020, the South Carolina Commission approved the filing.

Electric Transmission Projects

In 2020, DESC began several electric transmission projects in connection with two new nuclear plants under development by Southern. These transmission projects are required to be in place prior to these plants beginning operations to maintain reliability. DESC anticipates the projects to go into service in phases, costing approximately $75 million in aggregate. In February 2020, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission requesting approval to construct and operate 28 miles of 230 kV transmission lines in Aiken County, South Carolina estimated to cost approximately $30 million. In June 2020, the South Carolina Commission approved the filing.

Natural Gas Rates

In June 2020, DESC filed with the South Carolina Commission its monitoring report for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2020 with a total revenue requirement of $409 million. This represents a $9 million overall annual increase to its natural gas rates under the terms of the Natural Gas Rate Stabilization Act effective with the first billing cycle of November 2020. In October 2020, the South Carolina Commission approved a total revenue requirement of $406 million effective with the first billing cycle of November 2020. This represents a $6 million overall annual increase to DESC’s natural gas rates. Additionally, the South Carolina Commission authorized an allowed ROE of 9.90%, a reduction from the prior ROE of 10.25%. The South Carolina Commission also approved an agreement between the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff and DESC that DESC will file its next retail natural gas general rate proceeding no later than April 2023.

Ohio Regulation

PIR Program

In 2008, East Ohio began PIR, aimed at replacing approximately 25% of its pipeline system. In April 2020, the Ohio Commission approved East Ohio’s application to adjust the PIR recovery for 2019 costs. The filing reflects gross plant investment for 2019 of $209 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $1.8 billion and an annual revenue requirement of $218 million.

West Virginia Regulation

West Virginia Base Rate Case

In September 2020, Hope filed its base rate case and schedules with the West Virginia Commission. Hope proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $28 million. The base rate increase was proposed to recover the significant investment in distribution infrastructure and costs associated with the acquisition of over 2,000 miles of gathering assets, both for the benefit of West Virginia customers. The proposed rates would provide for an ROE of 10.25% compared to the authorized ROE of 9.45%. The rates are expected to go into effect in July 2021. This matter is pending.

PREP

In May 2020, Hope filed a PREP application with the West Virginia Commission requesting approval to recover PREP costs related to $39 million and $54 million of projected capital investment for 2020 and 2021, respectively. The application also includes a true-up of PREP costs related to the 2019 actual capital investment of $27 million and sets forth $13 million of annual PREP costs to be recovered in proposed rates effective November 1, 2020. In October 2020, the West Virginia Commission approved PREP rates effective November 1, 2020.

Utah Regulation

Rural Expansion Project

In December 2019, Questar Gas filed an application with the Utah Commission for a CPCN to construct natural gas infrastructure to extend service to Eureka, Utah. The project is expected to include 11 miles of high-pressure pipeline and up to 360 service lines and to be in service in late 2021. Questar Gas also requested approval of a rural expansion rate adjustment tracker to recover the construction costs of the project. In August 2020, the Utah Commission approved the CPCN and the rural expansion rate adjustment tracker.

Wyoming Regulation

Wyoming Base Rate Case

In November 2019, Questar Gas filed its base rate case and schedules with the Wyoming Commission. Questar Gas proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $4 million effective September 2020. The base rate increase was proposed to replace aging infrastructure and expand its system. Questar Gas presented an earned return of 7.46%, based upon a fully-adjusted test period, compared to its authorized 9.5% return, and proposed a 10.5% ROE. In June 2020, the Wyoming Commission approved a base rate increase of $2 million annually, with rates effective September 1, 2020. This revenue requirement increase was based on an approved ROE of 9.35%.

Note 14. Leases

Other than the items discussed below, there have been no significant changes regarding the Companies’ leases as described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income include $61 million and $146 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $64 million and $146 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, of rental revenue included in operating revenue. Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income include $26 million and $76 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $23 million and $70 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, of depreciation expense included in depreciation, depletion and amortization, related to facilities subject to power purchase agreements under which Dominion Energy is the lessor.

Corporate Office Leasing Arrangement

In December 2019, Dominion Energy signed an agreement with a lessor, as amended in May 2020, to construct and lease a new corporate office property in Richmond, Virginia. The lessor is providing equity and has obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $465 million, to fund the estimated project costs. If Dominion Energy ultimately proceeds with the project through completion, the project is expected to be completed by September 2024. Dominion Energy has been appointed to act as the construction agent for the lessor, during which time Dominion Energy will request cash draws from the lessor and debt investors to fund all project costs. If the project is terminated under certain events, Dominion Energy could be required to pay up to 100% of the then funded amount.

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 third party using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the highest cash purchase price for the property. If the project is sold and the proceeds from the sale are insufficient to repay the investors for the project costs, Dominion Energy may be required to make a payment to the lessor, up to 83% of project costs, for the difference between the project costs and sale proceeds. Dominion Energy is not considered the owner during construction for financial accounting purposes and, therefore, will not reflect the construction activity in its consolidated financial statements. Dominion Energy expects to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding finance lease liability at the commencement of the lease term. Dominion Energy will be considered the owner of the leased property for tax purposes, and as a result, will be entitled to tax deductions for depreciation and interest expense.

Note 15. Variable Interest Entities

There have been no significant changes regarding the entities the Companies consider VIEs as described in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Dominion Energy

At both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy’s securities due within one year included $31 million, and at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 Dominion Energy’s long-term debt included $260 million and $267 million, respectively, of debt issued by SBL Holdco, a VIE, net of issuance costs, that is nonrecourse to Dominion Energy and is secured by SBL Holdco’s interest in certain merchant solar facilities.

Virginia Power

Virginia Power had a long-term power and capacity contract with one non-utility generator with an aggregate summer generation capacity of approximately 218 MW. In May 2019, Virginia Power entered into an agreement and paid $135 million to terminate the remaining contract with the non-utility generator, effective April 2019. A $135 million ($100 million after-tax) charge was recorded in impairment of assets and other charges in Virginia Power’s Consolidated Statements of Income during the second quarter of 2019. Virginia Power paid $13 million for electric capacity and $1 million for electric energy to the non-utility generator in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Virginia Power purchased shared services from DES, an affiliated VIE, of $81 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, $83 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, $260 million for the nine months ended September, 30, 2020 and $301 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Virginia Power’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include amounts due to DES of $171 million and $102 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, recorded in payables to affiliates.

Note 16. Significant Financing Transactions

Credit Facilities and Short-term Debt

The Companies use short-term debt to fund working capital requirements and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the year, depending upon the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. In addition, Dominion Energy utilizes cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements. Collateral requirements are impacted by commodity prices, hedging levels, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings and the credit quality of its counterparties.

Dominion Energy

At September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy’s commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding, as well as its capacity available under the credit facility, were as follows:

(1)	This credit facility matures in March 2023 and can be used by the borrowers under the credit facility to support bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper, as well as to support up to a combined $2.0 billion of letters of credit.

(2)	In October 2020, the joint revolving credit facility was amended to remove Dominion Energy Gas as a co-borrower.

In addition to the credit facility mentioned above, Dominion Energy also has a credit facility which had an original stated maturity date of June 2020 and allowed Dominion Energy to issue up to approximately $21 million in letters of credit. In May 2020, the credit facility was amended to increase the facility capacity to approximately $30 million and extend the maturity date to June 2022. At September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy had $28 million in letters of credit outstanding under this agreement.

In March 2020, Dominion Energy entered into a $900 million 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement. The agreement bears interest at a variable rate. At September 30, 2020, $225 million was outstanding under the agreement. The proceeds from these borrowings were used to provide for general working capital and other general corporate purposes. The maximum allowed total debt to total capital ratio under the agreement is consistent with such allowed ratio under Dominion Energy’s joint revolving credit facility.

DESC and Questar Gas’ short-term financings are supported through access as co-borrowers to the joint revolving credit facility discussed above with the Companies. At September 30, 2020, the sub-limits for DESC and Questar Gas were $500 million and $250 million, respectively.

In January 2020, DESC and GENCO applied to FERC for a two-year short-term borrowing authorization. In March 2020, FERC granted DESC authority through March 2021 to issue short-term indebtedness (pursuant to Section 204 of the Federal Power Act) in amounts not to exceed $2.2 billion outstanding with maturity dates of one year or less. In addition, in March 2020, FERC granted GENCO authority through March 2021 to issue short-term indebtedness not to exceed $200 million outstanding with maturity dates of one year or less.

In addition to the credit facilities mentioned above, SBL Holdco has $30 million of credit facilities which had an original stated maturity date of December 2017 with automatic one-year renewals through the maturity of the SBL Holdco term loan agreement in 2023. Dominion Solar Projects III, Inc. has $25 million of credit facilities which had an original stated maturity date of May 2018 with automatic one-year renewals through the maturity of the Dominion Solar Projects III, Inc. term loan agreement in 2024. At September 30, 2020, no amounts were outstanding under either of these facilities.

In March 2020, Dominion Energy borrowed $500 million under a 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement that bears interest at a variable rate. The proceeds were used to provide for general working capital and other general corporate purposes. These borrowings are presented within securities due within one year in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2020. The maximum allowed total debt to total capital ratio under the agreement is consistent with such allowed ratio under Dominion Energy’s joint revolving credit facility.

In April 2020, Dominion Energy borrowed $625 million under a 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement that bore interest at a variable rate. The proceeds were used to provide for general working capital and other general corporate purposes. In June 2020, Dominion Energy repaid the outstanding balance in full.

In November 2017, Dominion Energy filed a SEC shelf registration statement for the sale of up to $3.0 billion of variable denomination floating rate demand notes, called Dominion Energy Reliability Investment^SM. In October 2020, Dominion Energy filed a new SEC shelf registration statement associated with this program. The registration limits the principal amount that may be outstanding at any one time to $1.0 billion. The notes are offered on a continuous basis and bear interest at a floating rate per annum determined by the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Committee, or its designee, on a weekly basis. The notes have no stated maturity date, are non-transferable and may be redeemed in whole or in part by Dominion Energy or at the investor’s option at any time. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $215 million and $75 million, respectively, presented within short-term debt. The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.

Virginia Power

Virginia Power’s short-term financing is supported through its access as co-borrower to the joint revolving credit facility. This credit facility can be used for working capital, as support for the combined commercial paper programs of the borrowers under the credit facility and for other general corporate purposes.

At September 30, 2020, Virginia Power’s share of commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding under the joint revolving credit facility was as follows:

The full amount of the facility is available to Virginia Power, less any amounts outstanding to co-borrowers Dominion Energy, Questar Gas and DESC. The sub-limit for Virginia Power is set within the facility limit but can be changed at the option of the borrowers under the credit facility multiple times per year. At September 30, 2020, the sub-limit for Virginia Power was $1.5 billion. If Virginia Power has liquidity needs in excess of its sub-limit, the sub-limit may be changed or such needs may be satisfied through short-term intercompany borrowings from Dominion Energy. This credit facility matures in March 2023 and can be used to support bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper, as well as to support up to $2.0 billion (or the sub-limit, whichever is less) of letters of credit.

(2)

In October 2020, the joint revolving credit facility was amended to remove Dominion Energy Gas as a co-borrower.

Long-term Debt

Unless otherwise noted, the proceeds of long-term debt issuances were used for general corporate purposes and/or to repay short-term debt.

In February 2020, Dominion Energy redeemed the remaining principal outstanding of $111 million and $286 million of its June 2006 hybrids and its September 2006 hybrids, respectively, both of which would have otherwise matured in 2066. All purchases were conducted in compliance with the applicable RCC, each of which was terminated in February 2020. Expenses related to the early redemption of the hybrids were $10 million reflected within interest and related charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

In March 2020, SCANA redeemed its floating rate senior notes at the remaining principal balance of $66 million plus accrued interest. The notes would have otherwise matured in June 2034. Expenses related to the early redemption of the senior notes were $7 million reflected within interest and related charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

In March 2020, SCANA redeemed the remaining principal outstanding of $183 million of its 4.75% medium-term notes and $155 million of its 4.125% medium-term notes plus accrued interest and make-whole premiums. The notes would have otherwise matured in May 2021 and February 2022, respectively. Total expenses related to the early redemption of the medium-term notes were $14 million reflected within interest and related charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

In March 2020, Dominion Energy issued $400 million of 3.30% senior notes and $350 million of 3.60% senior notes that mature in 2025 and 2027, respectively.

In March 2020, PSNC issued, through private placement, $200 million of 4.05% senior notes that mature in 2030.

In April 2020, Dominion Energy issued $1.5 billion of 3.375% senior notes that mature in 2030.

In April 2020, Dominion Energy purchased and canceled $7 million of its 2.579% junior subordinated notes that mature in July 2020. In June 2020, Dominion Energy prepaid the remaining balance of $993 million.

In June 2020, East Ohio issued, through private placement, $500 million of 1.30% senior notes, $500 million of 2.00% senior notes and $800 million of 3.00% senior notes that mature in 2025, 2030 and 2050, respectively. East Ohio used the proceeds from this offering to repay intercompany promissory notes with Dominion Energy Gas and a portion of its intercompany revolving credit agreement balance with Dominion Energy.

In June 2020, Virginia Power remarketed one series of tax-exempt bonds, with an aggregate outstanding principal of $105 million to new investors. The bonds will bear interest at a coupon rate of 1.20% until May 2024, after which they will bear interest at a market rate to be determined at that time.

In September 2020, Virginia Power remarketed three series of tax-exempt bonds, with an aggregate outstanding principal of $322 million to new investors. One of the bonds will bear interest at a coupon rate of 0.45% until April 2022, after which it will bear interest at a market rate to be determined at that time. Two of the bonds will bear interest at a coupon rate of 0.75% until September 2025, after which they will bear interest at a market rate to be determined at that time.

In September 2020, Dominion Energy issued $1.0 billion of floating rate senior notes that mature in 2023.

Derivative Restructuring

In June 2020, Dominion Energy amended a portfolio of interest rate swaps with a notional value of $2.0 billion, extending the mandatory termination dates from 2020 and 2021 to December 2024. The transaction is viewed as a noncash financing activity with an embedded interest rate swap. As a result, in June 2020, Dominion Energy recorded $326 million in other long-term debt, representing the net present value of the initial fair value measurement of the new contract with an imputed interest rate of 1.19%, in its Consolidated Balance Sheets with an embedded interest rate derivative that had a fair value of zero at inception.

In August 2020, Virginia Power amended a portfolio of interest rate swaps with a notional value of $900 million, extending the mandatory termination dates from 2020 to December 2023. The transaction is viewed as a noncash financing activity with an embedded interest rate swap. As a result, in August 2020, Virginia Power recorded $443 million in other long-term debt, representing the net present value of the initial fair value measurement of the new contract with an imputed interest rate of 0.34%, in its Consolidated Balance Sheets with an embedded interest rate derivative that had a fair value of zero at inception. The interest rate swaps were in a hedge relationship prior to the transaction. Virginia Power de-designated the hedge relationships prior to the transaction and then designated the new interest rate swap in a hedge relationship after the transaction.

Noncontrolling Interest in Dominion Energy Midstream

In January 2019, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Midstream closed on an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which Dominion Energy acquired each outstanding common unit representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream not already owned by Dominion Energy through the issuance of 22.5 million shares of common stock valued at $1.6 billion. Under the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, each publicly held outstanding common unit representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream was converted into the right to receive 0.2492 shares of Dominion Energy common stock. Immediately prior to the closing, each Series A Preferred Unit representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream was converted into common units representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream in accordance with the terms of Dominion Energy Midstream’s partnership agreement. 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 was recognized. In connection with the merger, Dominion Energy recognized $40 million of income taxes in equity primarily attributable to establishing additional regulatory liabilities related to excess deferred income taxes and changes in state income taxes.

2019 Corporate Units

In June 2019, Dominion Energy issued $1.6 billion of 2019 Equity Units, initially in the form of 2019 Series A Corporate Units. The Corporate Units are listed on the NYSE under the symbol DCUE. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to repay short-term debt, including commercial paper.

Each 2019 Series A Corporate Unit consists of a stock purchase contract and a 1/10, or 10%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in one share of Series A Preferred Stock. Beginning in June 2022, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into Dominion Energy common stock under a formula based upon the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock prior to the conversion date. The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable in cash by Dominion Energy beginning September 2022 at the liquidation preference. Settlement of any conversion is payable in cash, common stock or a combination thereof, at Dominion Energy’s election.

The stock purchase contracts obligate the holders to purchase shares of Dominion Energy common stock in June 2022. The purchase price to be paid under the stock purchase contracts is $100 per Corporate Unit and the number of shares to be purchased will be determined under a formula based upon the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock near the settlement date. The Series A Preferred Stock was pledged upon issuance as collateral to secure the purchase of common stock under the related stock purchase contracts.

Dominion Energy pays cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and quarterly contract adjustment payments on the stock purchase contracts, at the rates described below. Dominion Energy may elect to pay such dividends and/or payments in cash, shares of Dominion Energy common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Dominion Energy common stock. Dominion Energy may defer the contract adjustment payments 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 distributions related to its capital stock, including dividends, redemptions, repurchases or liquidation payments. Also, during the deferral period, Dominion Energy may not make any payments on or redeem, repay or repurchase any debt securities that are equal in right of payment with, or subordinated to, the contract adjustment payments or make any payment on any guarantee of a security of a subsidiary if the guarantee ranks equal or junior to the contract adjustment payments. Unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, Dominion Energy may not make any distributions on any of its capital stock ranking equal or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, as applicable, including dividends, redemptions, repurchases or liquidation payments. In such circumstances, Dominion Energy also may not make any contract adjustment payments or other similar types of payments, subject to certain exceptions.

Dominion Energy has recorded the present value of the stock purchase contract payments as a liability offset to common stock. Stock purchase contract payments are recorded against this 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 stock purchase contracts and the if-converted method to the Series A Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the stock purchase contracts, assuming no anti-dilution or other adjustments, the maximum number of shares of common stock Dominion Energy will issue in June 2022 is 21.8 million.

(3)	Payments of $62 million and $17 million were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The stock purchase contract liability was $150 million and $212 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Series B Preferred Stock

In December 2019, Dominion Energy issued 800,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $791 million, net of $9 million of issuance costs. The preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and currently pays a 4.65% dividend per share on the liquidation preference. Dividends are paid cumulatively on a semi-annual basis, commencing June 15, 2020. Dominion Energy recorded dividends of $9 million ($11.625 per share) and $27 million ($34.875 per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The dividend rate for the Series B Preferred Stock will be reset every five years beginning on December 15, 2024 to equal the then-current five-year U.S. Treasury rate plus a spread of 2.993%. Unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, Dominion Energy may not make any distributions on any of its capital stock ranking equal or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, including through dividends, redemptions, repurchases or otherwise.

Dominion Energy may, at its option, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock in whole or in part on December 15, 2024 or on any subsequent fifth anniversary of such date at a price equal to $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. Dominion Energy may also, at its option, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock in whole but not in part at a price equal to $1,020 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends at any time within a certain period of time following any change in the criteria ratings agencies use to assign equity credit to securities such as the Series B Preferred Stock that has certain adverse effects on the equity credit actually received by the Series B Preferred Stock.

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights except in the limited circumstances provided for in the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock or as otherwise required by applicable law. The Series B Preferred Stock is not subject to any sinking fund or other obligation of Dominion Energy’s to redeem, repurchase or retire the Series B Preferred Stock. The preferred stock contains no conversion rights.

Issuance of Common Stock

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 above.

Dominion Energy maintains Dominion Energy Direct® and a number of employee savings plans through which contributions may be invested in Dominion Energy’s common stock. These shares may either be newly issued or purchased on the open market with proceeds contributed to these plans. In August 2020, Dominion Energy began purchasing its common stock on the open market for these direct stock purchase plans.

In September 2020, Dominion Energy issued 4.1 million shares of its common stock to satisfy its obligation under a settlement agreement for the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case discussed in Note 17. These shares were immediately repurchased as discussed below.

At-the-Market Program

In June 2017, Dominion Energy filed an SEC shelf registration statement for the sale of debt and equity securities including the ability to sell common stock through an at-the-market program as discussed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In March 2020, Dominion Energy entered into four separate sales agency agreements to effect sales under a new at-the-market program and pursuant to which it had the ability to offer from time to time up to $500 million aggregate amount of its common stock. Dominion Energy did not issue any shares under this program which expired in June 2020. In June 2020, Dominion Energy filed a new shelf registration statement for the sale of debt and equity securities including the ability to sell common stock through an at-the-market program. In August 2020, Dominion Energy entered into five separate sales agency agreements to effect sales under a new at-the-market program. Under the sales agency agreements, Dominion Energy may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of its common stock through the sales agents or enter into one or more forward sale agreements with respect to shares of its common stock. Sales by Dominion Energy through the sales agents or by forward sellers pursuant to a forward sale agreement cannot exceed $1.0 billion in the aggregate. Dominion Energy has not issued any shares or entered into any forward sale agreements under this new program.

Repurchase of Common Stock

In July 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of Dominion Energy’s common stock and rescinded the prior two authorizations from 2005 and 2007. The repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price or volume targets and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise at the discretion of management subject to prevailing market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors. In August 2020, Dominion Energy began repurchasing shares under an open market agreement with a financial institution. During the third quarter of 2020, Dominion Energy repurchased 7.2 million shares of Dominion Energy common stock for $562 million.

In September 2020, Dominion Energy entered into two prepaid accelerated share repurchase agreements with separate financial institutions as counterparties. Dominion Energy made payments totaling $1.5 billion to the counterparties in exchange for an aggregate of approximately 17.2 million shares of Dominion Energy common stock, which represents approximately 90% of $1.5 billion worth of Dominion Energy shares based on the closing price of such shares on the date the agreements were executed. Dominion Energy recorded a reduction to common stock of $1.5 billion during the third quarter of 2020. Dominion Energy anticipates that the total final number of shares repurchased under the terms of the agreements will be determined by December 2020. Such number will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average stock prices of Dominion Energy’s common stock during the term of the applicable purchase period, less a discount.

In September 2020, Dominion Energy repurchased 4.1 million shares of Dominion Energy common stock in a private transaction for $323 million.

In November 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of Dominion Energy’s common stock in addition to the repurchase program authorized in July 2020. The repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price or volume targets and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be purchased through the open market or

privately negotiated transactions or otherwise at the discretion of management subject to prevailing market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors.

Dividend Restrictions

At September 30, 2020, DESC’s retained earnings exceed the balance established by the Federal Power Act as a reserve on earnings attributable to hydroelectric generation plants. As a result, DESC is permitted to pay dividends without additional regulatory approval provided that such amounts would not bring the retained earnings balance below the threshold. There have been no other significant changes to dividend restrictions affecting the Companies described in Note 21, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies

As a result of issues generated in the ordinary course of business, the Companies are involved in legal proceedings before various courts and are periodically subject to governmental examinations (including by regulatory authorities), inquiries and investigations. Certain legal proceedings and governmental examinations involve demands for unspecified amounts of damages, are in an initial procedural phase, involve uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, or involve significant factual issues that need to be resolved, such that it is not possible for the Companies to estimate a range of possible loss. For such matters that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the litigation or investigative processes such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For legal proceedings and governmental examinations that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any accrued liability is recorded on a gross basis with a receivable also recorded for any probable insurance recoveries. Estimated ranges of loss are inclusive of legal fees and net of any anticipated insurance recoveries. Any estimated range is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such legal proceedings and governmental examinations will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current proceedings not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Environmental Matters

The Companies are subject to costs resulting from a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. These laws and regulations affect future planning and existing operations. They can result in increased capital, operating and other costs as a result of compliance, remediation, containment and monitoring obligations.

Air

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

In February 2019, the EPA published a proposed rule to reverse its previous finding that it is appropriate and necessary to regulate hazardous air pollutant emissions from coal- and oil-fired electric generating units. In May 2020, the EPA’s final rule became effective. The final rule is consistent with the EPA’s February 2019 proposal, and determines that it is not appropriate and necessary to regulate mercury and hazardous air pollutant emissions from coal- and oil-fired electric generating units. The final rule also states that the MATS rule remains in place and the emissions standards for affected coal- and oil-fired electric generating units will not change. The Companies are complying with the applicable requirements of the rule and do not expect any impacts to their operations.

Ozone Standards

The EPA published final non-attainment designations for the October 2015 ozone standard in June 2018. States have until August 2021 to develop plans to address the new standard. Until the states have developed implementation plans for the standard, the Companies are unable to predict whether or to what extent the new rules will ultimately require additional controls. The expenditures required to implement additional controls could have a material impact on the Companies’ results of operations and cash flows.

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 another 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. The amended portions of the 2016 rule were effective immediately upon publication. In August 2020, the EPA issued two final amendments related to the reconsideration of the NSPS for the oil and natural gas sector applicable to VOC and methane emissions. Together, the two amendments have the effect of rescinding both the methane portion of the NSPS for all segments of the oil and natural gas sector, rescinding all NSPS for the transmission and storage segment, and modifying some of the NSPS VOC requirements for facilities in the production and processing segments. The two amendments have been challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit but remain in effect pending the outcome of the litigation. Dominion Energy is still evaluating whether potential impacts on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows related to this matter will be material.

ACE Rule

In July 2019, the EPA published the final rule informally referred to as the ACE Rule, as a replacement for the Clean Power Plan. The ACE Rule applies to existing coal-fired power plants. The final rule includes unit-specific performance standards based on the degree of emission reduction levels achievable from unit efficiency improvements to be determined by the permitting agency. The ACE Rule requires states to develop plans by July 2022, to implement these performance standards. These state plans must be approved by the EPA by January 2024. While the impacts of this rule could be material to the Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities.

Carbon Regulations

In August 2016, the EPA issued a draft rule proposing to reaffirm that a source’s obligation to obtain a PSD or Title V permit for GHGs is triggered only if such permitting requirements are first triggered by non-GHG, or conventional, pollutants that are regulated by the New Source Review program, and to set a significant emissions rate at 75,000 tons per year of CO₂ equivalent emissions under which a source would not be required to apply BACT for its GHG emissions. Until the EPA ultimately takes final action on this rulemaking, the Companies cannot predict the impact to their results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

In December 2018, the EPA proposed revised Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New, Modified, and Reconstructed Stationary Sources. The proposed rule would amend the previous determination that the best system of emission reduction for newly constructed coal-fired steam generating units is no longer partial carbon capture and storage. Instead, the proposed revised best system of emission reduction for this source category is the most efficient demonstrated steam cycle (e.g., supercritical steam conditions for large units and subcritical steam conditions for small units) in combination with the best operating practices.

State Regulations

In May 2019, VDEQ issued a final rule establishing a state carbon regulation program with a 28.0 million ton initial state-wide carbon cap in 2020. The cap was to be reduced by approximately three percent per year through 2030, resulting in an ultimate cap of 19.6 million tons. The final rule included a provision for VDEQ to delay implementation of the rule pending authorization from the General Assembly and Governor of Virginia. In April 2020, Virginia legislation was enacted authorizing VDEQ to implement the final rule. In June 2020, the VDEQ signed the CO₂ Budget Trading Program rule outlining the requirements for Virginia’s direct participation in RGGI starting in 2021. As a result of joining RGGI in 2021, Virginia’s allotment of the regional cap was adjusted to approximately 27.1 million tons, although Virginia Power may purchase additional allowances from the secondary market and other states. The regulatory framework in Virginia provides rate recovery mechanisms that are expected to substantially mitigate any such impact.

The legislation discussed above is considered related legislation to the VCEA as discussed in Note 13. The VCEA institutes a mandatory renewable portfolio standard, enhances renewable generation and energy storage development, requires the retirement of certain generation facilities, establishes energy efficiency targets, expands net metering and directs Virginia’s participation in a market-based carbon trading program through 2050.

Water

The CWA, as amended, is a comprehensive program requiring a broad range of regulatory tools including a permit program to authorize and regulate discharges to surface waters with strong enforcement mechanisms. The Companies must comply with applicable aspects of the CWA programs at their operating facilities.

Regulation 316(b)

In October 2014, the final regulations under Section 316(b) of the CWA that govern existing facilities and new units at existing facilities that employ a cooling water intake structure and that have flow levels exceeding a minimum threshold became effective. The rule establishes a national standard for impingement based on seven compliance options, but forgoes the creation of a single technology standard for entrainment. Instead, the EPA has delegated entrainment technology decisions to state regulators. State regulators are to make case-by-case entrainment technology determinations after an examination of five mandatory facility-specific factors, including a social cost-benefit test, and six optional facility-specific factors. The rule governs all electric generating stations with water withdrawals above two MGD, with a heightened entrainment analysis for those facilities over 125 MGD. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power currently have 13 and seven facilities, respectively, that are subject to the final regulations. Dominion Energy is also working with the EPA and state regulatory agencies to assess the applicability of Section 316(b) to six hydroelectric facilities, including one Virginia Power facility. Dominion Energy anticipates that it may have to install impingement control technologies at certain of these stations that have once-through cooling systems. The Companies are currently evaluating the need or potential for entrainment controls under the final rule as these decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis after a thorough review of detailed biological, technology, cost and benefit studies. DESC is conducting studies and implementing plans as required by the rule to determine appropriate intake structure modifications at certain facilities to ensure compliance with this rule. While the impacts of this rule could be material to the Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities.

Effluent Limitations Guidelines

In September 2015, the EPA released a final rule to revise the Effluent Limitations Guidelines for the Steam Electric Power Generating Category. The final rule established updated standards for wastewater discharges that apply primarily at coal and oil steam generating stations. Affected facilities are required to convert from wet to dry or closed cycle coal ash management, improve existing wastewater treatment systems and/or install new wastewater treatment technologies in order to meet the new discharge limits. In April 2017, the EPA granted two separate petitions for reconsideration of the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule and stayed future compliance dates in the rule. Also in April 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted the EPA’s request for a stay of the pending consolidated litigation challenging the rule while the EPA addresses the petitions for reconsideration. In September 2017, the EPA signed a rule to postpone the earliest compliance dates for certain waste streams regulations in the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule from November 2018 to November 2020; however, the latest date for compliance for these regulations was December 2023. In October 2020, the EPA released the final rule that extends the latest dates for compliance. Individual facilities’ compliance dates will vary based on circumstances and the determination by state regulators and may range from 2021 to 2028. While the impacts of this rule could be material to the Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities.

Waste Management and Remediation

The operations of the Companies are subject to a variety of state and federal laws and regulations governing the management and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and release of hazardous substances associated with current and/or historical operations. The CERCLA, as amended, and similar state laws, may impose joint, several and strict liability for cleanup on potentially responsible parties who owned, operated or arranged for disposal at facilities affected by a release of hazardous substances. In addition, many states have created programs to incentivize voluntary remediation of sites where historical releases of hazardous substances are identified and property owners or responsible parties decide to initiate cleanups.

From time to time, the Companies may be identified as a potentially responsible party in connection with the alleged release of hazardous substances or wastes at a site. Under applicable federal and state laws, the Companies could be responsible for costs associated with the investigation or remediation of impacted sites, or subject to contribution claims by other responsible parties for their costs incurred at such sites. The Companies also may identify, evaluate and remediate other potentially impacted sites under voluntary state programs. Remediation costs may be subject to reimbursement under the Companies’ insurance policies, rate recovery mechanisms, or both. Except as described below, the Companies do not believe these matters will have a material effect on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Dominion Energy has determined that it is associated with former manufactured gas plant sites, including certain sites associated with Virginia Power. At 11 sites associated with Dominion Energy, including certain sites acquired in the SCANA Combination, remediation work has been substantially completed under federal or state oversight. Where required, the sites are following state-approved groundwater monitoring programs. Dominion Energy has proposed or expects to propose remediation plans associated with three sites, including one at Virginia Power, and expects to conduct remediation activities primarily by the end of 2021. At both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have $30 million and $16 million, respectively, of reserves recorded. In addition, for one site associated with Dominion Energy, an updated work plan submitted to SCDHEC in September 2018, would increase costs by approximately $11 million if approved by federal and state agencies. In September 2020, this plan was submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers. Dominion Energy is associated with 13 additional sites, including two associated with Virginia Power, which are not under investigation by any state or federal environmental agency nor the subject of any current or proposed plans to perform remediation activities. Due to the uncertainty surrounding such sites, the Companies are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts.

Other Legal Matters

The Companies are defendants in a number of lawsuits and claims involving unrelated incidents of property damage and personal injury. Due to the uncertainty surrounding these matters, the Companies are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts; however, they could have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

SCANA Legal Proceedings

The following describes certain legal proceedings involving Dominion Energy, SCANA or DESC relating to events occurring before closing of the SCANA Combination. No reference to, or disclosure of, any proceeding, item or matter described below shall be construed as an admission or indication that such proceeding, item or matter is material. For certain of these matters, and unless otherwise noted therein, Dominion Energy is unable to estimate a reasonable range of possible loss and the related financial statement impacts, but for any such matter there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. For the matters for which Dominion Energy is able to reasonably estimate a probable loss, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 include reserves of $228 million and $696 million, respectively, and insurance receivables of $8 million and $111 million, respectively, included within other receivables. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income include charges of $44 million ($33 million after-tax) included within impairment of assets and other charges. In addition, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include charges of $25 million ($25 million after-tax) included within other income (expense). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income include charges of $38 million ($28 million after-tax) and $316 million ($236 million after-tax), respectively, included within impairment of assets and other charges.

Ratepayer Class Actions

In May 2018, a consolidated complaint against DESC, SCANA and the State of South Carolina was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the DESC Ratepayer Case). In September 2018, the court certified this case as a class action. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that DESC was negligent and unjustly enriched, breached alleged fiduciary and contractual duties and committed fraud and misrepresentation in failing to properly manage the NND Project, and that DESC committed unfair trade practices and violated state anti-trust laws. The plaintiffs sought a declaratory judgment that DESC may not charge its customers for any past or continuing costs of the NND Project, sought to have SCANA and DESC’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 proceedings in the DESC Ratepayer Case. The settlement agreement, contingent upon the closing of the SCANA Combination, provided that SCANA and DESC would establish an escrow account and proceeds from the escrow account would be distributed to the class members, after payment of certain taxes, attorneys' fees and other expenses and administrative costs. The escrow account would include (1) up to $2.0 billion, net of a credit of up to $2.0 billion in future electric bill relief, which would inure to the benefit of the escrow account in favor of class members over a period of time established by the South Carolina Commission in its order related to matters before the South Carolina Commission related to the NND Project, (2) a cash payment of $115 million and (3) the transfer of certain DESC-owned real estate or sales proceeds from the sale of such properties, which counsel for the DESC Ratepayer Class estimate to have an aggregate value between $60 million and $85 million. At the closing of the SCANA Combination, SCANA and DESC funded the cash payment portion of the escrow account. The court held a fairness hearing on the settlement in May 2019. In June 2019, the court entered an order granting final approval of the settlement, which order became effective July 2019. In July 2019, DESC transferred $117 million representing the cash payment, plus accrued interest, to the plaintiffs. Through August 2020, property, plant and equipment with a net recorded value of $27 million had been transferred to the plaintiffs in coordination with the court-appointed real estate trustee to satisfy the settlement agreement. In September 2020, the court entered an order approving a final resolution of the transfer of real estate or sales proceeds with a cash contribution of $38.5 million by DESC and the conveyance of property, plant and equipment with a net recorded value of $3 million. In October 2020, DESC completed the conveyance of property, plant and equipment and funded this cash contribution.

In September 2017, a purported class action was filed by Santee Cooper ratepayers against Santee Cooper, DESC, Palmetto Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Central Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case). The allegations are substantially similar to those in the DESC 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 DESC, which was denied. In October 2019, Santee Cooper voluntarily consented to stay its cross claims against DESC pending the outcome of the trial of the underlying case. In November 2019, DESC removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. In December 2019, the plaintiffs and

Santee Cooper filed a motion to remand the case to state court. In January 2020, the case was remanded to state court. In March 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement relating to this matter as well as the Luquire Case and the Glibowski Case described below. The settlement agreement provides that Dominion Energy and Santee Cooper will establish a fund for the benefit of class members in the amount of $520 million, of which Dominion Energy’s portion is $320 million of shares of Dominion Energy common stock. Also in March 2020, the court granted preliminary approval for the settlement agreement. In July 2020, the court issued a final approval of the settlement agreement. In September 2020, Dominion Energy issued $322 million of shares of Dominion Energy common stock to satisfy its obligation under the settlement agreement, including interest charges.

In July 2019, a similar purported class action was filed by certain Santee Cooper ratepayers against DESC, SCANA, Dominion Energy and former directors and officers of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Orangeburg, South Carolina (the Luquire Case). In August 2019, DESC, SCANA and Dominion Energy were voluntarily dismissed from the case. The claims are similar to the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case. In March 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement as described above relating to this matter as well as the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case and the Glibowski Case. This case was dismissed as part of the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case settlement described above.

RICO Class Action

In January 2018, a purported class action was filed, and subsequently amended, against SCANA, DESC and certain former executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina (the Glibowski Case). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that SCANA, DESC and the individual defendants participated in an unlawful racketeering enterprise in violation of RICO and conspired to violate RICO by fraudulently inflating utility bills to generate unlawful proceeds. The DESC Ratepayer Class Action settlement described previously contemplates dismissal of claims by DESC ratepayers in this case against DESC, SCANA and their officers. In August 2019, the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss. In March 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement as described above relating to this matter as well as the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case and the Luquire Case. This case was dismissed as part of the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case settlement described above.

SCANA Shareholder Litigation

In September 2017, a purported class action was filed against SCANA and certain former executive officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. Subsequent additional purported class actions were separately filed against all or nearly all of these defendants (collectively the SCANA Securities Class Action). In January 2018, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina consolidated these suits, and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint in March 2018. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants violated §10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and that the individually named defendants are liable under §20(a) of the same act. In June 2018, the defendants filed motions to dismiss. In March 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motions to dismiss. In December 2019, the parties executed a settlement agreement pursuant to which SCANA will pay $192.5 million, up to $32.5 million of which can be satisfied through the issuance of shares of Dominion Energy common stock, subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. In February 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted preliminary approval of the settlement agreement, pending a fairness hearing. In March 2020, SCANA funded an escrow account with $160 million in cash and the balance of the settlement will be paid upon final approval of the settlement by the court. In July 2020, the court granted final approval of the settlement agreement. In August 2020, SCANA paid the balance of $32.5 million in cash to satisfy the settlement.

In September 2017, a shareholder derivative action was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina. In September 2018, this action was consolidated with another action in the Business Court Pilot Program in Richland County. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, and that the defendants were unjustly enriched by bonuses they were paid in connection with the project. In January 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated action. In February 2019, one action was voluntarily dismissed. In March 2020, the court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss. In April 2020, the defendants filed a notice of appeal with the South Carolina Court of Appeals and a petition with the Supreme Court of South Carolina seeking appellate review of the denial of the motion to dismiss. In June 2020, the plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the appeal with the South Carolina Court of Appeals, which was granted in July 2020. In August 2020, the Supreme Court of South Carolina denied the defendants’ petition seeking appellate review. Also in August 2020, the defendants filed a petition for rehearing with the South Carolina Court of Appeals relating to the July 2020 ruling by the court, which was denied in October 2020. This case is pending.

In January 2018, a purported class action was filed against SCANA, Dominion Energy and certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Lexington County, South Carolina (the City of Warren Lawsuit). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that defendants violated their fiduciary duties to shareholders by executing a merger agreement

that would unfairly deprive plaintiffs of the true value of their SCANA stock, and that Dominion Energy aided and abetted these actions. Among other remedies, the plaintiff seeks to enjoin and/or rescind the merger. In February 2018, 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 was consolidated with a similar appeal in the Metzler Lawsuit discussed below. In June 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the order remanding the case to state court.

In February 2018, a purported class action was filed against Dominion Energy and certain former directors of SCANA and DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina (the Metzler Lawsuit). The allegations made and the relief sought by the plaintiffs are substantially similar to that described for the City of Warren Lawsuit. In 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 was consolidated with the City of Warren Lawsuit. In June 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the order remanding the case to state court.

In September 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted the plaintiffs’ motion to consolidate the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit. In October 2019, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against certain former directors and executive officers of SCANA and DESC, which stated substantially similar allegations to those in the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit as well as an inseparable fraud claim. In November 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. In April 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina denied the motion to dismiss. In May 2020, SCANA filed a motion to intervene, which was denied in August 2020. In September 2020, SCANA filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. This case is pending.

In May 2019, a case was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, were unjustly enriched by the bonuses they were paid in connection with the project and breached their fiduciary duties to secure and obtain the best price for the sale of SCANA. Also in May 2019, the case was removed to the U.S. District Court of South Carolina by the non-South Carolina defendants. In June 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the case to state court. In January 2020, the case was remanded to state court. In February 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. This case is pending.

Employment Class Actions and Indemnification

In August 2017, a case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina on behalf of persons who were formerly employed at the NND Project. In July 2018, the court certified this case as a class action. In February 2019, certain of these plaintiffs filed an additional case, which case has been dismissed and the plaintiffs have joined the case filed August 2017. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that SCANA, DESC, Fluor Corporation and Fluor Enterprises, Inc. violated the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act in connection with the decision to stop construction at the NND Project. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants failed to provide adequate advance written notice of their terminations of employment and are seeking damages, which could be as much as $100 million for 100% of the NND Project.

In September 2018, a case was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina by Fluor Enterprises, Inc. and Fluor Daniel Maintenance Services, Inc. against DESC and Santee Cooper. The plaintiffs make claims for indemnification, breach of contract and promissory estoppel arising from, among other things, the defendants' alleged failure and refusal to defend and indemnify the Fluor defendants in the aforementioned case. These cases are pending.

FILOT Litigation and Related Matters

In November 2017, Fairfield County filed a complaint and a motion for temporary injunction against DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina, making allegations of breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and unfair trade practices related to DESC’s termination of the FILOT agreement between DESC and Fairfield County related to the NND Project. The plaintiff sought a temporary and permanent injunction to prevent DESC from terminating the FILOT agreement. The plaintiff withdrew the motion for temporary injunction in December 2017. This case is pending.

Governmental Proceedings and Investigations

In June 2018, DESC received a notice of proposed assessment of approximately $410 million, excluding interest, from the SCDOR following its audit of DESC’s sales and use tax returns for the periods September 1, 2008 through December 31, 2017. The proposed assessment, which includes 100% of the NND Project, is based on the SCDOR’s position that DESC’s sales and use tax exemption for the NND Project does not apply because the facility will not become operational. DESC has protested the proposed assessment, which remains pending.

In September and October 2017, SCANA was served with subpoenas issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina and the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement seeking documents related to the NND Project. In February 2020, the SEC filed a complaint against SCANA, two of its former executive officers and DESC in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements about the NND Project. In April 2020, SCANA and DESC reached an agreement in principle with the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint. The Staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement has not yet presented the proposed settlement to the SEC. The agreement in principle would, among other things, require SCANA to pay a civil monetary penalty totaling $25 million, and SCANA and DESC to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest totaling $112.5 million, which disgorgement and prejudgment interest amount will be deemed satisfied by the settlements in the SCANA Securities Class Action and the DESC Ratepayer Case. The proposed settlement is contingent on the review and approval of final documentation by SCANA, DESC and the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement and is subject to approval by the SEC and the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. In June 2020, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina filed a motion to intervene and stay the SEC civil action, which the court granted. The stay is currently in effect but does not preclude the SEC’s Division of Enforcement from presenting the proposed settlement with SCANA and DESC to the SEC. This matter is pending.

In addition, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is conducting a criminal investigation into the handling of the NND Project by SCANA and DESC. Dominion Energy is cooperating fully with the investigations by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, including responding to additional subpoenas and document requests. Dominion Energy has also entered into a cooperation agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office. The cooperation agreement provides that in consideration of its full cooperation with these investigations to the satisfaction of both agencies, neither such agency will criminally prosecute or bring any civil action against Dominion Energy or any of its current, previous, or future direct or indirect subsidiaries related to the NND Project. A former executive officer of SCANA entered a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office in June 2020 and entered a guilty plea with the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina in July 2020. These matters are pending.

Other Litigation

In December 2018, arbitration proceedings commenced between DESC and Cameco Corporation related to a supply agreement signed in May 2008. This agreement provides the terms and conditions under which DESC agreed to purchase uranium hexafluoride from Cameco Corporation over a period from 2010 to 2020. Cameco Corporation alleges that DESC violated this agreement by failing to purchase the stated quantities of uranium hexafluoride for the 2017 and 2018 delivery years. DESC denies that it is in breach of the agreement and believes that it has reduced its purchase quantity within the terms of the agreement. This matter is pending.

Abandoned NND Project

DESC, for itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, entered into an engineering, construction and procurement contract with Westinghouse and WECTEC in 2008 for the design and construction of the NND Project, of which DESC’s ownership share is 55%. Various difficulties were encountered in connection with the project. The ability of Westinghouse and WECTEC to adhere to

established budgets and construction schedules was affected by many variables, including unanticipated difficulties encountered in connection with project engineering and the construction of project components, constrained financial resources of the contractors, regulatory, legal, training and construction processes associated with securing approvals, permits and licenses and necessary amendments to them within projected time frames, the availability of labor and materials at estimated costs and the efficiency of project labor. There were also contractor and supplier performance issues, difficulties in timely meeting critical regulatory requirements, contract disputes, and changes in key contractors or subcontractors. These matters preceded the filing for bankruptcy protection by Westinghouse and WECTEC in March 2017, and were the subject of comprehensive analyses performed by SCANA and Santee Cooper.

Based on the results of SCANA’s analysis, and in light of Santee Cooper's decision to suspend construction on the NND Project, in July 2017, SCANA determined to stop the construction of the units and to pursue recovery of costs incurred in connection with the construction under the abandonment provisions of the Base Load Review Act or through other means. This decision by SCANA became the focus of numerous legislative, regulatory and legal proceedings. Some of these proceedings remain unresolved and are described above.

In September 2017, DESC, for itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York Proofs of Claim for unliquidated damages against each of Westinghouse and WECTEC. These Proofs of Claim were based upon the anticipatory repudiation and material breach by Westinghouse and WECTEC of the contract, and assert against Westinghouse and WECTEC any and all claims that are based thereon or that may be related thereto.

Westinghouse’s reorganization plan was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York and became effective in August 2018. In connection with the effectiveness of the reorganization plan, the contract associated with the NND Project was deemed rejected. DESC is contesting approximately $285 million of filed liens in Fairfield County, South Carolina. Most of these asserted liens are claims that relate to work performed by Westinghouse subcontractors before the Westinghouse bankruptcy, although some of them are claims arising from work performed after the Westinghouse bankruptcy.

Westinghouse has indicated that some unsecured creditors have sought or may seek amounts beyond what Westinghouse allocated when it submitted its reorganization plan to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. If any unsecured creditor is successful in its attempt to include its claim as part of the class of general unsecured creditors beyond the amounts in the bankruptcy reorganization plan allocated by Westinghouse, it is possible that the reorganization plan will not provide for payment in full or nearly in full to its pre-petition trade creditors. The shortfall could be significant.

DESC and Santee Cooper were responsible for amounts owed to Westinghouse for valid work performed by Westinghouse subcontractors on the NND Project after the Westinghouse bankruptcy filing until termination of the interim assessment agreement. In December 2019, DESC and Santee Cooper entered into a confidential settlement agreement with W Wind Down Co LLC resolving claims relating to the interim assessment agreement.

Further, some Westinghouse subcontractors who have made claims against Westinghouse in the bankruptcy proceeding also filed against DESC and Santee Cooper in South Carolina state court for damages. Many of these claimants have also asserted construction liens against the NND Project site. DESC also intends to oppose these claims and liens. With respect to claims of Westinghouse subcontractors, DESC believes there were sufficient amounts previously funded during the interim assessment agreement period to pay such validly asserted claims. With respect to the Westinghouse subcontractor claims which relate to other periods, DESC understands that such claims will be paid pursuant to Westinghouse’s confirmed bankruptcy reorganization plan. DESC further understands that the amounts paid under the plan may satisfy such claims in full. Therefore, DESC believes that the Westinghouse subcontractors may be paid substantially (and potentially in full) by Westinghouse. While Dominion Energy cannot be assured that it will not have any exposure on account of unpaid Westinghouse subcontractor claims, which DESC is presently disputing, Dominion Energy believes it is unlikely that it will be required to make payments on account of such claims.

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 resulted in significant nuclear safety reviews by the NRC and industry groups such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations. Like other U.S. nuclear operators, Dominion Energy has gathered supporting data and participated 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. Tier 1 recommendations consisted of actions which the NRC staff determined should be started without unnecessary delay. Tier 2 and 3 items consisted of items which could not be

initiated in the near term because of resource restraints, the need for further technical assessment, or were dependent on activities related to the higher priority Tier 1 issues. 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 reactor licensees, 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 for responding 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 requested each reactor licensee to reevaluate the seismic and external flooding hazards at their facility using present-day methods and information, conduct walkdowns of their facility to ensure protection against these hazards in their current design basis, and to reevaluate their emergency communications systems and staffing levels. The walkdowns of each unit have been completed, audited by the NRC and found to be adequate. Reevaluation of the emergency communications systems and staffing levels was completed as part of the effort to comply with the orders. Reevaluation of the seismic hazards is complete and final with NRC acceptance received for all Dominion Energy facilities. Reevaluation of the external flooding hazards is complete for all Dominion Energy facilities. The NRC approved the external flooding hazards for Surry in May 2020 and Millstone in August 2020. The Companies do not currently expect that compliance with the NRC’s information requests will materially impact their financial position, results of operations or cash flows during the implementation period. The NRC staff has resolved the Tier 2 and Tier 3 recommendations and no additional future actions on the part of Dominion Energy are anticipated with respect to these recommendations. Therefore, the Companies do not expect material financial impacts related to compliance with Tier 2 and Tier 3 recommendations.

Nuclear Operations

Nuclear Insurance

During the second quarter of 2020, the total liability protection per nuclear incident available to all participants in the Secondary Financial Protection Program decreased from $13.9 billion to $13.8 billion. This decrease does not impact Dominion Energy’s responsibility per active unit under the Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988.

Spent Nuclear Fuel

As discussed in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Companies entered into contracts with the DOE for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel under provisions of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982.

In 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 after 2013. In March 2019, Dominion Energy amended its filing for recovery of spent nuclear fuel storage to include costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2018. This matter is pending.

Guarantees, Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

Dominion Energy’s guarantee agreement to support a portion of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s obligation under a revolving credit facility is described in Note 10. In addition, at September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy had issued an additional $10 million of guarantees, primarily to support third parties. No amounts related to the other guarantees have been recorded.

Dominion Energy also enters into guarantee arrangements on behalf of its consolidated subsidiaries, primarily to facilitate their commercial transactions with third parties. If any of these subsidiaries fail to perform or pay under the contracts and the counterparties seek performance or payment, Dominion Energy would be obligated to satisfy such obligation. To the extent that a liability subject to a guarantee has been incurred by one of Dominion Energy’s consolidated subsidiaries, that liability is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Dominion Energy is not required to recognize liabilities for guarantees issued on behalf of its subsidiaries unless it becomes probable that it will have to perform under the guarantees. Terms of the guarantees typically end once obligations have been paid. Dominion Energy currently believes it is unlikely that it would be required to perform or otherwise incur any losses associated with guarantees of its subsidiaries’ obligations.

At September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy had issued the following subsidiary guarantees:

	Maximum Exposure
(millions)
Commodity transactions⁽¹⁾	$	2,220
Nuclear obligations⁽²⁾		224
Cove Point⁽³⁾		1,900
Solar⁽⁴⁾		453
Other⁽⁵⁾		920
Total⁽⁶⁾	$	5,717

(1)	Guarantees related to commodity commitments of certain subsidiaries. These guarantees were provided to counterparties in order to facilitate physical and financial transaction related commodities and services.

(2)	Guarantees primarily related to certain DGI subsidiaries regarding all aspects of running a nuclear facility.

(3)

Guarantees related to Cove Point, in support of terminal services, transportation and construction. Cove Point has two guarantees that have no maximum limit and, therefore, are not included in this amount. As discussed in Note 3, in November 2020 Cove Point became an equity method investment of Dominion Energy.

(4)	Includes guarantees to facilitate the development of solar projects. Also includes guarantees entered into by DGI on behalf of certain subsidiaries to facilitate the acquisition and development of solar projects.

(5)	Guarantees related to other miscellaneous contractual obligations such as leases, environmental obligations, construction projects and insurance programs. Due to the uncertainty of workers’ compensation claims, the parental guarantee has no stated limit.

(6)	Excludes Dominion Energy's guarantees for the new corporate office properties discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in Note 14 in this report.

Additionally, at September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy had purchased $156 million of surety bonds, including $90 million at Virginia Power, and authorized the issuance of letters of credit by financial institutions of $96 million to facilitate commercial transactions by its subsidiaries with third parties. Under the terms of surety bonds, the Companies are obligated to indemnify the respective surety bond company for any amounts paid.

Note 18. Credit Risk

The Companies’ accounting policies for credit risk are discussed in Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019

At September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy’s gross credit exposure related to energy marketing and price risk management activities totaled $160 million. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 94%. No single counterparty, whether investment grade or non-investment grade, exceeded $42 million of exposure. At September 30, 2020, Virginia Power’s exposure related to wholesale customers totaled $10 million. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 93%. No single counterparty, whether investment grade or non-investment grade, exceeded $3 million of exposure.

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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy would have been required to post $13 million and $10 million, respectively, of additional 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 contracts and derivatives elected under the normal purchases and normal sales exception, per contractual terms. Dominion Energy had posted $1 million of collateral at September 30, 2020 related to derivatives with credit-related contingent provisions that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash and had posted no collateral at December 31, 2019. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-related contingent provisions that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash was $14 million and $10 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which does not include the impact of any offsetting asset positions.

If the credit-related contingent features underlying these instruments that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash were fully triggered as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Virginia Power would have been required to post an additional $1 million and $8 million, respectively, of collateral to its counterparties.

See Note 9 for further information about derivative instruments.

Note 19. Related-Party Transactions

Virginia Power engages in related-party transactions primarily with other Dominion Energy subsidiaries (affiliates). Virginia Power’s receivable and payable balances with affiliates are settled based on contractual terms or on a monthly basis, depending on the nature of the underlying transactions. Virginia Power is included in Dominion Energy's consolidated federal income tax return and, where applicable, combined income tax returns for Dominion Energy are filed in various states. Dominion Energy’s transactions with equity method investments are described in Note 10. A discussion of significant related-party transactions follows.

Virginia Power

Transactions with Affiliates

Virginia Power transacts with affiliates for certain quantities of natural gas and other commodities in the ordinary course of business. Virginia Power also enters into certain commodity derivative contracts with affiliates. Virginia Power uses these contracts, which are principally comprised of forward commodity purchases, to manage commodity price risks associated with purchases of natural gas. At September 30, 2020, Virginia Power’s derivative assets and liabilities with affiliates were $11 million and $7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2019, Virginia Power’s derivative assets and liabilities with affiliates were $3 million and $53 million, respectively. See Note 9 for more information.

Virginia Power participates in certain Dominion Energy benefit plans described in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In August 2020, Virginia Power made a payment to Dominion Energy for $313 million related to its participation in the Dominion Energy Pension Plan. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, amounts due to Dominion Energy associated with the Dominion Energy Pension Plan and included in other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $556 million and $782 million, respectively. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Virginia Power's amounts due from Dominion Energy associated with the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan and included in other deferred charges and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $334 million and $287 million, respectively.

DES and other affiliates provide accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services to Virginia Power. In addition, Virginia Power provides certain services to affiliates, including charges for facilities and equipment usage.

The financial statements for all years presented include costs for certain general, administrative and corporate expenses assigned by DES to Virginia Power on the basis of direct and allocated methods in accordance with Virginia Power’s services agreements with DES. Where costs incurred cannot be determined by specific identification, the costs are allocated based on the proportional level of effort devoted by DES resources that is attributable to the entity, determined by reference to number of employees, salaries and wages and other similar measures for the relevant DES service. Management believes the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocation of general corporate overhead expenses are reasonable.

Presented below are Virginia Power’s significant transactions with DES and other affiliates:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
(millions)
Commodity purchases from affiliates	$	135	$	170	$	450	$	561
Services provided by affiliates⁽¹⁾		108		107		343		387
Services provided to affiliates		5		5		14		19

(1)	Includes capitalized expenditures of $39 million and $33 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $107 million and $100 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Virginia Power has borrowed funds from Dominion Energy under short-term borrowing arrangements. There were $230 million and $107 million in short-term demand note borrowings from Dominion Energy as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Virginia Power had no outstanding borrowings, net of repayments, under the Dominion Energy money pool for its nonregulated subsidiaries as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Interest charges related to Virginia Power’s borrowings from Dominion Energy were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

There were no issuances of Virginia Power’s common stock to Dominion Energy for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Note 20. Employee Benefit Plans

Dominion Energy

The service cost component of net periodic benefit (credit) cost is reflected in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income, except for $3 million and $12 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $4 million and $12 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, presented in discontinued operations. The non-service cost components of net period benefit (credit) cost are reflected in other income in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The components of Dominion Energy’s provision for net periodic benefit cost (credit) are as follows:

	Pension Benefits						Other Postretirement Benefits
	2020			2019			2020			2019
(millions)
Three Months Ended September 30,
Service cost	$	45		$	41		$	8		$	7

Net periodic benefit cost (credit)	$	(28	)	$	87		$	(83	)	$	(22	)

(1) 2019 amounts relate primarily to a voluntary retirement program.

In October 2020, Dominion Energy reached an agreement with a collective bargaining unit to merge a portion of a pension plan sponsored by Dominion Energy into the Dominion Energy Pension Plan. As a condition to this agreement, Dominion Energy will provide certain benefits to the retirees represented by the collective bargaining unit and expects to record a charge of $25 million ($19 million after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Voluntary Retirement Program

In March 2019, the Companies announced a voluntary retirement program to employees that meet certain age and service requirements. In the second quarter of 2019, upon the determinations made concerning the number of employees that elected to participate in the program, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $423 million ($316 million after-tax) included within other operations and maintenance expense ($247 million), other taxes ($21 million), other income ($111 million) and discontinued operations ($44 million) and Virginia Power recorded a charge of $194 million ($144 million after-tax) included within other operations and maintenance expense ($186 million) and other taxes ($8 million) in their respective Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for more information.

Pension Remeasurement

In the third quarter of 2020, Dominion Energy remeasured certain pension plans due to a curtailment resulting from entering an agreement to sell substantially all of its gas transmission and storage operations to BHE. The remeasurement resulted in an increase in the pension benefit obligation of $497 million and a decrease in the fair value of the pension plan assets of $87 million. The impact of the remeasurement on net periodic pension benefit cost (credit) was recognized prospectively from the remeasurement date. The remeasurement is expected to increase the net periodic benefit credit by approximately $4 million for the year ending December 31, 2020, excluding the impacts of curtailments. The discount rate used for the remeasurement was 3.11% - 3.16% with all other assumptions used for the remeasurement consistent with the measurement as of December 31, 2019.

Employer Contributions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy made no contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans or other postretirement benefit plans. Dominion Energy expects to utilize $250 million of the proceeds from the GT&S Transaction to contribute to its qualified defined benefit pension plans by the end of 2020. Dominion Energy does not expect to make any contributions to VEBAs associated with its other postretirement plans in 2020.

Diluted EPS		(1.38	)		0.42		(1.80	)

Overview

Third Quarter 2020 vs. 2019

Net income attributable to Dominion Energy decreased 63%, primarily due to an impairment charge associated with interests in certain merchant solar generation facilities, a contract termination charge in connection with the sale of Fowler Ridge and a charge for benefits expected to be provided to retail electric customers in Virginia through the use of a customer credit reinvestment offset in accordance with the GTSA. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.

Year-To-Date 2020 vs. 2019

Net income attributable to Dominion Energy decreased $1.4 billion, primarily due to charges presented in discontinued operations associated with the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project and related portions of the Supply Header Project, a decrease in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds, an increase in charges associated with the planned early retirements of certain electric generation facilities in Virginia, an impairment charge associated with interests in certain merchant solar generation facilities, a contract termination charge in connection with the sale of Fowler Ridge and a charge for benefits expected to be provided to retail electric customers in Virginia through the use of a customer credit reinvestment offset in accordance with the GTSA. These increases in net loss were partially offset by the absence of charges for refunds of amounts previously collected from retail electric customers of DESC for the NND Project and for certain regulatory assets and property, plant and equipment acquired in the SCANA Combination for which Dominion Energy committed to forgo recovery, the planned early retirement of certain Virginia Power automated meter reading infrastructure and a voluntary retirement program and a decrease in charges associated with litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination.

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

Third Quarter 2020 vs. 2019

Net revenue increased 4%, primarily due to an increase from Virginia Power rate adjustment clauses ($133 million), partially offset by a decrease in sales to electric utility retail customers from a decrease in cooling degree days during the cooling season ($16 million) and a decrease as a result of the contribution of SEMI to Wrangler ($15 million).

Other operations and maintenance increased 13%, primarily due to an increase in certain Virginia Power expenditures, which are primarily recovered through state and FERC rates and do not impact net income ($65 million) and an increase in salaries, wages and benefits ($19 million).

Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 2%, primarily due to various projects being placed into service ($34 million), partially offset by the absence of depreciation from certain electric generation facilities that have been committed to be retired early ($17 million).

Impairment of assets and other charges increased $1.1 billion, primarily due to a charge associated with certain merchant solar generation facilities ($665 million), a contract termination charge in connection with the sale of Fowler Ridge ($221 million), a charge for benefits expected to be provided to retail electric customers in Virginia through the use of a customer credit reinvestment offset in accordance with the GTSA ($200 million), partially offset by the absence of charges related to the abandonment of certain property, plant and equipment ($26 million) and disallowance of Virginia Power state-regulated plant ($21 million).

Other income increased $152 million, primarily due to an increase in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds ($163 million), partially offset by an increase in social justice commitments ($35 million).

Interest and related charges decreased 17%, primarily reflecting a decrease for unrealized gains associated with freestanding derivatives ($56 million), lower interest expense from early redemptions of certain securities in 2019 and 2020 ($11 million) and a reduction in commercial paper borrowings ($11 million), partially offset by increased borrowings in response to COVID-19 ($18 million).

Income tax expense decreased 31%, primarily due to a reduction in consolidated state deferred income taxes associated with gas transmission and storage operations ($45 million), an adjustment to finalize the effects of changes in tax status of certain subsidiaries in connection with the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring ($24 million), partially offset by income tax expense primarily associated with the impairment of merchant solar generating assets held in partnerships attributable to the noncontrolling interest ($55 million).

Noncontrolling interests decreased $235 million, primarily due to impairments associated with certain merchant solar generation facilities ($267 million), partially offset by the sale of a 25% noncontrolling limited partnership interest in Cove Point to Brookfield in December 2019 ($32 million).

Year-To-Date 2020 vs. 2019

Net revenue increased 17%, primarily reflecting:

•	The absence of a $1.0 billion charge for refunds of amounts previously collected from retail electric customers of DESC for the NND Project;

•	A $359 million increase from Virginia Power rate adjustment clauses; and

•

A $38 million decrease in Virginia Power electric capacity expense related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2019 ($51 million) and a contract termination with a non-utility generator ($13 million) partially offset by the expiration of various contracts ($18 million) and an increase in expense related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2020 ($8 million).

These increases were partially offset by:

•	A $99 million decrease in sales to electric utility retail customers from a decrease in cooling degree days during the cooling season ($76 million) and a net decrease in heating degree days during the heating season ($23 million);

•	A $60 million decrease due to unfavorable pricing at Millstone, including the effects of the Millstone 2019 power purchase agreements;

•	A $57 million decrease in sales to electric utility retail customers associated with usage factors impacted by COVID-19; and

•	A $37 million decrease as a result of the contribution of SEMI to Wrangler.

•	A $50 million decrease in salaries, wages and benefits; and

•	A $29 million decrease in outage costs; partially offset by

•	A $120 million increase in certain Virginia Power expenditures, which are primarily recovered through state and FERC rates and do not impact net income;

•	The absence of a benefit from the revision of future ash pond and landfill closure costs as a result of Virginia legislation enacted in March 2019 ($113 million); and

•	A $30 million increase in allowance for credit risk on customer accounts related to the effects of COVID-19.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 2%, primarily due to various projects being placed into service ($93 million) partially offset by the absence of depreciation from certain electric generation facilities that were, or have been committed to be retired early ($42 million) and a decrease reflecting the expected approval of the nuclear plant life extensions from the NRC ($24 million).

Impairment of assets and other charges increased 61%, primarily due to:

•	A $665 million charge associated with certain merchant solar generation facilities;

•	An increase in charges associated with the planned early retirements of certain electric generation facilities in Virginia ($379 million);

•	A $221 million contract termination charge in connection with the sale of Fowler Ridge;

•	A $200 million charge for benefits expected to be provided to retail electric customers in Virginia through the use of a customer credit reinvestment offset in accordance with the GTSA; and

•	An increase in dismantling costs associated with certain Virginia Power electric generation facilities ($30 million); partially offset by

•	A decrease in charges associated with litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination ($272 million);

•	The absence of a $160 million charge related to Virginia Power’s planned early retirement of certain automated meter reading infrastructure;

•	The absence of a $135 million charge related to Virginia Power’s contract termination with a non-utility generator;

•	A decrease in charges for property, plant and equipment acquired in the SCANA Combination for which Dominion Energy committed to forgo recovery ($103 million);

•	The absence of a $62 million charge related to the abandonment of a project at a Virginia Power electric generating facility; and

•	The absence of a $26 million charge for the abandonment of certain property, plant and equipment.

Other income decreased 38%, primarily reflecting a decrease in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds ($320 million), an increase in social justice commitments ($40 million) and charges associated with litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination ($25 million), partially offset by the absence of a charge related to a voluntary retirement program ($111 million) and an increase in non-service components of pension and other postretirement employee benefit plan credits ($24 million).

Interest and related charges remained substantially unchanged, primarily reflecting increased borrowings in response to COVID-19 ($42 million), charges associated with the early redemption of certain securities in the first quarter of 2020 ($25 million) and increases for unrealized losses associated with freestanding derivatives ($21 million), substantially offset by interest expense from early redemptions of certain securities in 2019 and 2020 ($37 million), reductions in commercial paper borrowings ($26 million) and increases in AFUDC from increased construction projects ($22 million).

Income tax expense decreased $284 million, primarily due to a reduction in consolidated state deferred income taxes associated with gas transmission and storage operations ($45 million), an adjustment to finalize the effects of changes in tax status of certain subsidiaries in connection with the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring ($24 million) and the absence of a charge for certain income tax-related regulatory assets acquired in the SCANA Combination for which Dominion Energy committed to forgo recovery ($198 million) partially offset by income tax expense primarily associated with the impairment of merchant solar generating assets held in partnerships attributable to the noncontrolling interest ($55 million).

Net income from discontinued operations including noncontrolling interests decreased $2.3 billion, primarily due to charges associated with the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project and related portions of the Supply Header Project.

Noncontrolling interests decreased $174 million, primarily due to impairments associated with certain merchant solar generation facilities ($267 million), partially offset by the sale of a 25% noncontrolling limited partnership interest in Cove Point to Brookfield in December 2019 ($97 million).

Net income	$	475	$	602	$	(127	)	$	685	$	722	$	(37	)

Overview

Third Quarter 2020 vs. 2019

Net income decreased $127 million, primarily due to a charge for benefits expected to be provided to retail electric customers in Virginia through the use of a customer credit reinvestment offset in accordance with the GTSA.

Year-To-Date 2020 vs. 2019

Net income decreased $37 million, primarily due to a charge for benefits expected to be provided to retail electric customers in Virginia through the use of a customer credit reinvestment offset in accordance with the GTSA, an increase in charges related to the planned early retirements of certain electric generation facilities and the absence of a benefit from the revision of future ash pond and landfill closure costs as a result of Virginia legislation enacted in March 2019. These decreases were partially offset by the absence of charges related to the planned early retirement of certain automated meter reading infrastructure, a voluntary retirement program and a contract termination with a non-utility generator.

An analysis of Virginia Power’s results of operations follows:

Third Quarter 2020 vs. 2019

Net revenue increased 7%, primarily due to an increase from rate adjustment clauses.

Other operations and maintenance increased 16%, primarily reflecting an increase in certain expenses which are primarily recovered through state and FERC rates and do not impact net income ($65 million).

Depreciation and amortization increased 4%, primarily due to various projects being placed into service ($34 million), partially offset by the absence of depreciation from certain electric generation facilities that have been committed to be retired early ($17 million) and a decrease reflecting the expected approval of the nuclear plant life extensions from the NRC ($8 million).

Impairment of assets and other charges increased $162 million, primarily due to a charge for benefits expected to be provided to retail electric customers in Virginia through the use of a customer credit reinvestment offset in accordance with the GTSA ($200 million), partially offset by the absence of charges for disallowance of state-regulated plant ($21 million) and the abandonment of certain property, plant and equipment ($17 million).

Other income increased $19 million, primarily reflecting an increase in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.

Year-To-Date 2020 vs. 2019

Net revenue increased 6%, primarily reflecting:

•	A $359 million increase from rate adjustment clauses; and

•

A $38 million decrease in electric capacity expense related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2019 ($51 million) and a contract termination with a non-utility generator ($13 million) partially offset by the expiration of various contracts ($18 million) and an increase in expense related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2020 ($8 million); partially offset by

•	A $68 million decrease in sales to retail customers from a decrease in cooling degree days during the cooling season ($33 million) and a decrease in heating degree days during the heating season ($35 million); and

•	A $28 million decrease in sales to electric retail customers associated with usage factors impacted by COVID-19.

Other operations and maintenance increased 2%, primarily reflecting an increase in certain expenses which are primarily recovered through state and FERC rates and do not impact net income ($120 million), the absence of a benefit from the revision of future ash pond and landfill closure costs as a result of Virginia legislation enacted in March 2019 ($113 million) and an increase in allowance

103

for credit risk on customer accounts related to COVID-19 ($20 million). These increases were partially offset by the absence of a charge related to a voluntary retirement program ($190 million) and a decrease in salaries, wages and benefits ($39 million).

Depreciation and amortization increased 3%, primarily due to various projects being placed into service ($86 million), partially offset by the absence of depreciation from certain electric generation facilities that were, or have committed to be, retired early ($42 million) and a decrease reflecting the expected approval of the nuclear plant life extensions from the NRC ($24 million).

Impairment of assets and other charges increased 29%, primarily due to:

•	An increase in charges associated with the planned early retirements of certain electric generation facilities ($379 million);

•	A $200 million charge for benefits expected to be provided to retail electric customers in Virginia through the use of a customer credit reinvestment offset in accordance with the GTSA; and

•	An increase in dismantling costs associated with certain electric generation facilities ($30 million); partially offset by

•	The absence of a charge related to the planned early retirement of certain automated meter reading infrastructure ($160 million);

•	The absence of a $135 million charge related to contract termination with a non-utility generator;

•	The absence of a $62 million charge related to the abandonment of a project at an electric generating facility;

•	The absence of a $21 million charge for disallowance of state-regulated plant; and

•	The absence of a $17 million charge related to the abandonment of certain property, plant and equipment.

Other income decreased 50%, primarily reflecting a decrease in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Dominion Energy depends on both internal and external sources of liquidity to provide working capital and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. Short-term cash requirements not met by cash provided by operations are generally satisfied with proceeds from short-term borrowings. Long-term cash needs are met through issuances of debt and/or equity securities.

At September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy had $3.8 billion of unused capacity under its joint revolving credit facility. In addition, Dominion Energy had $675 million available under a $900 million 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement entered into in March 2020.

As part of its strategic response to COVID-19, Dominion Energy undertook certain measures in March and April 2020 to buttress its liquidity position. This includes entering the $900 million 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, which has the potential for an additional $300 million of capacity upon certain events. In addition, Dominion Energy borrowed $1.1 billion under two 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreements and issued $2.3 billion of senior notes. In June 2020, Dominion Energy repaid the outstanding balance of $625 million associated with one of the 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreements. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

A summary of Dominion Energy’s cash flows is presented below:

(3)	Includes $(174) million and $(3.1) billion related to discontinued operations for 2020 and 2019, respectively.

104

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash provided by Dominion Energy’s operating activities increased $1.1 billion, including $675 million from discontinued operations. Net cash provided by continuing operations increased primarily due to higher net fuel recoveries, the absence of a contract termination payment to a non-utility generator, a decrease in salaries, wages and benefits and net changes in working capital items, partially offset by a contract termination charge in connection with the sale of Fowler Ridge.

Dominion Energy believes that its operations provide a stable source of cash flow to contribute to planned levels of capital expenditures and maintain or grow the dividend on common shares. In December 2019, Dominion Energy’s Board of Directors established an annual dividend rate for 2020 of $3.76 per share of common stock. In January 2020, Dominion Energy’s Board of Directors declared dividends payable in March 2020 of 94 cents per share of common stock, and in May 2020, Dominion Energy’s Board of Directors declared dividends payable in June 2020 of 94 cents per share of common stock. In July 2020, Dominion Energy’s Board of Directors declared dividends payable in September 2020 of 94 cents per share of common stock. Also in July 2020, Dominion Energy announced that it currently expects to make a fourth dividend payment in December 2020 of approximately 63 cents per share of common stock reflecting the expected timing of the closing of the proposed transaction with BHE. Dividends are subject to declaration by the Board of Directors.

Dominion Energy’s operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that may negatively impact the timing or amounts of operating cash flows, which are discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companies’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Credit Risk

Dominion Energy’s exposure to potential concentrations of credit risk results primarily from its energy marketing and price risk management activities. Presented below is a summary of Dominion Energy’s credit exposure as of September 30, 2020 for these activities. Gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated prior to the application of collateral and represents outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- or off-balance sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights.

	Gross Credit Exposure		Credit Collateral		Net Credit Exposure
(millions)
Investment grade⁽¹⁾	$	103	$	—	$	103
Non-investment grade⁽²⁾		1		—		1
No external ratings:
Internally rated—investment grade⁽³⁾		47		—		47
Internally rated—non-investment grade⁽⁴⁾		9		—		9
Total⁽⁵⁾	$	160	$	—	$	160

(1)	Designations as investment grade are based upon minimum credit ratings assigned by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s. The five largest counterparty exposures, combined, for this category represented approximately 48% of the total net credit exposure.

(2)	The five largest counterparty exposures, combined, for this category represented less than 1% of the total net credit exposure.

(3)	The five largest counterparty exposures, combined, for this category represented approximately 29% of the total net credit exposure.

(4)	The five largest counterparty exposures, combined, for this category represented approximately 2% of the total net credit exposure.

(5)	Excludes the Millstone 2019 power purchase agreements.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s investing activities increased $1.7 billion, primarily due to an increase in plant construction and other property additions, the absence of cash acquired in the SCANA Combination and the acquisitions of Pivotal LNG, Inc. and an additional interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

Financing Cash Flows and Liquidity

Dominion Energy relies on capital markets as significant sources of funding for capital requirements not satisfied by cash provided by its operations. As discussed further in Credit Ratings and Debt Covenants in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the ability to borrow funds or issue securities and the return demanded by investors are affected by credit ratings. In addition, the raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory requirements, including registration with the SEC for certain issuances.

Dominion Energy currently meets the definition of a well-known seasoned issuer under SEC rules governing the registration, communications and offering processes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The rules provide for a streamlined shelf

105

registration process to provide registrants with timely access to capital. This allows Dominion Energy to use automatic shelf registration statements to register any offering of securities, other than those for exchange offers or business combination transactions. In June 2020, Dominion Energy filed a SEC shelf registration statement for the sale of debt and equity securities which replaced the shelf registration statement filed by Dominion Energy in June 2017.

Net cash provided by Dominion Energy's financing activities was $339 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net cash used by financing activities of $500 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to higher issuances and lower repayments of long-term debt, partially offset by lower net issuances of short-term debt, lower issuances of common stock, repurchases of common stock in 2020 and the absence of the issuance of the 2019 Equity Units.

In November 2017, Dominion Energy filed a SEC shelf registration statement for the sale of up to $3.0 billion of variable denomination floating rate demand notes, called Dominion Energy Reliability Investment^SM. In October 2020, Dominion Energy filed a new SEC shelf registration statement associated with this program. The registration limits the principal amount that may be outstanding at any one time to $1.0 billion. The notes are offered on a continuous basis and bear interest at a floating rate per annum determined by the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Committee, or its designee, on a weekly basis. The notes have no stated maturity date, are non-transferable and may be redeemed in whole or in part by Dominion Energy or at the investor’s option at any time. The balance as of September 30, 2020 was $215 million. The notes are short-term debt obligations on Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.

In July 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of Dominion Energy’s common stock and rescinded the prior two authorizations from 2005 and 2007. The repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price or volume targets and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise at the discretion of management subject to prevailing market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors. As of September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy had repurchased $2.4 billion of its common stock under this program.

See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for further information regarding Dominion Energy’s credit facilities, liquidity and significant financing transactions.

Credit Ratings

Credit ratings are intended to provide banks and capital market participants with a framework for comparing the credit quality of securities and are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. In the Credit Ratings section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, there is a discussion on the use of capital markets by Dominion Energy as well as the impact of credit ratings on the accessibility and costs of using these markets. As of September 30, 2020, there have been no changes in Dominion Energy’s credit ratings.

Debt Covenants

In the Debt Covenants section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, there is a discussion on the various covenants present in the enabling agreements underlying Dominion Energy’s debt. In addition, see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a description of certain financial covenants associated with term loan and revolving credit agreements entered into in the first quarter of 2020. As of September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to debt covenants, nor any events of default under Dominion Energy’s debt covenants.

Future Cash Payments for Contractual Obligations and Planned Capital Expenditures

As of September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to Dominion Energy’s contractual obligations nor any material changes to planned capital expenditures as disclosed in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, with the exception of the following matter.

106

The lease term will commence once construction is substantially complete and the facility is able to be occupied and will end in December 2027. 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 third party using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the highest cash purchase price for the property. If the project is sold and the proceeds from the sale are insufficient to repay the investors for the project costs, Dominion Energy may be required to make a payment to the lessor, up to 83% of project costs, for the difference between the project costs and sale proceeds. Dominion Energy is not considered the owner during construction for financial accounting purposes and, therefore, will not reflect the construction activity in its consolidated financial statements. Dominion Energy expects to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding finance lease liability at the commencement of the lease term. Dominion Energy will be considered the owner of the leased property for tax purposes, and as a result, will be entitled to tax deductions for depreciation and interest expense.

Future Issues and Other Matters

The following discussion of future issues and other information includes current developments of previously disclosed matters and new issues arising during the period covered by, and subsequent to, the dates of Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements that may impact future results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. This section should be read in conjunction with Item 1. Business and Future Issues and Other Matters in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 Future Issues and Other Matters in MD&A in the Companies’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Environmental Matters

Dominion Energy is subject to costs resulting from a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. These laws and regulations affect future planning and existing operations. They can result in increased capital, operating and other costs as a result of compliance, remediation, containment and monitoring obligations. See Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information on various environmental matters.

Legal Matters

Significant Contracted Assets Investment

In August 2020, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement for construction of a Jones Act compliant offshore wind installation vessel. This vessel is designed to handle current turbine technologies as well as next generation turbine sizes of 12 MW or larger and which upon delivery will be U.S. flagged with coastwise endorsement, and is expected to operate for several years under contracts

107

with multiple major U.S. offshore wind developers. The vessel is expected to enter service in 2023 with total estimated project costs of approximately $500 million, excluding financing costs.

Virginia Legislation

In October 2020, legislation was passed by the Virginia General Assembly, and is awaiting signature by the Governor of Virginia, relating to the moratorium on utility disconnections during the COVID-19 pandemic. Virginia Power would be required to forgive customer balances that are more than 30 days past due as of September 30, 2020, which totaled approximately $125 million. During Virginia Power’s 2021 quadrennial review, the forgiven balances would be excluded from Virginia Power’s cost of service for purposes of determining any test period earnings and determining any future rates. In determining any customer bill credits as part of the review of the 2017 through 2020 test period, the Virginia Commission would first offset any forgiven balance amounts if total earnings for the test period are determined to be above Virginia Power’s authorized earnings band. Such offset would be made prior to any offset to customer bill credits by customer credit reinvestment offsets. This legislation, if enacted, could have a material impact to Dominion Energy’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

COVID-19

Dominion Energy continues to monitor the global outbreak of COVID-19 and has taken appropriate steps to mitigate the potential risks to Dominion Energy, its employees and its customers posed by the spread of the virus. Dominion Energy provides a critical service to its customers which means that it is paramount for the company to keep its employees who operate its businesses safe and informed. For example, Dominion Energy has taken precautions with regard to employee and facility hygiene, imposed travel limitations on employees, directed employees to work remotely whenever possible and expanded health and paid time off benefits for employees. Additional protocols have been implemented for required work within customer premises to protect Dominion Energy’s employees, such customers and the public. In addition, Dominion Energy has assessed and updated its existing business continuity plans for its business units in the context of this pandemic. Working with a medical advisor, Dominion Energy developed a COVID-19 training program, which has been rolled out to employees. Dominion Energy is providing all appropriate personal protection equipment to keep employees safe and has implemented additional protections such as temperature screenings, testing services, and mandatory face covering policies. Dominion Energy continues to work with suppliers to monitor the potential impacts to its supply chain; however, at this time, no material risks to Dominion Energy’s supply chain have been identified. This is a rapidly evolving situation, and Dominion Energy will continue to monitor developments affecting its workforce, suppliers and other aspects of its business, such as construction projects, and will take additional precautions as Dominion Energy believes are warranted. In addition, Dominion Energy continues to monitor both customer demand and its ability to collect customer receivables. While Dominion Energy currently does not expect a material impact to its results of operations from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, the ultimate impacts on its results of operations, financial position and/or cash flows could be material based on the ultimate duration of the pandemic and the related economic recovery.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management

The Companies’ financial instruments, commodity contracts and related financial derivative instruments are exposed to potential losses due to adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates and equity security prices as described below. Commodity price risk is present in the Companies’ electric operations and Dominion Energy’s natural gas procurement and marketing operations due to the exposure to market shifts in prices received and paid for electricity, natural gas and other commodities. The Companies use commodity derivative contracts to manage price risk exposures for these operations. Interest rate risk is generally related to their outstanding debt and future issuances of debt. In addition, the Companies are exposed to investment price risk through various portfolios of equity and debt securities.

The following sensitivity analysis estimates the potential loss of future earnings or fair value from market risk sensitive instruments over a selected time period due to a 10% change in commodity prices or interest rates.

Commodity Price Risk

To manage price risk, the Companies hold commodity-based derivative instruments held for non-trading purposes associated with purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products.

The derivatives used to manage commodity price risk are executed within established policies and procedures and may include instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps, options and FTRs that are sensitive to changes in the related commodity prices. For sensitivity analysis purposes, the hypothetical change in market prices of commodity-based derivative instruments is determined based on models that consider the market prices of commodities in future periods, the volatility of the market prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the derivative instruments. Prices and volatility are principally determined based on observable market prices.

A hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of $22 million and $50 million of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

A hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of $43 million and $54 million of Virginia Power’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The impact of a change in energy commodity prices on the Companies' commodity-based derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net losses from commodity-based financial derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction, such as revenue from physical sales of the commodity.

Interest Rate Risk

The Companies manage their interest rate risk exposure predominantly by maintaining a balance of fixed and variable rate debt. They also enter into interest rate sensitive derivatives, including interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements. For variable rate debt outstanding for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material change in earnings at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

The Companies also use interest rate derivatives, including forward-starting swaps, as hedges of forecasted interest payments. As of September 30, 2020, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $8.5 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $113 million and $62 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power interest rate derivatives at September 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $6.4 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $135 million and $88 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2019.

109

Prior to completing the GT&S Transaction, Dominion Energy held foreign currency swaps for the purpose of hedging the foreign currency exchange risk associated with Euro denominated debt. At both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had €250 million in aggregate notional amounts of these foreign currency swaps outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material decrease in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s foreign currency swaps at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

The impact of a change in interest rates on the Companies’ interest rate-based financial derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net gains and/or losses from interest rate derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction.

Investment Price Risk

The Companies are subject to investment price risk due to securities held as investments in nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust funds that are managed by third-party investment managers. These trust funds primarily hold marketable securities that are reported in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

Dominion Energy recognized net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $130 million and $691 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments in both 2020 and 2019 as well as any other-than-temporary declines in fair value in 2019 only. Dominion Energy recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net increase in unrealized gains on debt investments of $42 million and $73 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $74 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Virginia Power recognized net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $31 million and $335 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $481 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments in both 2020 and 2019 as well as any other-than-temporary declines in fair value in 2019 only. Virginia Power recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net increase in unrealized gains on debt investments of $22 million and $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $30 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Dominion Energy sponsors pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans that hold investments in trusts to fund employee benefit payments. Virginia Power employees participate in these plans. Differences between actual and expected returns on plan assets are accumulated and amortized during future periods. As such, any investment-related declines in these trusts will result in future increases in the net periodic cost recognized for employee benefit plans and will be included in the determination of the amount of cash to be contributed to the employee benefit plans.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Senior management of both Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, including Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of each company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation process, each of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s CEO and CFO have concluded that each company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect Dominion Energy or Virginia Power’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Companies are alleged to be in violation or in default under orders, statutes, rules or regulations relating to the environment, compliance plans imposed upon or agreed to by the Companies, or permits issued by various local, state and/or federal agencies for the construction or operation of facilities. Administrative proceedings may also be pending on these matters. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Companies and their subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings.

In March 2018, Virginia Power received a proposed consent order from the VDEQ in connection with alleged CWA permit violations at the Chesterfield power station in 2017. Virginia Power began working cooperatively with both the VDEQ and the EPA to resolve those and certain other alleged violations collectively. In March 2020, Virginia Power finalized a consent decree with the VDEQ and the EPA that would require Virginia Power to pay a $1.4 million civil penalty in connection with various alleged CWA permit and other violations. In July 2020, the consent decree was entered by order of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. In August 2020, Virginia Power paid the civil penalty.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

The following disclosure would have otherwise been filed on a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 8.01 Other Events:

GHG Emissions

This section should be read in conjunction with information disclosed under the heading Environmental Strategy in Item 1. Business of the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Dominion Energy’s integrated environmental strategy supports a reduction in GHG emissions. As of December 2019, Dominion Energy has cut carbon emissions from its electric generating units (based on ownership percentage) by 57% since 2005 and reduced methane emissions from its natural gas infrastructure operations by 25% since 2010. Dominion Energy has committed to achieve net zero carbon and methane emissions from its electric generation and natural gas infrastructure operations by 2050.

Dominion Energy has been reporting greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon, methane, N₂O and SF₆, from its natural gas infrastructure, electric generation and power delivery operations to the EPA since 2011 under the EPA mandatory GHG Reporting

112

Program. Because the EPA mandatory GHG Reporting Program sets boundaries for reporting, Dominion Energy is not required to report carbon and methane emissions from a number of its smaller electric generation, natural gas compressor stations and other sources. However, Dominion Energy voluntarily includes carbon and methane emission estimates from these smaller sources in its Corporate GHG Inventory.

Dominion Energy conducted a comprehensive review of its methane emissions tracking and reporting processes to find opportunities for improvement and to ensure that its methane corporate inventory is as complete as possible. Based on these activities, Dominion Energy identified over a dozen areas of improvement for its Corporate GHG Methane Inventory, which resulted in an increase of approximately 15% in reported methane emissions compared to the EPA-methodology inventory.

Emissions for calendar year 2019 herein, include the assets from DESC’s electric generation operations and DESC and PSNC’s natural gas operations, which were not included in Dominion Energy’s 2018 Corporate GHG Methane and Carbon Inventories. In addition, reported CO₂ equivalent emissions include carbon, methane, N₂O, and SF₆ emissions from Dominion Energy’s electric generating units, natural gas operations, power delivery transmission and distribution operations, and associated equipment.

For Dominion Energy’s electric generation operations, total CO₂equivalent emissions (based on ownership percentage) were approximately 31.9 million metric tons in 2019, including 9.9 million metric tons from DESC and 22.0 million metric tons from Virginia Power.

For Dominion Energy’s power delivery operations, which includes regulated electric transmission and distribution, direct CO₂ equivalent emissions for 2019 were 48,604 metric tons.

Total CO₂equivalent emissions reported for Dominion Energy’s natural gas infrastructure operations, as estimated in Dominion Energy’s Corporate GHG Methane Inventory, were 4.95 million metric tons in 2019. This estimate includes emissions reported under the EPA mandatory GHG Reporting Program, as well as other emissions not required to be reported. Dominion Energy’s 2019 and 2018 methane emissions from its gas infrastructure as reported under Subpart W of the EPA mandatory GHG Reporting Program are as follows:

	Subpart W Total CH4 Emissions (mcf CH4)
Subpart W Segment	2019		2018
Distribution		1,809,104		1,839,577
Production		831,331		736,188
Transmission pipelines		238,401		403,164
Transmission compressor stations		131,401		219,011
