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 distributors of energy. Dominion Energy’s operations are conducted through various subsidiaries, including Virginia Power. Dominion Energy’s operations also include DESC, regulated gas distribution operations primarily in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S., nonregulated electric generation and a noncontrolling interest in Cove Point.
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, 2021.
In the Companies’ opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly their financial position at March 31, 2022 and their results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. 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. Clearway’s ownership interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars (through December 2021) and Terra Nova Renewable Partners’ 33% interest in certain Dominion Energy nonregulated solar projects (through December 2021) are reflected as noncontrolling interest in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Information for quarterly periods is affected by seasonal variations in sales, rate changes, electric fuel and other energy-related purchases, purchased gas expenses and other factors.
Certain amounts in the Companies’ 2021 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 presentation for comparative purposes; however, such reclassifications did not affect the Companies’ net income, total assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows. Effective in the second quarter of 2021, the Companies updated their Statements of Cash Flows to present net charges for allowance for credit risk and write-offs of accounts receivables within other adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities from the previous presentation within changes in accounts receivable. All prior period information has been conformed to this presentation, which does not result in a change to net cash provided by operating activities.
Amounts disclosed for Dominion Energy are inclusive of Virginia Power, where applicable. There have been no significant changes from Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, with the exception of the items described below.

Property, Plant and Equipment
In the first quarter of 2022, Virginia Power revised the depreciation rates for its assets to reflect the results of a new depreciation study. The change resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense in Virginia Power’s Consolidated Statements of Income of $15 million ($11 million after-tax) and an increase in Dominion Energy’s EPS of $0.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The
21
revision is expected to decrease Virginia Power’s annual depreciation expense by approximately $60 million ($45 million after-tax) and increase Dominion Energy’s EPS by approximately $0.05.
Note 3. Acquisitions and Dispositions
Disposition of Gas Transmission & Storage Operations
In December 2021, Dominion Energy completed the sale of the Q-Pipe Group to Southwest Gas, as discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, Dominion Energy recognized a gain of $27 million ($20 million after-tax) in discontinued operations in its Consolidated Statements of Income associated with finalization of working capital adjustments.
In connection with the closing of the sale of the Q-Pipe Group, Dominion Energy and Southwest Gas entered into a transition services agreement under which Dominion Energy will continue to provide specified administrative services to support the operations of the disposed businesses for up to 12 months after closing, subject to extension. Dominion Energy recorded $1 million associated with the transition services agreement in operating revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Sale of Hope
In February 2022, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the equity interests in Hope to Ullico for $690 million of cash consideration, subject to customary closing adjustments. The sale will be treated as a stock sale for tax purposes and is expected to close by the end of 2022, contingent on clearance or approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and from the West Virginia Commission, and other customary closing and regulatory conditions. In March 2022, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act expired. Also in March 2022, Dominion Energy filed for review and approval with the West Virginia Commission.
In the first quarter of 2022, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $87 million in income tax expense in its Consolidated Statements of Income to reflect the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of Hope’s stock upon meeting the classification as held for sale. These deferred taxes will reverse upon closing of the sale. See Note 5 for additional information. Following closing of the sale, Dominion Energy expects to recognize a pre-tax gain of approximately $60 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, (net of $108 million write-off of goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes) and an after-tax loss of approximately $40 million.
22
At March 31, 2022, the assets and liabilities of Hope, included in Gas Distribution, are classified as held for sale and reflected in current assets held for sale and current liabilities held for sale, respectively, in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amounts of major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

Sale of Kewaunee
In May 2021, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the equity interests in Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. to EnergySolutions, including the transfer of all decommissioning obligations associated with Kewaunee, which ceased operations in 2013. The agreement provides that Dominion Energy retains the assets and obligations of the pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans. In addition, Dominion Energy may continue to withdraw funds prior to closing from the nuclear decommissioning trust to recover certain spent nuclear fuel and other permitted costs, subject to certain conditions. The sale will be treated as an asset sale for tax purposes and is subject to termination by either party if not completed by December 2022. Closing is contingent on approval from the Wisconsin Commission as well as the NRC for the transfer of control of applicable licenses. The purchase agreement requires that EnergySolutions be subject to the Wisconsin regulatory conditions agreed to by Dominion Energy upon its acquisition of Kewaunee, including the return of any excess decommissioning funds to WPSC and WP&L customers following completion of all decommissioning activities.
In May 2021, Dominion Energy and EnergySolutions submitted a license transfer application to the NRC. Also in May 2021, Dominion Energy submitted an application to the Wisconsin Commission for approval. In July 2021, WPSC and WP&L submitted a joint request to the Wisconsin Commission for the waiver of both of their rights of first refusal to purchase Kewaunee, such rights having been granted as the former owners of Kewaunee. In March 2022, the NRC approved the requested license transfer. At March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy determined that the assets and liabilities associated with the Kewaunee sale, included in Contracted Assets, did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the timing of or ability to obtain approval by the Wisconsin Commission.
Dominion Energy expects to record a loss if and when it determines that criteria for the classification as held for sale have been met. If such classification had been made at March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy would have recognized a loss of approximately $660 million ($520 million after-tax). If the sale is ultimately completed, the final net loss will primarily depend on the value of the nuclear decommissioning trust and AROs at closing.

As described in Note 3, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the equity interests in Hope that will be treated as a stock sale for income tax purposes. In connection with the pending sale, Dominion Energy established $87 million of deferred tax liabilities reflecting the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis in Hope’s stock. These deferred taxes will reverse upon closing of the sale, which is expected to occur by the end of 2022.
As of March 31, 2022, 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, 2021, for a discussion of these unrecognized tax benefits.
Discontinued operations
Income tax expense reflected in discontinued operations is $6 million and $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

In accordance with revised accounting standards effective January 2022, a fair value adjustment, if dilutive, of the Series A Preferred Stock is no longer included in applying the if converted method to the 2019 Equity Units. In addition, diluted net income is no longer reduced by the Series A Preferred Stock dividends. No fair value adjustment was necessary for the three months ended March 31, 2021. |
(2) |
Dilutive securities for 2022 consist primarily of the 2019 Equity Units (applying the if converted method as updated effective January 2022), stock expected to be issued to satisfy the obligation under a settlement agreement with the SCDOR (applying the if converted method) as well as forward sales agreements entered into in November 2021 (applying the treasury stock method). See Notes 16 and 17 for additional information. |
The 2019 Equity Units and the Q-Pipe Transaction deposit, prior to being settled in cash in July 2021, are potentially dilutive instruments. See Note 3 and Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the forward stock purchase contracts included within the 2019 Equity Units were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met, the Series A Preferred Stock included within the 2019 Equity Units was excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations based upon the expectation that the conversion will be settled in cash rather than through the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock and a fair value adjustment related to the Series A Preferred Stock included within the 2019 Equity Units is excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations, as such fair value adjustment was not dilutive during the period.
The impact of settling the deposit associated with the Q-Pipe Transaction in shares is excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 based upon the expectation Dominion Energy would settle in cash, which occurred in July 2021, rather than through the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock.

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, 2021. See Note 9 in this report for additional 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 and futures contracts. An option model is used to value Level 3 physical options. The discounted cash flow model for forwards and futures 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.

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:

Fair value is estimated using market prices, where available, and interest rates currently available for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. All fair value measurements are classified as Level 2. The carrying amount of debt issuances with short-term maturities and variable rates refinanced at current market rates is a reasonable estimate of their fair value. |
(2) |
Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs and discount or premium. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amount includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with fixed rate debt of $1 million and $2 million, respectively. |
(3) |
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, 2021. See Note 8 in this report for additional information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives.
Derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross on the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Companies’ derivative contracts include both over-the-counter transactions and those that are executed on an exchange or other trading platform (exchange contracts) and centrally cleared. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a third party. Exchange contracts utilize a financial intermediary, exchange, or clearinghouse to enter, execute or clear the transactions. Certain over-the-counter and exchange contracts contain contractual rights of setoff through master netting arrangements, derivative clearing agreements and contract default provisions. In addition, the contracts are subject to conditional rights of setoff through counterparty nonperformance, insolvency or other conditions.
33
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. In February 2022, Dominion Energy entered into contracts representing offsetting positions to certain existing exchange contracts with collateral requirements as well as new over-the-counter transactions that are not subject to collateral requirements. These contracts resulted in positions which limit the risk of increased cash collateral requirements. Certain accounts receivable and accounts payable recognized on the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets, letters of credit and other forms of securities, as well as certain other long-term debt, all of which are not included in the tables below, are subject to offset under master netting or similar arrangements and would reduce the net exposure. See Note 18 for additional information regarding credit-related contingent features for the Companies’ derivative instruments.

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

Fair Value Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings and presented in the same line item. There were no derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
The following table presents the amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges, all of which related to discontinued hedging relationships at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Equity Method Investments
Dominion Energy recorded equity earnings on its investments of $80 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, in earnings from equity method investees in its Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, Dominion Energy recorded equity losses of $2 million and $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in discontinued operations related to its investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Dominion Energy received distributions of $76 million and $73 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Dominion Energy made contributions of $74 million and $1.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the net difference between the carrying amount of Dominion Energy’s investments and its share of underlying equity in net assets was $231 million and $244 million, respectively. At March 31, 2022, these differences are primarily comprised of $11 million of equity method goodwill that is not being amortized and a $219 million basis difference from Dominion Energy’s investment in Cove Point, which is being amortized over the useful lives of the underlying assets. At December 31, 2021, these differences are comprised of $27 million of equity method goodwill that is not being amortized, a $221 million basis difference from Dominion Energy’s investment in Cove Point, which is being amortized over the useful lives of the underlying assets, and a net $(4) million basis difference primarily attributable to an unfunded commitment made to Align RNG.
Cove Point
Dominion Energy holds a 50% noncontrolling limited partnership interest in Cove Point which is accounted for as an equity method investment, 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, 2021.
45
Income before income taxes recorded by Cove Point was $151 million and $138 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Earnings attributable to Dominion Energy are presented within earnings from equity method investees in its Consolidated Statements of Income.
Dominion Energy recorded distributions from Cove Point of $76 million and $73 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Atlantic Coast Pipeline
A description of Dominion Energy’s investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline, including events that led to the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project in July 2020, is included in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy has recorded a liability of $115 million and $113 million, respectively, in other current liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets 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 AROs.
Dominion Energy recorded contributions of $965 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Dominion Energy recorded no contributions during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to Atlantic Coast Pipeline.
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.
Wrangler
In March 2022, Dominion Energy sold its remaining 15% noncontrolling partnership interest in Wrangler to Interstate Gas Supply, Inc. for cash consideration of $85 million. Dominion Energy recognized a gain of $11 million ($8 million after-tax), included in other income, in its Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
All activity relating to Wrangler is recorded within the Corporate and Other segment.
Dominion Privatization
In February 2022, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to form Dominion Privatization, a partnership with Patriot. Dominion Privatization, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, will maintain and operate electric and gas distribution infrastructure under service concession arrangements with certain U.S. military installations. Under the agreement, Dominion Energy will contribute its existing privatization operations, excluding contracts held by DESC, and Patriot will contribute cash.
The initial contribution, consisting of privatization operations in South Carolina, Texas and Pennsylvania, closed in March 2022 for which Dominion Energy received total consideration of $120 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, comprised of $60 million in cash proceeds and a 50% noncontrolling ownership interest in Dominion Privatization with an initial fair value of $60 million, estimated using the market approach. This is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement given that it is based on the agreed-upon sales price. In connection with the transaction, Dominion Energy recorded a gain of $23 million ($16 million after-tax), presented in other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statements of Income. Dominion Energy’s 50% noncontrolling ownership interest in Dominion Privatization is accounted for as an equity method investment as Dominion Energy has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee.
Dominion Energy expects to contribute its existing privatization operations in Virginia to Dominion Privatization by the end of 2022, contingent on clearance or approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and other customary closing and regulatory conditions. In April 2022, Dominion Energy filed with the Federal Trade Commission for approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. The contribution of the service concession arrangements currently held by Virginia Power also requires approval from the Virginia and North Carolina Commissions. Upon closing of the second contribution, Dominion Energy expects to receive cash proceeds totaling $108 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, and to recognize a gain of approximately $130 million ($100 million after-tax). When this future contribution occurs, Dominion Energy expects to maintain a 50% noncontrolling ownership interest in Dominion Privatization.
At March 31, 2022, $85 million of contracts and related assets and $4 million of liabilities associated with existing privatization operations in Virginia are classified as held for sale and reflected in current assets held for sale and current liabilities held for sale, respectively, in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, in Virginia Power’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
All activity relating to Dominion Privatization is reflected within the Corporate and Other segment.

(9) |
For jurisdictions subject to cost-based rate regulation, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments result in the recognition of regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities as they are expected to be recovered from or refunded to customers. |
(10) |
Represents unrecognized pension and other postretirement employee benefit costs expected to be recovered or refunded through future rates generally over the expected remaining service period of plan participants by certain of Dominion Energy's rate-regulated subsidiaries. |
(11) |
Reflects interest rate hedges recoverable from or refundable to customers. Certain of these instruments are settled and any related payments are being amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt, which has a weighted-average useful life of approximately 27 years as of March 31, 2022. |
(12) |
Represents deferred depreciation and accretion expense related to legal obligations associated with the future retirement of generation, transmission and distribution properties. The AROs primarily relate to DESC’s electric generating facilities, including Summer, and are expected to be recovered over the related property lives and periods of decommissioning which may range up to approximately 105 years. |
(13) |
Rates charged to customers by Dominion Energy’s regulated businesses include a provision for the cost of future activities to remove assets that are expected to be incurred at the time of retirement. |

Note 13. Regulatory Matters
Regulatory Matters Involving Potential Loss Contingencies
As a result of issues generated in the ordinary course of business, the Companies are involved in various regulatory matters. Certain regulatory matters may ultimately result in a loss; however, as such matters are in an initial procedural phase, involve uncertainty as to the outcome of pending reviews or orders, and/or involve significant factual issues that need to be resolved, it is not possible for the Companies to estimate a range of possible loss. For regulatory matters that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the regulatory process such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For regulatory matters that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any estimated range is based on currently available information, involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties and may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such regulatory matters will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current matters not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
Other Regulatory Matters
Other than the following matters, there have been no significant developments regarding the pending regulatory matters disclosed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Virginia Regulation
Virginia Fuel Expenses
In May 2022, Virginia Power filed its annual fuel factor filing with the Virginia Commission to recover an estimated $2.3 billion in Virginia jurisdictional projected fuel expense for the rate year beginning July 1, 2022 and a projected $1.0 billion under-recovered balance as of June 30, 2022. Virginia Power’s proposed fuel rate represents a fuel revenue increase of $1.8 billion when applied to projected kilowatt-hour sales for that period. Virginia Power also proposed alternatives to recover this under-collected balance over a two- or three-year period. Under these alternatives, Virginia Power’s fuel revenues for the rate year would increase by $1.3 billion or $1.2 billion, respectively. In addition, Virginia Power proposed a change in the timing of fuel cost recovery for certain customers that would consider those customers’ portion of the projected under-recovered balance to have been recovered as of June 30, 2022. If approved, Virginia Power expects to recognize a charge of approximately $155 million to its Consolidated Statement of Income associated with these certain customers. This matter is pending.
Renewable Generation Projects
In September 2021, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission for CPCNs to construct and operate 13 utility-scale projects totaling approximately 661 MW of solar generation and 70 MW of energy storage as part of its efforts to meet the renewable generation development requirements under the VCEA. The projects are expected to cost approximately $1.4 billion in the aggregate, excluding financing costs, and be placed into service between 2022 and 2023. In March 2022, the Virginia Commission approved the petition.

In May 2022, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission requesting a suspension of Rider RGGI approved in August 2021. Virginia Power also requested that RGGI compliance costs incurred and unrecovered through July 2022 be recovered through existing base rates in effect during the period incurred. If approved by the Virginia Commission, Virginia Power expects to record charges to its Consolidated Statement of Income for the amount of any unrecovered costs, which are estimated to be approximately $215 million, including the impact of certain non-jurisdictional customers which follow Virginia Power’s jurisdictional customer rate methodology. This matter is pending.

South Carolina Regulation
DSM Programs
DESC has approval for a DSM rider through which it recovers expenditures related to its DSM programs. In January 2022, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission seeking approval to recover $60 million of costs and net lost revenues associated with these programs, along with an incentive to invest in such programs. In April 2022, the South Carolina Commission approved the request, effective with the first billing cycle of May 2022.
Cost of Fuel
DESC’s retail electric rates include a cost of fuel component approved by the South Carolina Commission which may be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the price of fuel purchased by DESC. In April 2022, the South Carolina Commission approved DESC’s request to increase the total fuel cost component of retail electric rates, effective with the first billing cycle of May 2022. The South Carolina Commission also approved DESC’s request to apply approximately $66 million representing the net balance of funds associated with the monetization of the bankruptcy settlement with Toshiba Corporation following the satisfaction of liens against NND Project property previously recorded in regulatory liabilities, as a reduction to its under-collected base fuel cost balance, along with a requested increase to DESC’s variable environmental and avoided capacity cost component. The net effect is an annual increase of $143 million.

Ohio Regulation
PIR Program
In 2008, East Ohio began PIR, aimed at replacing approximately 25% of its pipeline system. In April 2022, the Ohio Commission approved an extension of East Ohio’s PIR program for capital investments through 2026 with continuation of 3% increases of annual capital expenditures per year.
In February 2022, East Ohio filed an application with the Ohio Commission requesting approval to adjust the PIR cost recovery rates for 2021 costs. The filing reflects gross plant investment for 2021 of $225 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $2.2 billion and a revenue requirement of $273 million. This matter is pending.
CEP Program
In 2011, East Ohio began CEP which enables East Ohio to defer depreciation expense, property tax expense and carrying costs associated with CEP investments. In April 2022, certain parties filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Ohio appealing the Ohio Commission’s December 2020 order establishing the CEP rider, including the rate of return utilized in determining the revenue requirement. This matter is pending.
In February 2022, the Ohio Commission approved adjustments to CEP cost recovery rates for 2019 and 2020 costs. The approved rates reflect gross plant investment for 2019 and 2020 of $231 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $952 million and a revenue requirement of $118 million. The Ohio Commission also ordered that East Ohio should file its next base rate case by October 2023.
In April 2022, East Ohio filed an application with the Ohio Commission requesting approval to adjust CEP cost recovery rates for 2021 costs. The filing reflects gross plant investment for 2021 of $140 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $1.1 billion and a revenue requirement of $137 million. This matter is pending.
Utah Regulation
Utah Base Rate Case
In May 2022, Questar Gas filed its base rate case and schedules with the Utah Commission. Questar Gas proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $71 million effective January 2023. The base rate increase was proposed to recover the significant investment in distribution infrastructure for the benefit of Utah customers. The proposed rates would provide for an ROE of 10.3% compared to the currently authorized ROE of 9.5%. This matter is pending.
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, 2021.
Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income include $4 million and $34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of rental revenue included in operating revenue.

Corporate Office Leasing Arrangement
In December 2019, Dominion Energy signed an agreement with a lessor, as amended in May 2020, to construct and lease a new corporate office property in Richmond, Virginia. The lessor provided equity and had obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $465 million, to fund the estimated project costs. In March 2021, Dominion Energy notified the lessor of its intention to terminate the leasing arrangement effective April 2021. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $71 million ($53 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2021, included in impairments of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income, primarily for amounts required to be repaid to the lessor.
Note 15. Variable Interest Entities

Note 16. Significant Financing Transactions
Credit Facilities and Short-term Debt
The Companies use short-term debt to fund working capital requirements and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the year, depending upon the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. In addition, Dominion Energy utilizes cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements. Collateral requirements are impacted by commodity prices, hedging levels, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings and the credit quality of its counterparties. Other than the items discussed below, there have been no significant changes regarding the Companies’ credit facilities and short-term debt as described in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Dominion Energy
Dominion Energy’s short-term financing is supported by its $6.0 billion joint revolving credit facility that provides for a discount in the pricing of certain annual fees and amounts borrowed by Dominion Energy under the facility if Dominion Energy achieves certain annual renewable electric generation and diversity and inclusion objectives.

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 January 2022, Virginia Power issued $600 million of 2.40% senior notes and $400 million of 2.95% senior notes that mature in 2032 and 2051, respectively.
In April 2022, Virginia Power remarketed two series of tax-exempt bonds, with an aggregate outstanding principal of approximately $138 million to new investors. Both bonds will bear interest at a coupon of 1.65% until May 2024, after which they will bear interest at a market rate to be determined at that time.
In May 2022, Dominion Energy provided notice of its intention to borrow $900 million under its Sustainability Revolving Credit Facility which matures in 2024 and bears interest at a variable rate.
Preferred Stock
Dominion Energy is authorized to issue up to 20 million shares of preferred stock, which may be designated into separate classes. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy had issued and outstanding 3.4 million shares of preferred stock, 1.6 million, 0.8 million and 1.0 million of which were designated as the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, respectively.
Dominion Energy recorded dividends of $7 million ($4.375 per share) for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 on the Series A Preferred Stock. Dominion Energy recorded dividends of $9 million ($11.625 per share) for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 on the Series B Preferred Stock. Dominion Energy recorded dividends of $11 million ($10.875 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 on the Series C Preferred Stock.
Other than as discussed below, there have been no significant changes to Dominion Energy’s Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as described in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
55
2019 Corporate Units
The 2019 Equity Units, initially issued in the form of 2019 Series A Corporate Units, are described in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Equity Units, Dominion Energy will conduct a final remarketing for shares of Series A Preferred Stock in May 2022. In the event of a successful remarketing, the dividend rate on the preferred stock may be reset and the conversion rate on the preferred stock may increase depending on the closing price of Dominion Energy’s common stock on the date of the remarketing. In May 2022, Dominion Energy received a commitment from a financial institution to purchase up to 1.6 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the final remarketing if any such shares included in the final remarketing are not sold to other purchasers through a marketed process at a dividend rate of not more than 1.75% for the June 2022 through August 2022 dividend period, which dividend rate will increase to 6.75% effective September 2022. As a result, Dominion Energy, subject to approval by its Board of Directors and the settlement of a successful remarketing, will redeem all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in September 2022. In addition, Dominion Energy committed to make a short-term deposit of at least $1.6 billion but not more than $2.0 billion at the financial institution in May 2022. Dominion Energy will not directly receive proceeds from a successful remarketing as the remarketing will be conducted on behalf of investors that, as of the remarketing, continue to hold corporate units or otherwise elect to participate in the remarketing. Proceeds from a successful remarketing attributable to investors that continue to hold corporate units would be used to pay the purchase price to Dominion Energy for issuance of its common stock under the stock purchase contracts that are a component of such corporate units. In accordance with the terms of the 2019 Equity Units, if the final remarketing is unsuccessful, shares of the Series A Preferred Stock that remain a component of such corporate units as of the remarketing will be tendered to Dominion Energy to satisfy the investors’ obligation under the stock purchase contract, unless an investor elects to settle its stock purchase obligation in cash. Under the terms of the stock purchase contracts included in the 2019 Equity Units, 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 for consideration of $1.6 billion.
The stock purchase contract liability associated with Dominion Energy’s 2019 Equity Units was $22 million and $44 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Stock purchase contract payments of $22 million and $21 million were made during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Issuance of Common Stock
Dominion Energy recorded, net of fees and commissions, $45 million from the issuance of 1 million shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $48 million from the issuance of less than 1 million shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021, through various programs including Dominion Energy Direct® and employee savings plans as described in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In May 2022, Dominion Energy issued 0.9 million shares of its common stock, valued at $72 million, to partially satisfy DESC’s remaining obligation under a settlement agreement with the SCDOR discussed in Note 17.
At-the-Market Program
In August 2020, Dominion Energy entered into sales agency agreements to effect sales under an at-the-market program as discussed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Dominion Energy did not issue any shares or enter into any forward sale agreements under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Repurchase of Common Stock
In November 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of Dominion Energy’s common stock in addition to the $3.0 billion repurchase program authorized in July 2020 and completed in December 2020 as discussed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Dominion Energy did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
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
56
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. The Companies maintain various insurance programs, including general liability insurance coverage which provides coverage for personal injury or wrongful death cases. Any accrued liability is recorded on a gross basis with a receivable also recorded for any probable insurance recoveries. Estimated ranges of loss are inclusive of legal fees and net of any anticipated insurance recoveries. Any estimated range is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such legal proceedings and governmental examinations will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current proceedings not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
Environmental Matters
The Companies are subject to costs resulting from a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. These laws and regulations affect future planning and existing operations. They can result in increased capital, operating and other costs as a result of compliance, remediation, containment and monitoring obligations.
Air
The CAA, as amended, is a comprehensive program utilizing a broad range of regulatory tools to protect and preserve the nation’s air quality. At a minimum, states are required to establish regulatory programs to meet applicable requirements of the CAA. However, states may choose to develop regulatory programs that are more restrictive. Many of the Companies’ facilities are subject to the CAA’s permitting and other requirements.
Ozone Standards
The EPA published final non-attainment designations for the October 2015 ozone standard in June 2018 with states required to develop plans to address the new standard. Certain states in which the Companies operate have developed plans, and had such plans approved or partially approved by the EPA, which are not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ results of operations or cash flows. However, until implementation plans for the standard are developed and approved for all states in which the Companies operate, the Companies are unable to predict whether or to what extent the new rules will ultimately require additional controls. The expenditures required to implement additional controls could have a material impact on the Companies’ results of operations and cash flows.
ACE Rule
In July 2019, the EPA published the final rule informally referred to as the ACE Rule, as a replacement for the Clean Power Plan. The ACE Rule regulated GHG emissions from existing coal-fired power plants pursuant to Section 111(d) of the CAA and required states to develop plans by July 2022 establishing unit-specific performance standards for existing coal-fired power plants. In January 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated the ACE Rule and remanded it to the EPA. This decision would take effect upon issuance of the court’s mandate. In March 2021, the court issued a partial mandate vacating and remanding all parts of the ACE Rule except for the portion of the ACE Rule that repealed the Clean Power Plan. In October 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit’s decision on the ACE Rule. While the EPA has stated its intention to replace the ACE Rule, it is unknown at this time if or how the EPA will issue a replacement for the ACE Rule and how that replacement will affect the Companies’ operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Carbon Regulations
In August 2016, the EPA issued a draft rule proposing to reaffirm that a source’s obligation to obtain a PSD or Title V permit for GHGs is triggered only if such permitting requirements are first triggered by non-GHG, or conventional, pollutants that are regulated by the New Source Review program, and exceed a significant emissions rate of 75,000 tons per year of CO2 equivalent 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
57
steam conditions for large units and subcritical steam conditions for small units) in combination with best operating practices. In January 2021, the EPA published a final rule affirming that fossil fuel-fired electric generating units meet the requirement that a source category “significantly contribute” to endangering air pollution for the purposes of regulating GHG emissions from new, modified and reconstructed stationary sources. The January 2021 rule also established a threshold for the “significant contribution” threshold that would have meant that no other source category, such as oil and gas facilities, petroleum refineries, and boilers, would meet that requirement at this time. In April 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted an unopposed motion by the EPA to vacate and remand the January 2021 rule. The proposed revision to the performance standards for coal-fired steam generating units remains pending. Until the EPA ultimately takes final action on this rulemaking, the Companies cannot predict the impact to their results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Water
The CWA, as amended, is a comprehensive program requiring a broad range of regulatory tools including a permit program to authorize and regulate discharges to surface waters with strong enforcement mechanisms. The Companies must comply with applicable aspects of the CWA programs at their operating facilities.
Regulation 316(b)
In October 2014, the final regulations under Section 316(b) of the CWA that govern existing facilities and new units at existing facilities that employ a cooling water intake structure and that have flow levels exceeding a minimum threshold became effective. The rule establishes a national standard for impingement based on seven compliance options, but forgoes the creation of a single technology standard for entrainment. Instead, the EPA has delegated entrainment technology decisions to state regulators. State regulators are to make case-by-case entrainment technology determinations after an examination of five mandatory facility-specific factors, including a social cost-benefit test, and six optional facility-specific factors. The rule governs all electric generating stations with water withdrawals above 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.
MGD, with a heightened entrainment analysis for those facilities over 125 MGD. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power currently have 15 and nine facilities, respectively, that are subject to the final regulations. Dominion Energy is also working with the EPA and state regulatory agencies to assess the applicability of Section 316(b) to eight hydroelectric facilities, including three Virginia Power facilities. The Companies anticipate that they may have to install impingement control technologies at certain of these stations that have once-through cooling systems. The Companies are currently evaluating the need or potential for entrainment controls under the final rule as these decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis after a thorough review of detailed biological, technological, and cost benefit studies.
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
58
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 13 sites associated with Dominion Energy remediation work has been substantially completed under federal or state oversight. Where required, the sites are following state-approved groundwater monitoring programs. Dominion Energy has proposed remediation plans associated with two sites, including one at Virginia Power, and expects to commence remediation activities in 2022 depending on receipt of final permits and approvals. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy had $52 million and $45 million, respectively, and Virginia Power had $25 million at both periods, of reserves recorded. Dominion Energy is associated with 12 additional sites, including two associated with Virginia Power, which are not under investigation by any state or federal environmental agency nor the subject of any current or proposed plans to perform remediation activities. Due to the uncertainty surrounding such sites, the Companies are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts.
Other Legal Matters
The Companies are defendants in a number of lawsuits and claims involving unrelated incidents of property damage and personal injury. Due to the uncertainty surrounding these matters, the Companies are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts; however, they could have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
SCANA Legal Proceedings
The following describes certain legal proceedings involving Dominion Energy, SCANA or DESC relating primarily to events occurring before closing of the SCANA Combination. In addition, certain legal matters which have been resolved are discussed in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include reserves of $257 million and $274 million, respectively, included in other current liabilities, and insurance receivables of $118 million at both dates, included within other receivables. These balances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include $70 million and $85 million, respectively, of offsetting reserves and insurance receivables related to personal injury or wrongful death cases which are currently pending. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, no charges were included in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income include charges of $60 million ($45 million after-tax) included within impairment of assets and other charges.
SCANA Shareholder Litigation
In September 2017, a shareholder derivative action was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina (the State Court Derivative Case). In September 2018, this action was consolidated with another action in the Business Court Pilot Program in Richland County. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, and that the defendants were unjustly enriched by bonuses they were paid in connection with the project. In January 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated action. In February 2019, one action was voluntarily dismissed. In March 2020, the court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss. In April 2020, the defendants filed a notice of appeal with the South Carolina Court of Appeals and a petition with the Supreme Court of South Carolina seeking appellate review of the denial of the motion to dismiss. In June 2020, the plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the appeal with the South Carolina Court of Appeals, which was granted in July 2020. In August 2020, the Supreme Court of South Carolina denied the defendants’ petition seeking appellate review. Also in August 2020, the defendants filed a petition for rehearing with the South Carolina Court of Appeals relating to the July 2020 ruling by the court, which was denied in October 2020. In November 2020, SCANA filed a petition of certiorari with the Supreme Court of South Carolina
59
seeking appellate review of the denial of SCANA’s motion to dismiss. This petition was denied in June 2021. Also in June 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle in the amount of $33 million to resolve this matter, subject to court approval. This settlement was reached in contemplation of and will be utilized to satisfy a portion of the Federal Court Merger Case and the State Court Merger Case discussed below. In November 2021, the parties executed a settlement agreement and filed with the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina for approval.
In January 2018, a purported class action was filed against SCANA, Dominion Energy and certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Lexington County, South Carolina (the City of Warren Lawsuit). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that defendants violated their fiduciary duties to shareholders by executing a merger agreement that would unfairly deprive plaintiffs of the true value of their SCANA stock, and that Dominion Energy aided and abetted these actions. Among other remedies, the plaintiff seeks to enjoin and/or rescind the merger.
In February 2018, a purported class action was filed against Dominion Energy and certain former directors of SCANA and DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina (the Metzler Lawsuit). The allegations made and the relief sought by the plaintiffs are substantially similar to that described for the City of Warren Lawsuit.
In September 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted the plaintiffs’ motion to consolidate the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit (the Federal Court Merger Case). In October 2019, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against certain former directors and executive officers of SCANA and DESC, which stated substantially similar allegations to those in the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit as well as an inseparable fraud claim. In November 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. In April 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina denied the motion to dismiss. In May 2020, SCANA filed a motion to intervene, which was denied in August 2020. In September 2020, SCANA filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. In June 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle in the amount of $63 million to resolve this matter as well as the State Court Merger Case described below, subject to court approval. This settlement was reached in contemplation of and will be partially satisfied by the State Court Derivative Case settlement described above. In November 2021, the parties executed a settlement agreement, as described above relating to this matter as well as the State Court Derivative Case and the State Court Merger Case, and filed with the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina for approval.
In May 2019, a case was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina (the State Court Merger Case). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, were unjustly enriched by the bonuses they were paid in connection with the project and breached their fiduciary duties to secure and obtain the best price for the sale of SCANA. Also in May 2019, the case was removed to the U.S. District Court of South Carolina by the non-South Carolina defendants. In June 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the case to state court. In January 2020, the case was remanded to state court. In February 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. In June 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle as described above relating to this matter as well as the Federal Court Merger Case and the State Court Derivative Case. In November 2021, the parties executed a settlement agreement, as described above relating to this matter as well as the State Court Derivative Case and the Federal Court Merger Case, and filed with the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina for approval.
Employment Class Actions and Indemnification
In August 2017, a case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina on behalf of persons who were formerly employed at the NND Project. In July 2018, the court certified this case as a class action. In February 2019, certain of these plaintiffs filed an additional case, which case has been dismissed and the plaintiffs have joined the case filed August 2017. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that SCANA, DESC, Fluor Corporation and Fluor Enterprises, Inc. violated the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act in connection with the decision to stop construction at the NND Project. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants failed to provide adequate advance written notice of their terminations of employment and are seeking damages, which could be as much as $100 million for 100% of the NND Project. In January 2021, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted summary judgment in favor of SCANA, DESC, Fluor Corporation and Fluor Enterprises, Inc. In February 2021, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. In November 2021, the U.S Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the lower court ruling. In March 2022, the deadline to file an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States expired.
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. As a result of the ruling in favor of the defendants in the aforementioned case, any potential loss by DESC would be limited to an inconsequential amount.

Governmental Proceedings and Investigations
In June 2018, DESC received a notice of proposed assessment of approximately $410 million, excluding interest, from the SCDOR following its audit of DESC’s sales and use tax returns for the periods September 1, 2008 through December 31, 2017. The proposed assessment, which includes 100% of the NND Project, is based on the SCDOR’s position that DESC’s sales and use tax exemption for the NND Project does not apply because the facility will not become operational. In December 2020, the parties reached an agreement in principle in the amount of $165 million to resolve this matter. In June 2021, the parties executed a settlement agreement which allows DESC to fund the settlement amount through a combination of cash, shares of Dominion Energy common stock or real estate with an initial payment of at least $43 million in shares of Dominion Energy common stock. In August 2021, Dominion Energy issued 0.6 million shares of its common stock to satisfy DESC’s obligation for the initial payment under the settlement agreement. In May 2022, Dominion Energy issued an additional 0.9 million shares of its common stock to partially satisfy DESC’s remaining obligation under the settlement agreement.
Nuclear Operations
Nuclear Insurance
There have been no significant changes regarding the Companies’ nuclear insurance as described in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
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, 2021, 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.
Guarantees, Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit
At March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had issued four guarantees related to Cove Point, an equity method investment, in support of terminal services, transportation and construction. Two of the Cove Point guarantees have a cumulative maximum exposure of $1.9 billion while the other two guarantees have no maximum limit. No amounts related to these guarantees have been recorded.
In addition, at March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had issued an additional $20 million of guarantees, primarily to support third parties. No amounts related to these guarantees have been recorded.
Dominion Energy also enters into guarantee arrangements on behalf of its consolidated subsidiaries, primarily to facilitate their commercial transactions with third parties. If any of these subsidiaries fail to perform or pay under the contracts and the counterparties seek performance or payment, Dominion Energy would be obligated to satisfy such obligation. To the extent that a liability subject to a guarantee has been incurred by one of Dominion Energy’s consolidated subsidiaries, that liability is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Dominion Energy is not required to recognize liabilities for guarantees issued on behalf of its subsidiaries unless it becomes probable that it will have to perform under the guarantees. Terms of the guarantees typically end once obligations have been paid. Dominion Energy currently believes it is unlikely that it would be required to perform or otherwise incur any losses associated with guarantees of its subsidiaries’ obligations.
At March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had issued the following subsidiary guarantees:

(6) In July 2016, Dominion Energy signed an agreement with a lessor to construct and lease a new corporate office property in Richmond, Virginia. The lessor provided equity and obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $365 million, which funded total project costs. The project became substantially complete in August 2019 at which point the facility was available for Dominion Energy’s use and the
lease term commenced. 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 87% of project costs, for the difference between the project costs and sale proceeds. At March 31, 2022, no amounts have been recorded related to this guarantee.
Additionally, at March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had purchased $227 million of surety bonds, including $156 million at Virginia Power, and authorized the issuance of letters of credit by financial institutions of $112 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, 2021.
At March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy’s credit exposure totaled $96 million, primarily related to price risk management activities. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 85%. No single counterparty, whether investment grade or non-investment grade, exceeded $27 million of exposure. At March 31, 2022, Virginia Power’s exposure related to wholesale customers totaled $14 million. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 57%. No single counterparty, whether investment grade or non-investment grade, exceeded $3 million of exposure.
Credit-Related Contingent Provisions
Certain 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy would have been required to post $128 million and $31 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 $125 million and $66 million of collateral at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, related to derivatives with credit-related contingent provisions that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash. 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 $253 million and $97 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which does not include the impact of any offsetting asset positions.
Certain of Virginia Power’s derivative instruments contain credit-related contingent provisions. These provisions require Virginia Power to provide collateral upon the occurrence of specific events, primarily a credit rate downgrade. If the credit-related contingent features underlying these instruments that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash were fully triggered as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Virginia Power would have been required to post $39 million and $22 million, respectively, of additional collateral to its counterparties. The collateral that would be required to be posted includes the impacts of any offsetting asset position and any amounts already posted for derivatives and non-derivative contracts, per contractual terms. Virginia Power had posted $118 million and $54 million of collateral at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, related to derivatives with credit-related contingent provisions that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash. 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 $157 million and $76 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which does not include the impact of any offsetting asset positions.
See Note 9 for additional 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.

Net income attributable to Dominion Energy decreased 29%, primarily due to a decrease in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds and a charge to reflect the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of Hope’s stock upon meeting the classification as held for sale.

An analysis of Dominion Energy’s results of operations follows:
First Quarter 2022 vs. 2021
Operating revenue increased 11%, primarily reflecting:
• |
A $312 million increase in the fuel cost component included in utility rates as a result of an increase in commodity costs associated with sales to gas utility customers ($193 million) and electric utility retail customers ($119 million); |
• |
The absence of a $151 million decrease from an unbilled revenue reduction at Virginia Power; |
• |
A $69 million increase from Virginia Power riders; |
• |
A $37 million increase following the approved base rate case for PSNC; |
• |
A $21 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers associated with economic and other usage factors; and |
• |
A $20 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers, primarily due to an increase in heating degree days. |
These increases were partially offset by:
• |
A $112 million decrease associated with market prices affecting Millstone, including economic hedging impacts of net realized and unrealized losses on freestanding derivatives ($249 million); |
• |
A $51 million decrease as a result of the contribution of certain nonregulated gas retail energy contracts to Wrangler; |
• |
A $40 million decrease associated with settlements of economic hedges of certain Virginia Power regulated electric sales; |
• |
A $29 million decrease from an unplanned outage at Millstone; and |
• |
A $29 million decrease from the sale of non-wholly-owned nonregulated solar facilities. |
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 23%, primarily due to higher commodity costs for electric utilities, which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.
Purchased gas increased 33%, primarily due to an increase in commodity costs for gas utilities ($193 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, partially offset by a decrease as a result of the contribution of certain nonregulated natural gas retail energy contracts to Wrangler ($40 million).
Other operations and maintenance increased 4%, primarily reflecting:
• |
A $41 million increase in storm damage and restoration costs in Virginia Power’s service territory; |
• |
A $32 million increase in outside services; and |
71
• |
A $15 million increase in outage costs at Virginia Power ($9 million) and Millstone ($6 million); partially offset by |
• |
A $23 million gain on the contribution of certain privatization operations to Dominion Privatization. |
Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 15%, primarily due to an increase for amortization of a regulatory asset established in the settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review ($61 million), an increase in RGGI related amortization ($45 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, and an increase due to various projects being placed into service ($32 million), partially offset by depreciation rates revised in the first quarter of 2022 at Virginia Power ($21 million) and a decrease from the sale of non-wholly-owned nonregulated solar facilities ($14 million).
Impairment of assets and other charges decreased $105 million, primarily due to the absence of a charge for the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process ($76 million), the absence of a charge for corporate office lease termination ($71 million) and the absence of charges associated with litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination ($60 million), partially offset by the absence of a benefit for a change in the CCRO reserve associated with the 2021 Triennial Review ($130 million).
Other income decreased 84%, primarily due to net investment losses in 2022 compared to net investment gains in 2021 on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
Interest and related charges increased $121 million, primarily due to lower unrealized gains associated with freestanding derivatives ($138 million) and higher long-term debt interest expense resulting from net debt issuances ($32 million), partially offset by lower interest expense on junior subordinated notes due to repayments in 2021 ($25 million) and higher premiums received on interest rate derivatives ($14 million).
Income tax expense increased 11%, primarily due to a charge to reflect the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of Hope’s stock upon meeting the classification as held for sale that will reverse when the sale is completed ($87 million), partially offset by lower pre-tax income ($64 million).

An analysis of Virginia Power’s results of operations follows:
First Quarter 2022 vs. 2021
Operating revenue increased 18%, primarily reflecting:
• |
The absence of a $151 million decrease from an unbilled revenue reduction; |
• |
A $108 million increase in the fuel cost component included in utility rates as a result of a net increase in commodity costs associated with sales to electric utility retail customers; |
• |
A $69 million increase from riders; |
• |
A $35 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers associated with economic and other usage factors; and |
• |
A $19 million increase in sales to retail customers, primarily due to an increase in heating degree days. |
These increases were partially offset by:
• |
A $40 million decrease associated with settlements of economic hedges of certain regulated electric sales; and |
• |
A $15 million decrease reflecting a reduction in base rates associated with the settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review. |
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 27%, primarily due to higher commodity costs for electric utilities, which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.
Purchased electric capacity increased $14 million, primarily due to an increase in expense related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2021.
Other operations and maintenance increased 11%, primarily reflecting:
• |
A $41 million increase in storm damage and service restoration costs; |
• |
A $17 million increase in outside services; and |
76
• |
The absence of a $10 million reduction in bad debt expense due to the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process; partially offset by |
• |
A $14 million decrease in certain expenses which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income; and |
• |
A $11 million decrease in salaries, wages and benefits. |
Depreciation and amortization increased 32%, primarily due to an increase for amortization of a regulatory asset established in the settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review ($61 million), an increase in RGGI related amortization ($45 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, and an increase due to various projects being placed into service ($22 million), partially offset by depreciation rates revised in the first quarter of 2022 ($21 million).
Other taxes decreased 19%, primarily due to lower property taxes recorded in 2022 ($6 million) and lower business and occupational taxes as a result of a West Virginia legislative change ($5 million).
Impairment of assets and other charges increased $55 million, primarily due to the absence of a benefit for a change in the CCRO reserve associated with the 2021 Triennial Review ($130 million), partially offset by the absence of a charge for the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process ($76 million).
Other income decreased 88%, primarily due to net investment losses in 2022 compared to net investment gains in 2021 on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
Interest and related charges increased 9%, primarily due to higher long-term debt interest expense resulting from net debt issuances in 2022 and 2021.
Income tax expense decreased 13%, primarily due to lower pre-tax income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Dominion Energy depends on both cash generated from operations and external sources of liquidity to provide working capital and as a bridge to long-term financings. Dominion Energy’s material cash requirements include capital and investment expenditures, repaying short-term and long-term debt obligations and paying dividends on its common and preferred stock. This section should be read in conjunction with Item 7. MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by Dominion Energy's operating activities decreased $327 million, inclusive of a $12 million decrease from discontinued operations, primarily due to current year refund payments to Virginia electric customers associated with the settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review ($190 million), lower deferred fuel cost recoveries ($108 million) and changes in working capital ($134 million).
77
Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s investing activities decreased $734 million, primarily due to a decrease in contributions to equity method affiliates including Atlantic Coast Pipeline ($962 million) and proceeds from the sale of assets and equity method investments ($146 million), partially offset by an increase in plant construction and other property additions ($294 million).
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash provided by Dominion Energy's financing activities decreased $536 million primarily due to lower net issuances of short-term debt ($1.7 billion), partially offset by higher issuances, net of repayments and redemptions, of long-term debt ($1.0 billion) and the absence of repayment of the 364-day revolving supplemental credit facility borrowings ($225 million).
Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy generally uses proceeds from short-term borrowings, including commercial paper, to satisfy short-term cash requirements not met through cash from operations. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the year, depending on the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. There have been no significant changes to Dominion Energy’s use of credit facilities and/or short-term debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Dominion Energy Reliability InvestmentSM Program
Dominion Energy has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for the sale of up to $3.0 billion of variable denomination floating rate demand notes, called Dominion Energy Reliability InvestmentSM. The registration limits the principal amount that may be outstanding at any one time to $1.0 billion. The notes are offered on a continuous basis and bear interest at a floating rate per annum determined by the Dominion Energy 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 March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $473 million with respect to such notes presented within short-term debt. The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.
Credit Facilities
Dominion Energy maintains a $6.0 billion joint revolving credit facility which provides for a discount in the pricing of certain annual fees and amounts borrowed by Dominion Energy under the facility if Dominion Energy achieves certain annual renewable electric generation and diversity and inclusion objectives. At March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had $3.8 billion of unused capacity under its joint revolving credit facility. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for the balances of commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding.
In addition to the primary sources of short-term liquidity discussed above, from time to time Dominion Energy enters into separate supplementary credit facilities or term loans as discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Long-Term Debt
Issuances and Borrowings of Long-Term Debt

Dominion Energy currently meets the definition of a well-known seasoned issuer under SEC rules governing the registration, communication and offering processes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The rules provide for a streamlined shelf registration process to provide registrants with timely access to capital. This allows Dominion Energy to use automatic shelf registration statements to register any offering of securities, other than those for exchange offers or business combination transactions.
78
Dominion Energy maintains a $900 million Sustainability Revolving Credit Facility which matures in 2024 and bears interest at a variable rate for amounts borrowed for general corporate purposes. The facility also offers a reduced interest rate margin with respect to borrowed amounts allocated to certain environmental sustainability or social investment initiatives. At March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had no amounts outstanding under this supplemental credit facility. In May 2022, Dominion Energy provided notice of its intention to borrow $900 million under the facility.
Dominion Energy anticipates, excluding potential opportunistic financings, issuing between approximately $3.2 billion and $4.4 billion of long-term debt during 2022, inclusive of amounts issued through March 31, 2022 as shown above. The raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory requirements, including registration with the SEC for certain issuances.
Repayment, Repurchases and Redemptions of Long-Term Debt
Dominion Energy may from time to time reduce its outstanding debt and level of interest expense through redemption of debt securities prior to maturity or repurchases of debt securities in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers or otherwise.
The following long-term debt was repaid, repurchased or redeemed through March 31, 2022:

Credit Ratings
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings affect its liquidity, cost of borrowing under credit facilities and collateral posting requirements under commodity contracts, as well as the rates at which it is able to offer debt securities. The credit ratings for Dominion Energy are affected by its financial profile, mix of regulated and nonregulated businesses and respective cash flows, changes in methodologies used by the ratings agencies and event risk, if applicable, such as major acquisitions or dispositions. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and should be evaluated independently of any other rating. As of March 31, 2022, there have been no changes in Dominion Energy’s credit ratings.
Financial Covenants
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy is subject to various covenants present in the enabling agreements underlying Dominion Energy’s debt. As of March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to covenants, nor any events of default under Dominion Energy’s covenants.

CVOW Commercial Project
In March 2022, the Virginia Commission approved Virginia Power’s application filed in December 2021 for approval of a lease contract with an affiliated entity for the use of a Jones Act compliant offshore wind installation vessel currently under development. In April 2022, Virginia Power filed an application with the North Carolina Commission for approval of the same lease contract.
In May 2022, Virginia Power entered into forward purchase agreements with a notional amount of approximately €3.2 billion to hedge its foreign currency rate risk exposure to certain fixed price contracts for the major offshore construction and equipment components of the CVOW Commercial Project.

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 Companies’ exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk is related to certain fixed price contracts entered into in 2021 in connection with the CVOW Commercial Project. The contracts include services denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for approximately €2.6 billion and 5.1 billion kr. In addition, certain of the fixed price contracts, approximately €0.7 billion, contain commodity indexing provisions linked to steel. As a result, any changes in applicable exchange rates or commodity indices could result in a change to the ultimate cost of the project. In May 2022, Virginia Power entered into forward purchase agreements with a notional amount of approximately €3.2 billion to hedge its foreign currency rate risk exposure to certain fixed price contracts for the major offshore construction and equipment components of the CVOW Commercial Project.
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% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $78 million and $16 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $38 million and $6 million in the fair value of Virginia Power’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
The Companies also use interest rate derivatives, including forward-starting swaps, interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements to manage interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $14.4 billion and $3.9 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 $228 million and $141 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at March 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $11.4 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding. A
82
hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $191 million and $111 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2021.
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 losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $197 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $304 million and $1.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments as well as any other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Dominion Energy recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $134 million, $64 million and $64 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.
Virginia Power recognized net investment losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $89 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $153 million and $568 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments as well as any other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Virginia Power recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $68 million, $28 million and $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.
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.
83
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Companies are parties to various legal, environmental or other regulatory proceedings, including in the ordinary course of business. SEC regulations require disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that the Companies reasonably believe will exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to the SEC regulations, the Companies use a threshold of $1 million for such proceedings.
See the following for discussions on various legal, environmental and other regulatory proceedings to which the Companies are a party, which information is incorporated herein by reference:
