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, 2022.
In the Companies’ opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly their financial position at March 31, 2023, and their results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. 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.
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’ 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2023 presentation for comparative purposes; however, such reclassifications did not affect the Companies’ net income, total assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows.
Amounts disclosed for Dominion Energy are inclusive of Virginia Power, where applicable. There have been no significant changes from Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the exception of the items described below.

In the first quarter of 2022, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the equity interests in Hope in a stock sale for income tax purposes. Upon meeting the classification as held for 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 reversed upon closing of the sale in August 2022 and became a component of current income tax expense on the sale. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion Energy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information regarding the sale of Hope.
As of March 31, 2023, 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 (benefit) expense reflected in discontinued operations is $(1) million and $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
The Companies’ fair value measurements are made in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 and options, 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.
25
The following table presents the Companies' quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements at March 31, 2023. The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs and percentages for price volatility.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
See Note 10 for information regarding nonrecurring fair value measurements associated with Dominion Energy’s noncontrolling ownership interest in Dominion Privatization.
In the first quarter of 2023, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $91 million ($68 million after-tax) in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income to adjust a corporate office building down to its estimated fair value, using a market approach, of $35 million. The valuation is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement as it is based on unobservable inputs due to limited comparable market activity. The corporate office building is reflected in the Corporate and Other segment and presented as held for sale in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2023.

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:

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, 2022. See Note 8 in this report for additional information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives.
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.

Equity Method Investments
Dominion Energy recorded equity earnings on its investments of $80 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, in earnings from equity method investees in its Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, Dominion Energy recorded equity losses of $1 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, in discontinued operations related to its investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Dominion Energy received distributions of $85 million and $76 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Dominion Energy made contributions of $10 million and $74 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the net difference between the carrying amount of Dominion Energy’s investments and its share of underlying equity in net assets was $217 million and $223 million, respectively. At March 31, 2023, these differences are primarily comprised of $9 million of equity method goodwill that is not being amortized and a $213 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, 2022, these differences are comprised of $9 million of equity method goodwill that is not being amortized, $215 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 $(1) million basis difference primarily attributable to capitalized interest.
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, 2022.
35
Dominion Energy recorded distributions from Cove Point of $83 million and $76 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy has recorded a liability of $100 million and $114 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 $6 million of contributions to Atlantic Coast Pipeline during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Dominion Energy made no contributions to Atlantic Coast Pipeline during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
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
A description of Dominion Energy’s investment in Wrangler (through March 2022) is included in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion Energy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
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 (expense), in its Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Dominion Privatization
Dominion Energy holds a 50% noncontrolling ownership interest in Dominion Privatization 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, 2022.
In March 2022, Dominion Energy completed its initial contribution of privatization operations in South Carolina (excluding contracts held by DESC), Texas and Pennsylvania to Dominion Privatization for 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 was considered a Level 2 fair value measurement given that it was based on the agreed-upon sales price. In the first quarter of 2022, Dominion Energy recorded a gain of $23 million ($16 million after-tax), presented in losses (gains) on sales of assets in its Consolidated Statements of Income.
Note 11. Property, Plant and Equipment
Acquisitions of Nonregulated Solar Projects
Other than the item discussed below, there have been no significant updates to acquisitions of solar projects by the Companies from those discussed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In March 2023, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to acquire the Foxhound solar development project in Virginia (reflected in Contracted Assets) with closing on the agreement expected in . The project is expected to cost approximately $205 million, including the initial acquisition cost, and commence commercial operations in with a generating capacity of 83 MW. Dominion Energy expects to claim production tax credits on the energy generated and sold by the project. Dominion Energy anticipates that an impairment charge may be required upon closing given its expectation that it is more likely that not that the nonregulated solar generation projects within Contracted Assets will be sold before the end of their useful lives as described in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion Energy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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, 2022.

Virginia Regulation - Key Legislation Affecting Operations
Virginia 2023 Legislation
In April 2023, legislation was enacted that amended several key provisions of the Regulation Act, as previously amended by the GTSA, and revised portions of the existing regulatory framework affecting Virginia Power’s operations. See Note 13 to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for additional information on the Regulation Act and GTSA.
The legislation resets the frequency of base rate reviews from a triennial period, as established under the GTSA, to a biennial period commencing with the 2023 Biennial Review. Such biennial reviews shall include the establishment of an authorized ROE to be utilized for base rates and riders, prospective base rates for the upcoming two-year period based on projected cost of service and a determination by the Virginia Commission as to Virginia Power’s base rate earned return for the most recently completed two-year period against the previously authorized ROE, including any potential credits to customers’ bills.
The legislation provides that the Virginia Commission will establish an authorized ROE of 9.70% for Virginia Power in the 2023 Biennial Review, reflecting the average authorized ROE of vertically integrated electric utilities by the applicable regulatory commissions in the peer group jurisdictions of Florida, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina. Subsequent to the 2023 Biennial Review, all provisions related to this peer group benchmarking expire and the Virginia Commission is authorized to utilize any methodology it deems to be consistent with the public interest to make future ROE determinations. In all future biennial reviews, if the Virginia Commission determines that Virginia Power’s existing base rates will, on a going-forward basis, produce revenues that are either in excess of or below its authorized rate of return, the Virginia Commission is authorized to reduce or increase such base rates, as applicable and necessary, to ensure that Virginia Power’s base rates are just and reasonable while still allowing Virginia Power to recover its costs and earn a fair rate of return. In addition, beginning with the biennial review to be filed in 2025, the Virginia Commission may, at its discretion, increase or decrease Virginia Power’s authorized ROE by up to 50 basis points based on factors that may include reliability, generating plant performance, customer service and operating efficiency, with the provisions applying to such adjustments to be determined in a future proceeding.
The legislation directs that if the Virginia Commission determines as part of the 2023 Biennial Review that Virginia Power has earned more than 70 basis points above its authorized ROE of 9.35% established in the 2021 Triennial Review that 85% of the amount of such earnings above this level be credited to customers’ bills. In future biennial reviews, beginning with the biennial review to be filed in 2025, 85% of any earnings determined by the Virginia Commission to be up to 150 basis points above Virginia Power’s authorized ROE shall be credited to customers’ bills as well as 100% of any earnings that are more than 150 basis points above Virginia Power’s authorized ROE. For the purposes of measuring any bill credits due to customers, associated income taxes are factored into the determination of such amounts. In addition, the legislation eliminates Virginia Power’s ability to utilize Virginia Commission-approved investment amounts in qualifying solar or wind generation facilities or electric distribution grid transformation projects as a CCRO to reduce or offset any earnings otherwise eligible for customer credits as previously permitted under the GTSA.
In addition to the biennial review mechanisms discussed above, the legislation also includes provisions related to other aspects of Virginia Power’s ratemaking framework.

Virginia Regulation - Recent Developments
Virginia Fuel Expenses
In May 2023, 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 and a projected $1.3 billion under-recovered balance as of June 30, 2023. The projected under-recovered balance includes $578 million representing the remaining two years of under-recovered balance as of June 30, 2022 being collected over a three-year period in accordance with the Virginia Commission’s approval of Virginia Power’s 2022 annual fuel factor as described in Note 13 to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Virginia Power proposed two alternatives to recover these under-collected fuel costs. The first option reflects recovery of the total $3.3 billion fuel cost requirement over the July 2023 through June 2024 fuel period and results in an increase in Virginia Power’s fuel revenues of $631 million when applied to projected kilowatt-hour sales for the period. The second option proposed by Virginia Power incorporates its anticipated July 2023 application to the Virginia Commission for approval of a financing order to securitize up to the projected $1.3 billion under-recovered balance as of June 30, 2023 as permitted under legislation enacted in Virginia in April 2023. Under this option, Virginia Power proposed implementation of the current period fuel factor rate only effective July 2023 on an interim basis, while suspending implementation of the prior-period fuel factor rate pending the Virginia Commission’s consideration of the securitization petition. If approved by the Virginia Commission, the securitization option results in a net decrease in Virginia Power’s fuel revenues for the rate year of approximately $541 million. In addition, Virginia Power has proposed to alter the order in which revenue from certain customers who elect to pay market-based rates would be allocated between base rates and fuel, which if approved would result in a reduction to fuel revenue of $13 million. This matter is pending.
GTSA Filing
In March 2023, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission for approval of Phase III, covering 2024 through 2026, of its plan for electric distribution grid transformation projects as authorized by the GTSA. The plan includes 14 projects covering six components (i) AMI; (ii) customer information platform; (iii) grid improvement projects; (iv) physical and cyber security; (v) telecommunications infrastructure and (vi) customer education. For Phase III, the total proposed capital investment is $1.1 billion and the proposed operations and maintenance investment is $71 million. This matter is pending.
Renewable Generation Projects
In October 2022, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission for CPCNs to construct and operate eight utility-scale projects totaling approximately 474 MW of solar generation and 16 MW of energy storage as part of its efforts to meet the renewable generation development requirements under the VCEA. The projects, as of October 2022, are expected to cost approximately $1.2 billion in the aggregate, excluding financing costs, and be placed into service between 2024 through 2025. In April 2023, the Virginia Commission approved the petition.

North Carolina Regulation
PSNC Rider D
Rider D allows PSNC to recover from customers all prudently incurred gas costs and the related portion of uncollectible expenses as well as losses on negotiated gas and transportation sales. In February 2023, PSNC submitted a filing with the North Carolina Commission for a $56 million gas cost decrease with rates effective March 2023. The North Carolina Commission approved the filing in March 2023.
PSNC Customer Usage Tracker
PSNC utilizes a customer usage tracker, a decoupling mechanism, which allows it to adjust its base rates semi-annually for residential and commercial customers based on average per customer consumption. In March 2023, PSNC submitted a filing with the North Carolina Commission for a $23 million decrease relating to the customer usage tracker. The North Carolina Commission approved the filing in March 2023 with rates effective April 2023.
South Carolina Regulation
DSM Programs
DESC has approval for a DSM rider through which it recovers expenditures related to its DSM programs. In January 2023, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission seeking approval to recover $46 million of costs and net lost revenues associated with these programs, along with an incentive to invest in such programs. DESC requested that rates be effective with the first billing cycle of May 2023. In April 2023, the South Carolina Commission approved the request, effective with the first billing cycle of May 2023.
Cost of Fuel
DESC's retail electric rates include a cost of fuel component approved by the South Carolina Commission which may be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the price of fuel purchased by DESC. In February 2023, DESC filed with the South Carolina Commission a proposal to increase the total fuel cost component of retail electric rates. DESC's proposed adjustment is designed to recover DESC's current base fuel costs, including its existing under-collected balance, over the 12-month period beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2023, along with a requested decrease to DESC's variable environmental and avoided capacity cost component. The net effect of the proposal is an annual increase of $176 million. In March 2023, DESC, the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff and another party of record filed a stipulation with the South Carolina Commission for approval to reduce the base fuel cost component reflecting a subsequent decrease in current fuel prices, resulting in a net annual increase of $121 million. In April 2023, the South Carolina Commission voted to approve the stipulation, with rates effective May 2023.
Electric Transmission Project
In March 2023, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission requesting approval to construct and operate 19 miles of 230 kV transmission lines, a substation and associated facilities in Jasper County, South Carolina estimated to cost approximately $55 million. This matter is pending.
41
Electric - Other
DESC utilizes a pension costs rider approved by the South Carolina Commission which is designed to allow recovery of projected pension costs, including under-collected balances or net of over-collected balances, as applicable. The rider is typically reviewed for adjustment every 12 months with any resulting increase or decrease going into effect beginning with the first billing cycle in May. In February 2023, DESC requested that the South Carolina Commission approve an adjustment to this rider to increase annual revenue by $24 million. In April 2023, the South Carolina Commission approved the request.
Natural Gas Base Rate Case
In March 2023, DESC filed its natural gas base rate case and schedules with the South Carolina Commission. DESC proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $19 million effective October 2023. The base rate increase was proposed to recover significant investment in distribution infrastructure for the benefit of customers. The proposed rates would provide for an ROE of 10.38% compared to the currently authorized ROE of 10.25%. In addition, DESC elected to continue applicability of the Natural Gas Rate Stabilization Act, which allows for the adjustment of natural gas base rates annually, to its future rates and charges. This matter is pending.
Ohio Regulation
PIR Program
In 2008, East Ohio began PIR, aimed at replacing approximately 25% of its pipeline system. The Ohio Commission has approved East Ohio’s PIR program for capital investments through 2026 with 3% increases of annual capital expenditures per year.
In February 2023, East Ohio filed an application with the Ohio Commission requesting approval to adjust the PIR recovery. The filing reflects gross plant investment for 2022 of $225 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $2.4 billion and a revenue requirement of $305 million. In April 2023, the Ohio Commission approved the request.
CEP Program
In 2011, East Ohio began CEP which enables East Ohio to defer depreciation expense, property tax expense and carrying costs at the debt rate of 6.5% on capital investments not covered by its PIR program to expand, upgrade or replace its infrastructure and information technology systems as well as investments necessary to comply with the Ohio Commission or other government regulations. 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 March 2023, East Ohio filed an application with the Ohio Commission requesting approval to adjust CEP cost recovery rates for 2022 costs. The filing reflects gross plant investment for 2022 of $195 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $1.3 billion and a revenue requirement of $151 million. This matter is pending.
Utah Regulation
Purchased Gas
In February 2023, Questar Gas filed an application with the Utah Commission seeking approval for a $92 million gas cost increase with rates effective March 2023. Subsequently in February 2023, the Utah Commission approved a $164 million gas cost increase reflecting additional undercollected gas costs incurred in January 2023.

43
long-term debt. In February and March 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $500 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes and to repay long-term debt. The maximum allowed total debt to total capital ratio under the facility is consistent with such allowed ratio under Dominion Energy’s joint revolving credit facility.
Virginia Power
Virginia Power’s short-term financing is supported through its access as co-borrower to Dominion Energy’s $6.0 billion joint revolving credit facility. The credit facility can be used for working capital, as support for the combined commercial paper programs of the borrowers under the credit facility and for other general corporate purposes.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies
As a result of issues generated in the ordinary course of business, the Companies are involved in legal proceedings before various courts and are periodically subject to governmental examinations (including by regulatory authorities), inquiries and investigations. Certain legal proceedings and governmental examinations involve demands for unspecified amounts of damages, are in an initial procedural phase, involve uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, or involve significant factual issues that need to be resolved, such that it is not possible for the Companies to estimate a range of possible loss. For such matters that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the litigation or investigative processes such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For legal proceedings and governmental examinations that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. 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.
45
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 standards 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. In March 2023, the EPA issued a final rule specifying an interstate federal implementation plan to comply with certain aspects of planning for the 2015 ozone standards which will be applicable 60 days after publication in the Federal Register for certain states, including Virginia. The interstate federal implementation plan imposes tighter NOX emissions limits during the ozone season and includes provisions for the use of allowances to cover such emissions. Until implementation plans for the 2015 ozone standards are fully 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, financial condition and/or 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. In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the D.C. Circuit’s decision on the ACE Rule and remanded the case back to the D.C. Circuit. Until the case is resolved by the D.C. Circuit and/or the EPA issues new rulemaking, the Companies cannot predict an impact to its 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 steam conditions for large units and subcritical steam conditions for small units) in combination with best operating practices. 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
46
regulators are to make case-by-case entrainment technology determinations after an examination of five mandatory facility-specific factors, including a social cost-benefit test, and six optional facility-specific factors. The rule governs all electric generating stations with water withdrawals above two MGD, with a heightened entrainment analysis for those facilities over 125 MGD. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power currently have 15 and nine facilities, respectively, that are subject to the final regulations. Dominion Energy is also working with the EPA and state regulatory agencies to assess the applicability of Section 316(b) to eight hydroelectric facilities, including three Virginia Power facilities. The Companies anticipate that they may have to install impingement control technologies at certain of these stations that have once-through cooling systems. The Companies are currently evaluating the need or potential for entrainment controls under the final rule as these decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis after a thorough review of detailed biological, technological, and cost benefit studies. DESC is conducting studies and implementing plans as required by the rule to determine appropriate intake structure modifications at certain facilities to ensure compliance with this rule. While the impacts of this rule could be material to the Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities.
Effluent Limitations Guidelines
In September 2015, the EPA released a final rule to revise the Effluent Limitations Guidelines for the Steam Electric Power Generating Category. The final rule established updated standards for wastewater discharges that apply primarily at coal and oil steam generating stations. Affected facilities are required to convert from wet to dry or closed cycle coal ash management, improve existing wastewater treatment systems and/or install new wastewater treatment technologies in order to meet the new discharge limits. In April 2017, the EPA granted two separate petitions for reconsideration of the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule and stayed future compliance dates in the rule. Also in April 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted the EPA’s request for a stay of the pending consolidated litigation challenging the rule while the EPA addresses the petitions for reconsideration. In September 2017, the EPA signed a rule to postpone the earliest compliance dates for certain waste streams regulations in the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule from November 2018 to November 2020; however, the latest date for compliance for these regulations was December 2023. In October 2020, the EPA released the final rule that extends the latest dates for compliance. Individual facilities’ compliance dates will vary based on circumstances and the determination by state regulators and may range from 2021 to 2028. While the impacts of this rule could be material to the Companies’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities.
Waste Management and Remediation
The operations of the Companies are subject to a variety of state and federal laws and regulations governing the management and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and release of hazardous substances associated with current and/or historical operations. The CERCLA, as amended, and similar state laws, may impose joint, several and strict liability for cleanup on potentially responsible parties who owned, operated or arranged for disposal at facilities affected by a release of hazardous substances. In addition, many states have created programs to incentivize voluntary remediation of sites where historical releases of hazardous substances are identified and property owners or responsible parties decide to initiate cleanups.
From time to time, the Companies may be identified as a potentially responsible party in connection with the alleged release of hazardous substances or wastes at a site. Under applicable federal and state laws, the Companies could be responsible for costs associated with the investigation or remediation of impacted sites, or subject to contribution claims by other responsible parties for their costs incurred at such sites. The Companies also may identify, evaluate and remediate other potentially impacted sites under voluntary state programs. Remediation costs may be subject to reimbursement under the Companies’ insurance policies, rate recovery mechanisms, or both. Except as described below, the Companies do not believe these matters will have a material effect on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Dominion Energy has determined that it is associated with former manufactured gas plant sites, including certain sites associated with Virginia Power. At 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 commenced remediation activities at one site in the second quarter of 2022. In addition, Dominion Energy has proposed remediation plans for one site at Virginia Power and expects to commence remediation activities in 2023 depending on receipt of final permits and approvals. At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had $47 million and Virginia Power had $25 million 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.
47
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, 2022. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022 include reserves of $88 million and $94 million, respectively, included in other current liabilities, and insurance receivables of $72 million and $68 million, respectively, included within other receivables. These balances at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 include $72 million and $68 million, respectively, of offsetting reserves and insurance receivables related to personal injury or wrongful death cases which are currently pending. During both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no charges were included in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
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. In June 2022, DESC requested approval from the South Carolina Commission to transfer certain real estate with a total settlement value of $51 million to satisfy its remaining obligation under the settlement agreement. In July 2022, the South Carolina Commission voted to approve the request and issued its final order in August 2022. In September 2022, DESC transferred certain non-utility property with a fair value of $28 million to the SCDOR under the settlement agreement. In December 2022, DESC transferred additional utility property with a fair value of $3 million to the SCDOR. In October 2022, DESC filed for approval to transfer the remaining real estate with FERC which was received in November 2022. In March 2023, DESC transferred utility property with a fair value of $10 million to the SCDOR resulting in a gain of $9 million ($7 million after-tax), recorded in losses (gains) on sales of assets in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The remaining utility property transfer is expected to be completed by early 2024 and result in a gain of approximately $10 million upon completion.
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, 2022.
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, 2022, 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, 2023, 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.
48
In addition, at March 31, 2023, 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, 2023, Dominion Energy had issued the following subsidiary guarantees:

Additionally, at March 31, 2023, Dominion Energy had purchased $268 million of surety bonds, including $190 million at Virginia Power, and authorized the issuance of letters of credit by financial institutions of $154 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, 2022.
At March 31, 2023, Dominion Energy’s credit exposure totaled $217 million, primarily related to price risk management activities. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 89%. No single counterparty, whether investment grade or non-investment grade, exceeded $48 million of exposure. At March 31, 2023, Virginia Power’s exposure related to wholesale customers totaled $34 million. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 54%. No single counterparty, whether investment grade or non-investment grade, exceeded $13 million of exposure.
49
Credit-Related Contingent Provisions
Certain of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power's derivative instruments contain credit-related contingent provisions. These provisions require Dominion Energy and Virginia Power 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, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power would have been required to post additional collateral to its counterparties of $106 million and $45 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023, and $140 million and $28 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. 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 collateral of $1 million at March 31, 2023, and both Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had posted $72 million at December 31, 2022, related to derivatives with credit-related contingent provisions that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash. Virginia Power had such collateral posted at March 31, 2023. In addition, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had both posted letters of credit as collateral with counterparties covering $6 million and $20 million of fair value of derivative instruments in a liability position at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. 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 for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power was $107 million and $45 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023 and $212 million and $99 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022, 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
Dominion Energy’s transactions with equity method investments are described in Note 10. 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. A discussion of Virginia Power's significant related-party transactions follows.
Virginia Power transacts with affiliates for certain quantities of natural gas and other commodities in the ordinary course of business. Virginia Power also enters into certain commodity derivative contracts with affiliates. Virginia Power uses these contracts, which are principally comprised of forward commodity purchases, to manage commodity price risks associated with purchases of natural gas. At March 31, 2023, Virginia Power’s derivative assets and liabilities with affiliates were $5 million and $82 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, Virginia Power’s derivative assets and liabilities with affiliates were $33 million and $31 million, respectively. See Note 9 for additional information.
Virginia Power participates in certain Dominion Energy benefit plans described in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, amounts due to Dominion Energy associated with the Dominion Energy Pension Plan and included in other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $431 million and $422 million, respectively. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Virginia Power's amounts due from Dominion Energy associated with the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan and included in other deferred charges and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $534 million and $518 million, respectively.
DES and other affiliates provide accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services and licenses to Virginia Power. In addition, Virginia Power provides certain services to affiliates, including charges for facilities and equipment usage.
The financial statements for all years presented include costs for certain general, administrative and corporate expenses assigned by DES to Virginia Power on the basis of direct and allocated methods in accordance with Virginia Power’s services agreements with DES. Where costs incurred cannot be determined by specific identification, the costs are allocated based on the proportional level of effort devoted by DES resources that is attributable to the entity, determined by reference to number of employees, salaries and wages and other similar measures for the relevant DES service. Management believes the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocation of general corporate overhead expenses are reasonable.
Presented below are Virginia Power’s significant transactions with DES and other affiliates:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MD&A discusses Dominion Energy’s results of operations and general financial condition and Virginia Power’s results of operations. MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Companies’ Consolidated Financial Statements. Virginia Power meets the conditions to file under the reduced disclosure format, and therefore has omitted certain sections of MD&A.
Contents of MD&A
MD&A consists of the following information:
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains statements concerning the Companies’ expectations, plans, objectives, future financial performance and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In most cases, the reader can identify these forward-looking statements by such words as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “expect,” “believe,” “should,” “could,” “plan,” “may,” “continue,” “target” or other similar words.
The Companies make forward-looking statements with full knowledge that risks and uncertainties exist that may cause actual results to differ materially from predicted results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ are often presented with the forward-looking statements themselves. Additionally, other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement. These factors include but are not limited to:
55
56
Additionally, other risks that could cause actual results to differ from predicted results are set forth in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Companies’ forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. The Companies caution the reader not to place undue reliance on their forward-looking statements because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may, and often do, differ materially from actual results. The Companies undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made.
Accounting Matters
As of March 31, 2023, there have been no significant changes with regard to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The policies disclosed included the accounting for regulated operations, AROs, income taxes, accounting for derivative contracts and financial instruments at fair value, use of estimates in goodwill impairment testing, use of estimates in long-lived asset and equity method investment impairment testing, held for sale classification and employee benefit plans.

Overview
First Quarter 2023 vs. 2022
Net income attributable to Dominion Energy increased 40%, primarily due to an increase in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds, increased unrealized gains on economic hedging activities, a decrease in storm damage and service restoration costs and the absence of 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, partially offset by a charge associated with the impairment of a corporate office building and a decrease in sales to electric utility customers attributable to weather.

An analysis of Dominion Energy’s results of operations follows:
First Quarter 2023 vs. 2022
Operating revenue increased 23%, primarily reflecting:
These increases were partially offset by:
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 51%, primarily due to higher commodity costs for electric utilities ($316 million) and an increase in the use of purchased renewable energy credits at Virginia Power ($28 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.
Purchased gas increased 18%, primarily due to an increase in commodity costs for gas utilities ($164 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, partially offset by a decrease from the sale of Hope ($25 million).
Other operations and maintenance decreased 13%, primarily due to a decrease in storm damage and restoration costs in Virginia Power’s service territory ($104 million) and a decrease in certain Virginia Power expenditures which are primarily recovered through
58
state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income ($71 million), partially offset by an increase in outside services ($19 million).
Impairment of assets and other charges increased $108 million, primarily due to the impairment of a corporate office building.
Gains on sales of assets decreased 96%, primarily due to the absence of a gain on the contribution of certain privatization operations to Dominion Privatization.
Other income increased $238 million, primarily due to net investment gains in 2023 compared to net investment losses in 2022 on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
Interest and related charges increased $412 million, primarily due to unrealized losses in 2023 compared to unrealized gains in 2022 associated with freestanding derivatives ($278 million), higher interest rates on commercial paper and long-term debt ($47 million), higher interest rates on variable rate debt and cash flow interest rate swaps ($46 million) and increased commercial paper and long-term debt borrowings ($45 million).
Income tax expense decreased 6%, primarily due to the absence of 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 ($87 million), partially offset by higher pre-tax income ($83 million).
Net income from discontinued operations including noncontrolling interests decreased $24 million, primarily due to the absence of a gain associated with the Q-Pipe Group for the finalization of the working capital adjustment in the first quarter of 2022.

An analysis of Virginia Power’s results of operations follows:
First Quarter 2023 vs. 2022
Operating revenue increased 10%, primarily reflecting:
These increases were partially offset by:
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 55%, primarily due to higher commodity costs for electric utilities ($249 million) and an increase in the use of purchased renewable energy credits ($28 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.
Other operations and maintenance decreased 23%, primarily due to a decrease in storm damage and restoration costs ($104 million) and a decrease in certain expenditures which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income ($71 million), partially offset by an increase in outside services ($16 million).
Other income increased $32 million, primarily due to net investment gains in 2023 compared to net investment losses in 2022 on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
Interest and related charges increased 22%, primarily due to increased commercial paper, long-term debt and intercompany borrowings with Dominion Energy ($33 million) and higher interest rates on commercial paper, long-term debt and intercompany borrowings with Dominion Energy ($11 million), partially offset by decreased interest expense associated with rider deferrals ($12 million).
Income tax expense increased 62%, primarily due to lower investment tax credits ($27 million) and higher pre-tax income ($10 million).

Corporate and Other includes specific items attributable to Dominion Energy’s primary operating segments that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segments' performance or in allocating resources. See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for discussion of these items in more detail. Corporate and Other also includes items attributable to the Corporate and Other segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, this primarily included a $68 million after-tax charge associated with the impairment of a corporate office building and a $45 million after-tax loss for derivative mark-to-market changes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, this primarily included a $87 million charge to reflect the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of Hope’s stock upon meeting the classification as held for sale, a $52 million after-tax benefit for derivative mark-to-market changes and $19 million net income from discontinued operations, primarily associated with the Q-Pipe Group.
Outlook
As of March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to Dominion Energy’s 2023 outlook as described in Item 7. MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. As discussed in Future Issues and Other Matters, legislation enacted in Virginia in April 2023 is expected to decrease Dominion Energy’s 2023 net income for riders to be combined into base rates effective July 2023.
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, 2022.

Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by Dominion Energy's operating activities increased $972 million, primarily due to higher deferred fuel and purchased gas cost recoveries ($345 million), lower margin deposits ($338 million), a decrease in refund payments to Virginia electric customers associated with the settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review ($179 million) and an increase of $307 million primarily as a result of higher operating cash flows from electric utility and gas distribution operations driven by riders, customer usage and other factors, partially offset by changes in working capital ($197 million).
Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s investing activities increased $728 million, primarily due to an increase in plant construction and other property additions ($598 million) and the absence of proceeds from the sale of assets and equity method investments in 2022 ($146 million).
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash provided by Dominion Energy's financing activities increased $1.2 billion primarily due to 364-day term loan facility borrowings ($2.5 billion) and supplemental credit facility borrowings ($450 million), partially offset by a $1.7 billion decrease due to net repayments of long-term debt in 2023 versus net issuances in 2022.
Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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, 2023.
Joint Revolving Credit Facility
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, 2023, Dominion Energy had $2.7 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.
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, 2023, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $389 million with respect to such notes presented within short-term debt. The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.
Other Facilities
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.
In January 2023, Dominion Energy entered into a $2.5 billion 364-day term loan facility which bears interest at a variable rate and will mature in January 2024 with the proceeds to be used to repay existing long-term debt and short-term debt upon maturity and for other
64
general corporate purposes. Concurrently, Dominion Energy borrowed an initial $1.0 billion with the proceeds used to repay long-term debt. In February and March 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $500 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes and to repay long-term debt.
Long-Term Debt
Sustainability Revolving Credit Agreement
Dominion Energy maintains a $900 million Sustainability Revolving Credit Agreement which matures in 2024 and bears interest at a variable rate. The facility offers a reduced interest rate margin with respect to borrowed amounts allocated to certain environmental sustainability or social investment initiatives. In March 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $450 million with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2023, Dominion Energy had $900 million outstanding under this supplemental credit facility, including $450 million borrowed to support environmental sustainability and social investment initiatives. In April 2023, Dominion Energy repaid $450 million borrowed for general corporate purposes.
Issuances and Borrowings of Long-Term Debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Dominion Energy issued or borrowed the following long-term debt. Unless otherwise noted, the proceeds were used for the repayment of existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

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.
As the comprehensive business review announced in November 2022 is still in progress, Dominion Energy is uncertain as to the amount of long-term debt it anticipates issuing in 2023. Dominion Energy expects to issue long-term debt to satisfy cash needs for capital expenditures and maturing long-term debt to the extent such amounts are not satisfied from cash available from operations following the payment of dividends and any borrowings made from unused capacity of Dominion Energy’s credit facilities discussed above. The raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory requirements, including registration with the SEC for certain issuances.
Repayments, 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 during the three months ended March 31, 2023:

See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information regarding scheduled maturities of Dominion Energy’s long-term debt, including related average interest rates.
65
Remarketing of Long-Term Debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Dominion Energy was not required to and did not complete the remarketing of any of its long-term debt. In 2023, Dominion Energy expects to remarket approximately $160 million of its tax-exempt bonds.
Credit Ratings
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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, 2023, there have been no changes in Dominion Energy’s credit ratings. In April 2023, Standard & Poor’s affirmed its credit ratings but revised its outlook for Dominion Energy from stable to negative. Dominion Energy cannot predict the potential impact the negative outlook at Standard & Poor’s could have on 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.
Financial Covenants
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy is subject to various covenants present in the enabling agreements underlying Dominion Energy’s debt. As of March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to covenants, nor any events of default under Dominion Energy’s covenants.
Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Other Equity Securities
In the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, there is a discussion of Dominion Energy’s existing equity financing programs, including an at-the-market program and Dominion Energy Direct®. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Dominion Energy issued $43 million of stock through these programs. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information.
As the comprehensive business review announced in November 2022 is still in progress, Dominion Energy is uncertain as to the amount of common stock that it anticipates issuing in 2023, including through its at-the-market program. However, Dominion Energy anticipates raising similar amounts of capital through Dominion Energy Direct® in 2023 compared to 2022 and 2021. The raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory requirements, including registration with the SEC for certain issuances.
As of March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to the Board of Directors authorization to repurchase Dominion Energy stock, or the remaining available capacity under this authorization, disclosed in the Repurchases of Equity Securities section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Dominion Energy has not repurchased through March 31 and does not plan to repurchase in the remainder of 2023 any shares of its common stock, except for shares tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock.
Capital Expenditures
As of March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to Dominion Energy’s expectation for planned capital expenditures as disclosed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Dividends
Dominion Energy believes that its operations provide a stable source of cash flow to contribute to planned levels of capital expenditures and maintain or grow the dividend on common shares. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information regarding Dominion Energy’s outstanding preferred stock and associated dividend rates.
Subsidiary Dividend Restrictions
As of March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to the subsidiary dividend restrictions disclosed in the Dividends section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
66
Collateral and Credit Risk
As of March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to the collateral requirements disclosed in the Collateral and Credit Risk section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Dominion Energy’s exposure to potential concentrations of credit risk results primarily from its energy marketing and price risk management activities. Presented below is a summary of Dominion Energy’s credit exposure at March 31, 2023 for these activities. Gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- or off-balance sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights.

Future Issues and Other Matters
See Item 1. Business, Future Issues and Other Matters in MD&A and Notes 13 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Notes 13 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information on various environmental, regulatory, legal and other matters that may impact future results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
67
Business Review
In November 2022, Dominion Energy announced the commencement of a business review of value-maximizing strategic business actions, alternatives to its current business mix and capital allocation and regulatory options which may assist customers to manage costs and provide greater predictability to its long-term, state-regulated utility value proposition. In April 2023, the legislative process in Virginia was substantially completed resulting in new legislation which will shift $350 million of annual revenue requirement for costs currently recovered through riders into base rates effective July 2023, eliminate the ability of Virginia Power to utilize CCROs and adjust the parameters for determining an authorized ROE and revenue sharing. In addition, new legislation allows Virginia Power to apply for the securitization of certain deferred fuel costs as well as seek approval for a noncontrolling equity financing partner for the CVOW Commercial Project. As part of the on-going business review, Dominion Energy may consider divestiture of all or a portion of certain operations. While the ultimate impacts cannot be estimated until the review is completed, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2023, implementation of recommendations resulting from the business review could have a material impact on Dominion Energy's future results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Virginia Legislation
The 2023 General Assembly session in Virginia included several proposals, including those ultimately enacted into law, related to Virginia Power’s retail base rates and other cost recovery mechanisms. In April 2023, legislation was enacted that amended several key provisions of the Regulation Act, as previously amended by the GTSA. The new legislation will shift $350 million of annual revenue requirement for costs currently recovered under riders into base rates effective July 2023, eliminate the ability of Virginia Power to utilize CCROs and adjust the parameters for determining an authorized ROE and revenue sharing. In addition, this legislation reestablishes biennial base rate reviews, sets a target capitalization ratio and permits Virginia Power to apply for the securitization of certain deferred fuel costs. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. In March 2023, legislation was enacted that permits Virginia Power to seek approval for a noncontrolling equity financing partner for the CVOW Commercial Project. In addition, proposed legislation to amend certain portions of the VCEA remains pending, subject to potential veto by the Governor of Virginia, which would qualify generation produced by Virginia Power’s biomass electric generating stations as renewable energy and would eliminate the mandated retirement by the end of 2028 of such facilities. While Dominion Energy is unable to estimate the ultimate financial statement impacts related to the newly enacted, and remaining proposed legislation, it expects there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Future Environmental Regulations
In March 2023, the EPA released a proposed rule to further revise the Effluent Limitations Guidelines for the Steam Electric Power Generating Category, which apply primarily to wastewater discharges at coal and oil steam generating stations. Also in March 2023, the EPA released its first proposed rule to establish national drinking water standards for PFAS. Dominion Energy anticipates that the EPA will release additional rulemakings as part of an overall strategy to identify and mitigate PFAS exposure. Additionally, in April 2023, the EPA released a proposal to tighten aspects of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, including the reduction of emissions limits for filterable particulate matter, and requiring the use of continuous emissions monitoring systems to demonstrate compliance. Until the EPA ultimately takes final action on these rulemakings, Dominion Energy is 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 Dominion Energy’s financial condition and cash flows.
Federal Income Tax Laws
In April 2023, the IRS issued safe harbor guidance to taxpayers on the treatment of amounts paid to repair, maintain, replace, or improve natural gas distribution property, including whether expenditures should be deducted as repairs or capitalized and depreciated on tax returns. The guidance includes safe harbor tax accounting methods which a taxpayer may choose to elect and provides special transition rules and incentives that vary depending on which tax year is the year of change. Dominion Energy is evaluating this new guidance and cannot currently estimate the potential financial statement impacts, but there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

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, foreign currency exchange rates and equity securities 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 associated with the CVOW Commercial Project which it manages through foreign currency exchange rate derivatives. 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.
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, interest rates or foreign currency exchange 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 $88 million and $52 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $50 million and $25 million in the fair value of Virginia Power’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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. For variable rate debt outstanding for Dominion Energy, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would result in a $58 million and $37 million decrease in earnings at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For variable rate debt outstanding for Virginia Power, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would result in a $11 million and $14 million decrease in earnings at March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022, respectively.
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, 2023, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $12.3 billion and $2.9 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 $268 million and $120 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $12.7 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding. A
69
hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $274 million and $156 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2022.
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.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Companies utilize foreign currency swaps to economically hedge the foreign currency exchange risk associated with fixed price contracts related to the CVOW Commercial Project denominated in foreign currencies. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had €2.8 billion and €2.9 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these foreign currency forward purchase agreements outstanding. A hypothetical 10% increase in exchange rates would have resulted in a decrease of $277 million and $284 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s foreign currency swaps at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The impact of a change in exchange rates on the Companies’ foreign currency-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 foreign exchange derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction.
Investment Price Risk
The Companies are subject to investment price risk due to securities held as investments in nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust funds that are managed by third-party investment managers. These trust funds primarily hold marketable securities that are reported in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.
Dominion Energy recognized net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $252 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and net investment losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $197 million and $888 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022, 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 increase in unrealized gains on debt investments of $56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $134 million and $196 million for three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.
Virginia Power recognized net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $123 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and net investment losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $89 million and $426 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022, 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 increase in unrealized gains on debt investments of $35 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $68 million and $106 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022, 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.

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:
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Companies’ businesses are influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and are often beyond the Companies’ control. A number of these risk factors have been identified in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which should be taken into consideration when reviewing the information contained in this report. There have been no material changes with regard to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement or projection contained in this report, see Forward-Looking Statements in MD&A in this report.
