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, 2023.

 

In March 2023, Dominion Energy entered into an agreement to acquire the Foxhound solar development project in Virginia (reflected in Contracted Energy) which closed in February 2024, and commenced commercial operations in April 2024. Dominion Energy will claim production tax credits on the energy generated and sold by the project.

Acquisition of Offshore Wind Project

In July 2024, Virginia Power entered into an agreement to acquire an approximately 40,000-acre area lease 27 miles off the coast of North Carolina in federal waters and associated project assets in the early stages of development for approximately $160 million. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2024 contingent upon receipt of approval from BOEM and other customary regulatory approvals. The CVOW South project, if constructed, is expected to have a generating capacity of 800 MW with ultimate development of the project dependent upon the receipt of approvals from the Virginia Commission and other permitting entities. The project would support Virginia Power’s ability to meet the renewable energy portfolio standards established in the VCEA.

Sales of Corporate Office Buildings

In the second quarter of 2024, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $17 million ($12 million after-tax) in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income to adjust a corporate office building down to its estimated fair value, using a

market approach, of $23 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, which had previously been under an agreement to be sold as discussed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, is reflected in the Corporate and Other segment and presented as held for sale in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

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 both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Dominion Energy completed the sale in July 2024.

Nonregulated Renewable Natural Gas Facilities

In the second quarter of 2024, Dominion Energy recorded an impairment charge of $33 million ($25 million after-tax) in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income to write down the long-lived assets of certain nonregulated renewable natural gas facilities under development to their estimated fair value of less than $1 million. The fair value was estimated using an income approach. The valuation is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant judgmental and unobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risks inherent in future cash flows and market prices.
