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, following completion of the GT&S Transaction in November 2020, a noncontrolling interest in Cove Point. See Note 3 for a description of the sale of substantially all of Dominion Energy’s gas transmission and storage operations to BHE through the GT&S Transaction completed in November 2020 and the proposed Q-Pipe Transaction of Dominion Energy’s remaining regulated gas transmission and storage services in the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S.
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, 2020.
In the Companies’ opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly their financial position at March 31, 2021 and their results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature unless otherwise noted.
The Companies make certain estimates and assumptions in preparing their Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The Companies’ accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, their accounts, those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly-owned entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. For certain partnership structures, income is allocated based on the liquidation value of the underlying contractual arrangements. At March 31, 2021, Dominion Energy owns
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’ 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 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, 2020, with the exception of the items described below.

The operations included in both the GT&S Transaction and the Q-Pipe Transaction are presented in held-for-sale and discontinued operations effective July 2020. As a result, the previously reported amounts have been recast to reflect this presentation and depreciation and amortization ceased on the applicable assets.

See Note 10 for further information regarding Dominion Energy’s equity method investment in Cove Point.

The table below discloses the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to fixed-price performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period and when the Companies expect to recognize this revenue. These revenues relate to contracts containing fixed prices where the Companies will earn the associated revenue over time as they stand ready to perform services provided. This disclosure does not include revenue related to performance obligations that are part of a contract with original durations of one year or less. In addition, this disclosure does not include expected consideration related to performance obligations for which the Companies elect to recognize revenue in the amount they have a right to invoice.

The 2019 Equity Units and the Q-Pipe Transaction deposit are potentially dilutive securities. See Note 3 in this report and Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for more information. The forward stock purchase contracts included within the 2019 Equity Units were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. The Series A Preferred Stock included within the 2019 Equity Units is excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations based upon the expectation that the conversion will be settled in cash rather than through the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, a fair value adjustment related to the Series A Preferred Stock included within the 2019 Equity Units is excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations, as such fair value adjustment was not dilutive during the period. As a result of a net loss attributable to Dominion Energy from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, any adjustments to earnings or shares would be considered antidilutive and are therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations. The impact of settling the deposit associated with the Q-Pipe Transaction in shares is excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 based upon the expectation Dominion Energy would settle in cash rather than through the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
The Companies’ fair value measurements are made in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note 9 in this report for further information about the Companies’ derivatives and hedge accounting activities.

The Companies enter into certain physical and financial forwards, futures, options and swaps, which are considered Level 3 as they have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation. The discounted cash flow method is used to value Level 3 physical and financial forwards, futures and swaps contracts. The discounted cash flow model for forwards, futures and swaps calculates mark-to-market valuations based on forward market prices, original transaction prices, volumes, risk-free rate of return and credit spreads. For Level 3 fair value measurements, certain forward market prices are considered unobservable.
The following table presents Dominion Energy’s quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements at March 31, 2021. The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs.

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.

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, 2020. See Note 8 in this report for further information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives.
Derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross on the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Companies’ derivative contracts include both over-the-counter transactions and those that are executed on an exchange or other trading platform (exchange contracts) and centrally cleared. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a third party. Exchange contracts utilize a financial intermediary, exchange, or clearinghouse to enter, execute or clear the transactions. Certain over-the-counter and exchange contracts contain contractual rights of setoff through master netting arrangements, derivative clearing
34
agreements and contract default provisions. In addition, the contracts are subject to conditional rights of setoff through counterparty nonperformance, insolvency or other conditions.
In general, most over-the-counter transactions and all exchange contracts are subject to collateral requirements. Types of collateral for over-the-counter and exchange contracts include cash, letters of credit, and in some cases other forms of securities, none of which are subject to restrictions. Cash collateral, as presented in the table below, is used to offset derivative assets and liabilities. 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 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 further information regarding credit-related contingent features for the Companies’ derivative instruments.

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, 2020.
Virginia Regulation
2021 Triennial Review
In March 2021, Virginia Power filed its base rate case and accompanying schedules in support of the 2021 Triennial Review. In its filing, Virginia Power did not request an increase in base rates for generation and distribution services and proposed that base rates remain at their existing level. Virginia Power’s earnings test analysis, as filed, demonstrates it earned a combined ROE of
In the third and fourth quarters of 2020, Virginia Power recorded a net charge of $
Utility Disconnection Moratorium Legislation
In November 2020, legislation was enacted in Virginia relating to the moratorium on utility disconnections during the COVID-19 pandemic and resulted in Virginia Power forgiving Virginia jurisdictional retail electric customer balances that were more than 30 days past due as of September 30, 2020. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $
51
million after-tax) in impairment of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income for Virginia jurisdictional retail electric customer balances that were more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2020 that Virginia Power is required to forgive. These forgiven customer balances are factored into Virginia Power’s 2021 Triennial Review as discussed above.

Note 16. Significant Financing Transactions
Credit Facilities and Short-term Debt
The Companies use short-term debt to fund working capital requirements and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the year, depending upon the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. In addition, Dominion Energy utilizes cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements. Collateral requirements are impacted by commodity prices, hedging levels, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings and the credit quality of its counterparties.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies
As a result of issues generated in the ordinary course of business, the Companies are involved in legal proceedings before various courts and are periodically subject to governmental examinations (including by regulatory authorities), inquiries and investigations. Certain legal proceedings and governmental examinations involve demands for unspecified amounts of damages, are in an initial procedural phase, involve uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, or involve significant factual issues that need to be resolved, such that it is not possible for the Companies to estimate a range of possible loss. For such matters that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the litigation or investigative processes such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For legal proceedings and governmental examinations that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any accrued liability is recorded on a gross basis with a receivable also recorded for any probable insurance recoveries. Estimated ranges of loss are inclusive of legal fees and net of any anticipated insurance recoveries. Any estimated range is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such legal proceedings and governmental examinations will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current proceedings not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
Environmental Matters
The Companies are subject to costs resulting from a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. These laws and regulations affect future planning and existing operations. They can result in increased capital, operating and other costs as a result of compliance, remediation, containment and monitoring obligations.
Air
The CAA, as amended, is a comprehensive program utilizing a broad range of regulatory tools to protect and preserve the nation's air quality. At a minimum, states are required to establish regulatory programs to meet applicable requirements of the CAA. However, states may choose to develop regulatory programs that are more restrictive. Many of the Companies’ facilities are subject to the CAA’s permitting and other requirements.
Ozone Standards
The EPA published final non-attainment designations for the October 2015 ozone standard in June 2018. States have until August 2021 to develop plans to address the new standard. Until the states have developed implementation plans for the standard, the Companies are unable to predict whether or to what extent the new rules will ultimately require additional controls. The expenditures required to implement additional controls could have a material impact on the Companies’ results of operations and cash flows.
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. While the EPA has stated its intention to replace the ACE Rule, it is unknown at this time if or how the EPA will issue a replacement for the ACE Rule and how that replacement will affect the Companies’ operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
56
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
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. In January 2021, the EPA published a final rule affirming that fossil fuel-fired electric generating units meet the requirement that a source category “significantly contribute” to endangering air pollution for the purposes of regulating GHG emissions from new, modified and reconstructed stationary sources. The January 2021 rule also established a threshold for the “significant contribution” threshold that would have meant that no other source category, such as oil and gas facilities, petroleum refineries, and boilers, would meet that requirement at this time. In April 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted an unopposed motion by the EPA to vacate and remand the January 2021 rule. The proposed revision to the performance standards for coal-fired steam generating units remains pending. Until the EPA ultimately takes final action on this rulemaking, the Companies cannot predict the impact to their results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Water
The CWA, as amended, is a comprehensive program requiring a broad range of regulatory tools including a permit program to authorize and regulate discharges to surface waters with strong enforcement mechanisms. The Companies must comply with applicable aspects of the CWA programs at their operating facilities.
Regulation 316(b)
In October 2014, the final regulations under Section 316(b) of the CWA that govern existing facilities and new units at existing facilities that employ a cooling water intake structure and that have flow levels exceeding a minimum threshold became effective. The rule establishes a national standard for impingement based on seven compliance options, but forgoes the creation of a single technology standard for entrainment. Instead, the EPA has delegated entrainment technology decisions to state regulators. State regulators are to make case-by-case entrainment technology determinations after an examination of
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
57
compliance dates will vary based on circumstances and the determination by state regulators and may range from
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
Other Legal Matters
The Companies are defendants in a number of lawsuits and claims involving unrelated incidents of property damage and personal injury. Due to the uncertainty surrounding these matters, the Companies are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts; however, they could have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
SCANA Legal Proceedings
The following describes certain legal proceedings involving Dominion Energy, SCANA or DESC relating to events occurring before closing of the SCANA Combination. No reference to, or disclosure of, any proceeding, item or matter described below shall be construed as an admission or indication that such proceeding, item or matter is material. For certain of these matters, and unless otherwise noted therein, Dominion Energy is unable to estimate a reasonable range of possible loss and the related financial statement impacts, but for any such matter there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. For the matters for which Dominion Energy is able to reasonably estimate a probable loss, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include reserves of $
Ratepayer Class Actions
In May 2018, a consolidated complaint against DESC, SCANA and the State of South Carolina was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the DESC Ratepayer Case). The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that DESC was negligent and unjustly enriched, breached alleged fiduciary and contractual duties and committed fraud and
58
misrepresentation in failing to properly manage the NND Project, and that DESC committed unfair trade practices and violated state anti-trust laws. In December 2018, the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County entered an order granting preliminary approval of a class action settlement. The court entered an order granting final approval of the settlement in June 2019, which became effective in July 2019. The settlement agreement, contingent upon the closing of the SCANA Combination, provided that SCANA and DESC establish an escrow account and proceeds from the escrow account would be distributed to the plaintiffs, after payment of certain taxes, attorneys' fees and other expenses and administrative costs. The escrow account would include (1) up to $
In September 2017, a purported class action was filed by Santee Cooper ratepayers against Santee Cooper, DESC, Palmetto Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Central Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case). The allegations were substantially similar to those in the DESC Ratepayer Case. In March 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement relating to this matter as well as the Luquire Case and the Glibowski Case described below. The settlement agreement provided that Dominion Energy and Santee Cooper establish a fund for the benefit of class members in the amount of $
In July 2019, a similar purported class action was filed by certain Santee Cooper ratepayers against DESC, SCANA, Dominion Energy and former directors and officers of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Orangeburg, South Carolina (the Luquire Case). In August 2019, DESC, SCANA and Dominion Energy were voluntarily dismissed from the case. The claims were similar to the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case. In March 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement as described above relating to this matter as well as the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case and the Glibowski Case. This case was dismissed as part of the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case settlement described above.
RICO Class Action
In January 2018, a purported class action was filed, and subsequently amended, against SCANA, DESC and certain former executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina (the Glibowski Case). The plaintiff alleged, among other things, that SCANA, DESC and the individual defendants participated in an unlawful racketeering enterprise in violation of RICO and conspired to violate RICO by fraudulently inflating utility bills to generate unlawful proceeds. In March 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement as described above relating to this matter as well as the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case and the Luquire Case. This case was dismissed as part of the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case settlement described above.
SCANA Shareholder Litigation
In September 2017, a purported class action was filed against SCANA and certain former executive officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. Subsequent additional purported class actions were separately filed against all or nearly all of these defendants (collectively the SCANA Securities Class Action). In January 2018, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina consolidated these suits, and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint in March 2018. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that the defendants violated §10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and that the individually named defendants are liable under §20(a) of the same act. In December 2019, the parties executed a settlement agreement pursuant to which SCANA would pay $
In September 2017, a shareholder derivative action was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina. In September 2018, this action was consolidated with another
59
action in the Business Court Pilot Program in Richland County. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, and that the defendants were unjustly enriched by bonuses they were paid in connection with the project. In January 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated action. In February 2019, one action was voluntarily dismissed. In March 2020, the court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss. In April 2020, the defendants filed a notice of appeal with the South Carolina Court of Appeals and a petition with the Supreme Court of South Carolina seeking appellate review of the denial of the motion to dismiss. In June 2020, the plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the appeal with the South Carolina Court of Appeals, which was granted in July 2020. In August 2020, the Supreme Court of South Carolina denied the defendants’ petition seeking appellate review. Also in August 2020, the defendants filed a petition for rehearing with the South Carolina Court of Appeals relating to the July 2020 ruling by the court, which was denied in October 2020. In November 2020, SCANA filed a petition of certiorari with the Supreme Court of South Carolina seeking appellate review of the denial of SCANA’s motion to dismiss. This case is pending.
In January 2018, a purported class action was filed against SCANA, Dominion Energy and certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Lexington County, South Carolina (the City of Warren Lawsuit). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that defendants violated their fiduciary duties to shareholders by executing a merger agreement that would unfairly deprive plaintiffs of the true value of their SCANA stock, and that Dominion Energy aided and abetted these actions. Among other remedies, the plaintiff seeks to enjoin and/or rescind the merger. In February 2018, a purported class action was filed against Dominion Energy and certain former directors of SCANA and DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina (the Metzler Lawsuit). The allegations made and the relief sought by the plaintiffs are substantially similar to that described for the City of Warren Lawsuit. In September 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted the plaintiffs’ motion to consolidate the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit. In October 2019, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against certain former directors and executive officers of SCANA and DESC, which stated substantially similar allegations to those in the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit as well as an inseparable fraud claim. In November 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. In April 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina denied the motion to dismiss. In May 2020, SCANA filed a motion to intervene, which was denied in August 2020. In September 2020, SCANA filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. This case is pending.
In May 2019, a case was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, were unjustly enriched by the bonuses they were paid in connection with the project and breached their fiduciary duties to secure and obtain the best price for the sale of SCANA. Also in May 2019, the case was removed to the U.S. District Court of South Carolina by the non-South Carolina defendants. In June 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the case to state court. In January 2020, the case was remanded to state court. In February 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. This case is pending.
Employment Class Actions and Indemnification
In August 2017, a case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina on behalf of persons who were formerly employed at the NND Project. In July 2018, the court certified this case as a class action. In February 2019, certain of these plaintiffs filed an additional case, which case has been dismissed and the plaintiffs have joined the case filed August 2017. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that SCANA, DESC, Fluor Corporation and Fluor Enterprises, Inc. violated the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act in connection with the decision to stop construction at the NND Project. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants failed to provide adequate advance written notice of their terminations of employment and are seeking damages, which could be as much as $
In September 2018, a case was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina by Fluor Enterprises, Inc. and Fluor Daniel Maintenance Services, Inc. against DESC and Santee Cooper. The plaintiffs make claims for indemnification, breach of contract and promissory estoppel arising from, among other things, the defendants' alleged failure and refusal to defend and indemnify the Fluor defendants in the aforementioned case. This case is pending.

FILOT Litigation and Related Matters
In November 2017, Fairfield County filed a complaint and a motion for temporary injunction against DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina, making allegations of breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and unfair trade practices related to DESC’s termination of the FILOT agreement between DESC and Fairfield County related to the NND Project. The plaintiff sought a temporary and permanent injunction to prevent DESC from terminating the FILOT agreement. The plaintiff withdrew the motion for temporary injunction in December 2017. This case is pending.
Governmental Proceedings and Investigations
In June 2018, DESC received a notice of proposed assessment of approximately $
In September and October 2017, SCANA was served with subpoenas issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina and the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement seeking documents related to the NND Project. In February 2020, the SEC filed a complaint against SCANA, two of its former executive officers and DESC in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements about the NND Project. In April 2020, SCANA and DESC reached an agreement in principle with the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint. In December 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina issued an order approving the settlement which required SCANA to pay a civil monetary penalty totaling $
In addition, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is conducting a criminal investigation into the handling of the NND Project by SCANA and DESC. Dominion Energy is cooperating fully with the investigations by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, including responding to additional subpoenas and document requests. Dominion Energy has also entered into a cooperation agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office. The cooperation agreement provides that in consideration of its full cooperation with these investigations to the satisfaction of both agencies, neither such agency will criminally prosecute or bring any civil action against Dominion Energy or any of its current, previous, or future direct or indirect subsidiaries related to the NND Project. A former executive officer of SCANA entered a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office in June 2020 and entered a guilty plea with the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina in July 2020. Another former executive officer of SCANA entered a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office and the South Carolina Attorney General's Office in November 2020 and entered guilty pleas in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina and in South Carolina state court in February 2021. As a result of the pleas, Dominion Energy has terminated indemnity for these former executive officers related to these two cases.
Abandoned NND Project
DESC, for itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, entered into an engineering, construction and procurement contract with Westinghouse and WECTEC in 2008 for the design and construction of the NND Project, of which DESC’s ownership share is
Based on the results of SCANA’s analysis, and in light of Santee Cooper's decision to suspend construction on the NND Project, in July 2017, SCANA determined to stop the construction of the units and to pursue recovery of costs incurred in connection with the construction under the abandonment provisions of the Base Load Review Act or through other means. This decision by SCANA
61
became the focus of numerous legislative, regulatory and legal proceedings. Some of these proceedings remain unresolved and are described above.
In September 2017, DESC, for itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York Proofs of Claim for unliquidated damages against each of Westinghouse and WECTEC. These Proofs of Claim were based upon the anticipatory repudiation and material breach by Westinghouse and WECTEC of the contract, and assert against Westinghouse and WECTEC any and all claims that are based thereon or that may be related thereto.
Westinghouse’s reorganization plan was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York and became effective in August 2018. In connection with the effectiveness of the reorganization plan, the contract associated with the NND Project was deemed rejected. DESC is contesting approximately $
Westinghouse has indicated that some unsecured creditors have sought or may seek amounts beyond what Westinghouse allocated when it submitted its reorganization plan to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. If any unsecured creditor is successful in its attempt to include its claim as part of the class of general unsecured creditors beyond the amounts in the bankruptcy reorganization plan allocated by Westinghouse, it is possible that the reorganization plan will not provide for payment in full or nearly in full to its pre-petition trade creditors. The shortfall could be significant.
DESC and Santee Cooper were responsible for amounts owed to Westinghouse for valid work performed by Westinghouse subcontractors on the NND Project after the Westinghouse bankruptcy filing until termination of the interim assessment agreement. In December 2019, DESC and Santee Cooper entered into a confidential settlement agreement with W Wind Down Co LLC resolving claims relating to the interim assessment agreement.
Further, some Westinghouse subcontractors who have made claims against Westinghouse in the bankruptcy proceeding also filed against DESC and Santee Cooper in South Carolina state court for damages. Many of these claimants have also asserted construction liens against the NND Project site. DESC also intends to oppose these claims and liens. With respect to claims of Westinghouse subcontractors, DESC believes there were sufficient amounts previously funded during the interim assessment agreement period to pay such validly asserted claims. With respect to the Westinghouse subcontractor claims which relate to other periods, DESC understands that such claims will be paid pursuant to Westinghouse’s confirmed bankruptcy reorganization plan. DESC further understands that the amounts paid under the plan may satisfy such claims in full. Therefore, DESC believes that the Westinghouse subcontractors may be paid substantially (and potentially in full) by Westinghouse. While Dominion Energy cannot be assured that it will not have any exposure on account of unpaid Westinghouse subcontractor claims, which DESC is presently disputing, Dominion Energy believes it is unlikely that it will be required to make payments on account of such claims.
Nuclear Operations
Nuclear Insurance
In March 2021, the total liability protection per nuclear incident available to all participants in the Secondary Financial Protection Program decreased from $
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, 2020, the Companies entered into contracts with the DOE for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel under provisions of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982.
In June 2018, a lawsuit for Kewaunee was filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for recovery of spent nuclear fuel storage costs incurred after 2013. In March 2019, Dominion Energy amended its filing for recovery of spent nuclear fuel storage to include costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2018. This matter is pending.

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, 2021, Dominion Energy had issued the following subsidiary guarantees:

Credit-Related Contingent Provisions
Certain of Dominion Energy’s derivative instruments contain credit-related contingent provisions. These provisions require Dominion Energy to provide collateral upon the occurrence of specific events, primarily a credit rating downgrade. If the credit-related contingent features underlying these instruments that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash were fully triggered as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Dominion Energy would have been required to post $

Note 19. Related-Party Transactions
Virginia Power engages in related-party transactions primarily with other Dominion Energy subsidiaries (affiliates). Virginia Power’s receivable and payable balances with affiliates are settled based on contractual terms or on a monthly basis, depending on the nature of the underlying transactions. Virginia Power is included in Dominion Energy's consolidated federal income tax return and, where applicable, combined income tax returns for Dominion Energy are filed in various states. Dominion Energy’s transactions with equity method investments are described in Note 10. A discussion of significant related-party transactions follows.
Virginia Power
Transactions with Affiliates
Virginia Power transacts with affiliates for certain quantities of natural gas and other commodities in the ordinary course of business. Virginia Power also enters into certain commodity derivative contracts with affiliates. Virginia Power uses these contracts, which are principally comprised of forward commodity purchases, to manage commodity price risks associated with purchases of natural gas. At March 31, 2021, Virginia Power’s derivative assets and liabilities with affiliates were $
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, 2020. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 $
DES and other affiliates provide accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services to Virginia Power. In addition, Virginia Power provides certain services to affiliates, including charges for facilities and equipment usage.
The financial statements for all years presented include costs for certain general, administrative and corporate expenses assigned by DES to Virginia Power on the basis of direct and allocated methods in accordance with Virginia Power’s services agreements with DES. Where costs incurred cannot be determined by specific identification, the costs are allocated based on the proportional level of effort devoted by DES resources that is attributable to the entity, determined by reference to number of employees, salaries and wages and other similar measures for the relevant DES service. Management believes the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocation of general corporate overhead expenses are reasonable.

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.

An analysis of Dominion Energy’s results of operations follows:
First Quarter 2021 vs. 2020
Operating revenue decreased 2%, primarily reflecting:
• |
A $151 million decrease from an unbilled revenue reduction at Virginia Power; |
• |
A $51 million decrease due to unfavorable pricing at Millstone; |
• |
A $31 million decrease as a result of the contribution of certain nonregulated natural gas retail energy contracts to Wrangler; and |
• |
A $17 million decrease in PJM off-system sales. |
These decreases were partially offset by:
• |
A $85 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers, primarily due to an increase in heating degree days; |
• |
A $71 million increase from Virginia Power riders; |
• |
A $42 million net increase in the fuel cost component included in utility rates as a result of a net increase in commodity costs associated with sales to gas utility customers ($88 million) partially offset by a net decrease in commodity costs associated with sales to electric utility retail customers ($46 million); and |
• |
A $35 million increase from gas utility capital cost riders. |
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases decreased 16%, primarily due to lower commodity costs for electric utilities ($49 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, and a decrease in PJM off-system sales ($17 million).
Purchased gas increased 12%, primarily due to an increase in commodity costs for gas utilities ($88 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, partially offset by a decrease as a result of the contribution of certain nonregulated natural gas retail energy contracts to Wrangler ($27 million).
Other operations and maintenance increased 11%, primarily reflecting an increase in certain Virginia Power expenditures which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income ($62 million) and an increase in storm damage and restoration costs in Virginia Power’s service territory ($48 million).
Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 5%, primarily due to various projects being placed into service.
Impairment of assets and other charges decreased 88%, primarily due to the absence of charges associated with the planned early retirements of certain electric generation facilities in Virginia ($750 million) and a decrease to the CCRO reserve associated with the
72
2021 Triennial Review ($130 million), partially offset by a charge for the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process ($76 million), charges associated with litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination ($60 million) and a charge for corporate office lease termination ($71 million).
Other income increased $821 million, primarily reflecting net investment gains in 2021 compared to net investment losses in 2020 on nuclear decommissioning trust funds ($671 million), an increase in equity method earnings from Cove Point following closing of the GT&S Transaction ($67 million), an increase in non-service components of pension and other postretirement employee benefit plan credits ($36 million) and the absence of charges associated with litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination ($25 million).
Interest and related charges decreased 88%, primarily reflecting unrealized gains in 2021 compared to unrealized losses in 2020 associated with freestanding derivatives ($375 million) and the absence of charges associated with the early redemption of certain securities in the first quarter of 2020 ($31 million).
Income tax expense increased $262 million, primarily due to higher pre-tax income.
Net income from discontinued operations including noncontrolling interests decreased 88%, primarily due to the closing of the GT&S Transaction in November 2020.
Noncontrolling interests decreased $31 million, primarily due to the closing of the GT&S Transaction in November 2020.
Segment Results of Operations
Segment results include the impact of intersegment revenues and expenses, which may result in intersegment profit and loss. In September 2020, Dominion Energy updated its operating segments following the July 2020 agreement to sell substantially all of its gas transmission and storage operations to BHE. The historical information presented herein has been recast to reflect the current segment presentation. Presented below is a summary of contributions by Dominion Energy’s operating segments to net income (loss) attributable to Dominion Energy:

An analysis of Virginia Power’s results of operations follows:
First Quarter 2021 vs. 2020
Operating revenue decreased 5%, primarily reflecting:
• |
A $151 million decrease from an unbilled revenue reduction; |
• |
A $74 million decrease in the fuel cost component included in utility rates as a result of a net decrease in commodity costs associated with sales to electric utility retail customers; and |
• |
A $17 million decrease in PJM off-system sales; partially offset by |
• |
A $71 million increase from riders; and |
• |
A $68 million increase in sales to retail customers, primarily due to an increase in heating degree days. |
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases decreased 17%, primarily due to lower commodity costs for electric utilities ($74 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, and a decrease in PJM off-system sales ($17 million).
Other operations and maintenance increased 23%, primarily reflecting an increase in certain expenses which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income ($62 million) and an increase in storm damage and service restoration costs in its service territory ($48 million), partially offset by a reduction in bad debt expense due to the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process ($10 million).
Depreciation and amortization increased 4%, primarily due to various projects being placed into service ($19 million), partially offset by the absence of depreciation from certain electric generation facilities that were, or have committed to be, retired early ($11 million).
Impairment of assets and other charges decreased $815 million, primarily due to the absence of charges associated with the planned early retirements of certain electric generation facilities ($750 million) and a decrease to the CCRO reserve associated with the 2021 Triennial Review ($130 million), partially offset by a charge for the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process ($76 million).
Other income increased $84 million, primarily reflecting net investment gains in 2021 compared to net investment losses in 2020 on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
Income tax expense increased $101 million, primarily due to higher pre-tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Dominion Energy depends on both internal and external sources of liquidity to provide working capital and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. Short-term cash requirements not met by cash provided by operations are generally satisfied with proceeds from short-term borrowings. Long-term cash needs are met through issuances of debt and/or equity securities.
At March 31, 2021, Dominion Energy had $3.4 billion of unused capacity under its joint revolving credit facility.

Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by Dominion Energy’s operating activities decreased $181 million, including a $425 million decrease from discontinued operations. Net cash provided by continuing operations increased primarily due to a decrease in cash paid for interest, a distribution from Cove Point, the absence of payments related to a voluntary retirement program and net changes in working capital items, partially offset by lower deferred fuel cost recoveries.
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.
Dominion Energy’s operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that may negatively impact the timing or amounts of operating cash flows, which are discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Credit Risk
Dominion Energy’s exposure to potential concentrations of credit risk results primarily from its energy marketing and price risk management activities. Presented below is a summary of Dominion Energy’s credit exposure as of March 31, 2021 for these activities. Gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated prior to the application of collateral and represents outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- or off-balance sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights.

Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s investing activities increased $667 million, primarily due to an increase in contributions to equity method affiliates including Atlantic Coast Pipeline, partially offset by a decrease in plant construction and other property additions and the absence of the acquisitions of Pivotal LNG, Inc. and an additional interest in Atlantic Coat Pipeline.
Financing Cash Flows and Liquidity
Dominion Energy relies on capital markets as significant sources of funding for capital requirements not satisfied by cash provided by its operations. As discussed further in Credit Ratings and Debt Covenants in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the ability to borrow funds or issue securities and the return demanded by investors are affected by credit ratings. In addition, the raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory requirements, including registration with the SEC for certain issuances.
Dominion Energy currently meets the definition of a well-known seasoned issuer under SEC rules governing the registration, 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.
Net cash provided by Dominion Energy's financing activities increased $165 million primarily due to lower common stock dividend payments and higher net issuances of short-term debt, partially offset by repayment of the 364-day revolving supplemental credit facility borrowings.
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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $338 million and $268 million, respectively, with respect to such notes presented within short-term debt. The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.
See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for further information regarding Dominion Energy’s credit facilities, liquidity and significant financing transactions.
Credit Ratings
Credit ratings are intended to provide banks and capital market participants with a framework for comparing the credit quality of securities and are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. In the Credit Ratings section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, there is a discussion on the use of capital markets by Dominion Energy as well as the impact of credit ratings on the accessibility and costs of using these markets. As of March 31, 2021, there have been no changes in Dominion Energy’s credit ratings.
Debt Covenants
In the Debt Covenants section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, there is a discussion on the various covenants present in the enabling agreements underlying Dominion Energy’s debt. As of March 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to debt covenants, nor any events of default under Dominion Energy’s debt covenants.
Subsidiary Dividend Restrictions
As of March 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to the subsidiary dividend restrictions disclosed in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Future Cash Payments for Contractual Obligations and Planned Capital Expenditures
As of March 31, 2021, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to Dominion Energy’s contractual obligations nor any material changes to planned capital expenditures as disclosed in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Use of Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, with the exception of the following matter.
In December 2019, Dominion Energy signed an agreement with a lessor, as amended in May 2020, to construct and lease a new corporate office property in Richmond, Virginia. The lessor provided equity and had obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $465 million, to fund the estimated project costs. In March 2021, Dominion Energy notified the lessor of its intention to terminate the leasing arrangement effective April 2021. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $71 million ($53 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2021, included in impairments of assets and other charges in its Consolidated Statements of Income, primarily for amounts required to be repaid to the lessor.
Future Issues and Other Matters
The following discussion of future issues and other information includes current developments of previously disclosed matters and new issues arising during the period covered by, and subsequent to, the dates of Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements that may impact future results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. This section should be read in conjunction with Item 1. Business and Future Issues and Other Matters in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Environmental Matters
Dominion Energy is subject to costs resulting from a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. These laws and regulations affect future planning and existing operations. They can result in increased capital, operating and other costs as a result of compliance, remediation, containment and monitoring obligations. See Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information on various environmental matters.
Legal Matters
See Notes 13 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Notes 13 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 1. Legal Proceedings in this report for additional information on various legal matters.
Regulatory Matters
See Notes 3 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information on various regulatory matters.
Future Environmental Regulations
State Actions Related to Air and GHG Emissions
In October 2020, the EPA published a proposal to revise the 2016 Cross-State Air Pollution Rule Update to address interstate air quality impacts for the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards. In April 2021, the EPA published the final rule update, which will become effective in June 2021. The EPA’s final rule affects 12 states including Virginia and West Virginia and amends existing NOX ozone season emission budgets. The EPA requires implementation of the revised emission budgets beginning with the 2021 ozone season (May 1 through September 30, 2021). Dominion Energy has completed an evaluation of the potential impacts of the final rule and expects that any impact would not be material to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Commercial Project
In September 2019, Virginia Power filed applications with PJM for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Commercial project to interconnect 2,640 MW of wind energy off the coast of Virginia adjacent to the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Pilot project. The project is expected to be placed in service by the end of 2026 with preliminary cost estimates from late 2019 of approximately $8 billion. Throughout project development, certain planning inputs and assumptions may vary from initial and preliminary estimates. During 2021, inflationary pressure on certain raw materials including steel have been observed which may impact project costs. In addition, Virginia Power has moved into the detailed design phase for the project’s onshore electric transmission facilities including final route selection with consideration given for resiliency and minimizing environmental impacts. Although total costs for this component cannot be more precisely estimated until a final route is selected, these design factors will likely result in an increase in costs. While certain cost inputs may increase, further evaluation of turbine design and wind resource in addition to the performance to-date of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Pilot project, is likely to result in a revised assumption of higher lifetime capacity factors which is expected to mitigate potential increases in development costs such that there is no expected change to Virginia Power’s preliminary estimate for the project’s projected levelized cost of energy. Virginia Power expects to file with the Virginia Commission a request for CPCN and related rider, which filing will include an updated cost estimate for the project, by the end of 2021.
Dominion Energy Virginia – Nuclear Operating Licenses
In 2018, Virginia Power applied for renewal of its operating licenses for an additional 20 years for the two nuclear units at Surry. In May 2021, the NRC approved Virginia Power’s application, allowing the units to generate electricity through 2052 and 2053.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The matters discussed in this Item may contain “forward-looking statements” as described in the introductory paragraphs under Part I., Item 2. MD&A in this report. The reader’s attention is directed to those paragraphs for discussion of various risks and uncertainties that may impact the Companies.
Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management
The Companies’ financial instruments, commodity contracts and related financial derivative instruments are exposed to potential losses due to adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates and equity security prices as described below. Commodity price risk is present in the Companies’ electric operations and Dominion Energy’s natural gas procurement and marketing operations due to the exposure to market shifts in prices received and paid for electricity, natural gas and other commodities. The Companies use commodity derivative contracts to manage price risk exposures for these operations. Interest rate risk is generally related to their outstanding debt and future issuances of debt. In addition, the Companies are exposed to investment price risk through various portfolios of equity and debt securities.
The following sensitivity analysis estimates the potential loss of future earnings or fair value from market risk sensitive instruments over a selected time period due to a 10% change in commodity prices or interest rates.
Commodity Price Risk
To manage price risk, the Companies hold commodity-based derivative instruments held for non-trading purposes associated with purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products.
The derivatives used to manage commodity price risk are executed within established policies and procedures and may include instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps, options and FTRs that are sensitive to changes in the related commodity prices. For sensitivity analysis purposes, the hypothetical change in market prices of commodity-based derivative instruments is determined based on models that consider the market prices of commodities in future periods, the volatility of the market prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the derivative instruments. Prices and volatility are principally determined based on observable market prices.
A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of $15 million of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of March 31, 2021. A hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of $2 million of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of December 31, 2020.
A hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of $26 million and $35 million of Virginia Power’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The impact of a change in energy commodity prices on the Companies' commodity-based derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net losses from commodity-based financial derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction, such as revenue from physical sales of the commodity.
Interest Rate Risk
The Companies manage their interest rate risk exposure predominantly by maintaining a balance of fixed and variable rate debt. They also enter into interest rate sensitive derivatives, including interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements. For variable rate debt outstanding for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material change in earnings at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
The Companies also use interest rate derivatives, including forward-starting swaps, interest rate swaps and interest rate block agreements to manage interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2021, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $6.7 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $177 million and $100 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power interest rate derivatives at March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $6.9 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $124 million and $75 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2020.
82
The impact of a change in interest rates on the Companies’ interest rate-based financial derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net gains and/or losses from interest rate derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction.
Investment Price Risk
The Companies are subject to investment price risk due to securities held as investments in nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust funds that are managed by third-party investment managers. These trust funds primarily hold marketable securities that are reported in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.
Dominion Energy recognized net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $304 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, net investment losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $876 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $0.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments. Dominion Energy recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $64 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and a net increase in unrealized gains on debt investments of $57 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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.
In the first quarter of 2021, Dominion Energy completed the integration of SCANA’s systems and processes into Dominion Energy’s framework of internal control over financial reporting. As part of this process, Dominion Energy transitioned SCANA’s financial activity into Dominion Energy’s accounting system. Throughout this integration and system implementation, Dominion Energy appropriately considered internal controls over financial reporting.
Other than with respect to this item for Dominion Energy, 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.
