REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Plan Participants and Plan Administrator
of the Dominion Energy West Virginia Union Savings Plan
Richmond, Virginia
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Dominion Energy West Virginia Union Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Report on Supplemental Schedule
The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2023, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, is presented in compliance with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, such schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

DOMINION ENERGY WEST VIRGINIA UNION SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022, AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Dominion Energy West Virginia Union Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
Individual participant accounts invested in the Common Collective Trust Funds, the Intermediate Bond Fund and the separately managed account (SMA) are maintained on a unit value basis. Participants do not have beneficial ownership in specific underlying securities or other assets in the various funds and SMA, but have an interest therein represented by units valued as of the last business day of the period. The various funds and SMA earn dividends and interest, which are automatically reinvested within the funds and SMA. Generally, contributions to and withdrawal payments from each fund and SMA are converted to units by dividing the amounts of such transactions by the unit values as last determined, and the participants’ accounts are charged or credited with the number of units properly attributable to each participant.
5
The loans are interest-bearing at the prime rate of interest plus 1%. The rate is determined at the beginning of each month if a change has occurred in the prime rate. However, the rate is fixed at the inception of the loan for the life of the loan.
Terminated participants could elect to continue repaying their loans, provided they established a loan repayment schedule with the Plan recordkeeper. Any defaults in loans result in a reclassification of the remaining loan balances as taxable distributions to the participants.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
6
Investments at December 31, 2023 and 2022, included $19,773,370 and $28,154,403, respectively, of the Dominion Stock Fund. This investment represents 41% and 50% of total investments at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. A large decline in the market value of the Dominion Stock Fund could significantly affect the net assets available for benefits.
Net appreciation or depreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
Income or loss from Master Trust includes dividend income and net realized and unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
Investment management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan are deducted from income earned daily and are not separately reflected. Consequently, investment management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return.
7
3. PLAN INTEREST IN MASTER TRUST
Certain of the Plan’s investments are held in a Master Trust that was established for the Plan and other employee benefit plans of Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries. Investment income and expenses are allocated to the individual plans based upon average monthly balances invested by each participant.
The net assets of the Master Trust and the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust at December 31, 2023 and 2022 are summarized as follows:

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. Fair value measurements assume that the transaction occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability (the market with the most volume and activity for the asset or liability from the perspective of the reporting entity), or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability (the market in which the reporting entity would be able to maximize the amount received or minimize the amount paid). The Plan applies fair value measurements to the Plan’s investments in accordance with the requirements described above.
8
Inputs and Assumptions
The Plan maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring the fair value of its investments. Fair value is based on actively-quoted market prices, if available. In the absence of actively-quoted market prices, the Plan seeks price information from external sources, including broker quotes. When evaluating pricing information provided by brokers, the Plan considers whether the broker is willing and able to trade at the quoted price, if the broker quotes are based on an active market or an inactive market and the extent to which brokers are utilizing a particular model if pricing is not readily available. If pricing information from external sources is not available, or if the Plan believes that observable pricing is not indicative of fair value, judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. In those cases, the Plan must estimate prices based on available historical and near-term future price information and certain statistical methods that reflect market assumptions.
The inputs and assumptions used in measuring fair value for investments include the following:
The Plan regularly evaluates and validates the inputs used to estimate fair value by a number of methods, including review and verification of models, as well as various market price verification procedures such as the use of multiple broker quotes to support the market price of the various investments in which the Plan transacts.
The fair values of the Plan’s investments are determined as follows:
9
Levels
The Plan utilizes the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these cases, the lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset.
10
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents the investments held by the Plan that are measured at fair value for each hierarchy level as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:

5. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan is a qualified employees’ profit sharing trust under Section 401(k) of the IRC and, as such, is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a). Pursuant to Section 402(a) of the IRC, a participant is not taxed on the income and pre-tax contributions allocated to the participant’s account until such time as the participant or the participant’s beneficiaries receive distributions from the Plan.
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on August 25, 2017, in which the IRS stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. In December 2016, the IRS began publishing a
11
Required Amendments List (List) for individually designed plans which specifies changes in qualification requirements. The List is published annually and requires plans to be amended for each item on the List, as applicable, to retain its tax exempt status. The Plan has been amended since applying for the determination letter; however, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan and related trust are currently designed, have been amended and are being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
6. EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
As of December 31, 2023, the Plan had an interest in the Master Trust and invested in shares of certain common/collective trust funds that were managed by Northern Trust. At that date, Northern Trust was the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for investment management services were included as a reduction of the return earned on each investment fund.
At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Plan’s investment in the Dominion Stock Fund included 420,710 and 459,139 shares, respectively, of common stock of Dominion Energy, the Plan sponsor, with a cost basis of approximately $31 million and $34 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Plan purchased $1 million and sold $4 million of common stock of Dominion Energy and recorded dividend income related to Dominion Energy common stock of approximately $1.2 million.
7. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Employer has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event of any termination of the Plan, or upon complete or partial discontinuance of contributions, the accounts of each affected participant shall become fully vested.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent events were evaluated through June 20, 2024, the date the financial statements were issued.
