As a result of Dominion's decision to realign its business units effective for 2015 year-end reporting, nonregulated retail energy marketing operations were moved from the Dominion Generation segment to the Dominion Energy segment.

In addition to the operating segments above, the Companies also report a Corporate and Other segment.
