Note 18. Credit Risk

The Companies’ accounting policies for credit risk are discussed in Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

At September 30, 2022, Dominion Energy’s credit exposure totaled $133 million, primarily related to price risk management activities. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 88%. No single counterparty, whether investment grade or non-investment grade, exceeded $45 million of exposure. At September 30, 2022, Virginia Power’s exposure related to wholesale customers totaled $17 million. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 78%. No single counterparty, whether investment grade or non-investment grade, exceeded $4 million of exposure.

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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy would have been required to post $189 million and $31 million, respectively, of additional collateral to its counterparties. The collateral that would be required to be posted includes the impacts of any offsetting asset positions and any amounts already posted for derivatives, non-derivative contracts and derivatives elected under the normal purchases and normal sales exception, per contractual terms. Dominion Energy had posted $124 million and $66 million of collateral at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, related to derivative instruments with credit-related contingent provisions that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash. In addition, Dominion Energy had posted letters of credit as collateral with counterparties covering $53 million of fair value of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2022. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-related contingent provisions that are in a liability position and not fully collateralized with cash was $313 million and $97 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which does not include the impact of any offsetting asset positions.
