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. and nonregulated electric generation.
In connection with the comprehensive business review announced in November 2022, Dominion Energy entered into agreements in September 2023 to sell all of its regulated gas distribution operations, except for DESC’s, to Enbridge. In addition, Dominion Energy completed the sale in September 2023 of its remaining
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, 2022.
In the Companies’ opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly their financial position at September 30, 2023, their results of operations and changes in equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and their cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. 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.
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’ 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2023 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, 2022, with the exception of the items described below.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
The Companies’ fair value measurements are made in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 9 in this report for additional information about the Companies’ derivatives and hedge accounting activities.
The Companies enter into certain physical and financial forwards, futures and options, 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 and futures contracts. An option model is used to value Level 3 physical options. The discounted cash flow model for forwards and futures calculates mark-to-market valuations based on forward market prices, original transaction prices, volumes, risk-free rate of return and credit spreads. The option model calculates mark-to-market valuations using variations of the Black-Scholes option model. The inputs into the models are the forward market prices, implied price volatilities, risk-free rate of return, the option expiration dates, the option strike prices, the original sales prices and volumes. For Level 3 fair value measurements, certain forward market prices and implied price volatilities are considered unobservable.
34
The following table presents the Companies' quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements at September 30, 2023. The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs and percentages for price volatility.

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, 2022. See Note 8 in this report for additional information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives.

Cash collateral is used in the table below to offset derivative assets and liabilities. In February 2022, Dominion Energy entered into contracts representing offsetting positions to certain existing exchange contracts with collateral requirements as well as new over-the-counter transactions that are not subject to collateral requirements. These contracts resulted in positions which limit the risk of increased cash collateral requirements. 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 other 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 additional information regarding credit-related contingent features for the Companies’ derivative instruments.
Balance Sheet Presentation
The tables below present the Companies' derivative asset and liability balances by type of financial instrument, if the gross amounts recognized in their Consolidated Balance Sheets were netted with derivative instruments and cash collateral received or paid:

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, 2022.

Virginia Regulation - Key Legislation Affecting Operations
Virginia 2023 Legislation
In April 2023, legislation was enacted that amended several key provisions of the Regulation Act, as previously amended by the GTSA, and revised portions of the existing regulatory framework affecting Virginia Power’s operations. See Note 13 to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for additional information on the Regulation Act and GTSA.
The legislation resets the frequency of base rate reviews from a triennial period, as established under the GTSA, to a biennial period commencing with the 2023 Biennial Review. Such biennial reviews shall include the establishment of an authorized ROE to be utilized for base rates and riders, prospective base rates for the upcoming two-year period based on projected cost of service and a determination by the Virginia Commission as to Virginia Power’s base rate earned return for the most recently completed two-year period against the previously authorized ROE, including any potential credits to customers’ bills.
The legislation provides that the Virginia Commission will establish an authorized ROE of
The legislation directs that if the Virginia Commission determines as part of the 2023 Biennial Review that Virginia Power has earned more than
In addition to the biennial review mechanisms discussed above, the legislation also includes provisions related to other aspects of Virginia Power’s ratemaking framework.
49
In addition, in May 2023 legislation was enacted that amended certain portions of the VCEA to qualify generation produced by Virginia Power’s biomass electric generating stations as renewable energy and eliminate the mandated retirement of such facilities by the end of 2028.
Virginia Regulation - Recent Developments
2023 Biennial Review
In July 2023, Virginia Power filed its base rate case and accompanying schedules in support of the 2023 Biennial Review in accordance with legislation enacted in Virginia in April 2023 as discussed above. Virginia Power’s earnings test analysis, as filed, demonstrated it earned a combined ROE of

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. Other than the items discussed below, there have been no significant changes regarding the Companies’ credit facilities and short-term debt as described in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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. The Companies maintain various insurance programs, including general liability insurance coverage which provides coverage for personal injury or wrongful death cases. 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 standards in June 2018 with states required to develop plans to address the new standard. Certain states in which the Companies operate have developed plans, and had such plans approved or partially approved by the EPA, which are not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ results of operations or cash flows. In March 2023, the EPA issued a final rule specifying an interstate federal implementation plan to comply with certain aspects of planning for the 2015 ozone standards which is applicable in August 2023 for certain states, including Virginia. The interstate federal implementation plan imposes tighter NOX emissions limits during the ozone season and includes provisions for the use of allowances to cover such emissions. Until implementation plans for the 2015 ozone standards are fully developed and approved for all states in which the Companies operate, 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, financial condition and/or 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. In October 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit’s decision on the ACE Rule. In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the D.C. Circuit’s decision on the ACE Rule and remanded the case back to the D.C. Circuit. In May 2023, the EPA proposed to repeal the ACE Rule as part of a package of proposed rules addressing CO2 emissions from new and existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. Until the EPA takes final action on this proposed rulemaking, the Companies cannot predict an impact to its operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
60
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. 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
61
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 primarily to events occurring before closing of the SCANA Combination. In addition, certain legal matters which have been resolved are discussed in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 include reserves of $

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.

Credit-Related Contingent Provisions
Certain of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power's derivative instruments contain credit-related contingent provisions. These provisions require Dominion Energy and Virginia Power 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, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power would have been required to post additional collateral to its counterparties of $
See Note 9 for additional information about derivative instruments.
Note 19. Related-Party Transactions
Dominion Energy’s transactions with equity method investments are described in Note 10. 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. A discussion of Virginia Power's significant related-party transactions follows.
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 September 30, 2023, 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, 2022.

DES and other affiliates provide accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services and licenses 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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.
Contents of MD&A
MD&A consists of the following information:
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains statements concerning the Companies’ expectations, plans, objectives, future financial performance and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In most cases, the reader can identify these forward-looking statements by such words as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “expect,” “believe,” “should,” “could,” “plan,” “may,” “continue,” “target” or other similar words.
The Companies make forward-looking statements with full knowledge that risks and uncertainties exist that may cause actual results to differ materially from predicted results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ are often presented with the forward-looking statements themselves. Additionally, other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement. These factors include but are not limited to:
71
72
Additionally, other risks that could cause actual results to differ from predicted results are set forth in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report.
The Companies’ forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. The Companies caution the reader not to place undue reliance on their forward-looking statements because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may, and often do, differ materially from actual results. The Companies undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made.
Accounting Matters
As of September 30, 2023, there have been no significant changes with regard to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The policies disclosed included the accounting for regulated operations, AROs, income taxes, accounting for derivative contracts and financial instruments at fair value, use of estimates in goodwill impairment testing, use of estimates in long-lived asset and equity method investment impairment testing, held for sale classification and employee benefit plans.

Overview
Third Quarter 2023 vs. 2022
Net income attributable to Dominion Energy decreased 79%, primarily due to a charge to reflect the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of stock associated with East Ohio, PSNC, Questar Gas and Wexpro meeting the classification as held for sale and a decrease from the impact of 2023 Virginia legislation, partially offset by a gain on the sale of Dominion Energy's remaining noncontrolling interest in Cove Point and increased unrealized gains on economic hedging activities.
Year-To-Date 2023 vs. 2022
Net income attributable to Dominion Energy increased 70%, primarily due to the absences of a loss associated with the sale of Kewaunee, a charge for RGGI compliance costs deemed recovered through base rates and a charge in connection with a comprehensive settlement agreement for Virginia fuel expenses. In addition, there was an increase in net investment earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds, a gain on the sale of Dominion Energy's remaining noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, increased unrealized gains on economic hedging activities and a decrease in storm damage and service restoration costs. These increases were partially offset by a charge to reflect the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of stock associated with East Ohio, PSNC, Questar Gas and Wexpro meeting the classification as held for sale, a charge associated with the impairment of a

corporate office building, a decrease in sales to electric utility customers attributable to weather and a decrease from the impact of 2023 Virginia legislation.

An analysis of Dominion Energy’s results of operations follows:
Third Quarter 2023 vs. 2022
Operating revenue decreased 4%, primarily reflecting:
These decreases were partially offset by:
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases decreased 14%, primarily due to lower commodity costs for electric utilities, which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.
Purchased gas decreased 56%, primarily due to a decrease in commodity costs for gas utility operations, which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.
Other operations and maintenance remained substantially consistent, primarily due to a decrease in certain Virginia Power expenditures which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income ($60 million), partially offset by an increase in storm damage and restoration costs in Virginia Power’s service territory ($27 million) and an increase from the combination of certain riders into base rates at Virginia Power as a result of 2023 Virginia legislation ($15 million).
74
Impairment of assets and other charges decreased $26 million, primarily due to a net decrease in dismantling costs and other activities associated with certain retired electric generation facilities at Virginia Power.
Gains on sales of assets decreased $27 million, primarily due to the absence of a gain on the transfer of certain non-utility property in South Carolina.
Interest and related charges decreased 47%, primarily due to unrealized gains in 2023 compared to unrealized losses in 2022 associated with freestanding derivatives ($308 million), partially offset by increased commercial paper and long-term debt borrowings ($53 million), higher interest rates on commercial paper and long-term debt ($47 million), higher interest rates on variable rate debt and cash flow interest rate swaps ($33 million) and the absence of benefits associated with the early redemption of certain securities in the third quarter of 2022 ($17 million).
Income tax expense increased $112 million, primarily due to higher pre-tax income ($35 million), an increase in consolidated state deferred income taxes associated with the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions and the sale of Dominion Energy’s 50% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point ($29 million), lower interim period allocation of investment tax credits ($29 million) and increased consolidated state deferred income taxes on pre-tax gains from nuclear decommissioning trusts and economic hedges ($15 million).
Net income from discontinued operations including noncontrolling interests decreased $706 million, primarily due to charges reflecting the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of stock associated with East Ohio, PSNC, Questar Gas and Wexpro meeting the classification as held for sale that will reverse when the sale is completed ($939 million), unrealized losses in 2023 compared to unrealized gains in 2022 on interest rate derivatives for economic hedging of debt secured by Dominion Energy's interest in Cove Point ($72 million) and a decrease in equity method earnings from the sale of Dominion Energy's noncontrolling interest in Cove Point ($29 million), partially offset by the gain on the sale of Dominion Energy's remaining noncontrolling interest in Cove Point ($348 million).
Year-To-Date 2023 vs. 2022
Operating revenue increased 7%, primarily reflecting:
These increases were partially offset by:
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 15%, primarily due to higher commodity costs for electric utilities ($354 million) and an increase in the use of purchased renewable energy credits at Virginia Power ($63 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.
75
Purchased gas decreased 36%, primarily due to a decrease in commodity costs for gas utility operations ($77 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income and a decrease from the sale of Hope ($43 million).
Other operations and maintenance decreased 9%, primarily due to a decrease in certain Virginia Power expenditures which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income ($163 million), a decrease in storm damage and restoration costs in Virginia Power’s service territory ($84 million) and a decrease from the sale of Hope ($25 million), partially offset by an increase in outside services ($38 million), an increase in salaries, wages and benefits ($16 million) and an increase from the combination of certain riders into base rates at Virginia Power as a result of 2023 Virginia legislation ($15 million).
Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 3%, primarily due to various projects being placed into service ($80 million), partially offset by a decrease due to the impairment of certain nonregulated solar generation facilities in 2022 ($26 million).
Impairment of assets and other charges decreased 68%, primarily due to the absence of a charge in connection with a comprehensive settlement agreement for Virginia fuel expenses ($191 million), the absence of a charge for RGGI compliance costs deemed recovered through base rates ($180 million) and a net decrease in dismantling costs and other activities associated with certain retired electric generation facilities at Virginia Power ($70 million), partially offset by the impairment of a corporate office building ($96 million) and a charge for the write-off of certain previously deferred amounts related to the cessation of certain riders effective July 2023 ($36 million).
Gains on sales of assets increased $604 million, primarily due to the absence of a loss associated with the sale of Kewaunee ($649 million), partially offset by the absence of a gain on the contribution of certain privatization operations to Dominion Privatization ($23 million).
Other income increased $827 million, primarily due to net investment gains in 2023 compared to net investment losses in 2022 on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
Interest and related charges increased 58%, primarily due to higher interest rates on commercial paper and long-term debt ($148 million), increased commercial paper and long-term debt borrowings ($133 million), higher interest rates on variable rate debt and cash flow interest rate swaps ($110 million), lower premiums received on interest rate derivatives ($39 million), lower unrealized gains in 2023 compared to 2022 associated with freestanding derivatives ($28 million) and the absence of benefits associated with the early redemption of certain securities in the third quarter of 2022 ($17 million), partially offset by decreased interest expense associated with rider deferrals ($30 million).
Income tax expense increased $371 million, primarily due to higher pre-tax income ($480 million) and an increase in consolidated state deferred income taxes associated with the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions and the sale of Dominion Energy’s 50% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point ($29 million), partially offset by the absence of a charge on the sale of Hope’s stock ($90 million) and decreased consolidated state deferred income taxes on pre-tax gains from nuclear decommissioning trusts and economic hedges ($16 million).
Net income from discontinued operations including noncontrolling interests decreased $880 million, primarily due to charges reflecting the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of stock associated with East Ohio, PSNC, Questar Gas and Wexpro meeting the classification as held for sale that will reverse when the sale is completed ($939 million), lower unrealized gains in 2023 compared to 2022 on interest rate derivatives for economic hedging of debt secured by Dominion Energy's interest in Cove Point ($179 million), higher interest rates on variable rate debt secured by Dominion Energy's interest in Cove Point ($39 million), an increase in interest expense primarily associated with debt issuances in 2022 ($27 million), the absence of a gain associated with the Q-Pipe Group for the finalization of the working capital adjustment in the first quarter of 2022 ($20 million) and an impairment charge of certain nonregulated solar assets ($11 million), partially offset by the gain on the sale of Dominion Energy's remaining noncontrolling interest in Cove Point ($348 million) and an increase following the approved base rate case for Questar Gas ($29 million).

An analysis of Virginia Power’s results of operations follows:
Third Quarter 2023 vs. 2022
Operating revenue decreased 8%, primarily reflecting:
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases decreased 25%, primarily due to lower commodity costs for electric utilities, which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.
Other operations and maintenance remained substantially consistent, primarily due to a decrease in certain expenditures which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income ($60 million), partially offset by an increase in storm damage and restoration costs ($27 million), an increase in salaries, wages and benefits and administrative costs ($26 million), an increase from the combination of certain riders into base rates as a result of 2023 Virginia legislation ($15 million) and an increase in bad debt expense ($10 million).
Impairment of assets and other charges decreased $34 million, primarily due to a net decrease in dismantling costs and other activities associated with certain retired electric generation facilities.
77
Interest and related charges increased 28%, primarily due to increased commercial paper, long-term debt and intercompany borrowings with Dominion Energy ($42 million) and higher interest rates on commercial paper, long-term debt and intercompany borrowings with Dominion Energy ($11 million), partially offset by decreased interest expense associated with rider deferrals ($11 million).
Income tax expense increased 95%, primarily due to lower interim period allocation of investment tax credits.
Year-To-Date 2023 vs. 2022
Operating revenue increased 1%, primarily reflecting:
These increases were partially offset by:
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 10%, primarily due to higher commodity costs for electric utilities ($175 million) and an increase in the use of purchased renewable energy credits ($63 million), partially offset by a $13 million decrease in PJM off-system sales, which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.
Other operations and maintenance decreased 10%, primarily due to a decrease in certain expenditures which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income ($163 million) and a decrease in storm damage and restoration costs ($84 million), partially offset by an increase in salaries, wages and benefits and administrative costs ($43 million), an increase in outside services ($34 million) and an increase from the combination of certain riders into base rates as a result of 2023 Virginia legislation ($15 million).
Impairment of assets and other charges decreased 93%, primarily due to the absence of a charge in connection with a comprehensive settlement agreement for Virginia fuel expenses ($191 million), the absence of a charge for RGGI compliance costs deemed recovered through base rates ($180 million) and a net decrease in dismantling costs and other activities associated with certain retired electric generation facilities ($70 million), partially offset by a charge for the write-off of certain previously deferred amounts related to the cessation of certain riders effective July 2023 ($36 million).
Other income increased $120 million, primarily due to net investment gains in 2023 compared to net investment losses in 2022 on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
Interest and related charges increased 25%, primarily due to increased commercial paper, long-term debt and intercompany borrowings with Dominion Energy ($114 million) and higher interest rates on commercial paper, long-term debt and intercompany borrowings with Dominion Energy ($33 million), partially offset by decreased interest expense associated with rider deferrals ($30 million).
Income tax expense increased $190 million, primarily due to higher pre-tax income ($100 million) and lower interim period allocation of investment tax credits ($97 million).

Segment Results of Operations
Segment results include the impact of intersegment revenues and expenses, which may result in intersegment profit and loss. In September 2023, Dominion Energy revised its operating segments subsequent to entering agreements for the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions as well as completing the sale of its noncontrolling interest in Cove Point. See Notes 1 and 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. 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:

Corporate and Other includes specific items attributable to Dominion Energy’s primary operating segments that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segments' performance or in allocating resources. See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for discussion of these items in more detail. Corporate and Other also includes items attributable to the Corporate and Other segment. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, other than the effects of required interim period provision for income taxes, this primarily included a $939 million charge to reflect the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of stock associated with East Ohio, PSNC, Questar Gas and Wexpro meeting the classification as held for sale that will reverse when the sale is completed, $385 million net income from discontinued operations, primarily associated with operations included in the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions and Dominion Energy's noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, including the gain on sale, and a $218 million after-tax benefit for derivative mark-to-market changes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, other than the effects of required interim period provision for income taxes, this primarily included a $939 million charge to reflect the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of stock associated with East Ohio, PSNC, Questar Gas and Wexpro meeting the classification as held for sale that will reverse when the sale is completed, $834 million net income from discontinued operations, primarily associated with operations included in the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions and Dominion Energy's noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, including the gain on sale, a $209 million after-tax benefit for derivative mark-to-market changes and a $71 million after-tax charge associated with the impairment of a corporate office building.
81
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, other than the effects of required interim period provision for income taxes, this primarily included $152 million net income from discontinued operations, primarily associated with operations included in the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions and Dominion Energy's noncontrolling interest in Cove Point. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other than the effects of required interim period provision for income taxes, this primarily included $775 million net income from discontinued operations, primarily associated with operations included in the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions and Dominion Energy's noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, a $228 million after-tax benefit for derivative mark-to-market changes and an $82 million loss associated with the sale of Hope.
Outlook
As of September 30, 2023, other than the following matters there have been no material changes to Dominion Energy’s 2023 outlook as described in Item 7. MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. As discussed in Future Issues and Other Matters, legislation enacted in Virginia in April 2023 is expected to decrease Dominion Energy’s 2023 net income for riders combined into base rates effective July 2023. In addition, Dominion Energy's 2023 net income increased for the gain on sale of its noncontrolling interest in Cove Point completed in September 2023 which will be partially offset by the absence of future earnings from Cove Point.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Dominion Energy depends on both cash generated from operations and external sources of liquidity to provide working capital and as a bridge to long-term financings. Dominion Energy’s material cash requirements include capital and investment expenditures, repaying short-term and long-term debt obligations and paying dividends on its common and preferred stock. This section should be read in conjunction with Item 7. MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by Dominion Energy's operating activities increased $2.5 billion, inclusive of a $377 million decrease from discontinued operations. Net cash provided by continuing operations increased $2.9 billion primarily due to higher deferred fuel and purchased gas cost recoveries ($2.3 billion), lower margin deposits ($470 million), a decrease in refund payments to Virginia electric customers associated with the settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review ($296 million) and a $247 million increase primarily due to lower income tax payments, partially offset by an increase in interest payments driven by higher interest rates and borrowings ($377 million).
Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s investing activities decreased $428 million, primarily due to net proceeds from the sale of the remaining noncontrolling interest in Cove Point ($3.3 billion) and lower acquisitions of solar development projects ($125 million), substantially offset by an increase in plant construction and other property additions ($1.9 billion), the absence of net proceeds from the sale of Hope ($722 million), a decrease in proceeds from the sale of assets and equity method investments ($114 million), the absence of withdrawals from Kewaunee's nuclear decommissioning trust ($80 million) and increased contributions to equity method affiliates ($45 million).
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s financing activities was $1.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This change is primarily due to a $5.4 billion decrease due to net repayments of long-term debt in 2023 versus net issuances in 2022, the absence of the settlement of the stock purchase contract component of the 2019 Equity Units in 2022 ($1.6 billion) and lower net issuances of short-term debt ($267 million), partially offset by the net borrowings on the 364-day term loan facility ($2.7 billion) and the absence of the redemption of Series A Preferred Stock in 2022 ($1.6 billion).
82
Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy generally uses proceeds from short-term borrowings, including commercial paper, to satisfy short-term cash requirements not met through cash from operations. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the year, depending on the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. There have been no significant changes to Dominion Energy’s use of credit facilities and/or short-term debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Joint Revolving Credit Facility
Dominion Energy maintains a $6.0 billion joint revolving credit facility which provides for a discount in the pricing of certain annual fees and amounts borrowed by Dominion Energy under the facility if Dominion Energy achieves certain annual renewable electric generation and diversity and inclusion objectives. At September 30, 2023, Dominion Energy had $2.6 billion of unused capacity under its joint revolving credit facility. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for the balances of commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding.
Dominion Energy Reliability InvestmentSM Program
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 September 30, 2023, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $423 million with respect to such notes presented within short-term debt. The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.
Other Facilities
In addition to the primary sources of short-term liquidity discussed above, from time to time Dominion Energy enters into separate supplementary credit facilities or term loans as discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
In January 2023, Dominion Energy entered into a $2.5 billion 364-day term loan facility which bears interest at a variable rate and will mature in January 2024 with the proceeds to be used to repay existing long-term debt and short-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes. Concurrently, Dominion Energy borrowed an initial $1.0 billion with the proceeds used to repay long-term debt. In February and March 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $500 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes and to repay long-term debt.
In July 2023, Dominion Energy entered into two $600 million 364-day term loan facilities which bore interest at a variable rate and were scheduled to mature in July 2024 with the proceeds to be used to repay existing long-term debt and/or short-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes. Subsequently in July 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed an initial $750 million in the aggregate under these facilities with the proceeds used to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. Dominion Energy was permitted to make up to three additional borrowings under each agreement through November 2023, at which point any unused capacity would cease to be available to Dominion Energy. The agreements contained certain mandatory early repayment provisions, including that any after-tax proceeds in connection with a sale of Dominion Energy’s noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, following the repayment of DECP Holding’s term loan secured by its noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, be applied to any outstanding borrowings under the facilities. In September 2023, Dominion Energy repaid the $750 million borrowing with after-tax proceeds from the sale of Dominion Energy’s noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, as discussed in Note 10. Subsequently in September 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $225 million in the aggregate under these facilities with the proceeds used to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. In October 2023, Dominion Energy repaid the $225 million borrowing and terminated the facilities along with any remaining unused commitments.
In October 2023, Dominion Energy entered into a $2.25 billion 364-Day term loan facility which bears interest at a variable rate and will mature in October 2024 with the proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. Concurrently, Dominion Energy borrowed an initial $1.0 billion with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes, including to repay short-term and long-term debt. Dominion Energy is permitted to make up to three additional borrowings under the agreement through February 2024, at which point any unused capacity will cease to be available to Dominion Energy. Dominion Energy also has the ability through August 2024 to request an increase in the amount of this facility by up to an additional $500 million. The agreement contains certain mandatory early repayment provisions, including that any after-tax proceeds in connection with the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions, following the repayment of the 364-day term loan facility entered into in January 2023, be applied to any outstanding borrowings under this facility. The maximum allowed total debt to total capital ratio under this facility is consistent with such allowed ratio under Dominion Energy’s joint revolving credit facility.
83
Long-Term Debt
Sustainability Revolving Credit Agreement
Dominion Energy maintains a $900 million Sustainability Revolving Credit Agreement which matures in 2024 and bears interest at a variable rate. The facility offers a reduced interest rate margin with respect to borrowed amounts allocated to certain environmental sustainability or social investment initiatives. In March 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $450 million with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes. In April 2023, Dominion Energy repaid $450 million borrowed for general corporate purposes. In September 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $450 million under this facility with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2023, Dominion Energy had $900 million borrowed, $450 million to support environmental sustainability and social investment initiatives and $450 million for general corporate purposes. In October 2023, Dominion Energy repaid $450 million borrowed for general corporate purposes.
Issuances and Borrowings of Long-Term Debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Dominion Energy issued or borrowed the following long-term debt. Unless otherwise noted, the proceeds were used for the repayment of existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

In October 2023, DESC issued $500 million of 6.25% first mortgage bonds that mature in 2053.
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.
As the comprehensive business review announced in November 2022 is still in progress, Dominion Energy is uncertain as to the amount of long-term debt it anticipates issuing in 2023. Dominion Energy expects to issue long-term debt to satisfy cash needs for capital expenditures and maturing long-term debt to the extent such amounts are not satisfied from cash available from operations following the payment of dividends and any borrowings made from unused capacity of Dominion Energy’s credit facilities discussed above. The raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory requirements, including registration with the SEC for certain issuances.
Repayments, Repurchases and Redemptions of Long-Term Debt
Dominion Energy may from time to time reduce its outstanding debt and level of interest expense through redemption of debt securities prior to maturity or repurchases of debt securities in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers or otherwise.
The following long-term debt was repaid, repurchased or redeemed during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information regarding scheduled maturities of Dominion Energy’s long-term debt, including related average interest rates.
As discussed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, DECP Holding's term loan secured by its noncontrolling interest in Cove Point was repaid in connection with Dominion Energy's sale of its 50% noncontrolling limited partnership interest in Cove Point to BHE in September 2023.
Remarketing of Long-Term Debt
In June 2023, Virginia Power remarketed three series of tax-exempt bonds, with an aggregate outstanding principal of $160 million to new investors. All three series of bonds will bear interest at a coupon of 3.65% until October 2027, after which they will bear interest at a market rate to be determined at that time. Dominion Energy does not expect to remarket any other long-term debt in 2023.
Credit Ratings
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings affect its liquidity, cost of borrowing under credit facilities and collateral posting requirements under commodity contracts, as well as the rates at which it is able to offer debt securities. The credit ratings for Dominion Energy are affected by its financial profile, mix of regulated and nonregulated businesses and respective cash flows, changes in methodologies used by the ratings agencies and event risk, if applicable, such as major acquisitions or dispositions. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and should be evaluated independently of any other rating. In April 2023, Standard & Poor’s affirmed its credit ratings but revised its outlook for Dominion Energy from stable to negative. Dominion Energy cannot predict the potential impact the negative outlook at Standard & Poor’s could have on its liquidity, cost of borrowing under credit facilities and collateral posting requirements under commodity contracts, as well as the rates at which it is able to offer debt securities. There have been no other changes in Dominion Energy’s credit ratings from those described in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Financial Covenants
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy is subject to various covenants present in the enabling agreements underlying Dominion Energy’s debt. As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to covenants, nor any events of default under Dominion Energy’s covenants.
Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Other Equity Securities
In the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, there is a discussion of Dominion Energy’s existing equity financing programs, including an at-the-market program and Dominion Energy Direct®. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Dominion Energy issued $91 million of stock through these programs. Dominion Energy's at-the-market program expired in June 2023. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information.
As the comprehensive business review announced in November 2022 is still in progress, Dominion Energy is uncertain as to the amount of common stock that it anticipates issuing in 2023. However, Dominion Energy anticipates raising similar amounts of capital through Dominion Energy Direct® in 2023 compared to 2022 and 2021. The raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory requirements, including registration with the SEC for certain issuances.
As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to the Board of Directors authorization to repurchase Dominion Energy stock, or the remaining available capacity under this authorization, disclosed in the Repurchases of Equity Securities section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Dominion Energy has not repurchased through September 30, 2023 and does not plan to repurchase in the remainder of 2023 any shares of its common stock, except for shares tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock.
Capital Expenditures
As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to Dominion Energy’s expectation for planned capital expenditures as disclosed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
85
Dividends
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. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information regarding Dominion Energy’s outstanding preferred stock and associated dividend rates.
Subsidiary Dividend Restrictions
As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to the subsidiary dividend restrictions disclosed in the Dividends section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Collateral and Credit Risk
As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to the collateral requirements disclosed in the Collateral and Credit Risk section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
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 at September 30, 2023 for these activities. Gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- or off-balance sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights.

Future Issues and Other Matters
See Item 1. Business, Future Issues and Other Matters in MD&A and Notes 13 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Notes 13 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information on various environmental, regulatory, legal and other matters that may impact future results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Business Review
In November 2022, Dominion Energy announced the commencement of a business review of value-maximizing strategic business actions, alternatives to its current business mix and capital allocation and regulatory options which may assist customers to manage costs and provide greater predictability to its long-term, state-regulated utility value proposition. In April 2023, the legislative process in Virginia was substantially completed resulting in new legislation which shifts $350 million of annual revenue requirement for costs recovered through riders into base rates effective July 2023, eliminates the ability of Virginia Power to utilize CCROs and adjusts the parameters for determining an authorized ROE and revenue sharing. In addition, new legislation allows Virginia Power to apply for the securitization of certain deferred fuel costs as well as seek approval for a noncontrolling equity financing partner for the CVOW Commercial Project. In September 2023, Dominion Energy entered agreements to sell East Ohio, PSNC, Questar Gas and Wexpro to Enbridge and completed the sale of its 50% noncontrolling limited partner interest in Cove Point to BHE under the agreement signed in July 2023 as discussed in Notes 3 and 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. Dominion Energy is evaluating a potential divestiture of a noncontrolling equity interest in the CVOW Commercial Project as the final strategic component of the on-going business review. While the ultimate impacts cannot be estimated until the review is completed, which is expected to occur by the end of 2023 or early 2024, implementation of recommendations resulting from the business review could have a material impact on Dominion Energy's future results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Virginia Legislation
The 2023 General Assembly session in Virginia included several proposals, including those ultimately enacted into law, related to Virginia Power’s retail base rates and other cost recovery mechanisms. In April 2023, legislation was enacted that amended several key provisions of the Regulation Act, as previously amended by the GTSA. The new legislation will shift $350 million of annual revenue requirement for costs currently recovered under riders into base rates effective July 2023, eliminate the ability of Virginia Power to utilize CCROs and adjust the parameters for determining an authorized ROE and revenue sharing. In addition, this legislation reestablishes biennial base rate reviews, sets a target capitalization ratio and permits Virginia Power to apply for the securitization of certain deferred fuel costs. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. In March 2023, legislation was enacted that permits Virginia Power to seek approval for a noncontrolling equity financing partner for the CVOW Commercial Project. In addition, in May 2023 legislation was enacted that amended certain portions of the VCEA, which qualifies generation produced by Virginia Power’s biomass electric generating stations as renewable energy and eliminates the mandated retirement by the end of 2028 of such facilities. While Dominion Energy is unable to estimate the ultimate financial statement impacts related to the newly enacted legislation, it expects there could be a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Dominion Energy Virginia – CVOW Commercial Project
In October 2023, Virginia Power received a record of decision from the Bureau of Ocean Management for construction of the CVOW Commercial Project. As a result, Virginia Power commenced major onshore construction activities in November 2023 and anticipates commencing major offshore construction activities in the first half of 2024. The project is expected to be placed in service by the end of 2026 at a total cost of approximately $10 billion, excluding financing costs. Virginia Power’s estimate for the 2.6 GW project’s projected levelized cost of energy is approximately $75-85/MWh.
Future Environmental Regulations
In March 2023, the EPA released a proposed rule to further revise the Effluent Limitations Guidelines for the Steam Electric Power Generating Category, which apply primarily to wastewater discharges at coal and oil steam generating stations. Also in March 2023, the EPA released its first proposed rule to establish national drinking water standards for PFAS. Dominion Energy anticipates that the EPA will release additional rulemakings as part of an overall strategy to identify and mitigate PFAS exposure. In April 2023, the EPA released a proposal to tighten aspects of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, including the reduction of emissions limits for filterable particulate matter, and requiring the use of continuous emissions monitoring systems to demonstrate compliance. In May

2023, the EPA proposed a package of rules designed to reduce CO2 emissions from certain fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. The proposal sets standards of performance and emission guidelines for CO2 emissions from new gas-fired combustion turbines and modified coal-fired steam generating units. The proposed rulemaking package also proposes emission guidelines, including presumptive emission limits, for existing coal, oil and gas-fired steam generating units and certain gas-fired combustion turbines. Also in May 2023, the EPA released a proposed rule to regulate inactive surface impoundments located at retired generating stations that contained CCR and liquids after October 2015, and certain other inactive or previously closed surface impoundments, landfills or other areas that contain accumulations of CCR. Until the EPA ultimately takes final action on these rulemakings, Dominion Energy is 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 Dominion Energy’s financial condition and cash flows.
Federal Income Tax Laws
In April 2023, the IRS issued safe harbor guidance to taxpayers on the treatment of amounts paid to repair, maintain, replace, or improve natural gas distribution property, including whether expenditures should be deducted as repairs or capitalized and depreciated on tax returns. The guidance includes safe harbor tax accounting methods which a taxpayer may choose to elect and provides special transition rules and incentives that vary depending on which tax year is the year of change. Dominion Energy is evaluating this new guidance and while it cannot currently estimate the potential financial statement impacts, it does not expect a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows based on its expectation that the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions will close in 2024.
Offshore Wind Vessel Leasing Arrangement
In December 2020, Dominion Energy signed an agreement (subsequently amended in December 2022 and May 2023) with a lessor to complete construction of and lease a Jones Act compliant offshore wind installation vessel. This vessel is designed to handle current turbine technologies as well as next generation turbines. The lessor is providing equity and has obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $625 million, to fund the estimated project costs. The project is expected to be completed in late 2024 or early 2025. The initial lease term will commence once construction is substantially complete and the vessel is delivered and will mature in November 2027. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information.
Southeast Energy Exchange Market
In July 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated certain of FERC’s previous orders authorizing the SEEM market, including the tariff amendments to provide transmission service for transactions in SEEM. Until FERC takes further action, Dominion Energy is unable to estimate the potential financial statement impacts.
Dominion Energy South Carolina - Nuclear Operating License
In August 2023, DESC filed an application with the NRC to renew the operating license for Unit 1 at Summer for an additional 20 years. Under its current license, the nuclear unit is allowed to generate electricity through 2042. A relicensing would extend its life through 2062. The existing regulatory framework in South Carolina provides a rate recovery mechanism for costs incurred on the relicensing process.

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, foreign currency exchange rates and equity securities 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 Companies’ exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk is related to certain fixed price contracts associated with the CVOW Commercial Project which it manages through foreign currency exchange rate derivatives. The contracts include services denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for approximately €2.6 billion and 5.1 billion kr. In addition, certain of the fixed price contracts, approximately €0.7 billion, contain commodity indexing provisions linked to steel.
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, interest rates or foreign currency exchange 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 of $77 million and $52 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $25 million in the fair value of Virginia Power’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
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. For variable rate debt outstanding for Dominion Energy, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would result in a $44 million and $37 million decrease in earnings at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For variable rate debt outstanding for Virginia Power, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would result in a $15 million and $14 million decrease in earnings at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Companies also use interest rate derivatives, including forward-starting swaps, interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements to manage interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2023, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $10.4 billion and $2.8 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 $242 million and $118 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at September 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $12.7 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives
89
outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $274 million and $156 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2022.
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.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Companies utilize foreign currency swaps to economically hedge the foreign currency exchange risk associated with fixed price contracts related to the CVOW Commercial Project denominated in foreign currencies. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had €2.4 billion and €2.9 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these foreign currency forward purchase agreements outstanding. A hypothetical 10% increase in exchange rates would have resulted in a decrease of $239 million and $284 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s foreign currency swaps at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The impact of a change in exchange rates on the Companies’ foreign currency-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 foreign exchange 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 $409 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and net investment losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $1.2 billion and $888 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments as well as any other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Dominion Energy recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $14 million, $253 million and $196 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.
Virginia Power recognized net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $206 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and net investment losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $593 million and $426 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments as well as any other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Virginia Power recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $8 million, $137 million and $106 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.
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.
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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Companies are parties to various legal, environmental or other regulatory proceedings, including in the ordinary course of business. SEC regulations require disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that the Companies reasonably believe will exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to the SEC regulations, the Companies use a threshold of $1 million for such proceedings.
See the following for discussions on various legal, environmental and other regulatory proceedings to which the Companies are a party, which information is incorporated herein by reference:
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Companies’ businesses are influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and are often beyond the Companies’ control. A number of these risk factors have been identified in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which should be taken into consideration when reviewing the information contained in this report. Other than the risk factor discussed below, there have been no material changes with regard to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement or projection contained in this report, see Forward-Looking Statements in MD&A in this report.
Dominion Energy may be unable to complete one or all the proposed sales of certain regulated gas distribution operations to Enbridge under the current terms and/or expected timing. The ability of Dominion Energy to complete the East Ohio, PSNC and Questar Gas Transactions, each of which are not conditioned upon the completion of the others, is dependent upon receiving clearance or approval under or by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, CFIUS, FCC and applicable state utility commissions, including the North Carolina, Utah and Wyoming Commissions, as well as other customary closing and regulatory conditions. The ability to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for each sale as well as the timing of such approvals is outside of Dominion Energy’s control. In addition, the terms and conditions associated with such approvals may result in additional requirements or obligations which may be burdensome or potentially result in the inability to complete one or all of the proposed sales under the current terms and/or expected timing. Such events could negatively impact Dominion Energy’s ability to implement certain of the recommendations in connection with the comprehensive business review announced in November 2022 as well as have a material adverse effect on Dominion Energy’s reputation, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
