Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations | Note 1. Nature Of Operations Dominion Energy, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is one of the nation’s largest producers and transporters of energy. Dominion Energy’s operations are conducted through various subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Dominion Energy’s operations also include DESC, an equity investment in Atlantic Coast Pipeline and regulated gas distribution operations primarily in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S. Dominion Energy’s nonregulated operations include merchant generation and retail energy marketing operations. See Note 3 for a description of operations acquired in the SCANA Combination. Beginning December 2019, Dominion Energy manages its daily operations through five primary operating segments: Dominion Energy Virginia, Gas Transmission & Storage, Gas Distribution, Dominion Energy South Carolina and Contracted Generation. Dominion Energy also reports a Corporate and Other segment, which includes its corporate, service company and other functions (including unallocated debt). In addition, Corporate and Other includes specific items attributable to Dominion Energy’s operating segments that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segments’ performance or in allocating resources. Virginia Power is a regulated public utility that generates, transmits and distributes electricity for sale in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Virginia Power is a member of PJM, an RTO, and its electric transmission facilities are integrated into the PJM wholesale electricity markets. All of Virginia Power’s stock is owned by Dominion Energy. Beginning in December 2019, Virginia Power manages its daily operations through one primary operating segment: Dominion Energy Virginia. It also reports a Corporate and Other segment that primarily includes specific items attributable to its operating segment that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segment’s performance or in allocating resources. Dominion Energy Gas is a holding company that conducts business activities through FERC-regulated interstate natural gas transmission pipeline and underground storage systems in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S., as well as the Cove Point LNG Facility. In addition, Dominion Energy Gas owns a 50% noncontrolling interest in both Iroquois and White River Hub. See Note 3 for more information on the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring. All of Dominion Energy Gas’ membership interests are held by Dominion Energy. Beginning in December 2019, Dominion Energy Gas manages its daily operations through one primary operating segment: Gas Transmission & Storage. It also reports a Corporate and Other segment that primarily includes specific items attributable to its operating segment that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segment’s performance or in allocating resources and the effect of certain items recorded at Dominion Energy Gas as a result of Dominion Energy’s basis in the net assets contributed. In addition, Corporate and Other includes the net impact of discontinued operations, which is discussed in Note 3. See Note 26 for further discussion of the Companies’ operating segments. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies General 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, expenses and cash flows for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Companies’ Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, their accounts, those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly-owned 25 are The Companies report certain contracts, instruments and investments at fair value. See Note 6 for further information on fair value measurements. The Companies consider acquisitions or dispositions in which substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated into a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to be an acquisition or a disposition of an asset, rather than a business. See Notes 3 and 10 for further information on such transactions. Dominion Energy maintains pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas participate in certain of these plans. See Note 22 for further information on these plans. Certain amounts in the Companies’ 2018 and 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 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 and/or Dominion Energy Gas, where applicable. Operating Revenue Operating revenue is recorded on the basis of services rendered, commodities delivered, or contracts settled and includes amounts yet to be billed to customers. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power collect sales, consumption and consumer utility taxes and Dominion Energy Gas collects sales taxes; however, these amounts are excluded from revenue. Dominion Energy’s customer receivables at December 31, 2019 and 2018 included $896 million and $626 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of electricity and natural gas delivered but not yet billed to its utility customers. Virginia Power’s customer receivables at December 31, 2019 and 2018 included $512 million and $392 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of electricity delivered but not yet billed to its customers. Dominion Energy Gas’ customer receivables at December 31, 2019 and 2018 included $104 million and $101 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of natural gas delivered but not yet billed to its customers. See Note 25 for amounts attributable to related parties. The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: Revenue from Contracts with Customers • Regulated electric sales • Nonregulated electric sales • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Regulated gas transportation and storage sales • Nonregulated gas transportation and storage sales • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue Other Revenue • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated electric sales • Nonregulated electric sales • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Gas transportation and storage sales • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Virginia Power, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: Revenue from Contracts with Customers • Regulated electric sales • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue non-jurisdictional Other Revenue • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Virginia Power, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated electric sales • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy Gas, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: Revenue from Contracts with Customers • Regulated gas sales—wholesale • Nonregulated gas sales • Regulated gas transportation and storage sales • Nonregulated gas transportation and storage sales • Management service revenue • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue Other Revenue • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy Gas, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Gas transportation and storage sales • Other revenue O perating revenue for East Ohio and DGP consists primarily of state-regulated natural gas sales and related distribution services, state-regulated gas distribution charges to retail distribution service customers opting for alternate suppliers and sales of NGL gathering and processing activities, and is included in net income from discontinued operations in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income through November 6, 2019. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record refunds to customers as required by state commissions as a reduction to regulated electric sales or regulated gas sales, as applicable. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s revenue accounted for under the alternative revenue program guidance primarily consists of the equity return for under-recovery of certain riders. Alternative revenue programs compensate Dominion Energy and Virginia Power for certain projects and initiatives. Revenues arising from these programs are presented separately from revenue arising from contracts with customers in the categories above. Revenues from electric and gas sales are recognized over time, as the customers of the Companies consume gas and electricity as it is delivered. Transportation and storage contracts are primarily stand-ready service contracts that include fixed reservation and variable usage fees. LNG terminalling services are also stand-ready service contracts, primarily consisting of fixed fees, offset by service credits associated with the start-up Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas typically receive or retain NGLs and natural gas from customers when providing natural gas processing, transportation or storage services. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas record the fair value of NGLs received during natural gas processing as service revenue recognized over time, and continue to recognize revenue from the subsequent sale of the NGLs to customers upon delivery. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas typically retain natural gas under certain transportation service arrangements that are intended to facilitate performance of the service and allow for natural losses that occur. As the intent of the allowance is to enable fulfillment of the contract rather than to provide compensation for services, the fuel allowance is not included in revenue. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations. In order to minimize overall credit risk, credit policies are maintained, including the evaluation of counterparty financial condition, collateral requirements and the use of standardized agreements that facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty. In addition, counterparties may make available collateral, including letters of credit or cash held as margin deposits, as a result of exceeding agreed-upon credit limits, or may be required to prepay the transaction. The Companies maintain a provision for credit losses based on factors surrounding the credit risk of their customers, historical trends and other information. Management believes, based on credit policies and the December 31, 2019 provision for credit losses, that it is unlikely that a material adverse effect on financial position, results of operations or cash flows would occur as a result of counterparty nonperformance. Effective January 2020, expected credit losses will be estimated and recorded based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of financial assets held at amortized cost as well as expected credit losses on commitments with respect to financial guarantees. Electric Fuel, Purchased Energy and Purchased Gas-Deferred Where permitted by regulatory authorities, the differences between Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s actual electric fuel and purchased energy expenses and Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ purchased gas expenses and the related levels of recovery for these expenses in current rates are deferred and matched against recoveries in future periods. The deferral of costs in excess of current period fuel rate recovery is recognized as a regulatory asset, while rate recovery in excess of current period fuel expenses is recognized as a regulatory liability. Of the cost of fuel used in electric generation and energy purchases to serve Virginia utility customers, at December 31, 2019, approximately 84% is subject to Virginia Power’s deferred fuel accounting, while substantially all of the remaining amount is subject to recovery through similar mechanisms. Virtually all of East Ohio, Questar Gas, Hope, DESC and PSNC’s natural gas purchases are either subject to deferral accounting or are recovered from the customer in the same accounting period as the sale. Income Taxes A consolidated federal income tax return is filed for Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ subsidiaries. In addition, where applicable, combined income tax returns for Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries are filed in various states; otherwise, separate state income tax returns are filed. Although Dominion Energy Gas and certain of its subsidiaries are disregarded for income tax purposes, a provision for income taxes is recognized to reflect the inclusion of its business activities in the tax returns of its parent, Dominion Energy. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas participate in intercompany tax sharing agreements with Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries. Current income taxes are based on taxable income or loss and credits determined on a separate company basis. Under the agreements, if a subsidiary incurs a tax loss or earns a credit, recognition of current income tax benefits is limited to refunds of prior year taxes obtained by the carryback of the net operating loss or credit or to the extent the tax loss or credit is absorbed by the taxable income of other Dominion Energy consolidated group members. Otherwise, the net operating loss or credit is carried forward and is recognized as a deferred tax asset until realized. The 2017 Tax Reform Act included a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting the Companies, including changes in corporate tax rates and business deductions. The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduces the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are realized or settled. Thus, at the date of enactment, federal deferred taxes were remeasured based upon the new 21% tax rate. The total effect of tax rate changes on deferred tax balances was recorded as a component of the income tax provision related to continuing operations for the period in which the law is enacted, even if the assets and liabilities relate to other components of the financial statements, such as items of accumulated other comprehensive income. For Dominion Energy subsidiaries that are not rate-regulated utilities, existing deferred income tax assets or liabilities were adjusted for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate and allocated to continuing operations. Dominion Energy’s rate-regulated utility subsidiaries likewise were required to adjust deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the change in income tax rates. However, if it is probable that the effect of the change in income tax rates will be recovered or refunded in future rates, the regulated utility recorded a regulatory asset or liability instead of an increase or decrease to deferred income tax expense. Accounting for income taxes involves an asset and liability approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided, representing future effects on income taxes for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Accordingly, deferred taxes are recognized for the future consequences of different treatments used for the reporting of transactions in financial accounting and income tax returns. The Companies establish a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not The Companies recognize positions taken, or expected to be taken, in income tax returns that are more-likely-than-not If it is not more-likely-than-not The Companies recognize interest on underpayments and overpayments of income taxes in interest expense and other income, respectively. Penalties are also recognized in other income. Interest expense for the Companies was immaterial in 2019 and 2018. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power both recognized interest income of $11 million in 2017. Dominion Energy Gas’ interest was immaterial in 2017. The Companies’ penalties were immaterial in 2019, 2018 and 2017. At December 31, 2019, Virginia Power had an income tax-related In addition, Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019 included $10 million of state income taxes receivable. State income taxes receivable at Virginia Power were immaterial at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2018, Virginia Power had an income tax-related In addition, Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 included $15 million of state income taxes receivable. State income taxes receivable at Virginia Power were immaterial at December 31, 2018. Investment tax credits are recognized by nonregulated operations in the year qualifying property is placed in service. For regulated operations, investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the service lives of the properties giving rise to the credits. Production tax credits are recognized as energy is generated and sold. Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents Cash, restricted cash and equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and temporary investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Current banking arrangements generally do not require checks to be funded until they are presented for payment. The following table illustrates the checks outstanding but not yet presented for payment and recorded in accounts payable for the Companies: At December 31, 2019 2018 (millions) Dominion Energy $ 29 $ 35 Virginia Power 9 16 Dominion Energy Gas 6 7 Restricted Cash and Equivalents The Companies hold restricted cash and equivalent balances that primarily consist of amounts held for litigation settlements, customer deposits and future debt payments on SBL Holdco and Dominion Solar Projects III, Inc.’s term loan agreements and on Eagle Solar’s senior note agreement. The following table provides a reconciliation of the total cash, restricted cash and equivalents reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets to the corresponding amounts reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017: Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents at December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, (millions) Dominion Energy Cash and cash equivalents $166 $268 $120 $261 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 103 123 65 61 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $269 $391 $185 $322 Virginia Power Cash and cash equivalents $ 17 $ 29 $ 14 $ 11 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 7 9 10 — Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 24 $ 38 $ 24 $ 11 Dominion Energy Gas Cash and cash equivalents (2) $ 27 $108 $ 18 $ 76 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 12 90 39 45 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 39 $198 $ 57 $121 (1) Restricted cash and equivalent balances are presented within other current assets in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. (2) At December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, Dominion Energy Gas had $9 million, $3 million and $14 million of cash and cash equivalents included in current assets of discontinued operations, respectively. Distributions from Equity Method Investees Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas each hold investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas classify distributions from equity method investees as either cash flows from operating activities or cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows according to the nature of the distribution. Distributions received are classified on the basis of the nature of the activity of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as cash flows from operating activities) or a return of an investment (classified as cash flows from investing activities) when such information is available to Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas. Derivative Instruments The Companies are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products they market and purchase, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of their business operations. Dominion Energy uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage the commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of its business operations. Virginia Power uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage commodity and interest rate risks. Dominion Energy Gas uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures and swaps to manage commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks. All derivatives, except those for which an exception applies, are required to be reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Derivative contracts representing unrealized gain positions and purchased options are reported as derivative assets. Derivative contracts representing unrealized losses and options sold are reported as derivative liabilities. One of the exceptions to fair value accounting, normal purchases and normal sales, may be elected when the contract satisfies certain criteria, including a requirement that physical delivery of the underlying commodity is probable. Expenses and revenues resulting from deliveries under normal purchase contracts and normal sales contracts, respectively, are included in earnings at the time of contract performance. The Companies do not offset amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. Dominion Energy had margin assets of $42 million and $95 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Dominion Energy’s margin liabilities of $2 million and less than $1 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Virginia Power had margin assets of less than $1 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019. Virginia Power had no margin assets associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and no margin liabilities associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018. Dominion Energy Gas had no margin assets or liabilities associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018. See Note 7 for further information about derivatives. To manage price risk, the Companies hold derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. However, to the extent the Companies do not hold offsetting positions for such derivatives, they believe these instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate their exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. All income statement activity, including amounts realized upon settlement, is presented in operating revenue, operating expenses, interest and related charges or other income based on the nature of the underlying risk. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments result in the recognition of regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities for jurisdictions subject to cost-based rate regulation. Realized gains or losses on the derivative instruments are generally recognized when the related transactions impact earnings. Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedging Instruments In accordance with accounting guidance pertaining to derivatives and hedge accounting, the Companies designate a portion of their derivative instruments as either cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges, the cash flows from the derivatives and from the related hedged items are classified in operating cash flows. Cash Flow Hedges Dominion Energy entered into interest rate derivative instruments to hedge its forecasted interest payments related to planned debt issuances in 2014. These interest rate derivatives were designated by Dominion Energy as cash flow hedges prior to the formation of Dominion Energy Gas. For the purposes of the Dominion Energy Gas financial statements, the derivative balances, AOCI balance, and any income statement impact related to these interest rate derivative instruments entered into by Dominion Energy have been, and will continue to be, included in the Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Financial Statements as the forecasted interest payments related to the debt issuances now occur at Dominion Energy Gas. Fair Value Hedges Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at lower of original cost or fair value, if impaired. Capitalized costs include labor, materials and other direct and indirect costs such as asset retirement costs, capitalized interest and, for certain operations subject to cost-of-service In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy capitalized interest costs and AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $89 million, $134 million and $236 million, respectively. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power capitalized AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $34 million, $56 million and $37 million, respectively. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy Gas capitalized AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $31 million, $25 million and $34 million, respectively. Under Virginia law, certain Virginia jurisdictional projects qualify for current recovery of AFUDC through rate adjustment clauses. AFUDC on these projects is calculated and recorded as a regulatory asset and is not capitalized to property, plant and equipment. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power recorded $11 million, $4 million and $22 million of AFUDC related to these projects, respectively. For property subject to cost-of-service cost-of-service plant-in-service In 2019, Virginia Power had the following charges, primarily recorded in impairment of assets and other charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income (reflected in the Corporate and Other segment), related to early retirements: • In January 2019, Virginia Power committed to a plan to retire certain automated metering reading infrastructure associated with its electric operations before the end of its estimated useful life and replace such equipment with more current AMI technology. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $160 million ($119 million after-tax). • In March 2019, Virginia Power committed to retire certain electric generating units before the end of their useful lives and completed the retirement of certain units at six facilities representing 1,292 MW of electric generating capacity, which had previously been placed in cold reserve. An additional unit at Possum Point power station will be retired after it meets its capacity obligation to PJM in 2021. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $346 million ($257 million after-tax • In May 2019, Virginia Power abandoned a coal rail project at its Mt. Storm generating facility. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $62 million ($46 million after-tax). • In September 2019, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power abandoned certain property, plant and equipment before the end of its useful life. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $26 million ($19 million after-tax) after-tax). For property that is not subject to cost-of-service Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed on the straight-line method based on projected service lives. The Companies’ average composite depreciation rates on utility property, plant and equipment are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 (percent) Dominion Energy Generation 2.84 2.71 2.94 Transmission 2.47 2.54 2.55 Distribution 2.80 2.97 3.00 Storage 2.40 2.40 2.48 General and other 4.04 4.20 4.38 Virginia Power Generation 2.94 2.71 2.94 Transmission 2.54 2.52 2.54 Distribution 3.14 3.31 3.32 General and other 4.40 4.52 4.68 Dominion Energy Gas (1) Transmission 2.43 2.66 2.67 Storage 2.53 2.42 2.51 General and other 4.59 4.18 5.08 (1) Excludes rates for depreciation reported as discontinued operations. Virginia Power expects to receive an updated depreciation study for its nuclear plants in the first quarter of 2020, which is anticipated to reflect lower depreciation rates as a result of expected approval of license extensions from the NRC. In 2018, Virginia Power revised depreciation rates for regulated nuclear plants to comply with Virginia Commission requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2018, this adjustment resulted in a decrease of $60 million ($44 million after-tax) after-tax). In 2017, Virginia Power revised the depreciation rates for its assets to reflect the results of a new depreciation study. This change resulted in an increase in annual depreciation expense of $40 million ($25 million after-tax) after-tax) Virginia Power’s non-jurisdictional property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Capitalized costs of development wells and leaseholds are amortized on a field-by-field unit-of-production Dominion Energy’s nonutility property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Asset Estimated Useful Lives Merchant generation-nuclear 44 years Merchant generation-other 15-30 Nonutility gas gathering and processing 3-50 LNG facility 40 years General and other 5-59 Depreciation and amortization related to Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ nonutility property, plant and equipment and exploration and production properties was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, except for Dominion Energy Gas’ nonutility LNG facility which is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Nuclear fuel used in electric generation is amortized over its estimated service life on a units-of-production Long-Lived and Intangible Assets The Companies perform an evaluation for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets or intangible assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. A long-lived or intangible asset is written down to fair value if the sum of its expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than its carrying amount. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. See Note 6 for further discussion on the impairment of long-lived assets. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities The accounting for the Companies’ regulated electric and gas operations differs from the accounting for nonregulated operations in that the Companies are required to reflect the effect of rate regulation in their Consolidated Financial Statements. For regulated businesses subject to federal or state cost-of-service The Companies evaluate whether or not recovery of its regulatory assets through future rates is probable as well as whether a regulatory liability due to customers is probable and makes various assumptions in its analyses. These analyses are generally based on: • Orders issued by regulatory commissions, legislation and judicial actions; • Past experience; • Discussions with applicable regulatory authorities and legal counsel; • Forecasted earnings; and • Considerations around the likelihood of impacts from events such as unusual weather conditions, extreme weather events and other natural disasters and unplanned outages of facilities. Generally, regulatory assets and liabilities are amortized into income over the period authorized by the regulator. If recovery of a regulatory asset is determined to be less than probable, it will be written off in the period such assessment is made. A regulatory liability, if considered probable, will be recorded in the period such assessment is made or reversed into earnings if no longer probable. See Notes 12 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information Leases The Companies lease certain assets including vehicles, real estate, office equipment and other operational assets under both operating and finance leases. For the Companies’ operating leases, rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement, subject to regulatory framework. Rent expense associated with operating leases, short-term leases and variable leases is primarily recorded in other operations and maintenance expense in the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Income. Rent expense associated with finance leases results in the separate presentation of interest expense on the lease liability and amortization expense of the related right-of-use Certain of the Companies’ leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease from one right-of-use The determination of the discount rate utilized has a significant impact on the calculation of the present value of the lease liability included in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the Companies’ fleet of leased vehicles, the discount rate is equal to the prevailing borrowing rate earned by the lessor. For the Companies’ remaining leased assets, the discount rate implicit in the lease is generally unable to be determined from a lessee perspective. As such, the Companies use internally-developed incremental borrowing rates as a discount rate in the calculation of the present value of the lease liability. The incremental borrowing rates are determined based on an analysis of the Companies’ publicly available unsecured borrowing rates, adjusted for a collateral discount, over various lengths of time that most closely correspond to the Companies’ lease maturities. In addition, Dominion Energy acts as lessor under certain power purchase agreements in which the counterparty or counterparties purchase substantially all of the output of certain solar facilities. These leases are considered operating in nature. For such leasing arrangements, rental revenue and an associated accounts receivable are recorded when the monthly output of the solar facility is determined. Depreciation on these solar facilities is computed on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Asset Retiremen |

Acquisitions And Dispositions | Note 3. Acquisitions And Dispositions Dominion Energy Acquisition of SCANA In January 2019, Dominion Energy issued 95.6 million shares of Dominion Energy common stock, valued at $6.8 billion, representing 0.6690 of a share of Dominion Energy common stock for each share of SCANA common stock, in connection with the completion of the SCANA Combination. SCANA, through its regulated subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in the central, southern and southwestern portions of South Carolina and in the distribution of natural gas in North Carolina and South Carolina. In addition, at the closing of the SCANA Combination, SCANA marketed natural gas to retail customers in the southeast U.S. Following completion of the SCANA Combination, SCANA operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy. In addition, SCANA’s debt totaled $6.9 billion at closing. The SCANA Combination expanded Dominion Energy’s portfolio of regulated electric generation, transmission and distribution and regulated natural gas distribution infrastructure operations. Merger Approval and Conditions Merger Approval The SCANA Combination required approval of SCANA’s shareholders, FERC, the North Carolina Commission, the South Carolina Commission, the Georgia Public Service Commission and the NRC and clearance from the Federal Trade Commission under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. All such approvals were received prior to closing of the SCANA Combination. Various parties filed petitions for rehearing or reconsideration of the SCANA Merger Approval Order. In January 2019, the South Carolina Commission issued an order (1) granting the request of various parties and finding that DESC was imprudent in its actions by not disclosing material information to the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff and the South Carolina Commission with regard to costs incurred subsequent to March 2015 and (2) denying the petitions for rehearing or consideration as to other issues raised in the various petitions. The deadline to appeal the SCANA Merger Approval Order and the order on rehearing expired in April 2019, and no party has sought appeal. Refunds to Customers As a condition to the SCANA Merger Approval Order, DESC will provide refunds and restitution of $2.0 billion over 20 years with capital support from Dominion Energy. In September and October 2017, DESC received proceeds totaling $1.1 billion in full satisfaction of its share of a settlement agreement among DESC, Santee Cooper and Toshiba Corporation in connection with Westinghouse and WECTEC, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Toshiba Corporation and responsible for the engineering and construction of the NND Project, filing for bankruptcy. The purchase price allocation below includes a previously established regulatory liability at DESC totaling $1.1 billion, of which $67 million was considered current, associated with the monetization of the bankruptcy settlement with Toshiba Corporation. In accordance with the terms of the SCANA Merger Approval Order, this regulatory liability, net of amounts that may be required to satisfy any liens against NND Project property, totaling $1.0 billion will be refunded to DESC electric service customers over a 20-year Additionally, in the first quarter of 2019, DESC recorded a reduction in operating revenue and a corresponding regulatory liability of $1.0 billion, of which $137 million was considered current, representing a refund of amounts previously collected from retail electric customers of DESC for the NND Project to be credited over an estimated 11-year after-tax NND Project As a condition to the SCANA Merger Approval Order, DESC committed to excluding from rate recovery $2.4 billion of costs related to the NND Project and $180 million of costs associated with the purchase of the Columbia Energy Center power station. Regulatory assets included in SCANA’s historical balance sheet at December 31, 2018 reflected these disallowances. The remaining regulatory asset associated with the NND Project of $2.8 billion, of which $138 million was considered current, will be collected over a 20-year Other Terms and Conditions • DESC will not file an application for a general rate case with the South Carolina Commission with a requested effective date earlier than January 2021; • PSNC will not file an application for a general rate case with the North Carolina Commission with a requested effective date earlier than April 2021; • Dominion Energy has committed to increasing SCANA’s historical level of corporate contributions to charities by $1 million per year over five years; • Dominion Energy will maintain DESC and PSNC’s headquarters in Cayce, South Carolina and Gastonia, North Carolina, respectively; and • Dominion Energy will seek to minimize reductions in local employment by allowing some DES employees supporting shared and common services functions and activities to be located in Cayce, South Carolina where it makes economic and practical sense to do so. Purchase Price Allocation SCANA’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been measured at estimated fair value at closing and are included in the Dominion Energy South Carolina, Gas Transmission & Storage and Gas Distribution operating segments. The majority of the operations acquired are subject to the rate setting authority of FERC and the North and South Carolina Commissions and are therefore accounted for pursuant to ASC 980, Regulated Operations The fair value of SCANA’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are not subject to the rate-setting provisions discussed above and the fair values of SCANA’s investments accounted for under the equity method have been determined using the income approach and the market approach. The valuation of SCANA’s long-term debt is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. All other valuations are considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant judgmental and unobservable inputs, including projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future market prices. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill. The goodwill reflects the value associated with enhancing Dominion Energy’s portfolio of regulated operations in the growing southeast region of the U.S. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for income tax purposes, and as such, no deferred taxes have been recorded related to goodwill. The table below shows the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at closing, which reflects certain adjustments related to income taxes, as discussed in Note 5, from the preliminary valuation recognized during the measurement period. Amount (millions) Total current assets (1) $ 1,782 Investments (2) 224 Property, plant and equipment (3)(4) 11,006 Goodwill 2,609 Regulatory assets (5) 3,940 Other deferred charges and other assets, including intangible assets (6) 430 Total Assets 19,991 Total current liabilities (7) 1,556 Long-term debt 6,707 Deferred income taxes 1,068 Regulatory liabilities 2,706 Other deferred credits and other liabilities (8) 1,115 Total Liabilities 13,152 Total purchase price (9) $ 6,839 (1) Includes $389 million of cash, restricted cash and equivalents, of which $115 million is considered restricted. (2) Includes $31 million for equity method investments. The fair value adjustment on the equity method investments is considered to be equity method goodwill and is not amortized. ( 3 Includes $105 million of certain property, plant and equipment associated with the NND Project for which Dominion Energy committed to forgo recovery in accordance with the SCANA Merger Approval Order. As a result, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2019 include a charge of $105 million ($79 million after-tax), ( 4 Nonregulated property, plant and equipment, excluding land, will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives of such property, primarily ranging from 5 to 78 years. ( 5 Includes $258 million of certain income tax-related ( 6 Intangible assets have an estimated weighted-average amortization period of approximately five years. ( 7 Includes $40 million outstanding under letters of credit advances, which were repaid in January 2019, as well as $173 million outstanding commercial paper under various credit facilities. As discussed in Note 17, all credit facilities were terminated in 2019. ( 8 Includes a $379 million pension and other postretirement benefit liability. ( 9 Includes stock-based compensation awards with a fair value of $21 million. Results of Operations and Unaudited Pro Forma Information The impact of the SCANA Combination on Dominion Energy’s operating revenue and net income attributable to Dominion Energy in the Consolidated Statements of Income was an increase of $3.1 billion and a decrease of $1.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively. Dominion Energy incurred merger and integration-related costs of $646 million in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2019. The amount for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes $427 million for a charge related to a voluntary retirement program. See Note 22 for additional information. Of the remaining merger and integration-related costs, $210 million was recorded in other operations and maintenance expense and $9 million was recorded in interest and related charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, Dominion Energy incurred merger and integration-related costs of $27 million, recorded primarily in other operations and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. These costs consist of professional fees, the charitable contribution commitment described above, employee-related expenses, certain financing costs and other miscellaneous costs. The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the consolidated results of operations of Dominion Energy assuming the SCANA Combination had taken place on January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations that would have been achieved or the future consolidated results of operations of the combined company. Twelve 2019 (1) 2018 (1) (millions, except EPS) Operating Revenue $ 17,579 $ 17,505 Net income attributable to Dominion Energy 3,266 2,081 Earnings Per Common Share – Basic $ 4.04 $ 2.78 Earnings Per Common Share – Diluted $ 4.00 $ 2.77 (1) Amounts include adjustments for non-recurring Sale of Interest In Cove Point In October 2019, Dominion Energy signed an agreement to sell the 25% noncontrolling limited partnership interests in Cove Point not contributed to Dominion Energy Gas in the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring to Brookfield. In December 2019, the sale was completed and Dominion Energy received cash consideration of $2.1 billion, subject to working capital adjustments. The sale was accounted for by Dominion Energy following the guidance for a change in a parent company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary. Because Dominion Energy controls Cove Point both before and after the sale of the noncontrolling interest, the changes in Dominion Energy’s ownership interest in Cove Point was accounted for as an equity transaction and no gain or loss was recognized. Acquisitions of Wholly-Owned Merchant Solar Projects The following table presents significant completed acquisitions of wholly-owned merchant solar projects by Dominion Energy.

(2) Includes acquisition cost. (3) In April 2017, Dominion Energy discontinued efforts on the acquisition of the additional 20 MW solar project from Solar Frontier Americas Holding LLC. In addition during 2016, Dominion Energy acquired 100% of the equity interests of seven solar projects in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina for an aggregate purchase price of $32 million, all of which was allocated to property, plant and equipment. The projects cost $421 million in total, including initial acquisition costs, and generate 221 MW combined. One of the projects commenced commercial operations in 2016 and the remaining projects commenced commercial operations in 2017. Long-term power purchase, interconnection and operation and maintenance agreements have been executed for all of the projects described above. These projects are included in Contracted Generation. Dominion Energy has claimed federal investment tax credits on these solar projects. Dominion Energy Gas Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring The Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring is considered to be a reorganization of entities under common control. As a result, Dominion Energy Gas’ basis in DCP and DMLPHCII, which includes the general partner of Dominion Energy Midstream, a controlling 75% interest in Cove Point, DECG, Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, a 50% noncontrolling interest in White River Hub and a 25.93% noncontrolling interest in Iroquois, is equal to Dominion Energy’s cost basis in the assets and liabilities of such entities since the applicable inception dates of common control. In November 2019, following completion of the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring, DCP and DMLPHCII are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dominion Energy Gas and therefore are consolidated by Dominion Energy Gas. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes of Dominion Energy Gas have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of DCP and DMLPHCII. The 25% interest in Cove Point retained by Dominion Energy, and subsequently sold to Brookfield in December 2019, and the non-Dominion The Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring includes the disposition of East Ohio and DGP by Dominion Energy Gas in November 2019.

Income Taxes | Note 5. Income Taxes Judgment and the use of estimates are required in developing the provision for income taxes and reporting of tax-related tax-related The 2017 Tax Reform Act included a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting the Companies as discussed in Note 2. The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. At the date of enactment, deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured based upon the new 21% enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are realized or settled. The specific provisions related to regulated public utilities in the 2017 Tax Reform Act generally allow for the continued deductibility of interest expense, changed the tax depreciation of certain property acquired after September 27, 2017, and continued certain rate normalization requirements for accelerated depreciation benefits. As indicated in Note 2, certain of the Companies’ operations, including accounting for income taxes, are subject to regulatory accounting treatment. For regulated operations, many of the changes in deferred taxes represent amounts probable of collection from or refund to customers, and were recorded as either an increase to a regulatory asset or liability. The 2017 Tax Reform Act included provisions that stipulate how these excess deferred taxes may be passed back to customers for certain accelerated tax depreciation benefits. Potential refunds of other deferred taxes may be determined by the Companies’ regulators. See Note 13 for more information. The Companies have accounted for the effects of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, although changes could occur as additional guidance is issued and finalized, particularly as it relates to the deductibility of interest expense in consolidated groups such as Dominion Energy. In addition, the major states in which the Companies operate have addressed conformity with some or all of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, although some states have modified certain of these provisions. The changes in deferred taxes resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform Act, and the Companies’ interpretations of proposed regulations issued in 2018 on the applicability of accelerated depreciation, were recorded as either an increase to a regulatory liability or as an adjustment to the deferred tax provision. The impacts of proposed and final regulations issued in 2019 on the applicability of accelerated depreciation were immaterial at the Companies. Continuing Operations Details of income tax expense for continuing operations including noncontrolling interests were as follows: Dominion Energy Virginia Power Dominion Energy Gas Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 2019 2018 2017 2019 2018 2017 (millions) Current: Federal $ 32 $ (45 ) $ (1 ) $ 286 $ 36 $ 432 $ 130 $ (227 ) $ 75 State 103 108 (26 ) 58 40 73 17 31 13 Total current expense (benefit) 135 63 (27 ) 344 76 505 147 (196 ) 88 Deferred: Federal 2017 Tax Reform Act impact (1) — 46 (851 ) — 21 (93 ) — (6 ) (246 ) Taxes before operating loss carryforwards, investment tax credits and tax reform 182 436 739 (128 ) 199 319 (36 ) 343 88 Tax utilization expense (benefit) of operating loss carryforwards 119 92 174 — — 4 — — — Investment tax credits (51 ) (56 ) (200 ) (34 ) (51 ) (23 ) — — — State (93 ) (1 ) 132 22 55 59 (10 ) (17 ) 5 Total deferred expense (benefit) 157 517 (6 ) (140 ) 224 266 (46 ) 320 (153 ) Investment tax credit-gross deferral 62 2 5 62 2 5 — — — Investment tax credit-amortization (3 ) (2 ) (2 ) (2 ) (2 ) (2 ) — — — Total income tax expense (benefit) $ 351 $ 580 $ (30 ) $ 264 $ 300 $ 774 $ 101 $ 124 $ (65 ) (1) The 2017 Tax Reform Act impact for Dominion Energy Gas includes an expense of $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and a benefit of $93 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 arising from discontinued operations. The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduced the statutory federal income tax rate to 21% beginning in January 2018. Accordingly, current and deferred income taxes are recorded at the new 21% rate. In 2019, the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring caused changes in tax status at certain of its subsidiaries. The impacts of the changes in tax status decreased deferred income tax expense by $48 million at Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas. In addition, Dominion Energy recognized a taxable gain resulting from the sale of a 25% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point. The direct tax effects of the transactions included a provision for current income taxes ($362 million) and an offsetting benefit for deferred income taxes ($147 million) and were charged to common shareholders’ equity. The utilization of $208 million federal tax credit carryforwards offsetting a portion of the federal tax liability from the transaction were also charged to common shareholders’ equity. In total, the taxes recorded in common shareholders’ equity resulting from this transaction were $215 million. In 2018, Dominion Energy had less than $1 million of state deferred income tax expense as a result of the reversal of deferred taxes upon the sale of its interest in Blue Racer and Fairless and Manchester. Dominion Energy’s current federal income taxes primarily include the recognition of a $47 million benefit related to a carryback claim for specified liability losses involving prior tax years. In 2017, the accounting for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate decreased deferred income tax expense by $851 million at Dominion Energy, $93 million at Virginia Power and $246 million for Dominion Energy Gas for the year ending December 31, 2017. The decrease in deferred income taxes at Dominion Energy primarily relates to the remeasurement of deferred taxes on nonregulated operations and includes the effects at Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas have certain regulatory assets and liabilities that have not yet been charged or returned to customers through rates, or on which they do not earn a return, including unrecognized pension and other postretirement benefits. The remeasurement of the deferred taxes on these regulatory balances was charged to continuing operations in 2017. For ratemaking purposes, Dominion Energy Gas’ subsidiary DETI follows the cash method on pension contributions. Deferred taxes recorded on pension balances as required by GAAP are not included as a component of rates and therefore the remeasurement of these deferred taxes were charged to continuing operations in 2017. Discontinued Operations—Dominion Energy Gas Tax expense reported in discontinued operations for the period ended November 6, 2019 was $33 million. Tax expense reported in discontinued operations for years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 at Dominion Energy Gas was less than $1 million and $91 million, respectively. Tax expense for discontinued operations included benefits of utilizing an immaterial amount of operating loss carryforwards in 2018 and $5 million in 2017. Continuing Operations For continuing operations including noncontrolling interests, the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate reconciles to the Companies’ effective income tax rate as follows: Dominion Energy Virginia Power Dominion Energy Gas Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 2019 2018 2017 2019 2018 2017 U.S. statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 35.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % 35.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % 35.0 % Increases (reductions) resulting from: State taxes, net of federal benefit 1.3 3.0 2.0 4.5 4.7 3.7 2.5 3.2 2.6 Investment tax credits (5.7 ) (1.9 ) (6.3 ) (2.9 ) (3.5 ) (0.8 ) — — — Production tax credits (1.1 ) (0.7 ) (0.7 ) (0.7 ) (0.7 ) (0.4 ) — — — Valuation allowances 0.1 0.3 0.2 — — — (0.2 ) — 0.3 Reversal of excess deferred income taxes (2.0 ) (2.0 ) — (3.1 ) (3.2 ) — (0.8 ) (0.6 ) — Federal legislative change — 1.5 (27.5 ) — 1.3 (4.0 ) — (0.5 ) (41.0 ) State legislative change — (0.6 ) — — — — — (2.0 ) (0.7 ) Write-off 10.9 — — — — — — — — Change in tax status (2.8 ) — — — — — (6.0 ) — — AFUDC—equity (1.8 ) (0.8 ) (1.4 ) — (0.5 ) (0.6 ) (0.5 ) (0.3 ) (0.9 ) Employee stock ownership plan deduction (0.7 ) (0.4 ) (0.6 ) — — — — — — Other, net 1.1 (0.9 ) (1.7 ) (0.2 ) (0.1 ) 0.6 (3.4 ) (1) (4.4 ) (1) (6.0 ) (1) Effective tax rate 20.3 % 18.5 % (1.0 )% 18.6 % 19.0 % 33.5 % 12.6 % 16.4 % (10.7 )% (1) Includes (3.2)%, (4.6)% and (6.7)% relating to the absence of tax on noncontrolling interest in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the Companies’ rate-regulated entities, deferred taxes will reverse at the weighted average rate used to originate the deferred tax liability, which in some cases will be 35%. The Companies have recorded an estimate of excess deferred income tax amortization in 2019, and changes in estimates of amounts probable of collection from or return to customers. The reversal of these excess deferred income taxes will impact the effective tax rate, and may ultimately impact rates charged to customers. See Note 13 for current year developments. In connection with the SCANA Combination, Dominion Energy committed to forgo, or limit, the recovery of certain income tax-related In 2018, the Companies applied the provisions of proposed regulations addressing the availability of federal bonus depreciation for the period beginning after September 27, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The application of these changes increased Dominion Energy’s 2017 net operating loss carryforward, the benefit of which will be recognized at the 21% rate. As a result, Dominion Energy’s effective tax rate reflects a $23 million increase to deferred income tax expense associated with the remeasurement of this deferred tax asset. The application of these proposed regulations at Dominion Energy Gas had no impact on income tax expense as the changes in, and remeasurement of, deferred tax liabilities increased regulatory liabilities by $35 million, of which $23 million is reflected in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effects of these changes at Virginia Power were immaterial. These amounts and adjustments represent the Companies’ best estimate based on available information, and could be subject to change based on additional guidance in yet to be finalized regulations. In addition, changes in estimates of amounts probable of return to or collection from customers increased deferred income tax expense at Virginia Power by $23 million and increased regulatory liabilities by $31 million. At Dominion Energy Gas similar changes in estimates decreased income tax expense by $5 million and regulatory liabilities by $8 million. In Dominion Energy Gas’ discontinued operations, similar changes in estimates increased income tax expense by $8 million, which is reflected in income tax expense from continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income, and regulatory liabilities $10 million, which are reflected in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes also impacted Dominion Energy. In addition, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ effective tax rates reflect the impacts of a state legislative change enacted in the second quarter of 2018 that was retroactive to January 1, 2018. In 2017, the Companies’ effective tax rates reflect the net benefit of remeasurement of deferred taxes resulting from the lower corporate income tax rate promulgated by the 2017 Tax Reform Act, and the completion of audits by state tax authorities that resulted in the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2016, Virginia Power’s unrecognized tax benefits included state refund claims for open tax years through 2011. Management believed settlement of the claims, including interest thereon, within the next twelve months was remote. In June 2017, Virginia Power received and accepted a cash offer to settle the refund claims. As a result of the settlement, Virginia Power decreased its unrecognized tax benefits by $8 million, and recognized a $2 million tax benefit, which impacted its effective tax rate. Also in connection with this settlement, Virginia Power realized interest income of $11 million, which is reflected in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Companies’ deferred income taxes consist of the following: Dominion Energy Virginia Power Dominion Energy At December 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 (millions) Deferred income taxes: Total deferred income tax assets $ 3,736 $ 2,748 $ 1,207 $ 1,054 $ 206 $ 296 Total deferred income tax liabilities 9,883 7,813 4,058 4,020 1,494 1,626 Total net deferred income tax liabilities $ 6,147 $ 5,065 $ 2,851 $2,966 $1,288 $ 1,330 Total deferred income taxes: Plant and equipment, primarily depreciation method and basis differences $ 6,616 $ 4,933 $ 3,359 $ 3,367 $ 742 $ 671 Excess deferred income taxes (1,306 ) (993 ) (672 ) (678 ) (149 ) (156 ) Unrecovered NND Project costs 553 — — — — — DESC rate refund (169 ) — — — — — Toshiba Settlement (219 ) — — — — — Nuclear decommissioning 909 815 290 273 — — Deferred state income taxes 863 626 302 284 199 203 Federal benefit of deferred state income taxes (184 ) (132 ) (63 ) (60 ) (42 ) (43 ) Deferred fuel, purchased energy and gas costs 30 60 1 59 — (1 ) Pension benefits 174 81 (153 ) (132 ) 154 134 Other postretirement benefits (37 ) (5 ) 62 55 (6 ) (3 ) Loss and credit carryforwards (1,832 ) (1,546 ) (280 ) (183 ) (1 ) (5 ) Valuation allowances 161 158 5 5 1 6 Partnership basis differences 823 1,135 — — 423 570 Other (235 ) (67 ) — (24 ) (33 ) (46 ) Total net deferred income tax liabilities $ 6,147 $ 5,065 $ 2,851 $2,966 $1,288 $ 1,330 Deferred Investment Tax Credits – Regulated Operations 130 51 111 51 — — Total Deferred Taxes and Deferred Investment Tax Credits $ 6,277 $ 5,116 $ 2,962 $3,017 $1,288 $ 1,330 The most significant impact reflected for the 2017 Tax Reform Act is the adjustment of the net accumulated deferred income tax liability for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate to 21%. In addition to amounts recognized in deferred income tax expense, the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act decreased the accumulated deferred income tax liability by $3.1 billion at Dominion Energy, $1.9 billion at Virginia Power and $0.8 billion at Dominion Energy Gas at December 31, 2017, of which $0.4 billion is reflected in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At Dominion Energy, the December 31, 2017 balance sheet reflected the impact of the 2017 Tax Reform Act on our regulatory liabilities which increased our regulatory liabilities by $4.2 billion, and created a corresponding deferred tax asset of $1.1 billion. At Virginia Power, our regulatory liabilities increased $2.6 billion, and created a deferred tax asset of $0.7 billion. At Dominion Energy Gas, regulatory liabilities increased $1.1 billion, of which $0.5 billion is reflected in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and created a deferred tax asset of $0.3 billion, of which $0.1 billion is reflected in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These adjustments had no impact on 2017 cash flows. At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy had the following deductible loss and credit carryforwards: Deductible Deferred Valuation Expiration (millions) Federal losses $ 1,361 $ 286 $ — 2037 Federal investment credits — 922 — 2035-2039 Federal production credits — 126 — 2035-2039 Other federal credits — 40 — 2035-2038 State losses 3,074 173 (57 ) 2020-2038 State minimum tax credits — 165 — No expiration State investment and other credits — 144 (98 ) 2020-2031 Total $4,435 $ 1,856 $(155) At December 31, 2019, Virginia Power had the following deductible loss and credit carryforwards: Deductible Deferred Valuation Expiration (millions) Federal investment credits $ — $ 213 $ — 2035-2039 Federal production and other credits — 58 — 2035-2039 State investment credits — 9 (5 ) 2024 Total $ — $ 280 $ (5 ) At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy Gas had immaterial deductible loss carryforwards and less than $1 million of credit carryforwards that expire between 2032 and 2037. A reconciliation of changes in the Companies’ unrecognized tax benefits follows: Dominion Energy Virginia Power Dominion Energy 2019 2018 2017 2019 2018 2017 2019 2018 2017 (millions) Balance at January 1 $ 44 $ 38 $ 64 $ 2 $ 4 $ 13 $2 $ 2 $9 Acquired unrecognized tax benefits 129 (1) — — — — — — — — Increases-prior period positions — 10 1 — — — — — — Decreases-prior period positions — — (9 ) — — (1 ) — — — Increases-current period positions 9 10 5 — — — — — — Settlements with tax authorities (7 ) (6 ) (23 ) (2 ) (1 ) (8 ) — — (7 ) Expiration of statutes of limitations — (8 ) — — (1 ) — — — — Balance at December 31 $ 175 $ 44 $ 38 $ — $ 2 $ 4 $2 $ 2 $2 (1) Acquired unrecognized tax benefits reflect $106 million plus increases in prior period positions of $76 million and decreases in prior period positions of $53 million that were recorded through purchase accounting. Certain unrecognized tax benefits, or portions thereof, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Changes in these unrecognized tax benefits may result from remeasurement of amounts expected to be realized, settlements with tax authorities and expiration of statutes of limitations. For Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries, these unrecognized tax benefits were $141 million, $37 million and $31 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For Dominion Energy, the change in these unrecognized tax benefits increased income tax expense by $3 million and $5 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, and decreased income tax expense by $9 million in 2017. For Virginia Power, these unrecognized tax benefits were less than $1 million, $2 million, and $3 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For Virginia Power, the change in these unrecognized tax benefits decreased income tax expense by $2 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $6 million in 2017. For Dominion Energy Gas, these unrecognized tax benefits were $2 million, at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For Dominion Energy Gas, the change in these unrecognized tax benefits decreased income tax expense by less than $1 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $5 million in 2017. Dominion Energy participates in the IRS Compliance Assurance Process which provides the opportunity to resolve complex tax matters with the IRS before filing its federal income tax returns, thus achieving certainty for such tax return filing positions agreed to by the IRS. In 2018, Dominion Energy submitted carryback claims for specified liability losses involving prior tax years. These claims are currently subject to IRS examination. With the exception of these claims, the IRS has completed its audit of tax years through 2018. The statute of limitations has not yet expired for tax year 2014 and years after 2015. Although Dominion Energy has not received a final letter indicating no changes to its taxable income for tax year 2018, no material adjustments are expected. The IRS examination of tax year 2019 is ongoing. It is reasonably possible that settlement negotiations and expiration of statutes of limitations could result in a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits in 2020 by up to $86 million for Dominion Energy and less than $1 million for Dominion Energy Gas. If such changes were to occur, other than revisions of the accrual for interest on tax underpayments and overpayments, earnings could increase by up to $23 million for Dominion Energy and less than $1 million for Dominion Energy Gas. Otherwise, with regard to 2019 and prior years, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas cannot estimate the range of reasonably possible changes to unrecognized tax benefits that may occur in 2020. For each of the major states in which Dominion Energy operates, the earliest tax year remaining open for examination is as follows: State Earliest Pennsylvania (1) 2012 Connecticut 2016 Virginia (2) 2016 West Virginia (1) 2016 New York (1) 2015 Utah 2016 South Carolina 2012 (1) Considered a major state for Dominion Energy Gas’ operations. (2) Considered a major state for Virginia Power’s operations. The Companies are also obligated to report adjustments resulting from IRS settlements to state tax authorities. In addition, if Dominion Energy utilizes operating losses or tax credits generated in years for which the statute of limitations has expired, such amounts are generally subject to examination. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 6. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. However, the use of a mid-market mid-point value measurements to certain assets and liabilities including commodity and interest rate derivative instruments and other investments including those held in the nuclear decommissioning trust, in accordance with the requirements discussed above. Dominion Energy Gas applies fair value measurements to certain assets and liabilities including commodity, interest rate, and foreign currency derivative instruments and other investments including those held in pension and other postretirement benefit plan trusts, in accordance with the requirements described above. The Companies apply credit adjustments to their derivative fair values in accordance with the requirements described above. Inputs and Assumptions Fair value is based on actively-quoted market prices, if available. In the absence of actively-quoted market prices, price information is sought from external sources, including industry publications, and to a lesser extent, broker quotes. When evaluating pricing information provided by Designated Contract Market settlement pricing, other pricing services, or brokers, the Companies consider the ability to transact at the quoted price, i.e. if the quotes are based on an active market or an inactive market and to the extent which pricing models are used, if pricing is not readily available. If pricing information from external sources is not available, or if the Companies believe that observable pricing is not indicative of fair value, judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. In those cases the unobservable inputs are developed and substantiated using historical information, available market data, third-party data, and statistical analysis. Periodically, inputs to valuation models are reviewed and revised as needed, based on historical information, updated market data, market liquidity and relationships, and changes in third-party sources. For options and contracts with option-like characteristics where observable pricing information is not available from external sources, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power generally use a modified Black-Scholes Model that considers time value, the volatility of the underlying commodities and other relevant assumptions when estimating fair value. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power use other option models under special circumstances, including but not limited to Spread Approximation Model and a Swing Option Model. For contracts with unique characteristics, the Companies may estimate fair value using a discounted cash flow approach deemed appropriate in the circumstances and applied consistently from period to period. For individual contracts, the use of different valuation models or assumptions could have a significant effect on the contract’s estimated fair value. The inputs and assumptions used in measuring fair value include the following: For commodity derivative contracts: • Forward commodity prices • Transaction prices • Price volatility • Price correlation • Volumes • Commodity location • Interest rates • Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies • Credit enhancements • Time value For interest rate derivative contracts: • Interest rate curves • Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies • Notional value • Credit enhancements • Time value For foreign currency derivative contracts: • Foreign currency forward exchange rates • Interest rates • Credit quality of counterparties and the Companies • Notional value • Credit enhancements • Time value For investments: • Quoted securities prices and indices • Securities trading information including volume and restrictions • Maturity • Interest rates • Credit quality Levels The Companies also utilize the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels: • Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that they have the ability to access at the measurement date. Instruments categorized in Level 1 primarily consist of financial instruments such as certain exchange-traded derivatives, and exchange-listed equities, U.S. and international equity securities, mutual funds and certain Treasury securities held in nuclear decommissioning trust funds for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, benefit plan trust funds for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas, and rabbi trust funds for Dominion Energy. • Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 primarily include commodity forwards and swaps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps and cash and cash equivalents, corporate debt instruments, government securities and other fixed income investments held in nuclear decommissioning trust funds for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, benefit plan trust funds for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas and rabbi trust funds for Dominion Energy. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Instruments categorized in Level 3 for the Companies consist of long-dated commodity derivatives, FTRs, certain natural gas and power options and other modeled commodity derivatives. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these cases, the lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. Alternative investments, consisting of investments in partnerships, joint ventures and other alternative investments held in nuclear decommissioning and benefit plan trust funds, are generally valued using NAV based on the proportionate share of the fair value as determined by reference to the most recent audited fair value financial statements or fair value statements provided by the investment manager adjusted for any significant events occurring between the investment manager’s and the Companies’ measurement date. Alternative investments recorded at NAV are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. Transfers out of Level 3 represent assets and liabilities that were previously classified as Level 3 for which the inputs became observable for classification in either Level 1 or Level 2. Because the activity and liquidity of commodity markets vary substantially between regions and time periods, the availability of observable inputs for substantially the full term and value of the Companies’ over-the-counter Level 3 Valuations The Companies enter into certain physical and financial forwards, futures, options and swaps, which are considered Level 3 as they have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation. The discounted cash flow method is used to value Level 3 physical and financial forwards and futures contracts. An option model is used to value Level 3 physical and financial options. The discounted cash flow model for forwards and futures calculates mark-to-market mark-to-market The following table presents Dominion Energy’s quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements at December 31, 2019. The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs and percentages for price volatility.

Also, see Note 9 for information regarding fair value measurements associated with Dominion Energy’s sale of its interest in Blue Racer and acquisition of its interest in Wrangler. Atlantic Coast Pipeline Guarantee Agreement In October 2017, Dominion Energy entered into a guarantee agreement in connection with Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s obligation under a $3.4 billion revolving credit facility. See Note 23 for more information about the guarantee agreement associated with Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s revolving credit facility. Dominion Energy recorded a liability of $30 million, the fair value of the guarantee at inception, associated with the guarantee agreement. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow method and is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of a significant unobservable input related to the interest rate differential between the interest rate charged on the guaranteed revolving credit facility and the estimated interest rate that would have been charged had the loan not been guaranteed. Dominion Energy Gas In the fourth quarter of 2018, subsequent to the announcement of the sale of Dominion Energy’s interest in Blue Racer, Dominion Energy Gas conducted a review of strategic alternatives of its remaining gathering and processing assets at DGP. Based on an evaluation of DGP’s long-lived assets for recoverability under a probability weighted approach, Dominion Energy Gas determined the assets were impaired. As a result of this evaluation, Dominion Energy Gas recorded a charge of $219 million ($165 million after-tax) the Statements of Income the Recurring Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy with a separate reconciliation of fair value measurements categorized as Level 3. Fair value disclosures for assets held in Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans are presented in Note 22.

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. For the Companies’ financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value, the carrying amounts and estimated fair values are as follows: December 31, 2019 2018 Carrying Amount Estimated (1) Carrying Amount Estimated (1) (millions) Dominion Energy Long-term debt (2) $ 32,055 $36,155 $ 29,952 $31,045 Credit facility borrowings — — 73 73 Junior subordinated notes (3) 4,797 4,953 3,430 3,358 Remarketable subordinated notes (3) — — 1,386 1,340 Virginia Power Long-term debt (3) $ 12,326 $14,281 $ 11,671 $12,400 Dominion Energy Gas Long-term debt (4) $ 5,520 $5,738 $ 7,770 $7,803 Credit facility borrowings — — 73 73 (1) Fair value is estimated using market prices, where available, and interest rates currently available for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. All fair value measurements are classified as Level 2. The carrying amount of debt issuances with short-term maturities and variable rates refinanced at current market rates is a reasonable estimate of their fair value. (2) Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount or premium, and foreign currency remeasurement adjustments. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with Dominion Energy’s fixed rate debt of $4 million and $(20) million, respectively. (3) Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount or premium. (4) Carrying amount includes current portions included in securities due within one year and amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount or premium, and foreign currency remeasurement adjustments. |

Earnings Per Share | Note 8. Earnings Per Share The following table presents the calculation of Dominion Energy’s basic and diluted EPS: 2019 2018 2017 (millions, except EPS) Net income attributable to Dominion Energy $ 1,358 $ 2,447 $ 2,999 Preferred stock dividends (see Note 19) (17 ) — — Net income attributable to Dominion Energy – Basic 1,341 2,447 2,999 Dilutive effect of Series A Preferred Stock (28 ) — — Net income attributable to Dominion Energy – Diluted 1,313 2,447 2,999 Average shares of common stock outstanding – Basic 808.8 654.2 636.0 Net effect of dilutive securities (1) 0.1 0.7 — Average shares of common stock outstanding – Diluted 808.9 654.9 636.0 Earnings Per Common Share – Basic $ 1.66 $ 3.74 $ 4.72 Earnings Per Common Share – Diluted $ 1.62 $ 3.74 $ 4.72 (1) Dilutive securities for 2018 consist primarily of forward sale agreements, effective April 2018 to December 2018. See Notes 17 and 19 for more information. The 2019 Equity Units are potentially dilutive securities.

Regulatory Matters | N ote 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. FERC Electric Under the Federal Power Act, FERC regulates wholesale sales and transmission of electricity in interstate commerce by public utilities. Virginia Power purchases and, under its market based rate authority, sells electricity in the PJM wholesale market and to wholesale purchasers in Virginia and North Carolina. DESC sells electricity to wholesale purchasers in its balancing authority area under its electric cost based tariff and to wholesale purchasers outside of its balancing authority area under its market based rate authority. Dominion Energy’s merchant generators sell electricity in the PJM, CAISO and ISO-NE Rates In April 2008, FERC granted an application for Virginia Power’s electric transmission operations to establish a forward-looking formula rate mechanism that updates transmission rates on an annual basis and approved an ROE effective as of January 1, 2008. The formula rate is designed to recover the expected revenue requirement for each calendar year and is updated based on actual costs. The FERC-approved formula method, which is based on projected costs, allows Virginia Power to earn a current return on its investment in electric transmission infrastructure. In March 2010, ODEC and North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation filed a complaint with FERC against Virginia Power claiming, among other issues, that the incremental costs of undergrounding certain transmission line projects were unjust, unreasonable and unduly discriminatory or preferential and should be excluded from Virginia Power’s transmission formula rate. A settlement of the other issues raised in the complaint was approved by FERC in May 2012. In March 2014, FERC issued an order excluding from Virginia Power’s transmission rates for wholesale transmission customers located outside Virginia the incremental costs of undergrounding certain transmission line projects. FERC found it is not just and reasonable for non-Virginia In October 2017, FERC issued an order determining the calculation of the incremental costs of undergrounding the transmission projects and affirming that the costs are to be recovered from the wholesale transmission customers with loads located in Virginia. FERC directed Virginia Power to rebill all wholesale transmission customers retroactively to March 2010 within 30 days of when the proceeding becomes final and no longer subject to rehearing. In November 2017, Virginia Power, North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation and the wholesale transmission customers filed petitions for rehearing. In July 2018, FERC denied the rehearing requests related to the October 2017 order determining the calculation of the undergrounding costs. Several parties have appealed FERC’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. In December 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit denied the appeal. In January 2019, FERC issued an order denying PJM’s request to waive certain provisions of the PJM Tariff regarding the liquidation of a portfolio of FTRs owned by GreenHat who had defaulted on its financial obligations. As a result of FERC’s order, PJM is required to use the existing tariff provisions to liquidate GreenHat’s FTR portfolio and allocate the resulting costs to PJM members. In February 2019, PJM filed a request for clarification and rehearing with FERC. Also in February 2019, Virginia Power and certain other PJM members filed a request for rehearing with FERC. In June 2019, FERC established a hearing and settlement proceedings to address the issues raised in PJM’s request for clarification and rehearing. In October 2019, PJM submitted a settlement offer to FERC which was approved by FERC in December 2019. Based on the terms of the settlement, the impact to Virginia Power is expected to be immaterial. FERC—G as In July 2017, FERC audit staff communicated to DETI that it had substantially completed an audit of DETI’s compliance with the accounting and reporting requirements of FERC’s Uniform System of Accounts and provided a description of matters and preliminary recommendations. In November 2017, the FERC audit staff issued its audit report which could have the potential to result in adjustments which could be material to Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ results of operations. In December 2017, DETI provided its response to the audit report. DETI requested FERC review of contested findings and submitted its plan for compliance with the uncontested portions of the report. In connection with one uncontested issue, DETI recognized a charge of $15 million ($9 million after-tax) (reflected in the Corporate and Other segment) write-off after-tax) (reflected in the Corporate and Other segment) 2017 Tax Reform Act Subsequent to the enactment of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, the Companies’ state regulators issued orders requesting that public utilities evaluate the total tax impact on the entity’s cost of service and accrue a regulatory liability attributable to the benefits of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate. Certain of the orders requested that the public utilities submit a response to the state regulatory commissions detailing the total tax impact on the utility’s cost of service. The Companies began to reserve the impacts of the cost-of-service In September 2018, the Virginia Commission issued an order directing Virginia Power to submit a filing quantifying the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act in advance of the April 1, 2019 implementation as required by legislation, which filing was submitted in October 2018. In January 2019, Virginia Power filed updated testimony with a proposed annual revenue reduction of approximately $171 million. Additionally, Virginia Power proposed to issue a one-time true-up one-time In August 2018, Virginia Power filed with FERC to waive protocols and begin reflecting projected tax reform benefits of approximately $100 million through the transmission formula rate prior to the normal formula rate process. FERC granted the waiver and the amounts began being reflected in customer billings in November 2018 reflecting the adjustment effective January 1, 2018. In October 2018, the North Carolina Commission issued an order requesting companies file to reduce base rates expeditiously. Virginia Power made its compliance filing in October 2018 and submitted an annual base rate revenue decrease of approximately $14 million effective in early 2019. Virginia Power also proposed to issue a one-time one-time In March 2019, Questar Gas filed with the Utah and Wyoming Commissions as to the impact of excess deferred income taxes resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform Act. Questar Gas proposed to return the 2018 amortization of excess deferred income taxes to customers and to incorporate the remaining excess deferred income tax impact in its next general rate cases in each jurisdiction. In May 2019, the Utah Commission issued an order approving Questar Gas’ proposal to pass back the 2018 amortization of excess deferred income taxes over twelve months beginning in June 2019. The matter with the Wyoming Commission is pending. In October 2018, the Ohio Commission issued an order requiring rate-regulated utilities to file an application reflecting the impact of the 2017 Tax Reform Act on current rates by January 1, 2019. In December 2018, East Ohio filed its application proposing an approach to establishing rates and charges by and through which to return tax reform benefits to its customers. In December 2019, the Ohio Commission issued an order approving customer credits of approximately $600 million that will be shared with customers primarily over the remaining book life of the property to which the excess deferred income taxes relate. In addition, East Ohio will reduce rates approximately $19 million per year to account for the 2017 Tax Reform Act’s impact on its equity return component of rates charged to customers. In connection with the SCANA Merger Approval Order, the South Carolina Commission approved DESC’s provision of approximately $100 million in bill credits related to the 2017 Tax Reform Act’s impact on retail electric customer rates for the period beginning January 2018 through January 2019. These credits have been included in bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle of February 2019. In addition, the South Carolina Commission approved a tax rider whereby the effects of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform Act will benefit retail electric customers. This tax rider reduced base rates to retail electric customers by approximately $63 million in 2019 and is expected to reduce these rates by $67 million in 2020. In October 2018, the South Carolina Commission issued an order approving adjustment to DESC’s natural gas rate schedules, under the terms of the Natural Gas Rate Stabilization Act, to reflect the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate arising from the 2017 Tax Reform Act. The approved natural gas rate schedules also included a tax reform rate rider to refund certain income tax amounts previously collected from customers. These lower rates, representing a $20 million decreased revenue requirement, became effective for bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle in November 2018. In December 2018, the North Carolina Commission issued an order approving PSNC’s proposed adjustments to customer rates, representing a $13 million decreased revenue requirement, to reflect the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate arising from the 2017 Tax Reform Act. These lower rates became effective for service rendered on and after January 1, 2019. Amounts collected in customer rates during 2018 and amounts arising from excess deferred income taxes have been recorded in regulatory liabilities and must be considered in PSNC’s next general rate case proceeding or in three years, whichever is sooner. The reduction in the federal corporate tax rate and its impact on PSNC’s various rate riders will be addressed in future proceedings related to those riders. During 2018, Dominion Energy’s FERC-regulated pipelines, including those accounted for as equity method investments, filed the Form 501-G 501-G Other Regulatory Matters V irginia egulation The Regulation Act enacted in 2007 instituted a cost-of-service The Regulation Act authorizes stand-alone rate adjustment clauses for recovery of costs for new generation projects, FERC-approved transmission costs, underground distribution lines, environmental compliance, conservation and energy efficiency programs, renewable energy programs and nuclear license renewals, and also contains statutory provisions directing Virginia Power to file annual fuel cost recovery cases with the Virginia Commission. As amended, it provides for enhanced returns on capital expenditures on specific newly-proposed generation projects. If the Virginia Commission’s future rate decisions, including actions relating to Virginia Power’s rate adjustment clause filings, differ materially from Virginia Power’s expectations, it may adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Grid Transformation and Security Act of 2018 In March 2018, the GTSA reinstated base rate reviews on a triennial basis, other than the first review which will be a quadrennial review, occurring for Virginia Power in 2021 for the four successive 12-month In the triennial review proceedings, earnings that are more than 70 basis points above the utility’s authorized ROE that might have been refunded to customers and served as the basis for a reduction in future rates, may be reduced by Virginia Commission - The legislation also includes provisions requiring Virginia Power to provide current customers one-time after-tax) non-jurisdictional 2018 and January 2019, Virginia Power credited $138 million and $77 million, respectively, to current customers’ bills. In addition, Virginia Power reduced base rates on an annual basis by $125 million effective July 2018, to reflect the estimated effect of the 2017 Tax Reform Act. In March 2019, the Virginia Commission directed an annual revenue reduction of $183 million in rates for generation and distribution services pursuant to the GTSA effective April 2019. In July 2018, Virginia Power filed a petition with the Virginia Commission for approval of the first three years of its ten-year In September 2019, Virginia Power filed a revised plan which includes six components: (i) smart meters; (ii) customer information platform; (iii) grid improvement projects; (iv) telecommunications infrastructure; (v) cyber security; and (vi) a smart charging electric vehicle infrastructure pilot program (Phase IB). For Phase IB, the total proposed capital investment during 2019 – 2021 is $503 million and the proposed operations and maintenance investment is $78 million. This matter is pending. Regulation Act In March 2019, Virginia Power filed an application for the Virginia Commission to determine the general ROE for Virginia Power’s non-transmission 12-month Virginia Fuel Expenses In May 2019, Virginia Power filed its annual fuel factor with the Virginia Commission to recover an estimated $1.5 billion in Virginia jurisdictional projected fuel expenses for the rate year beginning July 1, 2019 and the projected June 30, 2019 under recovered balance of $124 million. Virginia Power’s proposed fuel rate represented a fuel revenue decrease of $192 million when applied to projected kilowatt-hour sales for the period July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Subsequently in May 2019, Virginia Power revised its fuel factor filing to reduce the projected June 30, 2019 underrecovered balance to $107 million and a fuel revenue decrease of $254 million. In August 2019, the Virginia Commission approved Virginia Power’s fuel rate. In February 2020, Virginia Power filed its annual fuel factor with the Virginia Commission to recover an estimated $1.2 billion in Virginia jurisdictional projected fuel expenses for the rate year beginning July 1, 2020 and a projected over-recovery of approximately $81 million for the prior year balance as of June 30, 2020. Virginia Power requested that the new fuel factor rate be implemented on an interim basis two months early, beginning on May 1, 2020. Virginia Power’s proposed fuel rate represents a fuel revenue decrease of approximately $393 million when applied to projected kilowatt-hour sales for the rate year beginning May 1, 2020. This matter is pending. Battery Storage Pilot In August 2019, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission to participate in a pilot program for electric power storage batteries, which includes three projects for deployment of battery energy storage systems. Virginia Power also requested an amended CPCN to construct and operate a battery energy storage system at Scott Solar. The projects are estimated to cost approximately $35 million. In February 2020, the Virginia Commission approved the request. Solar Facility Projects • In July 2018, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for CPCNs to construct two solar facilities. Colonial Trail West and Spring Grove 1 are estimated to cost approximately $410 million, excluding financing costs. Colonial Trail West commenced commercial operations in December 2019 and Spring Grove 1 is expected to commence commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2020. Virginia Power also applied for approval of Rider US-3 20-year US-3. • In July 2019, Virginia Power filed an application with the Virginia Commission for a CPCN to construct Sadler Solar, which is estimated to cost approximately $146 million, excluding financing costs. Sadler Solar is expected to commence commercial operations, subject to regulatory approvals associated with the project, in the fourth quarter of 2020. Virginia Power also applied for approval of Rider US-4 20- US-4 Rate Adjustment Clauses Below is a discussion of significant riders associated with various Virginia Power projects: • The Virginia Commission previously approved Rider T1 concerning transmission rates. In May 2019, Virginia Power proposed a $920 million total revenue requirement consisting of $474 million for the transmission component of Virginia Power’s base rates and $446 million for Rider T1 for the rate year beginning September 1, 2019. This total revenue requirement represents a $271 million increase versus the revenues to be produced during the rate year under current rates. In July 2019, the Virginia Commission approved the filing. • The Virginia Commission previously approved Rider U in conjunction with cost recovery to move certain electric distribution facilities underground as authorized by Virginia legislation. In October 2019, the Virginia Commission approved Virginia Power’s proposed fourth phase of conversions totaling $123 million and a total $52 million revenue requirement for the rate year beginning February 1, 2020 for continuing recovery of the previously approved phase conversions and the proposed fourth phase conversions. • The Virginia Commission previously approved Riders C1A, C2A and C3A in connection with cost recovery for DSM programs. In December 2019, Virginia Power filed a petition to approve an additional 10 new energy efficiency programs and one new demand response DSM program for five years, subject to future extension, with a $186 million cost cap, and proposed a total $60 million revenue requirement for the rate year beginning September 1, 2020. This total revenue requirement represents an $11 million increase over the previous year. • In December 2018, Virginia Power filed a petition requesting approval of Rider E and proposed a $114 million total revenue requirement for the rate year beginning November 1, 2019. In August 2019, the Virginia Commission issued an order approving in part and denying in part the petition. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a $21 million ($16 million after-tax) write-off true-up, • Additional significant riders associated with various Virginia Power projects are as follows: Rider Name Application Approval Date Rate Year Beginning Total Increase Rider S May 2019 February 2020 April 2020 $195 $(20 ) Rider GV May 2019 February 2020 April 2020 132 12 Rider W May 2019 February 2020 April 2020 106 1 Rider R May 2019 February 2020 April 2020 44 (13 ) Rider B May 2019 February 2020 April 2020 32 (6 ) Rider US-3 July 2019 Pending June 2020 31 21 Rider BW October 2019 Pending September 2020 120 1 Rider US-2 October 2019 Pending September 2020 10 (5 ) Rider E January 2020 Pending November 2020 88 (16 ) Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project In November 2018, Virginia Power received approval from the Virginia Commission for its petition seeking a prudency determination as provided in the GTSA with respect to the proposed Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Pilot project consisting of two 6 MW wind turbine generators located approximately 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia in federal waters, and for a CPCN, for the generation tie line connecting the generators to shore. This project is expected to cost approximately $300 million and to be placed into service by the end of 2020. Electric Transmission Projects In November 2013, the Virginia Commission issued an order granting Virginia Power a CPCN to construct approximately 7 miles of new overhead 500 kV transmission line from the existing Surry switching station in Surry County to a new Skiffes Creek switching station in James City County, and approximately 20 miles of new 230 kV transmission line in James City County, York County, and the City of Newport News from the proposed new Skiffes Creek switching station to Virginia Power’s existing Whealton substation in the City of Hampton. In February 2019, the transmission line project was placed into service. In March 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued an order vacating the permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued in July 2017 and ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to do a full environmental impact study of the project. In April 2019, Virginia Power and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers filed petitions for rehearing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, asking that the permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers remain in effect while an environmental impact study is performed. In May 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit denied the request for rehearing and ordered the U.S. District Court for the D.C. Circuit to consider and issue a ruling on whether the permit should be vacated during the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ preparation of an environmental impact statement. In November 2019, the U.S. District Court for the D.C. Circuit issued an order allowing the permit to remain in effect while an environmental impact study is performed. This matter is pending.

Virginia Power is reviewing the order and assessing its options. North Carolina Fuel Filing In August 2019, Virginia Power submitted its annual filing to the North Carolina Commission to adjust the fuel component of its electric rates. Virginia Power proposed a total $18 million decrease to the fuel component of its electric rates for the rate year beginning February 1, 2020. In January 2020, the North Carolina Commission approved Virginia Power’s proposed fuel change adjustment. South Carolina Regulation DSM Programs DESC has approval for a DSM rider through which it recovers expenditures related to its DSM programs. In January 2019, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission seeking approval to recover $30 million of costs and net lost revenues associated with these programs, along with an incentive to invest in such programs. In April 2019, the South Carolina Commission approved the request for the rate year beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2019. In January 2020, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission seeking approval to recover $40 million of costs and net lost revenues associated with these programs, along with an incentive to invest in such programs. This matter is pending. Natural Gas Rate Stabilization Act In June 2019, DESC filed with the South Carolina Commission its monitoring report for the 12-month Cost of Fuel DESC’s retail electric rates include a cost of fuel component approved by the South Carolina Commission which may be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the price of fuel purchased by DESC. In April 2019, the South Carolina Commission approved DESC’s proposal to decrease the total fuel cost component of retail electric rates. DESC’s proposal included maintaining its base fuel component at the current level to produce a projected under-recovered balance of $35 million at the end of the 12-month In February 2020, DESC filed a proposal with the South Carolina Commission to decrease the total fuel cost component of retail electric rates. DESC’s proposed decrease would reduce annual base fuel component recoveries by approximately $44 million and is projected to return to customers the existing over-collected balance while recovering DESC’s current base fuel costs over the 12-month period beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2020. In addition, DESC proposed an increase to its variable environmental and distributed energy resource components. This matter is pending. Electric Transmission Projects In 2020, DESC expects to begin several electric transmission projects in connection with two new nuclear plants under development by Southern. These transmission projects are required to be in place prior to these plants beginning operations to maintain reliability. DESC anticipates the projects to go into service in phases, costing approximately $75 million in aggregate. In February 2020, DESC filed an application with the South Carolina Commission requesting approval to construct and operate 28 miles of 230 kV transmission lines in Aiken County, South Carolina estimated to cost approximately $30 million. This matter is pending. Ohio Regulation PIR Program In 2008, East Ohio began PIR, aimed at replacing approximately 25% of its pipeline system. In September 2016, the Ohio Commission approved a stipulation filed jointly by East Ohio and the Staff of the Ohio Commission to continue the PIR program and associated cost recovery for another five-year term, calendar years 2017 through 2021, and to permit East Ohio to increase its annual capital expenditures to $200 million by 2018 and 3% per year thereafter subject to the cost recovery rate increase caps proposed by East Ohio. In April 2019, the Ohio Commission approved East Ohio’s application to adjust the PIR cost recovery rates for 2018 costs. The filing reflects gross plant investment for 2018 of $202 million, cumulative gross plant investment of $1.6 billion and a revenue requirement of $190 million. CEP Program In 2011, East Ohio began CEP which enables East Ohio to defer depreciation expense, property tax expense and carrying costs at the debt rate of 6.5% on capital investments not covered by its PIR program to expand, upgrade or replace its pipeline system and information technology systems as well as investments necessary to comply with the Ohio Commission or other government regulation. In May 2019, East Ohio filed an application for an alternative rate plan to establish a CEP rider to recover existing CEP-related West Virginia Regulation PREP In May 2019, Hope filed a PREP application with the West Virginia Commission requesting approval to recover PREP costs related to $29 million and $39 million of projected capital investment for 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Questar Gas proposed a non-fuel, In February 2020, the Utah Commission approved a non-fuel, base rate increase of $3 million effective March 2020. This revenue requirement increase is based on an approved ROE of 9.50%. Wyoming Base Rate Case In November 2019, Questar Gas filed its base rate case and schedules with the Wyoming Commission. Questar Gas proposed a non-fuel, base rate increase of $4 million effective September 2020. The base rate increase was proposed to replace aging infrastructure and expand its system. Questar Gas presented an earned return of 7.46%, based upon a fully-adjusted test period, compared to its authorized 9.5% return, and proposed a 10.5% ROE. This matter is pending. Rural Expansion Program In December 2019, Questar Gas filed an application with the Utah Commission for a CPCN to construct natural gas infrastructure to extend service to Eureka, Utah. The project is expected to include 11 miles of high-pressure pipeline and up to 360 service lines and to be in service in late 2021. Questar Gas also requested approval of a rural expansion rate adjustment tracker to recover the construction costs of the project. This matter is pending. FERC—GAS Cove Point In February 2019, Cove Point submitted its annual electric power cost adjustment to FERC requesting approval to recover $24 million. FERC approved the adjustment in March 2019. In June 2015, Cove Point executed two binding precedent agreements for the approximately $150 million Eastern Market Access Project. In January 2018, Cove Point received FERC authorization to construct and operate the project facilities. In October 2018, Cove Point announced it was evaluating alternatives to a proposed Charles County, Maryland compressor station that was initially part of this project and in December 2018, after working with project customers for alternative solutions, decided not to pursue further construction at this location resulting in a revised project estimate of approximately $45 million and a write-off after-tax). In connection with the Eastern Market Access Project, in August 2019, Cove Point filed to update its annual electric power cost adjustment requesting FERC approval to recover $25 million, representing an increase of $1 million from the adjustment approved in March 2019. FERC approved the adjustment in August 2019. In January 2020, pursuant to the terms of a previous settlement, Cove Point filed a general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services, with proposed rates to be effective March 1, 2020. Cove Point proposed an annual cost-of-service DETI In , DETI submitted its annual transportation cost rate adjustment to FERC requesting approval to recover $ million.

Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Note 14. Asset Retirement Obligations AROs represent obligations that result from laws, statutes, contracts and regulations related to the eventual retirement of certain of the Companies’ long-lived assets. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s AROs are primarily associated with the decommissioning of their nuclear generation facilities and ash pond and landfill closures. Dominion Energy Gas’ AROs primarily include plugging and abandonment of gas and oil wells and the interim retirement of natural gas gathering, transmission, distribution and storage pipeline components. The Companies have also identified, but not recognized, AROs related to the retirement of the Cove Point LNG Facility, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ storage wells in their underground natural gas storage network, certain Virginia Power electric transmission and distribution assets located on property with easements, rights of way, franchises and lease agreements, Virginia Power’s hydroelectric generation facilities and the abatement of certain asbestos not expected to be disturbed in Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s generation facilities. The Companies currently do not have sufficient information to estimate a reasonable range of expected retirement dates for any of these assets since the economic lives of these assets can be extended indefinitely through regular repair and maintenance and they currently have no plans to retire or dispose of any of these assets. As a result, a settlement date is not determinable for these assets and AROs for these assets will not be reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements until sufficient information becomes available to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the activities to be performed. The Companies continue to monitor operational and strategic developments to identify if sufficient information exists to reasonably estimate a retirement date for these assets. The changes to AROs during 2018 and 2019 were as follows: Amount (millions) Dominion Energy AROs at December 31, 2017 $ 2,432 Obligations incurred during the period 20 Obligations settled during the period (159 ) Revisions in estimated cash flows (2) 120 Accretion 119 AROs at December 31, 2018 (1) $ 2,532 Obligations incurred during the period (2) 2,413 Obligations settled during the period (137 ) AROs acquired in the SCANA Combination 577 Revisions in estimated cash flows (3) (324 ) Accretion 213 AROs at December 31, 2019 (1) $ 5,274 Virginia Power AROs at December 31, 2017 $ 1,365 Obligations incurred during the period 14 Obligations settled during the period (119 ) Revisions in estimated cash flows (2) 120 Accretion 65 AROs at December 31, 2018 $ 1,445 Obligations incurred during the period ( 2 ) 2,408 Obligations settled during the period (81 ) Revisions in estimated cash flows (3) (323 ) Accretion 132 AROs at December 31, 2019 $ 3,581 Dominion Energy Gas AROs at December 31, 2017 $ 85 Obligations incurred during the period 3 Obligations settled during the period (6 ) Accretion 6 AROs at December 31, 2018 ( 4 ) $ 88 Obligations settled during the period (3 ) Accretion 4 AROs at December 31, 2019 ( 4 ) $ 89 (1) Includes $282 million and $408 million reported in other current liabilities at December 31, 2018, and 2019, respectively.

The lessor provided equity and obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $365 million, which funded total project costs. The project became substantially complete in August 2019 at which point the facility was available for Dominion Energy’s use and the five-year lease term commenced. Upon commencement, the lease for the facility was classified as a finance lease. At the end of the initial lease term, Dominion Energy can (i) extend the term of the lease for an additional five years, subject to the approval of the participants, at current market terms, (ii) purchase the property for an amount equal to the project costs or, (iii) subject to certain terms and conditions, sell the property on behalf of the lessor to a third party using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the highest cash purchase price for the property. If the project is sold and the proceeds from the sale are insufficient to repay the investors for the project costs, Dominion Energy may be required to make a payment to the lessor, up to 87% of project costs, for the difference between the project costs and sale proceeds. No end-of-term right-of-use In December 2019, Dominion Energy signed an agreement with a lessor to construct and lease a new corporate office property in Richmond, Virginia. The lessor is providing equity and has obtained financing commitments from debt investors, totaling $465 million, to fund the estimated project costs. If Dominion Energy ultimately proceeds with the through completion, it not earlier than mid-2023. The 51-month Dominion Energy is not considered the owner during construction for financial accounting purposes and, therefore, will not reflect the construction activity in its consolidated financial statements.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities | Note 16. Variable Interest Entities The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE and to disclose certain information about its significant variable interests in the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has both 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and 2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Dominion Energy At December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy owns the manager and 67% of the membership interest in certain merchant solar facilities, as discussed in Note 2. Dominion Energy has concluded that these entities are VIEs due to the members lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. In addition, in 2016 Dominion Energy created a wholly owned subsidiary, SBL Holdco, as a holding company of its interest in the VIE merchant solar facilities and accordingly SBL Holdco is a VIE. Dominion Energy is the primary beneficiary of SBL Holdco and the merchant solar facilities, as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to them. Dominion Energy’s securities due within one year and long-term debt include $31 million and $267 million, respectively, of debt issued by SBL Holdco net of issuance costs that is nonrecourse to Dominion Energy and is secured by SBL Holdco’s interest in certain merchant solar facilities. Dominion Energy owns a 48% membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. See Note 9 for more details regarding the nature of this entity. Dominion Energy concluded that Atlantic Coast Pipeline is a VIE because it has insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. Dominion Energy has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of Atlantic Coast Pipeline as it does not have the power to direct the activities of Atlantic Coast Pipeline that most significantly impact its economic performance, as the power to direct is shared among multiple unrelated parties. In February 2020, Dominion Energy entered an agreement to acquire Southern’s 5% membership interest which is expected to close by the second quarter of 2020. Following completion of the acquisition, Dominion Energy will own a 53% noncontrolling membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline which is not expected to change Dominion Energy’s conclusion that it is not the primary beneficiary as the power to direct the activities most significant to Atlantic Coast Pipeline will be shared with Duke. Dominion Energy is obligated to provide capital contributions based on its ownership percentage. Dominion Energy’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its current and future investment as well as any obligations under a guarantee provided. See Note 23 for more information. Dominion Energy previously concluded that Dominion Energy Midstream was a VIE due to the limited partners lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and that it was the primary beneficiary as it had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance as well as to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to Dominion Energy Midstream. In January 2019, Dominion Energy acquired all outstanding partnership interests not owned by Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Midstream became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy. As a result, Dominion Energy concluded that Dominion Energy Midstream is no longer a VIE. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s nuclear decommissioning trust funds and Dominion Energy’s rabbi trusts hold investments in limited partnerships or similar type entities (see Note 9 for further details). Dominion Energy and Virginia Power concluded that these partnership investments are VIEs due to the limited partners lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have concluded neither is the primary beneficiary as they do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are obligated to provide capital contributions to the partnerships as required by each partnership agreement based on their ownership percentages. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to their current and future investments. Virginia Power Virginia Power had a long-term power and capacity contract with one non-utility non-utility after-tax) non-utility non-utility Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas As part of the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring, Dominion Energy contributed to Dominion Energy Gas a 75% controlling limited partner interest in Cove Point. In December 2019, Dominion Energy sold its retained 25% noncontrolling limited partner interest in Cove Point. Dominion Energy Gas concluded that Cove Point is a VIE due to the limited partners lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Dominion Energy Gas is the primary beneficiary of Cove Point as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to it. Dominion Energy Gas DETI has been engaged to oversee the construction of, and to subsequently operate and maintain, the projects undertaken by Atlantic Coast Pipeline based on the overall direction and oversight of Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s members. An affiliate of DETI holds a membership interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline, therefore DETI is considered to have a variable interest in Atlantic Coast Pipeline. The members of Atlantic Coast Pipeline hold the power to direct the construction, operations and maintenance activities of the entity. DETI has concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Atlantic Coast Pipeline as it does not have the power to direct the activities of Atlantic Coast Pipeline that most significantly impact its economic performance. DETI has no obligation to absorb any losses of the VIE. See Note 25 for information about associated related party receivable balances. Dominion Energy Gas purchased shared services from DECGS and DEQPS, affiliated VIEs, of $49 million, $45 million and $45 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheets included amounts due to DECGS and DEQPS of $15 million and $6 million at December 31, 2019 and at December 31, 2018, respectively. Gas determined that neither it nor any of its consolidated entities is the primary beneficiary of DECGS or DEQPS, as neither it nor any of its consolidated entities has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to them. DECGS and DEQPS provide marketing and operation al Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas purchased shared services from DES, an affiliated VIE, of $387 million and $119 million, $335 million and $106 million, and $340 million and $106 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheets included amounts due to DES of $102 million and $27 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019, and $107 million and $43 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018, recorded in payables to affiliates in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas determined that neither is the primary beneficiary of DES as neither has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to it. DES provides accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services to all Dominion Energy subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas have no obligation to absorb more than their allocated shares of DES costs. |

Short-Term Debt And Credit Agreements | Note 17. Short-term Debt and Credit Agreements 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.

The Corporate Units are listed on the NYSE under the symbol DCUE. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to repay short-term debt, including commercial paper. Each 2019 Series A Corporate Unit consists of a stock purchase contract and a 1/10, or 10%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in one share of Series A Preferred Stock. Beginning in June 2022, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into Dominion Energy common stock under a formula based upon the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock prior to the conversion date. The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable in cash by Dominion Energy beginning September 2022 at the liquidation preference. Settlement of any conversion is payable in cash, common stock or a combination thereof, at Dominion Energy’s election. The stock purchase contracts obligate the holders to purchase shares of Dominion Energy common stock in June 2022. The purchase price to be paid under the stock purchase contracts is $100 per Corporate Unit and the number of shares to be purchased will be determined under a formula based upon the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock near the settlement date. The Series A Preferred Stock was pledged upon issuance as collateral to secure the purchase of common stock under the related stock purchase contracts.

Also, during the deferral period, Dominion Energy may not make any payments on or redeem, repay or repurchase any debt securities that are equal in right of payment with, or subordinated to, the contract adjustment payments or make any payment on any guarantee of a security of a subsidiary if the guarantee ranks equal or junior to the contract adjustment payments. Unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, Dominion Energy may not make any distributions on any of its capital stock ranking equal or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, as applicable, including dividends, redemptions, repurchases or liquidation payments. In such circumstances, Dominion Energy also may not make any contract adjustment payments or other similar types of payments, subject to certain exceptions.

Equity | Note 20. Equity Common Stock Dominion Energy During 2019, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy recorded, net of fees and commissions, $11.0 billion, $2.5 billion and $1.3 billion from the issuance of approximately 157 million, 36 million and 17 million shares of common stock, respectively, for acquisitions, settlements of stock purchase contracts and through various programs including Dominion Energy Direct ® at-the-market Acquisitions During 2019, Dominion Energy issued 95.6 million shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of SCANA. At the time of issuance, these common stock shares were valued at $6.8 billion. See Note 3 for further information on the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock in connection with the SCANA Combination. In January 2019, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Midstream closed on an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which Dominion Energy acquired each outstanding common unit representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream not already owned by Dominion Energy through the issuance of 22.5 million shares of common stock valued at $1.6 billion. Under the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, each publicly held outstanding common unit representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream was converted into the right to receive 0.2492 shares of Dominion Energy common stock. Immediately prior to the closing, each Series A Preferred Unit representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream was converted into common units representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream in accordance with the terms of Dominion Energy Midstream’s partnership agreement. The merger was accounted for by Dominion Energy following the guidance for a change in a parent company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary. Because Dominion Energy controls Dominion Energy Midstream both before and after the merger, the changes in Dominion Energy’s ownership interest in Dominion Energy Midstream were accounted for as an equity transaction and no gain or loss was recognized. In connection with the merger, Dominion Energy recognized $40 million of income taxes in equity primarily attributable to establishing additional regulatory liabilities related to excess deferred income taxes and changes in state income taxes. Subsequent to this activity, as a result of the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring, Dominion Energy Gas is considered to have acquired all of the outstanding partnership interests of Dominion Energy Midstream and Dominion Energy Midstream became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy Gas. Pension Plan Contribution In December 2019, Dominion Energy contributed 6.1 million shares of its common stock valued at $499 million to the qualified defined benefit pension plans. See Note 22 for further information regarding activity surrounding pension plan contributions. Dominion Energy Direct ® Dominion Energy maintains Dominion Energy Direct ® ® Stock Purchase Contracts In August 2019, Dominion Energy issued 18.5 million shares under the related stock purchase contracts entered into as part of Dominion Energy’s 2016 Equity Units and received proceeds of $1.4 billion. In 2017, Dominion Energy issued 12.5 million shares under the related stock purchase contracts entered into as part of Dominion Energy’s 2014 Equity Units and received proceeds of $1.0 billion. See Note 18 for further information surrounding these stock purchase contracts. At-the-Market In June 2017, Dominion Energy filed an SEC shelf registration for the sale of debt and equity securities including the ability to sell common stock through an at-the-market at-the-market at-the-market on the NYSE at market prices or in such other transactions as are agreed upon by Dominion Energy and the sales agents in conformance with applicable securities laws. In the fourth quarter of 2018, Dominion Energy provided sales instructions to two of the sales agents and issued 2.7 million shares through at-the-market Forward Sale Agreements In 2018, Dominion Energy entered into separate forward sale agreements with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Credit Suisse Capital LLC, as forward purchasers, and an underwriting agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, relating to an aggregate of 20 million shares of Dominion Energy common stock. The underwriting agreement granted the underwriters a 30-day Repurchase of Common Stock Dominion Energy did not repurchase any shares in 2019 or 2018 and does not plan to repurchase shares during 2020, except for shares tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock, which do not count against its stock repurchase authorization. Virginia Power In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power did not issue any shares of its common stock to Dominion Energy. Noncontrolling Interests Sale of Interest in Cove Point In December 2019, Dominion Energy completed the sale of its 25% noncontrolling limited partnership interest in Cove Point to Brookfield in exchange for cash consideration of $2.1 billion, subject to working capital adjustments. See Note 3 for further information on the sale of this interest. Remeasurement of Dominion Energy Midstream Units In May 2018, all of the subordinated units of Dominion Energy Midstream held by Dominion Energy were converted into common units on a 1:1 ratio following the payment of Dominion Energy Midstream’s distribution for the first quarter of 2018. In June 2018, Dominion Energy, as general partner, exercised an incentive distribution right reset as defined in Dominion Energy Midstream’s partnership agreement and received 27 million common units representing limited partner interests in Dominion Energy Midstream. As a result of the increase in its ownership interest in Dominion Energy Midstream, Dominion Energy recorded a decrease in noncontrolling interest, and a corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity, of $375 million reflecting the change in the carrying value of the interest in the net assets of Dominion Energy Midstream held by others.

The Non-Employee non-employee Goal-based stock awards are granted in lieu of cash-based performance grants to certain officers who have not achieved a certain targeted level of share ownership. As of December 31, 2019, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested goal-based stock awards was immaterial. Dominion Energy measures and recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payment transactions over the vesting period based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Dominion Energy’s results for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 include $46 million, $48 million and $45 million, Restricted Stock Restricted stock grants are made to officers under Dominion Energy’s LTIP and may also be granted to certain key non-officer three Shares Weighted—average (thousands) Nonvested at December 31, 2016 886 $71.40 Granted 454 74.24 Vested (287 ) 68.90 Cancelled and forfeited (10 ) 72.37 Nonvested at December 31, 2017 1,043 $73.32 Granted 534 72.92 Vested (316 ) 73.59 Cancelled and forfeited (53 ) 74.25 Nonvested at December 31, 2018 1,208 $73.03 Granted 614 76.49 Vested (324 ) 71.75 Cancelled and forfeited (96 ) 77.16 Nonvested at December 31, 2019 1,402 $74.77 As of December 31, 2019, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards totaled $59 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The fair value of restricted stock awards that vested was $23 million, $23 million and $21 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Employees may elect to have shares of restricted stock withheld upon vesting to satisfy tax withholding obligations. The number of shares withheld will vary for each employee depending on the vesting date fair market value of Dominion Energy stock and the applicable federal, state and local tax withholding rates. Cash-Based Performance Grants Cash-based performance grants are made to Dominion Energy’s officers under Dominion Energy’s LTIP. The actual payout of cash-based performance grants will vary between zero and 200% of the targeted amount based on the level of performance metrics achieved. In February 2017, two cash-based performance grants were made to officers as Dominion Energy transitioned from a two-year two-year $13 million. Payout The In February 2018, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the performance grant is expected to occur by March 15, 2021 based on the achievement of two performance metrics during 2018, 2019 and 2020: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group and ROIC. There are additional opportunities to earn a portion of the award based on Dominion Energy’s absolute TSR or relative price-earnings ratio performance. At December 31, 2019, the targeted amount of the three-year grant was $15 million and a liability of $8 million had been accrued for this award. In February 2019, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the performance grant is expected to occur by March 15, 2022 based on the achievement of two performance metrics during 2019, 2020 and 2021: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group and ROIC. There are additional opportunities to earn a portion of the award based on Dominion Energy’s absolute TSR or relative price-earnings ratio performance. At December 31, 2019, the targeted amount of the three-year grant was $16 million and a liability of $5 million had been accrued for this award. |

Dividend Restrictions | Note 21. Dividend Restrictions The Virginia Commission may prohibit any public service company, including Virginia Power, from declaring or paying a dividend to an affiliate if found to be inconsistent with the public interest. At December 31, 2019, the Virginia Commission had not restricted the payment of dividends by Virginia Power. The North Carolina Commission, in its order approving the SCANA Combination, limited cumulative dividends payable to Dominion Energy by Virginia Power and PSNC to (i) the amount of retained earnings at closing of the SCANA Combination plus (ii) any future earnings recorded by Virginia Power and PSNC after such date. In addition, notice to the North Carolina Commission is required if payment of dividends causes the equity component of Virginia Power and PSNC’s capital structure to fall below 45%. The Ohio Commission may prohibit any public service company, including East Ohio, from declaring or paying a dividend to an affiliate if found to be detrimental to the public interest. At December 31, 2019, the Ohio Commission had not restricted the payment of dividends by East Ohio. Pursuant to the SCANA Merger Approval Order, the amount of any DESC dividends paid must be reasonable and consistent with the long-term payout ratio of the electric utility industry and gas distribution industry. There is no specific restriction on the payment of dividends by DESC. At December 31, 2019, DESC’s retained earnings are below the balance established by the Federal Power Act as a reserve on earnings attributable to hydroelectric generation plants. As a result, DESC is prohibited from the payment of dividends without regulatory approval until the balance of its retained earnings increases. The Utah Commission may prohibit any public service company, including Questar Gas, from declaring or paying a dividend to an affiliate if found to be detrimental to the public interest. At December 31, 2019, the Utah Commission had not restricted the payment of dividends by Questar Gas. Certain agreements associated with the Companies’ credit facility contain restrictions on the ratio of debt to total capitalization. These limitations did not restrict the Companies’ ability to pay dividends or receive dividends from their subsidiaries at December 31, 2019. In connection with the SCANA Combination, under the terms of the merger agreement, Dominion Energy could not declare, set aside or pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions (whether in cash, stock or property) in respect of, any of its capital stock, other than regular quarterly cash dividends from January 2018 through January 2019. As part of the merger agreement with Dominion Energy Midstream from November 2018 through January 2019, Dominion Energy could not declare, set aside or pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions (whether in cash, stock or property) in respect of, any of its capital stock, other than regular quarterly cash dividends. See Notes 18 and 19 for a description of potential restrictions on common stock dividend payments by Dominion Energy in connection with the deferral of contract adjustment payments on the 2019 Equity Units or a failure to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefit Plans | Note 22. Employee Benefit Plans Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas—Defined Benefit Plans Dominion Energy provides certain retirement benefits to eligible active employees, retirees and qualifying dependents. Dominion Energy Gas participates in a number of the Dominion Energy-sponsored retirement plans. Under the terms of its benefit plans, Dominion Energy reserves the right to change, modify or terminate the plans. From time to time in the past, benefits have changed, and some of these changes have reduced benefits. Dominion Energy maintains qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering virtually all employees. Retirement benefits are based primarily on years of service, age and the employee’s compensation. Dominion Energy’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that is in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. The pension programs also provide benefits to certain retired executives under company-sponsored nonqualified employee benefit plans. The nonqualified plans are funded through contributions to grantor trusts. Dominion Energy also provides retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits with annual employee premiums based on several factors such as age, retirement date and years of service. Pension benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Dominion Energy that provides benefits to multiple Dominion Energy subsidiaries. Pension benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units are covered by a sep a Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan, a plan sponsored by Dominion Energy that provides certain retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits to multiple Dominion Energy subsidiaries. Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits for Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units are covered by a sep a Dominion Energy Gas included the separate pension and other postretirement benefit plans for East Ohio employees covered by collective bargaining units through November 2019, the effective date of the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring. See Note 3 for more information on the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring. Pension and other postretirement benefit costs are affected by employee demographics (including age, compensation levels and years of service), the level of contributions made to the plans and earnings on plan assets. These costs may also be affected by changes in key assumptions, including expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates, healthcare cost trend rates, mortality rates and the rate of compensation increases. Dominion Energy uses December 31 as the measurement date for all of its employee benefit plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. Dominion Energy uses the market-related value of pension plan assets to determine the expected return on plan assets, a component of net periodic pension cost, for all pension plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. The market-related value recognizes changes in fair value on a straight-line basis over a four-year period, which reduces year-to-year Dominion Energy’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans hold investments in trusts to fund employee benefit payments. Dominion Energy’s pension and other postretirement plan assets experienced aggregate actual returns (losses) of $2.1 billion and $(605) million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, versus expected returns of $848 million and $806 million, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ pension and other postretirement plan assets for employees represented by collective bargaining units experienced aggregate actual returns (losses) of $167 million and $(129) million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, versus expected returns of $70 million and $178 million, respectively. 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 such employee benefit plans and will be included in the determination of the amount of cash to be contributed to the employee benefit plans. Voluntary Retirement Program In March 2019, the Companies announced a voluntary retirement program to employees that meet certain age and service requirements. The voluntary retirement program will not compromise safety or the Companies’ ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations. In 2019, upon the determinations made concerning the number of employees that elected to participate in the program, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $427 million ($319 million after-tax) after-tax) after-tax) In the second quarter of 2019, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas remeasured their pension and other postretirement benefit plans as a result of the voluntary retirement program. The remeasurement resulted in an increase in the pension benefit obligation of $484 million and $32 million and an increase in the fair value of the pension plan assets of $671 million and $146 million for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas, respectively. In addition, the remeasurement resulted in an increase in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of $101 million and $8 million and an increase in the fair value of the other postretirement benefit plan assets of $156 million and $29 million for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas, respectively. The impact of the remeasurement on net periodic benefit cost (credit) was recognized prospectively from the remeasurement date. The discount rate used for the remeasurement was 4.07%—4.10% for the Dominion Energy pension plans, 4.10% for Dominion Energy Gas pension plans, 4.05%—4.08% for the Dominion Energy other postretirement benefit plans, and 4.05% for the Dominion Energy Gas other postretirement benefit plans. All other assumptions used for the remeasurement were consistent with the measurement as of December 31, 2018. In the third quarter of 2019, Dominion Energy remeasured a pension plan as a result of a settlement from the voluntary retirement program at SCANA. The settlement and related remeasurement resulted in an increase in the pension benefit obligation of $37 million and an increase in the fair value of the pension plan assets of $51 million for Dominion Energy. The impact of the remeasurement on net periodic benefit cost (credit) was recognized prospectively from the remeasurement date. The discount rate used for the remeasurement was 3.57%. All other assumptions used for the remeasurement were consistent with the measurement as of December 31, 2018.

The ABO for all of Dominion Energy’s defined benefit pension plans was $9.7 billion and $7.8 billion at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The ABO for the defined benefit pension plans covering Dominion Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units was $279 million and $689 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Under its funding policies, Dominion Energy evaluates plan funding requirements annually, usually in the fourth quarter after receiving updated plan information from its actuary. Based on the funded status of each plan and other factors, Dominion Energy determines the amount of contributions for the current year, if any, at that time. During 2019, Dominion Energy made $520 million of contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans, including 6.1 million shares of its common stock valued at $499 million. The shares were contributed through a private placement, exempt from registration requirements, with an independent fiduciary and investment manager to a separate account within the qualified defined benefit pension plans. Dominion Energy also entered into a registration rights agreement with the independent fiduciary and investment manager pursuant to which Dominion Energy agreed to provide registrations rights on customary terms with respect to the shares. Dominion Energy Gas did not make any contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2019. Dominion Energy expects to make $29 million of the minimum required contributions in 2020, and no contributions are currently expected in 2020 for Dominion Energy Gas. Certain regulatory authorities have held that amounts recovered in utility customers’ rates for other postretirement benefits, in excess of benefits actually paid during the year, must be deposited in trust funds dedicated for the sole purpose of paying such benefits. Accordingly, certain of Dominion Energy’s subsidiaries, including Dominion Energy Gas, fund other postretirement benefit costs through VEBAs. Dominion Energy’s remaining subsidiaries do not prefund other postretirement benefit costs but instead pay claims as presented. Dominion Energy’s contributions to VEBAs, all of which pertained to Dominion Energy Gas employees, totaled $12 million for 2019 and 2018, and Dominion Energy expects to contribute approximately $12 million to the Dominion Energy VEBAs in 2020, all of which pertains to Dominion Energy Gas employees. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas do not expect any pension or other postretirement plan assets to be returned during 2020. The following table provides information on the benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets for plans with a benefit obligation in excess of plan assets for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas (for employees represented by collective bargaining units): Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits As of December 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 (millions) Dominion Energy Benefit obligation $ 9,552 $ 7,705 $ 341 $ 164 Fair value of plan assets 7,471 5,398 10 136 Dominion Energy Gas Benefit obligation $ — $ — $ — $ 134 Fair value of plan assets — — — 126 The following table provides information on the ABO and fair value of plan assets for Dominion Energy’s pension plans with an ABO in excess of plan assets: As of December 31, 2019 2018 (millions) Accumulated benefit obligation $ 8,852 $ 7,056 Fair value of plan assets 7,471 5,398 The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ (for employees represented by collective bargaining units) plans: Estimated Future Benefit Payments Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits (millions) Dominion Energy 2020 $ 535 $ 120 2021 472 117 2022 511 116 2023 519 114 2024 536 113 2025-2029 2,792 528 Dominion Energy Gas 2020 $ 15 $ 8 2021 15 8 2022 15 8 2023 15 8 2024 15 8 2025-2029 79 36 Plan Assets Dominion Energy’s overall objective for investing its pension and other postretirement plan assets is to achieve appropriate long-term rates of return commensurate with prudent levels of risk. As a participating employer in various pension plans sponsored by Dominion Energy, Dominion Energy Gas is subject to Dominion Energy’s investment policies for such plans. To minimize risk, funds are broadly diversified among asset classes, investment strategies and investment advisors. The strategic target asset allocations for Dominion Energy’s pension funds are 28% U.S. equity, 18% non-U.S. large-cap, mid-cap small-cap Non-U.S. large-cap small-cap non-U.S. Dominion Energy also utilizes common/collective trust funds as an investment vehicle for its defined benefit plans. A common/collective trust fund is a pooled fund operated by a bank or trust company for investment of the assets of various organizations and individuals in a well-diversified portfolio. Common/collective trust funds are funds of grouped assets that follow various investment strategies. Strategic investment policies are established for Dominion Energy’s prefunded benefit plans based upon periodic asset/liability studies. Factors considered in setting the investment policy include employee demographics, liability growth rates, future discount rates, the funded status of the plans and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Deviations from the plans’ strategic allocation are a function of Dominion Energy’s assessments regarding short-term risk and reward opportunities in the capital markets and/or short-term market movements which result in the plans’ actual asset allocations varying from the strategic target asset allocations. Through periodic rebalancing, actual allocations are brought back in line with the target. Future asset/liability studies will focus on strategies to further reduce pension and other postretirement plan risk, while still achieving attractive levels of returns. Financial derivatives may be used to obtain or manage market exposures and to hedge assets and liabilities.

The components of AOCI and regulatory assets and liabilities for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ (for employees represented by collective bargaining units) plans that have not been recognized as components of net periodic benefit (credit) cost are as follows: Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits At December 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 (millions) Dominion Energy Net actuarial loss $ 3,327 $ 3,477 $ 241 $ 350 Prior service (credit) cost 5 7 (339 ) (393 ) Total (1) $ 3,332 $ 3,484 $ (98 ) $ (43 ) Dominion Energy Gas Net actuarial loss $ 150 $ 555 $ 44 $ 89 Prior service (credit) cost — — (49 ) (52 ) Total (2) $ 150 $ 555 $ (5 ) $ 37 (1) As of December 31, 2019, of the $3.3 billion and $(98) million related to pension benefits and other postretirement benefits, $2.0 billion and $(65) million, respectively, are included in AOCI, with the remainder included in regulatory assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2018, of the $3.5 billion and $(43) million related to pension benefits and other postretirement benefits, $2.0 billion and $(41) million, respectively, are included in AOCI, with the remainder included in regulatory assets and liabilities. (2) As of December 31, 2019, of the $150 million related to pension benefits, $147 million is included in AOCI, with the remainder included in regulatory assets and liabilities; the $(5) million related to other postretirement benefits is included entirely in regulatory assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2018, of the $555 million related to pension benefits, $200 million is included in AOCI, with the remainder included in noncurrent assets of discontinued operations; of the , $22 million in noncurrent assets of discontinued operations with the remainder included The following table provides the components of AOCI and regulatory assets and liabilities for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ (for employees represented by collective bargaining units) plans as of December 31, 2019 that are expected to be amortized as components of net periodic benefit (credit) cost in 2020: Pension Benefits Other Benefits (millions) Dominion Energy Net actuarial loss $194 $5 Prior service (credit) cost 1 (50 ) Dominion Energy Gas Net actuarial loss $7 $2 Prior service (credit) cost — (5 ) The expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates, healthcare cost trend rates and mortality are critical assumptions in determining net periodic benefit (credit) cost. Dominion Energy develops non-investment Dominion Energy determines the expected long-term rates of return on plan assets for its pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates, by using a combination of: • Expected inflation and risk-free interest rate assumptions; • Historical return analysis to determine long term historic returns as well as historic risk premiums for various asset classes; • Expected future risk premiums, asset classes’ volatilities and correlations; • Forward-looking return expectations derived from the yield on long-term bonds and the expected long-term returns of major capital market assumptions; and • Investment allocation of plan assets. Dominion Energy determines discount rates from analyses of AA/Aa rated bonds with cash flows matching the expected payments to be made under its plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. Mortality rates are developed from actual and projected plan experience for postretirement benefit plans. Dominion Energy’s actuary conducts an experience study periodically as part of the process to select its best estimate of mortality. Dominion Energy considers both standard mortality tables and improvement factors as well as the plans’ actual experience when selecting a best estimate. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for Dominion Energy’s retiree healthcare plans, including those in which Dominion Energy Gas participates. A one percentage point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have had the following effects for Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ (for employees represented by collective bargaining units) other postretirement benefit plans: Other Postretirement Benefits One percentage point increase One percentage point decrease (millions) Dominion Energy Effect on net periodic cost for 2020 $20 $(11) Effect on other postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2019 153 (128) Dominion Energy Gas Effect on net periodic cost for 2020 $2 $(2) Effect on other postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2019 14 (12) Dominion Energy Gas (Employees Not Represented by Collective Bargaining Units) and Virginia Power—Participation in Defined Benefit Plans Virginia Power employees and Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units are covered by the Dominion Energy Pension Plan described above. As participating employers, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas are subject to Dominion Energy’s funding policy, which is to contribute annually an amount that is in accordance with ERISA. During 2019, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas made no contributions to the Dominion Energy Pension Plan, and no contributions to this plan are currently expected in 2020. Virginia Power’s net periodic pension cost related to this plan was $152 million, $126 million and $110 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ net periodic pension credit related to this plan was $(8) million, $(35) million and $(35) million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net periodic pension (credit) cost is reflected in other operations and maintenance expense in their respective Consolidated Statements of Income, except for $(14) million, $(21) million and $(20) million of Dominion Energy Gas’ costs in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, that are recorded in net income from discontinued operations. The funded status of various Dominion Energy subsidiary groups and employee compensation are the basis for determining the share of total pension costs for participating Dominion Energy subsidiaries. See Note 25 for Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas amounts due to/from Dominion Energy related to this plan. Retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits, for Virginia Power employees and for Dominion Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units, are covered by the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan described above. Virginia Power’s net periodic benefit (credit) cost related to this plan was $(27) million, $(51) million and $(42) million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dominion Energy Gas’ net periodic benefit (credit) cost related to this plan was $(4) million, $(8) million and $(6) million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net periodic benefit (credit) cost is reflected in other operations and maintenance expenses in their respective Consolidated Statements of Income, except for less than $(1 ) million, $(2) million and $(2) million of Dominion Energy Gas’ costs in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, that are recorded in net income from discontinued operations. Employee headcount is the basis for determining the share of total other postretirement benefit costs for participating Dominion Energy subsidiaries. See Note 25 for Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas amounts due to/from Dominion Energy related to this plan. Dominion Energy holds investments in trusts to fund employee benefit payments for the pension and other postretirement benefit plans in which Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ employees participate. Any investment-related declines in these trusts will result in future increases in the net periodic cost recognized for such employee benefit plans and will be included in the determination of the amount of cash t |

Commitments And Contingencies | Note 23. Commitments and Contingencies As a result of issues generated in the ordinary course of business, the Companies are involved in legal proceedings before various courts and are periodically subject to governmental examinations (including by regulatory authorities), inquiries and investigations. Certain legal proceedings and governmental examinations involve demands for unspecified amounts of damages, are in an initial procedural phase, involve uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, or involve significant factual issues that need to be resolved, such that it is not possible for the Companies to estimate a range of possible loss. For such matters that the Companies cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the litigation or investigative processes such that the Companies are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For legal proceedings and governmental examinations that the Companies are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Any accrued liability is recorded on a gross basis with a receivable also recorded for any probable insurance recoveries. Estimated ranges of loss are inclusive of legal fees and net of any anticipated insurance recoveries. Any estimated range is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss may not represent the Companies’ maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such legal proceedings and governmental examinations will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. For current proceedings not specifically reported below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material effect on the Companies’ financial position, liquidity or results of operations. Environmental Matters The Companies are subject to costs resulting from a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. These laws and regulations affect future planning and existing operations. They can result in increased capital, operating and other costs as a result of compliance, remediation, containment and monitoring obligations. Air CAA 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 address all 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. MATS In February 2019, the EPA published a proposed rule to reverse its previous finding that it is appropriate and necessary to regulate toxic emissions from power plants. However, the emissions standards and other requirements of the MATS rule would remain in place as the EPA is not proposing to remove coal and oil-fired Ozone Standards The EPA published final non-attainment Oil and Gas NSPS In August 2012, the EPA issued an NSPS impacting new and modified facilities in the natural gas production and gathering sectors and made revisions to the NSPS for natural gas processing and transmission facilities. These rules establish equipment performance specifications and emissions standards for control of VOC emissions for natural gas production wells, tanks, pneumatic controllers, and compressors in the upstream sector. In June 2016, the EPA issued another NSPS regulation, for the oil and natural gas sector, to regulate methane and VOC emissions from new and modified facilities in transmission and storage, gathering and boosting, production and processing facilities. All projects which commenced construction after September 2015 are required to comply with this regulation. In October 2018, the EPA published a proposed rule reconsidering and amending portions of the 2016 rule, including but not limited to, the fugitive emissions requirements at well sites and compressor stations. The amended portions of the 2016 rule were effective immediately upon publication. Until the proposed rule regarding reconsideration is final, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are implementing the 2016 regulation. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas are still evaluating whether potential impacts on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows related to this matter will be material. 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. ACE Rule applies to existing coal-fired power plants. The final rule includes unit-specific performance standards based on the degree of emission reduction levels achievable from unit efficiency improvements to be determined by the permitting agency. The ACE Rule requires states to develop plans by July 2022, to implement these performance standards. These state plans must be approved by the EPA by January 2024. While the impacts of this rule could be material to Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities. 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, 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 the best operating practices. State Regulations In May 2019, VDEQ issued a final rule establishing a state carbon regulation program with a 28.0 million ton initial state-wide carbon cap in 2020. The cap is reduced by approximately three percent per year through 2030, resulting in an ultimate cap of 19.6 million tons. The final rule includes a provision for VDEQ to delay implementation of the rule and possible adjustments to the baseline cap pending authorization from the General Assembly and Governor of Virginia. Once VDEQ is authorized to begin implementation of the rule, the impacts of this program could be material to Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows; however, the existing regulatory framework in Virginia provides rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impact. 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 case-by-case 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 establishes 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 two separate petitions for reconsideration of the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule and stayed future compliance dates in the rule. Also in April 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted the EPA’s request for a stay of the pending consolidated litigation challenging the rule while the EPA addresses the petitions for reconsideration. In September 2017, the EPA signed a rule to postpone the earliest compliance dates for certain waste streams regulations in the Effluent Limitations Guidelines final rule from November 2018 to November 2020; however, the latest date for compliance for these regulations remains December 2023. While the impacts of this rule could be material to Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, the existing regulatory frameworks in South Carolina and Virginia provide rate recovery mechanisms that could substantially mitigate any such impacts for the regulated electric utilities. 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, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power or Dominion Energy Gas 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 11 sites associated with Dominion Energy, including certain sites acquired in the SCANA Combination, remediation work has been substantially completed under federal or state oversight. Where required, the sites are following state-approved groundwater monitoring programs. Dominion Energy has proposed or expects to propose remediation plans associated with three sites, including one at Virginia Power, and expects to conduct remediation activities primarily in 2020. As of December 31, 2019, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power have $34 million and $16 million, respectively, of reserves recorded, including a charge of $16 million ($12 million after-tax) that Virginia Power recorded in 2018, in other operations and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, for one site associated with Dominion Energy, an updated work plan submitted to SCDHEC in September 2018, would increase costs by approximately $8 million if approved. Dominion Energy is associated with 13 additional sites, including two associated with Virginia Power, which are not under investigation by any state or federal environmental agency nor the subject of any current or proposed plans to perform remediation activities. Due to the uncertainty surrounding such sites, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts. Ash Pond and Landfill Closure Costs In April 2015, the EPA enacted a final rule regulating CCR landfills, existing ash ponds that still receive and manage CCRs, and inactive ash ponds that do not receive, but still store, CCRs. Dominion Energy currently operates inactive ash ponds, existing ash ponds and CCR landfills subject to the final rule at 11 different facilities, eight of which are at Virginia Power. This rule created a legal obligation for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power to retrofit or close all of its inactive and existing ash ponds over a certain period of time, as well as perform required monitoring, corrective action, and post-closure care activities as necessary. In December 2016, legislation was enacted that creates a framework for EPA- In April 2017, the Governor of Virginia signed legislation into law that placed a moratorium on the VDEQ issuing solid waste permits for closure of ash ponds at Virginia Power’s Bremo, Chesapeake, Chesterfield and Possum Point power stations until May 2018. The law also required Virginia Power to conduct an assessment of closure alternatives for the ash ponds at these four stations, to include an evaluation of excavation for recycling or off-site on-site, after-tax) In March 2019, the Governor of Virginia signed into law legislation which requires any CCR unit located at Virginia Power’s Bremo, Chesapeake, Chesterfield or Possum Point power stations that stop accepting CCR prior to July 2019 be closed by removing the CCR to an approved landfill or through recycling for beneficial reuse. The legislation further requires that at least 6.8 million cubic yards of CCR be beneficially reused. Costs associated with the closure of these CCR units are recoverable through a rate adjustment clause approved by the Virginia Commission with a revenue requirement that cannot exceed $225 million in any 12-month after-tax) Other Legal Matters The Companies are defendants in a number of lawsuits and claims involving unrelated incidents of property damage and personal injury. Due to the uncertainty surrounding these matters, the Companies are unable to make an estimate of the potential financial statement impacts; however, they could have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. SCANA Legal Proceedings The following describes certain legal proceedings involving Dominion Energy, SCANA or DESC relating to events occurring before closing of the SCANA Combination. Dominion Energy intends to vigorously contest the lawsuits, claims and assessments which have been filed or initiated against SCANA and DESC. 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 include reserves of $696 million and insurance receivables of $111 million, included within other receivables at December 31, 2019. Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes charges of $641 million ($480 million after-tax Ratepayer Class Actions In May 2018, a consolidated complaint against DESC, SCANA and the State of South Carolina was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the DESC Ratepayer Case). In September 2018, the court certified this case as a class action. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that DESC was negligent and unjustly enriched, breached alleged fiduciary and contractual duties and committed fraud and misrepresentation in failing to properly manage the NND Project, and that DESC committed unfair trade practices and violated state anti-trust laws. The plaintiffs sought a declaratory judgment that DESC may not charge its customers for any past or continuing costs of the NND Project, sought to have SCANA and DESC’s assets frozen and all monies recovered from Toshiba Corporation and other sources be placed in a constructive trust for the benefit of ratepayers and sought specific performance of the alleged implied contract to construct the NND Project. In December 2018, the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County entered an order granting preliminary approval of a class action settlement and a stay of pre-trial In September 2017, a purported class action was filed by Santee Cooper ratepayers against Santee Cooper, DESC, Palmetto Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Central Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. in the State Court of Common Pleas in Hampton County, South Carolina (the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case). The allegations are substantially similar to those in the DESC Ratepayer Case. The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that the defendants may not charge the purported class for reimbursement for past or future costs of the NND Project. In March 2018, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint including as additional named defendants, including certain then current and former directors of Santee Cooper and SCANA. In June 2018, Santee Cooper filed a Notice of Petition for Original Jurisdiction with the Supreme Court of South Carolina. In December 2018, Santee Cooper filed its answer to the plaintiffs’ fourth amended complaint and filed cross claims against DESC, which was denied. In October 2019, Santee Cooper voluntarily consented to stay its cross claims against DESC pending the outcome of the trial of the underlying case. In November 2019, DESC removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. In December 2019, the plaintiffs and Santee Cooper filed a motion to remand the case to state court. In January 2020, the case was remanded to state court. In February 2020, the parties executed a preliminary settlement term sheet relating to this matter as well as the Luquire Case and the Glibowski Case described below. The proposed settlement is expected to be $520 million, of which Dominion Energy’s portion is $320 million. The parties are currently negotiating a settlement agreement based on the preliminary settlement term sheet that will be presented to the court for preliminary approval. This case is pending. In July 2019, a similar purported class action was filed by certain Santee Cooper ratepayers against DESC, SCANA, Dominion Energy and former directors and officers of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Orangeburg, South Carolina (the Luquire Case). In August 2019, DESC, SCANA and Dominion Energy were voluntarily dismissed from the case. The claims are similar to the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case. In February 2020, the parties executed a preliminary settlement term sheet as described above relating to this matter as well as the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case and the Glibowski Case. This case is pending. RICO Class Action In January 2018, a purported class action was filed, and subsequently amended, against SCANA, DESC and certain former executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina (the Glibowski Case). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that SCANA, DESC and the individual defendants participated in an unlawful racketeering enterprise in violation of RICO and conspired to violate RICO by fraudulently inflating utility bills to generate unlawful proceeds. The DESC Ratepayer Class Action settlement described previously contemplates dismissal of claims by DESC ratepayers in this case against DESC, SCANA and their officers. In August 2019, the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss. In February 2020, the parties executed a preliminary settlement term sheet as described above relating to this matter as well as the Santee Cooper Ratepayer Case and the Luquire Case. This case is pending. SCANA Shareholder Litigation In September 2017, a purported class action was filed against SCANA and certain former executive officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. Subsequent additional purported class actions were separately filed against all or nearly all of these defendants. In January 2018, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina consolidated these suits, and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint in March 2018. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants violated §10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 the defendants’ motions to dismiss. In December 2019, the parties executed a settlement agreement pursuant to which SCANA will pay $192.5 million, up to $32.5 million of which can be satisfied through the issuance of shares of Dominion Energy common stock, subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. In February 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted preliminary approval of the settlement agreement, pending a fairness hearing. In September 2017, a shareholder derivative action was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina. In September 2018, this action was consolidated with another action in the Business Court Pilot Program in Richland County. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, and that the defendants were unjustly enriched by bonuses they were paid in connection with the project. The defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated action. In February 2019, one action was voluntarily dismissed. This case is pending. In January 2018, a purported class action was filed against SCANA, Dominion Energy and certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Lexington County, South Carolina (the City of Warren Lawsuit). The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that defendants violated their fiduciary duties to shareholders by executing a merger agreement that would unfairly deprive plaintiffs of the true value of their SCANA stock, and that Dominion Energy aided and abetted these actions. Among other remedies, the plaintiff seeks to enjoin and/or rescind the merger. In February 2018, Dominion Energy removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, and filed a Motion to Dismiss in March 2018. In June 2018, the case was remanded back to the State Court of Common Pleas in Lexington County. Dominion Energy appealed the decision to remand to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, where the appeal was consolidated with a similar appeal in the Metzler Lawsuit discussed below. In June 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the order remanding the case to state court. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. In February 2018, a purported class action was filed against Dominion Energy and certain former directors of SCANA and DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina (the Metzler Lawsuit). The allegations made and the relief sought by the plaintiffs are substantially similar to that described for the City of Warren Lawsuit. In February 2018, Dominion Energy removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, and filed a Motion to Dismiss in March 2018. In August 2018, the case was remanded back to the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County. Dominion Energy appealed the decision to remand to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, where the appeal was consolidated with the City of Warren Lawsuit. In June 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the order remanding the case to state court. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. In September 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted the plaintiffs’ motion to consolidate the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit. In October 2019, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against certain former directors and executive officers of SCANA and DESC, which stated substantially similar allegations to those in the City of Warren Lawsuit and the Metzler Lawsuit. In November 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. This case is pending. In May 2019, a case was filed against certain former executive officers and directors of SCANA in the State Court of Common Pleas in Richland County, South Carolina. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by their gross mismanagement of the NND Project, were unjustly enriched by the bonuses they were paid in connection with the project and breached their fiduciary duties to non-South Employment Class Actions and Indemnification In August 2017, a case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina on behalf of persons who were formerly employed at the NND Project. In July 2018, the court certified this case as a class action. In February 2019, certain of these plaintiffs filed an additional case, which case has been dismissed and the plaintiffs have joined the case filed August 2017. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that SCANA, DESC, Fluor Corporation and Fluor Enterprises, Inc. violated the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act in connection with the decision to stop construction at the NND Project. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants failed to provide adequate advance written notice of their terminations of employment and are seeking damages, which could be as much as $100 million for 100% of the NND Project. In September 2018, a case was filed in the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina by Fluor Enterprises, Inc. and Fluor Daniel Maintenance Services, Inc. against DESC and Santee Cooper. The plaintiffs make claims for indemnification, breach of contract and promissory estoppel arising from, among other things, the defendants’ alleged failure and refusal to defend and indemnify the Fluor defendants in the aforementioned case. These cases are pending. FILOT Litigation and Related Matters In November 2017, Fairfield County filed a complaint and a motion for temporary injunction against DESC in the State Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, South Carolina, making allegations of breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and unfair trade practices related to DESC’s termination of the FILOT agreement between DESC and Fairfield County related to the NND Project. The plaintiff sought a temporary and permanent injunction to prevent DESC from terminating the FILOT agreement. The plaintiff withdrew the motion for temporary injunction in December 2017. This case is pending. Governmental Proceedings and Investigations In June 2018, DESC received a notice of proposed assessment of approximately $410 million, excluding interest, from the SCDOR following its audit of DESC’s sales and use tax returns for the periods September 1, 2008 through December 31, 2017. The proposed assessment, which includes 100% of the NND Project, is based on the SCDOR’s position that DESC’s sales and use tax exemption for the NND Project does not apply because the facility will not become operational. DESC has protested the proposed assessment, which remains pending. In September and October 2017, SCANA was served with subpoenas issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina and the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement seeking documents related to the NND Project. In February 2020, the SEC filed a complaint against SCANA, two of its former executive officers and DESC in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements about the NND Project. In addition, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is conducting a criminal investigation into the handling of the NND Project by SCANA and DESC. These matters are pending. SCANA and DESC are cooperating fully with the investigations, including responding to additional subpoenas and document requests; however, Dominion Energy cannot currently predict whether or to what extent SCANA or DESC may incur a material liability. Other Litigation In December 2018, arbitration proceedings commenced between DESC and Cameco Corporation related to a supply agreement signed in May 2008. This agreement provides the terms and conditions under which DESC agreed to purchase uranium hexafluoride from Cameco Corporation over a period from 2010 to 2020. Cameco Corporation alleges that DESC violated this agreement by failing to purchase the stated quantities of uranium hexafluoride for the 2017 and 2018 delivery years. DESC denies that it is in breach of the agreement and believes that it has reduced its purchase quantity within the terms of the agreement. This matter is pending. Abandoned NND Project DESC, for itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, entered into an engineering, construction and procurement contract with Westinghouse and WECTEC in 2008 for the design and construction of the NND Project, of which DESC’s ownership share is 55%. Various difficulties were encountered in connection with the project. The ability of Westinghouse and WECTEC to adhere to established budgets and construction schedules was affected by many variables, including unanticipated difficulties encountered in connection with project engineering and the construction of project components, constrained financial resources of the contractors, regulatory, legal, training and construction processes associated with securing approvals, permits and licenses and necessary amendments to them within projected time frames, the availability of labor and materials at estimated costs and the efficiency of project labor. There were also contractor and supplier performance issues, difficulties in timely meeting critical regulatory requirements, contract disputes, and changes in key contractors or subcontractors. These matters preceded the filing for bankruptcy protection by Westinghouse and WECTEC in March 2017, and were the subject of comprehensive analyses performed by SCANA and Santee Cooper. Based on the results of SCANA’s analysis, and in light of Santee Cooper’s decision to suspend construction on the NND Project, in July 2017, SCANA determined to stop the construction of the units and to pursue recovery of costs incurred in connection with the construction under the abandonment provisions of the Base Load Review Act or through other means. This decision by SCANA became the focus of numerous legislative, regulatory and legal proceedings. Some of these proceedings remain unresolved and are described above. In September 2017, DESC, for itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York Proofs of Claim for unliquidated damages against each of Westinghouse and WECTEC. These Proofs of Claim were based upon the anticipatory repudiation and material breach by Westinghouse and WECTEC of the contract, and assert against Westinghouse and WECTEC any and all claims that are based there |

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
Credit Risk | Note 24. Credit Risk Dominion Energy As a diversified energy company, Dominion Energy transacts primarily with major companies in the energy industry and with commercial and residential energy consumers. These transactions principally occur in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, Dominion Energy’s exposure to credit risk is concentrated primarily within its energy marketing and price risk management activities, as Dominion Energy transacts with a smaller, less diverse group of counterparties and transactions may involve large notional volumes and potentially volatile commodity prices. Energy marketing and price risk management activities include marketing of merchant generation output, structured transactions and the use of financial contracts for enterprise-wide hedging purposes. Gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- off-balance non-investment Virginia Power Virginia Power sells electricity and provides distribution and transmission services to customers in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Management believes that this geographic concentration risk is mitigated by the diversity of Virginia Power’s customer base, which includes residential, commercial and industrial customers, as well as rural electric cooperatives and municipalities. Credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable from energy consumers is limited due to the large number of customers. Virginia Power’s exposure to potential concentrations of credit risk results primarily from sales to wholesale customers. Virginia Power’s gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- off-balance Dominion Energy Gas Dominion Energy Gas transacts mainly with major companies in the energy industry. These transactions principally occur in the eastern and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S. Dominion Energy Gas does not believe that this geographic concentration contributes to its overall exposure to credit risk. In addition, as a result of its large and diverse customer base, Dominion Energy Gas is not exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk for receivables arising from its regulated operations. Dominion Energy Gas’ gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- off-balance non-investment Upon the Liquefaction Facility commencing commercial operations in April 2018, the majority of Cove Point’s revenue and earnings are expected to be generated from annual reservation payments under certain terminalling, storage and transportation contracts with the Export Customers. If such agreements were terminated and Cove Point was unable to replace such agreements on comparable terms, there could be a material impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. The Export Customers comprised approximately 34% and 32% of Dominion Energy Gas’ operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with Dominion Energy Gas’ largest customer representing approximately 17% and 12% of such amounts. In 2019, DETI provided service to 296 customers with approximately 98% of its storage and transportation revenue being provided through firm services. The ten largest customers provided approximately 38% of the total storage and transportation revenue and the thirty largest provided approximately 72% of the total storage and transportation revenue. Credit-Related Contingent Provisions The majority 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 December 31, 2019 and 2018, Dominion Energy would have been required to post an additional $10 million and $1 million, respectively, of 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 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 December 31, 2019, Virginia Power would have been required to post an additional $8 million of collateral to its counterparties. Credit-related contingent provisions for Virginia Power were not material as of December 31, 2018. Credit-related contingent provisions for Dominion Energy Gas were not material as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. See Note 7 for further information about derivative instruments. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related-Party Transactions | Note 25. Related-party Transactions Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas engage in related party transactions primarily with other Dominion Energy subsidiaries (affiliates). Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ 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 and Dominion Energy Gas are 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. See Note 2 for further information. Dominion Energy’s transactions with equity method investments are described in Note 9. A discussion of significant related party transactions follows. Virginia Power Transactions with Affiliates Virginia Power transacts with affiliates for certain quantities of natural gas and other commodities in the ordinary course of business. Virginia Power also enters into certain commodity derivative contracts with affiliates. Virginia Power uses these contracts, which are principally comprised of forward commodity purchases, to manage commodity price risks associated with purchases of natural gas. See Notes 7 and 19 for more information. As of December 31, 2019, Virginia Power’s derivative assets and liabilities with affiliates were $3 million and $53 million, respectively.

DES and other affiliates provide accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services to Virginia Power. In addition, Virginia Power provides certain services to affiliates, including charges for facilities and equipment usage. The financial statements for all years presented include costs for certain general, administrative and corporate expenses assigned by DES to Virginia Power on the basis of direct and allocated methods in accordance with Virginia Power’s services agreements with DES. Where costs incurred cannot be determined by specific identification, the costs are allocated based on the proportional level of effort devoted by DES resources that is attributable to the entity, determined by reference to number of employees, salaries and wages and other similar measures for the relevant DES service. Management believes the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocation of general corporate overhead expenses are reasonable. Presented below are significant transactions with DES and other affiliates: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 (millions) Commodity purchases from affiliates $ 690 $ 930 $ 674 Services provided by affiliates (1) 503 450 453 Services provided to affiliates 24 24 25 (1) Includes capitalized expenditures of $133 million, $145 million and $144 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

There were $107 million and $224 million in short-term demand note borrowings from Dominion Energy as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate of these borrowings was 3.22% and 2.94% at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Virginia Power had no outstanding borrowings, net of repayments under the Dominion Energy money pool for its nonregulated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Interest charges related to Virginia Power’s borrowings from Dominion Energy were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. There were no issuances of Virginia Power’s common stock to Dominion Energy in 2019, 2018 or 2017. Dominion Energy Gas Transactions with Related Parties Dominion Energy Gas transacts with affiliates for certain quantities of natural gas and other commodities at market prices in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, Dominion Energy Gas provides transportation and storage services to affiliates. Dominion Energy Gas also enters into certain other contracts with affiliates, and related parties, including construction services, which are presented separately from contracts involving commodities or services. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, Dominion Energy Gas did not have any commodity derivative assets and liabilities. See Notes 7 and 20 for more information. See Note 9 for information regarding transactions with an affiliate. See Note 3 for information regarding the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring, an affiliated transaction. Dominion Energy Gas participates in certain Dominion Energy benefit plans as described in Note 22. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, Dominion Energy Gas’ amounts due from Dominion Energy associated with the Dominion Energy Pension Plan and reflected in noncurrent pension and other postretirement benefit assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $326 million and $319 million, respectively.

DES, DECGS, DEQPS and other affiliates provide accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services to Dominion Energy Gas. Dominion Energy Gas provides certain services to related parties, including technical services. The financial statements for all years presented include costs for certain general, administrative and corporate expenses assigned by DES, DECGS and DEQPS to Dominion Energy Gas on the basis of direct and allocated methods in accordance with Dominion Energy Gas’ services agreements with DES, DECGS and DEQPS. Where costs incurred cannot be determined by specific identification, the costs are allocated based on the proportional level of effort devoted by DES, DECGS and DEQPS 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. The costs of these services follow: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 (millions) Sales of natural gas and transportation and storage services $ 249 $ 168 $ 173 Purchases of natural gas and transportation and storage services 12 — 10 Services provided by related parties (1) 226 169 193 Services provided to related parties (2) 164 260 190 (1) Includes capitalized expenditures of $19 million, $37 million and $53 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Significant Accounting Polici_2
Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2019 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Estimates | 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, expenses and cash flows for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |
Consolidation | The Companies’ Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, their accounts, those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly-owned |
Consolidation, consolidated entities and noncontrolling interest | For certain partnership structures, income is allocated based on the liquidation value of the underlying contractual arrangements. At December 31, 2019 Dominion Energy owns 50% of the voting interests in Four Brothers and Three Cedars and has a controlling financial interest over the entities through its right to control operations. In August 2018, NRG’s ownership interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars was transferred to GIP. GIP’s ownership interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars, Terra Nova Renewable Partners’ 33% interest in certain Dominion Energy’s merchant solar projects, Brookfield’s 25% interest in Cove Point and the non-Dominion Energy held interest in Dominion Energy Midstream (through January 2019) are reflected as noncontrolling interest in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Reclassifications | Certain amounts in the Companies’ 2018 and 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation for comparative purposes; however, such reclassifications did not affect the Companies’ net income, total assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows. |
Operating Revenue | Operating Revenue Operating revenue is recorded on the basis of services rendered, commodities delivered, or contracts settled and includes amounts yet to be billed to customers. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power collect sales, consumption and consumer utility taxes and Dominion Energy Gas collects sales taxes; however, these amounts are excluded from revenue. Dominion Energy’s customer receivables at December 31, 2019 and 2018 included $896 million and $626 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of electricity and natural gas delivered but not yet billed to its utility customers. Virginia Power’s customer receivables at December 31, 2019 and 2018 included $512 million and $392 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of electricity delivered but not yet billed to its customers. Dominion Energy Gas’ customer receivables at December 31, 2019 and 2018 included $104 million and $101 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of natural gas delivered but not yet billed to its customers. See Note 25 for amounts attributable to related parties. The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: Revenue from Contracts with Customers • Regulated electric sales • Nonregulated electric sales • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Regulated gas transportation and storage sales • Nonregulated gas transportation and storage sales • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue Other Revenue • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated electric sales • Nonregulated electric sales • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Gas transportation and storage sales • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Virginia Power, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: Revenue from Contracts with Customers • Regulated electric sales • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue non-jurisdictional Other Revenue • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Virginia Power, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated electric sales • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy Gas, subsequent to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, are as follows: Revenue from Contracts with Customers • Regulated gas sales—wholesale • Nonregulated gas sales • Regulated gas transportation and storage sales • Nonregulated gas transportation and storage sales • Management service revenue • Other regulated revenue • Other nonregulated revenue Other Revenue • Other revenue The primary types of sales and service activities reported as operating revenue for Dominion Energy Gas, prior to the adoption of revised guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, were as follows: • Regulated gas sales • Nonregulated gas sales • Gas transportation and storage sales • Other revenue O perating revenue for East Ohio and DGP consists primarily of state-regulated natural gas sales and related distribution services, state-regulated gas distribution charges to retail distribution service customers opting for alternate suppliers and sales of NGL gathering and processing activities, and is included in net income from discontinued operations in Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income through November 6, 2019. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record refunds to customers as required by state commissions as a reduction to regulated electric sales or regulated gas sales, as applicable. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s revenue accounted for under the alternative revenue program guidance primarily consists of the equity return for under-recovery of certain riders. Alternative revenue programs compensate Dominion Energy and Virginia Power for certain projects and initiatives. Revenues arising from these programs are presented separately from revenue arising from contracts with customers in the categories above. Revenues from electric and gas sales are recognized over time, as the customers of the Companies consume gas and electricity as it is delivered. Transportation and storage contracts are primarily stand-ready service contracts that include fixed reservation and variable usage fees. LNG terminalling services are also stand-ready service contracts, primarily consisting of fixed fees, offset by service credits associated with the start-up Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas typically receive or retain NGLs and natural gas from customers when providing natural gas processing, transportation or storage services. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas record the fair value of NGLs received during natural gas processing as service revenue recognized over time, and continue to recognize revenue from the subsequent sale of the NGLs to customers upon delivery. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas typically retain natural gas under certain transportation service arrangements that are intended to facilitate performance of the service and allow for natural losses that occur. As the intent of the allowance is to enable fulfillment of the contract rather than to provide compensation for services, the fuel allowance is not included in revenue. |
Electric Fuel, Purchased Energy and Purchased Gas-Deferred Costs | Electric Fuel, Purchased Energy and Purchased Gas-Deferred Where permitted by regulatory authorities, the differences between Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s actual electric fuel and purchased energy expenses and Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ purchased gas expenses and the related levels of recovery for these expenses in current rates are deferred and matched against recoveries in future periods. The deferral of costs in excess of current period fuel rate recovery is recognized as a regulatory asset, while rate recovery in excess of current period fuel expenses is recognized as a regulatory liability. Of the cost of fuel used in electric generation and energy purchases to serve Virginia utility customers, at December 31, 2019, approximately 84% is subject to Virginia Power’s deferred fuel accounting, while substantially all of the remaining amount is subject to recovery through similar mechanisms. Virtually all of East Ohio, Questar Gas, Hope, DESC and PSNC’s natural gas purchases are either subject to deferral accounting or are recovered from the customer in the same accounting period as the sale. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes A consolidated federal income tax return is filed for Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries, including Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ subsidiaries. In addition, where applicable, combined income tax returns for Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries are filed in various states; otherwise, separate state income tax returns are filed. Although Dominion Energy Gas and certain of its subsidiaries are disregarded for income tax purposes, a provision for income taxes is recognized to reflect the inclusion of its business activities in the tax returns of its parent, Dominion Energy. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas participate in intercompany tax sharing agreements with Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries. Current income taxes are based on taxable income or loss and credits determined on a separate company basis. Under the agreements, if a subsidiary incurs a tax loss or earns a credit, recognition of current income tax benefits is limited to refunds of prior year taxes obtained by the carryback of the net operating loss or credit or to the extent the tax loss or credit is absorbed by the taxable income of other Dominion Energy consolidated group members. Otherwise, the net operating loss or credit is carried forward and is recognized as a deferred tax asset until realized. The 2017 Tax Reform Act included a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting the Companies, including changes in corporate tax rates and business deductions. The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduces the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are realized or settled. Thus, at the date of enactment, federal deferred taxes were remeasured based upon the new 21% tax rate. The total effect of tax rate changes on deferred tax balances was recorded as a component of the income tax provision related to continuing operations for the period in which the law is enacted, even if the assets and liabilities relate to other components of the financial statements, such as items of accumulated other comprehensive income. For Dominion Energy subsidiaries that are not rate-regulated utilities, existing deferred income tax assets or liabilities were adjusted for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate and allocated to continuing operations. Dominion Energy’s rate-regulated utility subsidiaries likewise were required to adjust deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the change in income tax rates. However, if it is probable that the effect of the change in income tax rates will be recovered or refunded in future rates, the regulated utility recorded a regulatory asset or liability instead of an increase or decrease to deferred income tax expense. Accounting for income taxes involves an asset and liability approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided, representing future effects on income taxes for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Accordingly, deferred taxes are recognized for the future consequences of different treatments used for the reporting of transactions in financial accounting and income tax returns. The Companies establish a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not The Companies recognize positions taken, or expected to be taken, in income tax returns that are more-likely-than-not If it is not more-likely-than-not The Companies recognize interest on underpayments and overpayments of income taxes in interest expense and other income, respectively. Penalties are also recognized in other income. Interest expense for the Companies was immaterial in 2019 and 2018. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power both recognized interest income of $11 million in 2017. Dominion Energy Gas’ interest was immaterial in 2017. The Companies’ penalties were immaterial in 2019, 2018 and 2017. At December 31, 2019, Virginia Power had an income tax-related In addition, Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019 included $10 million of state income taxes receivable. State income taxes receivable at Virginia Power were immaterial at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2018, Virginia Power had an income tax-related In addition, Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 included $15 million of state income taxes receivable. State income taxes receivable at Virginia Power were immaterial at December 31, 2018. Investment tax credits are recognized by nonregulated operations in the year qualifying property is placed in service. For regulated operations, investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the service lives of the properties giving rise to the credits. Production tax credits are recognized as energy is generated and sold. |
Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents | Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents Cash, restricted cash and equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and temporary investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Current banking arrangements generally do not require checks to be funded until they are presented for payment. The following table illustrates the checks outstanding but not yet presented for payment and recorded in accounts payable for the Companies: At December 31, 2019 2018 (millions) Dominion Energy $ 29 $ 35 Virginia Power 9 16 Dominion Energy Gas 6 7 Restricted Cash and Equivalents The Companies hold restricted cash and equivalent balances that primarily consist of amounts held for litigation settlements, customer deposits and future debt payments on SBL Holdco and Dominion Solar Projects III, Inc.’s term loan agreements and on Eagle Solar’s senior note agreement. The following table provides a reconciliation of the total cash, restricted cash and equivalents reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets to the corresponding amounts reported within the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017: Cash, Restricted Cash and Equivalents at December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, (millions) Dominion Energy Cash and cash equivalents $166 $268 $120 $261 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 103 123 65 61 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $269 $391 $185 $322 Virginia Power Cash and cash equivalents $ 17 $ 29 $ 14 $ 11 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 7 9 10 — Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 24 $ 38 $ 24 $ 11 Dominion Energy Gas Cash and cash equivalents (2) $ 27 $108 $ 18 $ 76 Restricted cash and equivalents (1) 12 90 39 45 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 39 $198 $ 57 $121 (1) Restricted cash and equivalent balances are presented within other current assets in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. (2) At December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, Dominion Energy Gas had $9 million, $3 million and $14 million of cash and cash equivalents included in current assets of discontinued operations, respectively. Distributions from Equity Method Investees Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas each hold investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas classify distributions from equity method investees as either cash flows from operating activities or cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows according to the nature of the distribution. Distributions received are classified on the basis of the nature of the activity of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as cash flows from operating activities) or a return of an investment (classified as cash flows from investing activities) when such information is available to Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Companies are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products they market and purchase, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of their business operations. Dominion Energy uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage the commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks of its business operations. Virginia Power uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures, swaps, options and FTRs to manage commodity and interest rate risks. Dominion Energy Gas uses derivative instruments such as physical and financial forwards, futures and swaps to manage commodity, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks. All derivatives, except those for which an exception applies, are required to be reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Derivative contracts representing unrealized gain positions and purchased options are reported as derivative assets. Derivative contracts representing unrealized losses and options sold are reported as derivative liabilities. One of the exceptions to fair value accounting, normal purchases and normal sales, may be elected when the contract satisfies certain criteria, including a requirement that physical delivery of the underlying commodity is probable. Expenses and revenues resulting from deliveries under normal purchase contracts and normal sales contracts, respectively, are included in earnings at the time of contract performance. The Companies do not offset amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. Dominion Energy had margin assets of $42 million and $95 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Dominion Energy’s margin liabilities of $2 million and less than $1 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Virginia Power had margin assets of less than $1 million associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019. Virginia Power had no margin assets associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2018 and no margin liabilities associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018. Dominion Energy Gas had no margin assets or liabilities associated with cash collateral at December 31, 2019 and 2018. See Note 7 for further information about derivatives. To manage price risk, the Companies hold derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. However, to the extent the Companies do not hold offsetting positions for such derivatives, they believe these instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate their exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. All income statement activity, including amounts realized upon settlement, is presented in operating revenue, operating expenses, interest and related charges or other income based on the nature of the underlying risk. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments result in the recognition of regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities for jurisdictions subject to cost-based rate regulation. Realized gains or losses on the derivative instruments are generally recognized when the related transactions impact earnings. Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedging Instruments In accordance with accounting guidance pertaining to derivatives and hedge accounting, the Companies designate a portion of their derivative instruments as either cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges, the cash flows from the derivatives and from the related hedged items are classified in operating cash flows. Cash Flow Hedges Dominion Energy entered into interest rate derivative instruments to hedge its forecasted interest payments related to planned debt issuances in 2014. These interest rate derivatives were designated by Dominion Energy as cash flow hedges prior to the formation of Dominion Energy Gas. For the purposes of the Dominion Energy Gas financial statements, the derivative balances, AOCI balance, and any income statement impact related to these interest rate derivative instruments entered into by Dominion Energy have been, and will continue to be, included in the Dominion Energy Gas’ Consolidated Financial Statements as the forecasted interest payments related to the debt issuances now occur at Dominion Energy Gas. Fair Value Hedges |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at lower of original cost or fair value, if impaired. Capitalized costs include labor, materials and other direct and indirect costs such as asset retirement costs, capitalized interest and, for certain operations subject to cost-of-service In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy capitalized interest costs and AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $89 million, $134 million and $236 million, respectively. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power capitalized AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $34 million, $56 million and $37 million, respectively. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Dominion Energy Gas capitalized AFUDC to property, plant and equipment of $31 million, $25 million and $34 million, respectively. Under Virginia law, certain Virginia jurisdictional projects qualify for current recovery of AFUDC through rate adjustment clauses. AFUDC on these projects is calculated and recorded as a regulatory asset and is not capitalized to property, plant and equipment. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Virginia Power recorded $11 million, $4 million and $22 million of AFUDC related to these projects, respectively. For property subject to cost-of-service cost-of-service plant-in-service In 2019, Virginia Power had the following charges, primarily recorded in impairment of assets and other charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income (reflected in the Corporate and Other segment), related to early retirements: • In January 2019, Virginia Power committed to a plan to retire certain automated metering reading infrastructure associated with its electric operations before the end of its estimated useful life and replace such equipment with more current AMI technology. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $160 million ($119 million after-tax). • In March 2019, Virginia Power committed to retire certain electric generating units before the end of their useful lives and completed the retirement of certain units at six facilities representing 1,292 MW of electric generating capacity, which had previously been placed in cold reserve. An additional unit at Possum Point power station will be retired after it meets its capacity obligation to PJM in 2021. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $346 million ($257 million after-tax • In May 2019, Virginia Power abandoned a coal rail project at its Mt. Storm generating facility. As a result, Virginia Power recorded a charge of $62 million ($46 million after-tax). • In September 2019, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power abandoned certain property, plant and equipment before the end of its useful life. As a result, Dominion Energy recorded a charge of $26 million ($19 million after-tax) after-tax). For property that is not subject to cost-of-service Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed on the straight-line method based on projected service lives. The Companies’ average composite depreciation rates on utility property, plant and equipment are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 (percent) Dominion Energy Generation 2.84 2.71 2.94 Transmission 2.47 2.54 2.55 Distribution 2.80 2.97 3.00 Storage 2.40 2.40 2.48 General and other 4.04 4.20 4.38 Virginia Power Generation 2.94 2.71 2.94 Transmission 2.54 2.52 2.54 Distribution 3.14 3.31 3.32 General and other 4.40 4.52 4.68 Dominion Energy Gas (1) Transmission 2.43 2.66 2.67 Storage 2.53 2.42 2.51 General and other 4.59 4.18 5.08 (1) Excludes rates for depreciation reported as discontinued operations. Virginia Power expects to receive an updated depreciation study for its nuclear plants in the first quarter of 2020, which is anticipated to reflect lower depreciation rates as a result of expected approval of license extensions from the NRC. In 2018, Virginia Power revised depreciation rates for regulated nuclear plants to comply with Virginia Commission requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2018, this adjustment resulted in a decrease of $60 million ($44 million after-tax) after-tax). In 2017, Virginia Power revised the depreciation rates for its assets to reflect the results of a new depreciation study. This change resulted in an increase in annual depreciation expense of $40 million ($25 million after-tax) after-tax) Virginia Power’s non-jurisdictional property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Capitalized costs of development wells and leaseholds are amortized on a field-by-field unit-of-production Dominion Energy’s nonutility property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Asset Estimated Useful Lives Merchant generation-nuclear 44 years Merchant generation-other 15-30 Nonutility gas gathering and processing 3-50 LNG facility 40 years General and other 5-59 Depreciation and amortization related to Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ nonutility property, plant and equipment and exploration and production properties was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, except for Dominion Energy Gas’ nonutility LNG facility which is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Nuclear fuel used in electric generation is amortized over its estimated service life on a units-of-production |
Long-Lived and Intangible Assets | Long-Lived and Intangible Assets The Companies perform an evaluation for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets or intangible assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. A long-lived or intangible asset is written down to fair value if the sum of its expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than its carrying amount. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. See Note 6 for further discussion on the impairment of long-lived assets. |
Regulatory Assets and Liabilities | Regulatory Assets and Liabilities The accounting for the Companies’ regulated electric and gas operations differs from the accounting for nonregulated operations in that the Companies are required to reflect the effect of rate regulation in their Consolidated Financial Statements. For regulated businesses subject to federal or state cost-of-service The Companies evaluate whether or not recovery of its regulatory assets through future rates is probable as well as whether a regulatory liability due to customers is probable and makes various assumptions in its analyses. These analyses are generally based on: • Orders issued by regulatory commissions, legislation and judicial actions; • Past experience; • Discussions with applicable regulatory authorities and legal counsel; • Forecasted earnings; and • Considerations around the likelihood of impacts from events such as unusual weather conditions, extreme weather events and other natural disasters and unplanned outages of facilities. Generally, regulatory assets and liabilities are amortized into income over the period authorized by the regulator. If recovery of a regulatory asset is determined to be less than probable, it will be written off in the period such assessment is made. A regulatory liability, if considered probable, will be recorded in the period such assessment is made or reversed into earnings if no longer probable. See Notes 12 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information |
Leases | Leases The Companies lease certain assets including vehicles, real estate, office equipment and other operational assets under both operating and finance leases. For the Companies’ operating leases, rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement, subject to regulatory framework. Rent expense associated with operating leases, short-term leases and variable leases is primarily recorded in other operations and maintenance expense in the Companies’ Consolidated Statements of Income. Rent expense associated with finance leases results in the separate presentation of interest expense on the lease liability and amortization expense of the related right-of-use Certain of the Companies’ leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease from one right-of-use The determination of the discount rate utilized has a significant impact on the calculation of the present value of the lease liability included in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the Companies’ fleet of leased vehicles, the discount rate is equal to the prevailing borrowing rate earned by the lessor. For the Companies’ remaining leased assets, the discount rate implicit in the lease is generally unable to be determined from a lessee perspective. As such, the Companies use internally-developed incremental borrowing rates as a discount rate in the calculation of the present value of the lease liability. The incremental borrowing rates are determined based on an analysis of the Companies’ publicly available unsecured borrowing rates, adjusted for a collateral discount, over various lengths of time that most closely correspond to the Companies’ lease maturities. In addition, Dominion Energy acts as lessor under certain power purchase agreements in which the counterparty or counterparties purchase substantially all of the output of certain solar facilities. These leases are considered operating in nature. For such leasing arrangements, rental revenue and an associated accounts receivable are recorded when the monthly output of the solar facility is determined. Depreciation on these solar facilities is computed on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 30 years. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations The Companies recognize AROs at fair value as incurred or when sufficient information becomes available to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value of future retirement activities to be performed, for which a legal obligation exists. These amounts are generally capitalized as costs of the related tangible long-lived assets. Since relevant market information is not available, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. Quarterly, the Companies assess their AROs to determine if circumstances indicate that estimates of the amounts or timing of future cash flows associated with retirement activities have changed. AROs are adjusted when significant changes in the amounts or timing of future cash flows are identified. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with their natural gas pipeline and storage well assets as an adjustment to the related regulatory liabilities when revenue is recoverable from customers for AROs. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with decommissioning its nuclear power stations as an adjustment to the regulatory liability for certain jurisdictions. Additionally, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power report accretion of AROs and depreciation on asset retirement costs associated with certain rider and prospective rider projects as an adjustment to the regulatory asset for certain jurisdictions. Accretion of all other AROs and depreciation of all other asset retirement costs are reported in other operations and maintenance expense and depreciation expense, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs The Companies defer and amortize debt issuance costs and debt premiums or discounts over the expected lives of the respective debt issues, considering maturity dates and, if applicable, redemption rights held by others. Deferred debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction in long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of the issuance costs is reported as interest expense. Unamortized costs associated with redemptions of debt securities prior to stated maturity dates are generally recognized and recorded in interest expense immediately. As permitted by regulatory authorities, gains or losses resulting from the refinancing or redemption of debt allocable to utility operations subject to cost-based rate regulation are deferred and amortized. |
Investments | Investments Debt and Equity Securities with Readily Determinable Fair Values Dominion Energy accounts for and classifies investments in debt securities as trading or available-for-sale available-for-sale • Debt securities classified as trading securities tain deferred compensation plans. These securities are reported in other investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with net realized and unrealized gains and losses included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. • Debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities available-for-sale after-tax. In determining realized gains and losses for debt securities, the cost basis of the security is based on the specific identification method. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values include securities held by Dominion Energy in rabbi trusts associated with certain deferred compensation plans and securities held by Dominion Energy and Virginia Power in the nuclear decommissioning trusts. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record all equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, or for which they are permitted to estimate fair value using NAV (or its equivalent), at fair value in nuclear decommissioning trust funds and other investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power may elect a measurement alternative for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Under the measurement alternative, equity securities are reported at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power qualitatively assess equity securities reported using the measurement alternative to determine whether an investment is impaired on an ongoing basis. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in Virginia Power’s nuclear decommissioning trusts are recorded to a regulatory liability for certain jurisdictions subject to cost-based regulation. For all other equity securities, including those held in Dominion Energy’s merchant generation nuclear decommissioning trusts and rabbi trusts, net realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Values The Companies account for illiquid and privately held securities without readily determinable fair values under either the equity method or cost method. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values include: • Equity method investments investee. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas’ investments are included in investments in equity method affiliates in their Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas record equity method adjustments in other income and earnings from equity method investees, respectively, in their Consolidated Statements of Income, including their proportionate share of investee income or loss, gains or losses resulting from investee capital transactions, amortization of certain differences between the carrying value and the equity in the net assets of the investee at the date of investment and other adjustments required by the equity method. • Cost method investments Other-Than-Temporary Impairment The Companies periodically review their investments in debt securities and equity method investments to determine whether a decline in fair value should be considered other-than-temporary. If a decline in the fair value of any security is determined to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to its fair value at the end of the reporting period. Decommissioning Trust Investments —Special Considerations for Debt Securities • The recognition provisions of other-than-temporary impairment guidance apply only to debt securities classified as available-for-sale held-to-maturity. • Using information obtained from their nuclear decommissioning trust fixed-income investment managers, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power record in earnings any unrealized loss for a debt security when the manager intends to sell the debt security or it is more-likely-than-not non-performance |
Inventories | Inventories Materials and supplies and fossil fuel inventories are valued primarily using the weighted-average cost method. Stored gas inventory is valued using the weighted-average cost method, except for East Ohio gas distribution operations, which are valued using the LIFO method. Under the LIFO method, current stored gas inventory was valued at $19 million and $12 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Based on the average price of gas purchased during 2019 and 2018, the cost of replacing the current portion of stored gas inventory exceeded the amount stated on a LIFO basis by $60 million and $87 million, respectively. As a result of the Dominion Energy Gas Restructuring, at December 31, 2018, East Ohio’s stored gas inventory is reported in current assets of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Dominion Energy Gas. |
Gas Imbalances | Gas Imbalances Natural gas imbalances occur when the physical amount of natural gas delivered from, or received by, a pipeline system or storage facility differs from the contractual amount of natural gas delivered or received. Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas value these imbalances due to, or from, shippers and operators at an appropriate index price at period end, subject to the terms of its tariff for regulated entities. Imbalances are primarily settled in-kind. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas evaluate goodwill for impairment annually as of April 1 and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change in the interim that would more- likely-than-not |
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The Companies adopted this revised accounting guidance for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Upon the adoption of the standard, Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas recorded the cumulative-effect of a change in accounting principle of $3 million to retained earnings and membership interests, respectively, and to establish a contract asset related to changes in the timing of revenue recognition for three existing contracts with customers at DETI. As a result of adopting this revised accounting guidance, Dominion Energy records offsetting operating revenue and other energy-related purchases for non-cash Financial Instruments In January 2016, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance became effective for the Companies’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 and the Companies adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption of this guidance for equity securities held at January 1, 2018, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power recorded the cumulative-effect of a change in accounting principle to reclassify net unrealized gains from AOCI to retained earnings and to recognize equity securities previously categorized as cost method investments at fair value (using NAV) in nuclear decommissioning trust funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power reclassified approximately $1.1 billion ($734 million after-tax) after-tax), after-tax) after-tax) after-tax) Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leasing arrangements. The update requires that a liability and corresponding right-of-use The guidance became effective for the Companies’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019. The Companies adopted this revised accounting guidance using a modified retrospective approach, which requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the date of adoption. Under this approach, the Companies utilized the transition practical expedient to maintain historical presentation for periods before January 1, 2019. The Companies also applied the other practical expedients, which required no reassessment of whether existing contracts are or contain leases, no reassessment of lease classification for existing leases and no reassessment of existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases. In connection with the adoption of this revised accounting guidance, Dominion Energy, Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas recorded $504 million, $209 million and $64 million, respectively, of offsetting right-of-use right-of-use at Dominion Energy Gas were associated with discontinued operations. See Note 15 for additional information. Derecognition And Partial Sales Of Nonfinancial Assets In February 2017, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance clarifying the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The guidance became effective for the Companies’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018, and the Companies adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption of the standard, Dominion Energy recorded the cumulative-effect of a change in accounting principle to reclassify $127 million from noncontrolling interests to common stock related to the sale of a noncontrolling interest in certain merchant solar projects completed in December 2015 and January 2016. Net Periodic Pension And Other Postretirement Benefit Costs In March 2017, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for the presentation of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs. This guidance became effective for the Companies beginning January 1, 2018 and requires that the service cost component of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs be classified in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees, while all other components of net periodic pension and other postretirement costs are classified outside of income from operations. In addition, only the service cost component remains eligible for capitalization during construction. These changes do not impact the accounting by participants in a multi-employer plan. The standard also recognizes that in the event that a regulator continues to require capitalization of all net periodic benefit costs prospectively, the difference would result in recognition of a regulatory asset or liability. For costs not capitalized for which regulators are expected to provide recovery, a regulatory asset will be established. As such, the amounts eligible for capitalization in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas, as subsidiary participants in Dominion Energy’s multi-employer plans, will differ from the amounts eligible for capitalization in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Dominion Energy, the plan administrator. These differences will result in a regulatory asset or liability recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Dominion Energy. Tax Reform In December 2017, the staff of the SEC issued guidance which clarifies accounting for income taxes if information is not yet available or complete and provided for up to a one-year Reform Act being enacted. The Companies have accounted for the effects of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, although additional changes could occur as guidance is issued and finalized as described below. In addition, the major states in which the Companies operate have addressed conformity with some or all of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, although some states have modified certain of these provisions. In August 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued proposed regulations addressing the availability of federal bonus depreciation for the period beginning after September 27, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The application of these changes decreased Dominion Energy’s net operating loss carryforward utilization on its 2017 tax return. The impacts of proposed and final regulations issued in 2019 on the applicability of accelerated depreciation were immaterial at the Companies, as discussed in Note 5. In November 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued proposed regulations defining interest as any amounts associated with the time value of money or use of funds. These proposed regulations provide guidance for purposes of the exception to the interest limitation for regulated public utilities, the application of the interest limitation to consolidated groups, such as Dominion Energy, and the interest limitation with respect to partnerships and partners in those partnerships. It is unclear when the guidance may be finalized, or whether that guidance could result in a disallowance of a portion of the Companies’ interest deductions in the future. In February 2018, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance to provide clarification on the application of the 2017 Tax Reform Act for balances recorded within AOCI. The revised guidance provides for stranded amounts within AOCI from the impacts of the 2017 Tax Reform Act to be reclassified to retained earnings. The Companies adopted this guidance for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, Dominion Energy reclassified a benefit of $289 million from AOCI to retained earnings, Virginia Power reclassified a benefit of $3 million from AOCI to retained earnings and Dominion Energy Gas reclassified a benefit of $26 million from AOCI to membership interests. The amounts reclassified reflect the reduction in the federal income tax rate, and the federal benefit of state income taxes, on the components of the Companies’ AOCI. |
