Item 2. Properties
As of December 31, 2018, Dominion Energy owned its principal executive office in Richmond, Virginia and five other corporate offices. Dominion Energy also leases corporate offices in other cities in which its subsidiaries operate. Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas share Dominion Energy’s principal office in Richmond, Virginia, which is owned by Dominion Energy. In addition, Virginia Power’s Power Delivery and Power Generation segments share certain leased buildings and equipment.
Dominion Energy’s assets consist primarily of its investments in its subsidiaries, the principal properties of which are described below.
Certain of Virginia Power’s properties are subject to the lien of the Indenture of Mortgage securing its First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds. There were no bonds outstanding as of December 31, 2018; however, by leaving the indenture open, Virginia Power expects to retain the flexibility to issue mortgage bonds in the future. Certain of Dominion Energy’s merchant generation facilities are also subject to liens. Additionally, SCE&G’s bond indenture, which secures its First Mortgage Bonds, constitutes a direct mortgage lien on substantially all of its electric utility property. GENCO’s Williams Station is also subject to a first mortgage lien which secures certain outstanding debt of GENCO.
POWER DELIVERY
Virginia Power has approximately 6,700 miles of electric transmission lines of 69 kV or more located in North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. Portions of Virginia Power’s electric transmission lines cross national parks and forests under permits
entitling the federal government to use, at specified charges, any surplus capacity that may exist in these lines. While Virginia Power owns and maintains its electric transmission facilities, they are a part of PJM, which coordinates the planning, operation, emergency assistance and exchange of capacity and energy for such facilities.
In addition, Virginia Power’s electric distribution network includes approximately 58,300 miles of distribution lines, exclusive of service level lines, in Virginia and North Carolina. The grants for most of its electric lines contain rights-of-way that have been obtained from the apparent owners of real estate, but underlying titles have not been examined. Where rights-of-way have not been obtained, they could be acquired from private owners by condemnation, if necessary. Many electric lines are on publicly-owned property, where permission to operate can be revoked. In addition, Virginia Power owns 475 substations.
POWER GENERATION
Dominion Energy and Virginia Power generate electricity for sale on a wholesale and a retail level. Dominion Energy and Virginia Power supply electricity demand either from their generation facilities or through purchased power contracts. As of December 31, 2018, Power Generation’s total utility, non-jurisdictional and merchant generating capacity was approximately 26,000 MW. The following tables list Power Generation’s utility, non-jurisdictional and merchant generating units and capability, as of December 31, 2018.

GAS INFRASTRUCTURE
Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Gas
East Ohio’s gas distribution network is located in Ohio. This network involves approximately 18,900 miles of pipe, exclusive of service lines. The right-of-way grants for many natural gas pipelines have been obtained from the actual owners of real estate, as underlying titles have been examined. Where rights-of-way have not been obtained, they could be acquired from private owners by condemnation, if necessary. Many natural gas pipelines are on publicly-owned property, where company rights and actions are determined on a case-by-case basis, with results that range from reimbursed relocation to revocation of permission to operate.
Dominion Energy Gas has approximately 10,800 miles, excluding interests held by others, of gas transmission, gathering and storage pipelines located in the states of Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. Dominion Energy Gas also owns NGL processing plants capable of processing over 270,000 mcf per day of natural gas. Hastings is the largest plant and is capable of processing over 180,000 mcf per day of natural gas. Hastings can also fractionate over 580,000 Gals per day of NGLs into marketable products, including propane, isobutane, butane and natural gasoline. NGL operations have storage capacity of 1,340,000 Gals of propane, 118,000 Gals of isobutane, 242,000 Gals of butane, 2,000,000 Gals of natural gasoline and 1,012,500 Gals of mixed NGLs. Dominion Energy Gas also operates 20 underground gas storage fields located in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, with approximately 2,000 storage wells and approximately 399,000 acres of operated leaseholds.
The total designed capacity of the underground storage fields operated by Dominion Energy Gas is approximately 926 bcf. Certain storage fields are jointly-owned and operated by Dominion Energy Gas. The capacity of those fields owned by Dominion Energy Gas’ partners totals approximately 223 bcf.
Dominion Energy
Cove Point’s LNG Facility has an operational peak regasification daily send-out capacity of approximately 1.8 million Dths and an aggregate LNG storage capacity of approximately 14.6 bcfe.

The Liquefaction Project consists of one LNG train with a nameplate outlet capacity of 5.25 Mtpa. Cove Point has authorization from the DOE to export up to 0.77 Bcfe/day (approximately 5.75 Mtpa) should the liquefaction facilities perform better than expected.
The Cove Point Pipeline is a 36-inch diameter underground, interstate natural gas pipeline that extends approximately 88 miles
from Cove Point to interconnections with Transco in Fairfax County, Virginia, and with Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC and DETI in Loudoun County, Virginia. In 2009, the original pipeline was expanded to include a 36-inch diameter expansion that extends approximately 48 miles, roughly 75% of which is parallel to the original pipeline.
Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline operates 2,200 miles of natural gas transportation pipelines that interconnect with other pipelines in Utah, Wyoming and western Colorado. Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline’s system ranges in diameter from lines that are less than four inches to 36-inches. Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline owns the Clay Basin storage facility in northeastern Utah, which has a certificated capacity of 120 bcf, including 54 bcf of working gas.
DECG’s interstate natural gas pipeline system in South Carolina and southeastern Georgia is comprised of nearly 1,500 miles of transmission pipeline.
Questar Gas owns and operates distribution systems in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho with a total of 30,100 miles of street mains, service lines and interconnecting pipelines.
Hope’s gas distribution network located in West Virginia is comprised of 3,200 miles of pipe, exclusive of service lines.
In total, Dominion Energy has 172 compressor stations with approximately 1,340,000 installed compressor horsepower.
SOUTHEAST ENERGY
SCE&G has approximately 3,500 miles and 26,500 miles of electric transmission and distribution lines, respectively, exclusive of service level lines, in South Carolina. The grants for most of SCE&G’s electric lines contain rights-of-way that have been obtained from the apparent owners of real estate, but underlying property titles have not been examined. Where rights-of-way have not been obtained, they could be acquired from private owners by condemnation, if necessary. Many electric lines are on publicly-owned property, where permission to operate can be revoked. In addition, SCE&G owns 440 substations.
SCE&G and PSNC’s natural gas system includes approximately 1,100 miles of transmission pipeline of up to 24 inches in diameter that connect their distribution systems with Southern Natural Gas Company, Transco and DECG. SCE&G and PSNC’s natural gas distribution system consists of approximately 40,600 miles of distribution mains and related service facilities.
SCE&G owns two LNG facilities, one located near Charleston, South Carolina, and the other in Salley, South Carolina. The Charleston facility can store the liquefied equivalent of 1.0 bcf of natural gas, can regasify approximately 6% of its storage capacity per day and can liquefy less than 1% of its storage capacity per day. The Salley facility can store the liquefied equivalent of 0.9 bcf of natural gas and can regasify approximately 10% of its storage capacity per day. The Salley facility has no liquefying capabilities.
PSNC owns one LNG facility that stores the liquefied equivalent of 1.0 bcf of natural gas, can regasify approximately 10% of its storage capacity per day and can liquefy less than 1% of its storage capacity per day.
To meet the requirements of their high priority natural gas customers during periods of maximum demand, SCE&G and
