Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements concerning the Companies’ expectations, plans, objectives, future financial performance and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The Companies make forward-looking statements with full knowledge that risks and uncertainties exist that may cause actual results to differ materially from predicted results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ are often presented with the forward-looking statements themselves. Additionally, other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement. These factors include but are not limited to:

•Unusual weather conditions and their effect on energy sales to customers and energy commodity prices;
•Extreme weather events and other natural disasters, including, but not limited to, hurricanes, high winds, severe storms, earthquakes, flooding, climate changes and changes in water temperatures and availability that can cause outages and property damage to facilities;
•The impact of extraordinary external events, such as the current pandemic health event resulting from COVID-19, and their collateral consequences, including extended disruption of economic activity in our markets and global supply chains;

•Impacts to Dominion Energy’s noncontrolling interest in Cove Point from fluctuations in future volumes of LNG imports or exports from the U.S. and other countries worldwide or demand for, purchases of and prices related to natural gas or LNG;
•Timing and receipt of regulatory approvals necessary for planned construction or growth projects and compliance with conditions associated with such regulatory approvals;
•The inability to complete planned construction, conversion or growth projects at all, or with the outcomes or within the terms and time frames initially anticipated, including as a result of increased public involvement, intervention or litigation in such projects;
•Risks and uncertainties that may impact the Companies’ ability to develop and construct the CVOW Commercial Project within the currently proposed timeline, or at all, and consistent with current cost estimates along with the ability to recover such costs from customers;
•Changes to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those related to climate change, the tightening of emission or discharge limits for GHGs and other substances, more extensive permitting requirements and the regulation of additional substances;

•Competition in the development, construction and ownership of certain electric transmission facilities in the Companies’ service territory in connection with Order 1000;
•Changes in technology, particularly with respect to new, developing or alternative sources of generation and smart grid technologies;
•Changes in demand for the Companies’ services, including industrial, commercial and residential growth or decline in the Companies’ service areas, changes in supplies of natural gas delivered to Dominion Energy’s pipeline system, failure to maintain or replace customer contracts on favorable terms, changes in customer growth or usage patterns, including as a result of energy conservation programs, the availability of energy efficient devices and the use of distributed generation methods;
•Receipt of approvals for, and timing of, closing dates for acquisitions and divestitures;
•Impacts of acquisitions, divestitures, transfers of assets to joint ventures and retirements of assets based on asset portfolio reviews;

The Companies’ forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. The Companies caution the reader not to place undue reliance on their forward-looking statements because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may, and often do, differ materially from actual results. The Companies undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made.

•A $312 million increase in the fuel cost component included in utility rates as a result of an increase in commodity costs associated with sales to gas utility customers ($193 million) and electric utility retail customers ($119 million);
•The absence of a $151 million decrease from an unbilled revenue reduction at Virginia Power;
•A $69 million increase from Virginia Power riders;
•A $37 million increase following the approved base rate case for PSNC;
•A $21 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers associated with economic and other usage factors; and
•A $20 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers, primarily due to an increase in heating degree days.

These increases were partially offset by:

•A $112 million decrease associated with market prices affecting Millstone, including economic hedging impacts of net realized and unrealized losses on freestanding derivatives ($249 million);
•A $51 million decrease as a result of the contribution of certain nonregulated gas retail energy contracts to Wrangler;
•A $40 million decrease associated with settlements of economic hedges of certain Virginia Power regulated electric sales;
•A $29 million decrease from an unplanned outage at Millstone; and
•A $29 million decrease from the sale of non-wholly-owned nonregulated solar facilities.

Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 23%, primarily due to higher commodity costs for electric utilities, which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.

Purchased gas increased 33%, primarily due to an increase in commodity costs for gas utilities ($193 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, partially offset by a decrease as a result of the contribution of certain nonregulated natural gas retail energy contracts to Wrangler ($40 million).

Other operations and maintenance increased 4%, primarily reflecting:

•A $41 million increase in storm damage and restoration costs in Virginia Power’s service territory;
•A $32 million increase in outside services; and
•A $15 million increase in outage costs at Virginia Power ($9 million) and Millstone ($6 million); partially offset by
•A $23 million gain on the contribution of certain privatization operations to Dominion Privatization.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 15%, primarily due to an increase for amortization of a regulatory asset established in the settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review ($61 million), an increase in RGGI related amortization ($45 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, and an increase due to various projects being placed into service ($32 million), partially offset by depreciation rates revised in the first quarter of 2022 at Virginia Power ($21 million) and a decrease from the sale of non-wholly-owned nonregulated solar facilities ($14 million).

Impairment of assets and other charges decreased $105 million, primarily due to the absence of a charge for the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process ($76 million), the absence of a charge for corporate office lease termination ($71 million) and the absence of charges associated with litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination ($60 million), partially offset by the absence of a benefit for a change in the CCRO reserve associated with the 2021 Triennial Review ($130 million).

Other income decreased 84%, primarily due to net investment losses in 2022 compared to net investment gains in 2021 on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.

Interest and related charges increased $121 million, primarily due to lower unrealized gains associated with freestanding derivatives ($138 million) and higher long-term debt interest expense resulting from net debt issuances ($32 million), partially offset by lower interest expense on junior subordinated notes due to repayments in 2021 ($25 million) and higher premiums received on interest rate derivatives ($14 million).

Income tax expense increased 11%, primarily due to a charge to reflect the recognition of deferred taxes on the outside basis of Hope’s stock upon meeting the classification as held for sale that will reverse when the sale is completed ($87 million), partially offset by lower pre-tax income ($64 million).

An analysis of Virginia Power’s results of operations follows:

First Quarter 2022 vs. 2021

Operating revenue increased 18%, primarily reflecting:

•The absence of a $151 million decrease from an unbilled revenue reduction;
•A $108 million increase in the fuel cost component included in utility rates as a result of a net increase in commodity costs associated with sales to electric utility retail customers;
•A $69 million increase from riders;
•A $35 million increase in sales to electric utility retail customers associated with economic and other usage factors; and
•A $19 million increase in sales to retail customers, primarily due to an increase in heating degree days.

These increases were partially offset by:

•A $40 million decrease associated with settlements of economic hedges of certain regulated electric sales; and
•A $15 million decrease reflecting a reduction in base rates associated with the settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review.

Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 27%, primarily due to higher commodity costs for electric utilities, which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.

Purchased electric capacity increased $14 million, primarily due to an increase in expense related to the annual PJM capacity performance market effective June 2021.

Other operations and maintenance increased 11%, primarily reflecting:

•A $41 million increase in storm damage and service restoration costs;
•A $17 million increase in outside services; and
•The absence of a $10 million reduction in bad debt expense due to the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process; partially offset by
•A $14 million decrease in certain expenses which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income; and
•A $11 million decrease in salaries, wages and benefits.

Depreciation and amortization increased 32%, primarily due to an increase for amortization of a regulatory asset established in the settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review ($61 million), an increase in RGGI related amortization ($45 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income, and an increase due to various projects being placed into service ($22 million), partially offset by depreciation rates revised in the first quarter of 2022 ($21 million).

Other taxes decreased 19%, primarily due to lower property taxes recorded in 2022 ($6 million) and lower business and occupational taxes as a result of a West Virginia legislative change ($5 million).

Impairment of assets and other charges increased $55 million, primarily due to the absence of a benefit for a change in the CCRO reserve associated with the 2021 Triennial Review ($130 million), partially offset by the absence of a charge for the forgiveness of Virginia retail electric customer accounts in arrears pursuant to Virginia’s 2021 budget process ($76 million).

Other income decreased 88%, primarily due to net investment losses in 2022 compared to net investment gains in 2021 on nuclear decommissioning trust funds.

Interest and related charges increased 9%, primarily due to higher long-term debt interest expense resulting from net debt issuances in 2022 and 2021.

Income tax expense decreased 13%, primarily due to lower pre-tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Dominion Energy depends on both cash generated from operations and external sources of liquidity to provide working capital and as a bridge to long-term financings. Dominion Energy’s material cash requirements include capital and investment expenditures, repaying short-term and long-term debt obligations and paying dividends on its common and preferred stock. This section should be read in conjunction with Item 7. MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Analysis of Cash Flows

Presented below are selected amounts related to Dominion Energy’s cash flows:

Financing activities6351,171
Net increase in cash, restricted cash and equivalents186315
Cash, restricted cash and equivalents at March 31$594$562

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash provided by Dominion Energy's operating activities decreased $327 million, inclusive of a $12 million decrease from discontinued operations, primarily due to current year refund payments to Virginia electric customers associated with the settlement of the 2021 Triennial Review ($190 million), lower deferred fuel cost recoveries ($108 million) and changes in working capital ($134 million).

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s investing activities decreased $734 million, primarily due to a decrease in contributions to equity method affiliates including Atlantic Coast Pipeline ($962 million) and proceeds from the sale of assets and equity method investments ($146 million), partially offset by an increase in plant construction and other property additions ($294 million).

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by Dominion Energy's financing activities decreased $536 million primarily due to lower net issuances of short-term debt ($1.7 billion), partially offset by higher issuances, net of repayments and redemptions, of long-term debt ($1.0 billion) and the absence of repayment of the 364-day revolving supplemental credit facility borrowings ($225 million).

Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt

As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy generally uses proceeds from short-term borrowings, including commercial paper, to satisfy short-term cash requirements not met through cash from operations. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the year, depending on the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. There have been no significant changes to Dominion Energy’s use of credit facilities and/or short-term debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Dominion Energy Reliability InvestmentSM Program

Dominion Energy has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for the sale of up to $3.0 billion of variable denomination floating rate demand notes, called Dominion Energy Reliability InvestmentSM. The registration limits the principal amount that may be outstanding at any one time to $1.0 billion. The notes are offered on a continuous basis and bear interest at a floating rate per annum determined by the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Committee, or its designee, on a weekly basis. The notes have no stated maturity date, are non-transferable and may be redeemed in whole or in part by Dominion Energy or at the investor’s option at any time. At March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $473 million with respect to such notes presented within short-term debt. The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.

Credit Facilities

Dominion Energy maintains a $6.0 billion joint revolving credit facility which provides for a discount in the pricing of certain annual fees and amounts borrowed by Dominion Energy under the facility if Dominion Energy achieves certain annual renewable electric generation and diversity and inclusion objectives. At March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had $3.8 billion of unused capacity under its joint revolving credit facility. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for the balances of commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding.

In addition to the primary sources of short-term liquidity discussed above, from time to time Dominion Energy enters into separate supplementary credit facilities or term loans as discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Long-Term Debt

Issuances and Borrowings of Long-Term Debt

Through March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy issued or borrowed the following long-term debt. Unless otherwise noted, the proceeds were used for the repayment of existing long-term indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

Month of IssuanceTypePublic / PrivateIssuer / Borrowing EntityPrincipalRateStated Maturity
(millions)
JanuarySenior notesPublicVirginia Power$6002.400%2032

Total issuances and borrowings$1,000

Dominion Energy currently meets the definition of a well-known seasoned issuer under SEC rules governing the registration, communication and offering processes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The rules provide for a streamlined shelf registration process to provide registrants with timely access to capital. This allows Dominion Energy to use automatic shelf registration statements to register any offering of securities, other than those for exchange offers or business combination transactions.

Dominion Energy maintains a $900 million Sustainability Revolving Credit Facility which matures in 2024 and bears interest at a variable rate for amounts borrowed for general corporate purposes. The facility also offers a reduced interest rate margin with respect to borrowed amounts allocated to certain environmental sustainability or social investment initiatives. At March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy had no amounts outstanding under this supplemental credit facility. In May 2022, Dominion Energy provided notice of its intention to borrow $900 million under the facility.

Dominion Energy anticipates, excluding potential opportunistic financings, issuing between approximately $3.2 billion and $4.4 billion of long-term debt during 2022, inclusive of amounts issued through March 31, 2022 as shown above. The raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory requirements, including registration with the SEC for certain issuances.

Repayment, Repurchases and Redemptions of Long-Term Debt

Dominion Energy may from time to time reduce its outstanding debt and level of interest expense through redemption of debt securities prior to maturity or repurchases of debt securities in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers or otherwise.

The following long-term debt was repaid, repurchased or redeemed through March 31, 2022:

Remarketing of Long-Term Debt

Through March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy was not required to and did not complete the remarketing of any of its long-term debt. In 2022, Dominion Energy expects to remarket approximately $165 million of its senior notes and tax-exempt bonds, inclusive of $138 million of Virginia Power’s tax-exempt bonds remarketed in April 2022.

Credit Ratings

As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings affect its liquidity, cost of borrowing under credit facilities and collateral posting requirements under commodity contracts, as well as the rates at which it is able to offer debt securities. The credit ratings for Dominion Energy are affected by its financial profile, mix of regulated and nonregulated businesses and respective cash flows, changes in methodologies used by the ratings agencies and event risk, if applicable, such as major acquisitions or dispositions. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and should be evaluated independently of any other rating. As of March 31, 2022, there have been no changes in Dominion Energy’s credit ratings.

Financial Covenants

As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy is subject to various covenants present in the enabling agreements underlying Dominion Energy’s debt. As of March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to covenants, nor any events of default under Dominion Energy’s covenants.

Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Other Equity Securities

In the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, there is a discussion of Dominion Energy’s existing equity financing programs, including an at-the-market program and Dominion Energy Direct®. Through March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy has issued $45 million of stock through these programs. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in

this report for additional information. Dominion Energy anticipates raising between $300 million and $500 million of capital through the issuance of common stock in 2022 and may issue up to $150 million of stock under settlement agreements associated with litigation acquired in the SCANA Combination as discussed in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, inclusive of 0.9 million shares of its common stock, valued at $72 million, issued in May 2022 to partially satisfy DESC’s remaining obligation under a settlement agreement with the SCDOR. As discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, in June 2022, Dominion Energy will settle the stock purchase contract component of the 2019 Equity Units which is expected to result in proceeds in the event of a successful remarketing of $1.6 billion and the issuance of up to 21.8 million shares, subject to a formula based on the average closing price of Dominion Energy common stock. As discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, Dominion Energy, subject to approval by its Board of Directors and the settlement of a successful remarketing, will redeem all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in September 2022.

Through March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy has not repurchased and does not plan to repurchase in 2022 any shares of common stock, except for shares tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock.

Capital Expenditures

As of March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to Dominion Energy’s total planned capital expenditures for each segment through 2026 as disclosed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Dividends

Dominion Energy believes that its operations provide a stable source of cash flow to contribute to planned levels of capital expenditures and maintain or grow the dividend on common shares. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information regarding Dominion Energy’s outstanding preferred stock and associated dividend rates.

Subsidiary Dividend Restrictions

As of March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to the subsidiary dividend restrictions disclosed in the Dividends section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021

Credit Risk

Dominion Energy’s exposure to potential concentrations of credit risk results primarily from its energy marketing and price risk management activities. Presented below is a summary of Dominion Energy’s credit exposure as March 31, 2022 for these activities.

CVOW Commercial Project

In March 2022, the Virginia Commission approved Virginia Power’s application filed in December 2021 for approval of a lease contract with an affiliated entity for the use of a Jones Act compliant offshore wind installation vessel currently under development. In April 2022, Virginia Power filed an application with the North Carolina Commission for approval of the same lease contract.

In May 2022, Virginia Power entered into forward purchase agreements with a notional amount of approximately €3.2 billion to hedge its foreign currency rate risk exposure to certain fixed price contracts for the major offshore construction and equipment components of the CVOW Commercial Project.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The matters discussed in this Item may contain “forward-looking statements” as described in the introductory paragraphs under Part I., Item 2. MD&A in this report. The reader’s attention is directed to those paragraphs for discussion of various risks and uncertainties that may impact the Companies.

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management

The Companies’ financial instruments, commodity contracts and related financial derivative instruments are exposed to potential losses due to adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates and equity security prices as described below. Commodity price risk is present in the Companies’ electric operations and Dominion Energy’s natural gas procurement and marketing operations due to the exposure to market shifts in prices received and paid for electricity, natural gas and other commodities. The Companies use commodity derivative contracts to manage price risk exposures for these operations. Interest rate risk is generally related to their outstanding debt and future issuances of debt. In addition, the Companies are exposed to investment price risk through various portfolios of equity and debt securities. The Companies’ exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk is related to certain fixed price contracts entered into in 2021 in connection with the CVOW Commercial Project. The contracts include services denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for approximately €2.6 billion and 5.1 billion kr. In addition, certain of the fixed price contracts, approximately €0.7 billion, contain commodity indexing provisions linked to steel. As a result, any changes in applicable exchange rates or commodity indices could result in a change to the ultimate cost of the project. In May 2022, Virginia Power entered into forward purchase agreements with a notional amount of approximately €3.2 billion to hedge its foreign currency rate risk exposure to certain fixed price contracts for the major offshore construction and equipment components of the CVOW Commercial Project.

The following sensitivity analysis estimates the potential loss of future earnings or fair value from market risk sensitive instruments over a selected time period due to a 10% change in commodity prices or interest rates.

To manage price risk, the Companies hold commodity-based derivative instruments held for non-trading purposes associated with purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products.

The derivatives used to manage commodity price risk are executed within established policies and procedures and may include instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps, options and FTRs that are sensitive to changes in the related commodity prices. For sensitivity analysis purposes, the hypothetical change in market prices of commodity-based derivative instruments is determined based on models that consider the market prices of commodities in future periods, the volatility of the market prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the derivative instruments. Prices and volatility are principally determined based on observable market prices.

A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $78 million and $16 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $38 million and $6 million in the fair value of Virginia Power’s commodity-based derivative instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The impact of a change in energy commodity prices on the Companies' commodity-based derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net losses from commodity-based financial derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction, such as revenue from physical sales of the commodity.

Interest Rate Risk

The Companies manage their interest rate risk exposure predominantly by maintaining a balance of fixed and variable rate debt. They also enter into interest rate sensitive derivatives, including interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements. For variable rate debt outstanding for Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material change in earnings at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The Companies also use interest rate derivatives, including forward-starting swaps, interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements to manage interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2022, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $14.4 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $228 million and $141 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at March 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $11.4 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding. A

hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $191 million and $111 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2021.

The impact of a change in interest rates on the Companies’ interest rate-based financial derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net gains and/or losses from interest rate derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction.

Investment Price Risk

The Companies are subject to investment price risk due to securities held as investments in nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust funds that are managed by third-party investment managers. These trust funds primarily hold marketable securities that are reported in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

Dominion Energy recognized net investment losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $197 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $304 million and $1.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments as well as any other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Dominion Energy recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $134 million, $64 million and $64 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

Virginia Power recognized net investment losses (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $89 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and net investment gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $153 million and $568 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Net realized gains and losses include gains and losses from the sale of investments as well as any other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Virginia Power recorded in AOCI and regulatory liabilities, a net decrease in unrealized gains on debt investments of $68 million, $28 million and $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

Dominion Energy sponsors pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans that hold investments in trusts to fund employee benefit payments. Virginia Power employees participate in these plans. Differences between actual and expected returns on plan assets are accumulated and amortized during future periods. As such, any investment-related declines in these trusts will result in future increases in the net periodic cost recognized for employee benefit plans and will be included in the determination of the amount of cash to be contributed to the employee benefit plans.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Senior management of both Dominion Energy and Virginia Power, including Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of each company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation process, each of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s CEO and CFO have concluded that each company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Dominion Energy or Virginia Power’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Companies are parties to various legal, environmental or other regulatory proceedings, including in the ordinary course of business.
