Overview
First Quarter 2026 vs. 2025
Net income attributable to Dominion Energy decreased 7%, primarily due to an increase in interest on long-term debt, increased unrealized losses on economic hedging activities and an impairment charge associated with certain nonregulated solar generation facilities. These decreases were partially offset by higher rider equity returns reflecting capital investments at Virginia Power, the impacts of the 2025 Biennial Review at Virginia Power and a reduction in costs not expected to be recovered from customers on the CVOW Commercial Project.

An analysis of Dominion Energy’s results of operations follows:
First Quarter 2026 vs. 2025
Operating revenue increased 23%, primarily reflecting:
A $558 million net increase in fuel-related revenue as a result of an increase in commodity costs associated with sales to electric utility retail customers, including revenue for the deferred fuel securitization and electric utility customers who elect to pay market based or other negotiated rates and related settlements of economic hedges at Virginia Power;
A $257 million increase to recover the costs and an authorized return, as applicable, associated with Virginia Power non-fuel riders;
A $140 million increase associated with the 2025 Biennial Review at Virginia Power;
A $42 million net increase in sales to electric utility retail customers, primarily due to an increase in heating degree days during the heating season;
A $26 million increase attributable to sales at Millstone in the day-ahead energy market; and
$16 million in sales of renewable natural gas and related environmental credits.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $65 million net decrease associated with market prices affecting Millstone, including economic hedging impacts of net realized and unrealized losses on freestanding derivatives ($92 million); and
A $57 million decrease associated with severe weather events affecting Virginia Power.
Electric fuel and other energy-related purchases increased 67%, primarily due to higher commodity costs for electric utilities ($563 million) and an increase in the use of purchased renewable energy credits ($65 million), which are offset in operating revenue and do not impact net income.
Purchased electric capacity increased $60 million, primarily due to returning to PJM’s capacity market in June 2025 and an increase in annual capacity prices.
Other operations and maintenance increased 10%, primarily due to renewable natural gas projects placed in service in late 2025 ($30 million), an increase in salaries, wages and benefits ($22 million) and an increase in certain Virginia Power expenditures which are primarily recovered through state- and FERC-regulated rates and do not impact net income ($20 million), partially offset by a decrease in storm damage and restoration costs ($13 million).
Depreciation and amortization increased 8%, primarily due to various projects being placed into service.
Impairment of assets and other charges decreased $81 million, primarily due to a benefit in 2026 compared to a charge in 2025 for costs not expected to be recovered from customers on 100% of the CVOW Commercial Project ($162 million), partially offset by a charge associated with certain nonregulated solar generation facilities ($78 million).
Interest and related charges increased 17%, primarily due to an increase in net issuances of long-term debt ($96 million), partially offset by decreased interest expense associated with rider deferrals ($20 million), which is offset in operating revenue and does not impact net income.
Income tax expense increased 20%, primarily due to the absence of a benefit associated with the remeasurement of an uncertain tax position.
Noncontrolling interests increased $118 million, due to an increase in earnings associated with the CVOW Commercial Project, including a decrease in charges for costs not expected to be recovered.

Outlook
At March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes to Dominion Energy’s 2026 outlook as described in Item 7. MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Future Issues and Other Matters for a discussion of certain items that may have an impact on Dominion Energy’s 2026 net income on a per share basis.
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.
Analysis of Cash Flows
Presented below are selected amounts related to Dominion Energy’s cash flows:
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| (millions) | ||||||||
| Cash, restricted cash and equivalents at January 1 | $ | 343 | $ | 365 | ||||

| Net increase in cash, restricted cash and equivalents | 144 | 112 | ||||||
| Cash, restricted cash and equivalents at March 31 | $ | 487 | $ | 477 |
(1)
Includes cash outflows of $16 million and $18 million for energy efficiency programs in Virginia for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $7 million and $6 million for DSM programs in South Carolina for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by Dominion Energy’s operating activities decreased $301 million, primarily due to lower deferred fuel and purchased gas cost recoveries ($508 million), an increase in interest payments primarily driven by higher borrowings ($203 million) and changes in working capital ($63 million), partially offset by a $473 million increase due to higher operating cash flows from electric utility operations driven by weather, riders and impacts from the 2025 Biennial Review.
Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s investing activities decreased $135 million, primarily due to a decrease in plant construction and other property additions.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash from Dominion Energy’s financing activities increased $198 million, primarily due to an increase in net issuances of short-term debt ($1.1 billion) and 364-day term loan facility borrowings ($800 million), partially offset by a decrease in net issuances of long-term debt ($1.4 billion) and a
decrease in capital contributions from Stonepeak to OSWP, net of distributions from OSWP to Stonepeak ($309 million).
Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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, 2026.
Revolving Credit Facilities
Dominion Energy’s short-term financing is primarily supported by its joint revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2026, Dominion Energy had $5.3 billion of unused capacity under its revolving credit facilities. In April 2026, Dominion Energy’s $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility matured. Subsequently, in April 2026, Dominion Energy entered into a $1.0 billion supplemental revolving credit facility which matures in April 2028. This credit facility can be used to support bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for the balances of commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding and for additional information on the revolving credit facilities.
Dominion Energy Reliability Investment**SM 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, 2026, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheet included $406 million presented within short-term debt. The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.
Other Facilities
In addition to the primary sources of short-term liquidity discussed above, from time to time Dominion Energy enters into separate supplementary credit facilities or term loans as discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. In April 2026, Dominion Energy borrowed the remaining $450 million under its approximately $1.3 billion 364-day term loan facility entered into in February 2026, with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes.
Long-Term Debt
Sustainability Revolving Credit Agreement
Dominion Energy maintains a Sustainability Revolving Credit Agreement which is described in Note 18 to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, Dominion Energy had no borrowings outstanding under this facility. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information.
Issuances and Borrowings of Long-Term Debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Dominion Energy issued or borrowed the following long-term debt. Unless otherwise noted, the proceeds were used for the repayment of existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

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 anticipates, excluding potential opportunistic financings, issuing between approximately $6.0 billion and $9.5 billion of long-term debt during 2026, inclusive of amounts issued through March 31, 2026 as shown in the table above. Dominion Energy expects to issue long-term debt to satisfy cash needs for capital expenditures, net of reimbursements from Stonepeak for the CVOW Commercial Project, and maturing long-term debt to the extent such amounts are not satisfied from cash available from operations following the payment of dividends and any borrowings made from unused capacity of Dominion Energy’s credit facilities discussed above. The raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory requirements, including registration with the SEC for certain issuances.
Repayments, Repurchases and Redemptions of Long-Term Debt
Dominion Energy may from time to time reduce its outstanding debt and level of interest expense through redemption of debt securities prior to maturity or repurchases of debt securities in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers or otherwise.
The following long-term debt was repaid, repurchased or redeemed during the three months ended March 31, 2026:

Remarketing of Long-Term Debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Dominion Energy was not required to and did not complete the remarketing of any of its long-term debt. In 2026, Dominion Energy does not expect to remarket any of its tax-exempt bonds.
Credit Ratings
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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 its 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 rating 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. Ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the applicable rating organization. At March 31, 2026, there have been no changes in Dominion Energy’s credit ratings from those described in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Financial Covenants
As discussed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, Dominion Energy is subject to various covenants present in the agreements underlying Dominion Energy’s debt. At March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes to these covenants, nor any events of default under these covenants.
As discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this report, in April 2026, Dominion Energy entered into a new $1.0 billion credit facility, which includes a maximum allowed total debt to total capital ratio that is consistent with the allowed ratio under its joint revolving credit facility.

CVOW Commercial Project
In September 2019, Virginia Power filed applications with PJM for the CVOW Commercial Project and for certain approvals and rider recovery from the Virginia Commission in November 2021. The majority of turbines comprising the 2.6 GW project are expected to be placed in service by the end of 2026 with the remainder in early 2027 prior to the end of June. The estimated total project cost is approximately $11.4 billion (excluding financing costs) which reflects an estimated impact of certain tariffs, including the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in late February 2026 and tariffs which became effective in late February 2026, as well as previously included estimated impacts of a temporary suspension of work order,
certain tariffs which became effective during 2025 and revised network upgrade costs assigned by PJM to the CVOW Commercial Project. As discussed below, the expected total project cost does not include the impact of certain tariffs revised in April 2026 nor any potential future changes to network upgrade costs allocated by PJM. The Companies’ projected impact of tariffs on expected total project cost is subject to change due to the inherent uncertainty associated with which tariffs, if any, may be in effect and the associated requirements and rates of such tariffs. Virginia Power’s estimate for the project’s projected levelized cost of energy, including renewable energy credits, is approximately $84/MWh, compared to the initial filing submission of $80-90/MWh.
The expected total project cost reflects a decrease of $0.1 billion, relative to Virginia Power’s January 2026 construction update filing, associated with the reversal of approximately $0.2 billion associated with tariffs on equipment expected to be delivered from March 2025 through March 2026 that originates from Mexico, Canada, a European Union member or other applicable countries that were the subject of a U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in late February 2026. Such decrease was partially offset by the estimated impact of new tariffs subsequently enacted in late February 2026 on equipment expected to be delivered from February 2026 through July 2026 that originates from Mexico, Canada, a European Union member or other applicable countries. The expected project cost does not yet reflect a revision for the estimated impact of revised tariffs, enacted in April 2026 on equipment expected to be delivered from April 2026 through early 2027 that contains steel aluminum and/or copper products. The estimated impact of the tariff is inherently uncertain as the ultimate tariff is dependent upon product classification, country of origin and percentage component of each product to the overall value. Pending additional information from suppliers as well as any interpretative guidance from applicable government agencies, Virginia Power expects the revised Section 232 tariffs could result in an increase to the estimated project cost of up to between approximately $0.2 billion and approximately $0.3 billion. The actual tariffs to be incurred are dependent upon the tariff requirements and rates, if any, at the time of delivery of the specific component. The expected project cost also does not reflect any revision to network upgrade costs allocated by PJM, including related to any potential amendment of the interconnection agreement between PJM and Virginia Power, as Virginia Power explores potential modifications which could result in a decrease of amounts allocated to the CVOW Commercial Project.
The estimated total project cost above reflects the Companies’ best estimate of the remaining construction costs, including contingency of approximately 6% on such remaining amounts. Such estimate could potentially change for items, certain of which are beyond the Companies’ control, including but not limited to actual network upgrade costs allocated by PJM, fuel for transportation and installation, the impact of applicable tariffs including any potential impact of Section 232 investigations, costs to maintain necessary permits, approvals and authorizations, any additional suspension of work orders, ability of key suppliers and contractors to timely satisfy their obligations under existing contracts, marine wildlife and/or any severe weather events.
Virginia Power commenced major onshore construction activities for the CVOW Commercial Project in November 2023 following the receipt of a record of decision from BOEM in October 2023 for construction. Onshore construction activities to support first power delivery were completed in December 2025 with remaining project activities to support commercial operations anticipated to be completed by mid-2026. Virginia Power commenced major offshore construction activities in May 2024 following the receipt of final approval from BOEM authorizing offshore construction and necessary permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for offshore construction in January 2024. Virginia Power completed the installation of all monopiles in October 2025 and of all transition pieces in April 2026. The first of three offshore substations was installed in March 2025, with the second installed in November 2025 and the third installed in February 2026. Deepwater cables commenced being laid in late 2024 with the last of nine completed in July 2025. Of the 176 segments of interarray cable, expected to total 260 miles, 73 have been installed through April 2026 with the remaining expected to be laid throughout 2026. Installation commenced on turbines in December 2025 prior to being delayed by the temporary suspension of work order, with eight of 176 completed, and tower and nacelle installation completed for a ninth turbine, through April 2026. The first turbines and associated infrastructure of the CVOW Commercial Project commenced operations in March 2026.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The matters discussed in this Item may contain “forward-looking statements” as described in the introductory paragraphs under Part I., Item 2. MD&A in this report. The reader’s attention is directed to those paragraphs for discussion of various risks and uncertainties that may impact the Companies.
Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management
The Companies’ financial instruments, commodity contracts and related financial derivative instruments are exposed to potential losses due to adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity securities prices as described below. Commodity price risk is present in the Companies’ electric operations and Dominion Energy’s natural gas procurement and marketing operations due to the exposure to market shifts in prices received and paid for electricity, natural gas and other commodities. The Companies use commodity derivative contracts to manage price risk exposures for these operations. Interest rate risk is generally related to their outstanding debt and future issuances of debt. In addition, the Companies are exposed to investment price risk through various portfolios of equity and debt securities. The Companies’ exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk is related to certain fixed price contracts associated with the CVOW Commercial Project which it manages through foreign currency exchange rate derivatives. The contracts include services denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for approximately €2.6 billion and 5.1 billion kr. In addition, certain of the fixed price contracts, approximately €0.7 billion, contain commodity indexing provisions linked to steel.
The following sensitivity analyses estimate the potential loss of future earnings or fair value from market risk sensitive instruments over a selected time period due to a 10% change in commodity prices, interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates.
Commodity Price Risk
To manage price risk, the Companies hold commodity-based derivative instruments held for non-trading purposes associated with purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products.
The derivatives used to manage commodity price risk are executed within established policies and procedures and may include instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps, options and FTRs that are sensitive to changes in the related commodity prices. For sensitivity analysis purposes, the hypothetical change in market prices of commodity-based derivative instruments is determined based on models that consider the market prices of commodities in future periods, the volatility of the market prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the derivative instruments. Prices and volatility are principally determined based on observable market prices.
A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $3 million and a hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $15 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
A hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $47 million and $71 million in the fair value of Virginia Power’s commodity-based derivative instruments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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. For variable rate debt outstanding for Dominion Energy, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would result in a $16 million and $10 million decrease in earnings at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. For variable rate debt outstanding for Virginia Power, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would result in an $8 million and $7 million decrease in earnings at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Companies also use interest rate derivatives, including forward-starting swaps, interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements to manage interest rate risk. At March 31, 2026, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $8.9 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively, in aggregate notional amounts of these interest rate derivatives outstanding in combined absolute value of their long and short positions, except in the case of offsetting transactions, for which they represent the absolute value of the net volume of their long and short positions. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $373 million and $263 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at March 31, 2026. At December 31, 2025, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $10.7 billion and $8.1 billion, respectively, of these interest rate derivatives outstanding in combined absolute value of their long and short positions, except in the case of offsetting transactions, for which they represent the absolute value of the net volume of their long and short positions. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $459 million and $382 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2025.
The impact of a change in interest rates on the Companies’ interest rate-based financial derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net gains and/or losses from interest rate derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Companies utilize foreign currency exchange rate swaps to economically hedge the foreign currency exchange risk associated with fixed price contracts related to the CVOW Commercial Project denominated in foreign currencies. At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Dominion Energy had €0.9 billion in aggregate notional amounts of these foreign currency forward purchase agreements outstanding. A hypothetical 10% increase in the U.S. dollar to Euro exchange rate would have resulted in a decrease of $20 million and $35 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s foreign currency swaps at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The impact of a change in exchange rates on the Companies’ foreign currency-based financial derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net gains and/or losses from foreign exchange derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction.
Investment Price Risk
The Companies are subject to investment price risk due to securities held as investments in nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust funds that are managed by third-party investment managers. These trust funds primarily hold marketable securities that are reported in the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.
Dominion Energy recognized net investment gains (losses) (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $(205) million, $(197) million and $1.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025, 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 increase in unrealized (losses) gains on debt investments of $(1) million, $30 million and $41 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
Virginia Power recognized net investment gains (losses) (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning and rabbi trust investments of $(93) million, $(98) million and $555 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025, 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 increase in unrealized gains (losses) on debt investments of $— million, $12 million and $23 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025, 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 immediately recognized in earnings annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year as well as whenever a plan is determined to qualify for a remeasurement. A hypothetical 0.25% decrease in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets would have a $27 million impact for the year ending December 31, 2026, and would have had a $28 million impact for the year ended December 31, 2025, to the expected returns on plan assets, respectively.
