NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF PETITION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR REVISION OF A RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE, DESIGNATED RIDER RPS, FOR THE RATE YEAR COMMENCING SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 CASE NO. PUR-2022-00208

•Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has applied for approval to revise its rate adjustment clause, Rider RPS, for recovery of projected and actual costs related to compliance with the mandatory renewable energy portfolio standard program established in the Virginia Clean Economy Act.

•Dominion requests approval of a revenue requirement of $111,205,964. According to Dominion, this amount would decrease a typical residential customer’s monthly bill using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per month by approximately $0.28.

•A Hearing Examiner appointed by the State Corporation Commission will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on April 17, 2023, at 10 a.m., for the receipt of public witness testimony.

•An evidentiary hearing will be held on April 18, 2023, at 10 a.m., in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219.

•Further information about this case is available on the Commission website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information

On December 8, 2022, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) a petition (“Petition”) for revision of a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider RPS, pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 5 d of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and the directive contained in Ordering Paragraph (7) of the Final Order issued by the Commission on June 30, 2022, in Case No. PUR-2021-00282. Through its Petition, Dominion seeks to recover projected and actual costs related to compliance with the mandatory renewable energy portfolio standard program (“RPS Program”) established in the Virginia Clean Economy Act (“VCEA”).

Pursuant to Code § 56-585.5 C, Dominion is required to participate in an RPS Program that establishes annual goals for the sale of renewable energy to all retail customers in the Company’s service territory, with certain limited exceptions. To comply with the RPS Program, Dominion must procure and retire renewable energy certificates (‘’RECs’’) originating from qualifying sources. The RPS Program requirements ‘’shall be a percentage of the total electric energy sold in the previous calendar year’’ and must be implemented in accordance with the schedule set forth in Code § 56-585.5 C. The statute permits Dominion to apply renewable energy sales achieved or RECs acquired in excess of the sales requirement for a specific year’s RPS Program to the sales requirements for certain future years. Code § 56-585.5 C further provides that, to the extent Dominion procures RECs for RPS Program compliance from resources it does not own, the Company shall be entitled to recover the costs of such RECs pursuant to Code §§ 56-249.6 or 56-585.1 A 5 d. Code § 56-585.1 A 5 d, as amended by the VCEA, provides that a utility may petition the Commission for approval of one or more rate adjustment clauses for the timely and current recovery from customers of:

[p]rojected and actual costs of compliance with renewable energy portfolio standard requirements pursuant to § 56-585.5 that are not recoverable under subdivision 6.

The Commission shall approve such a petition allowing the recovery of such costs incurred as required by § 56-585.5, provided that the Commission does not otherwise find such costs were unreasonably or imprudently incurred . . .

In its Petition, Dominion states that it will meet the annual requirements of the RPS Program through the retirement of RECs that will be sourced from a combination of RECs generated from Company owned renewable energy facilities, RECs generated from renewable energy facilities owned by an entity other than the utility with which the Company has entered into a power purchase agreement, long-term REC only contracts, and market purchases. The Company states that it may bank the RECs generated by Virginia facilities from 2021 through 2024 for use in 2025 when the requirement for Virginia-located resources begins.

To determine the total cost of RECs to be recovered through Rider RPS, the Company states it first determined its projected RPS Program requirements for 2023, and then used those projections to determine the estimated volume of RECs needed during the rate year of September 1, 2023, to August 31, 2024 (‘’Rate Year’’). The Company asserts it then determined the projected volume of RECs that the Company would need to utilize from its bank or purchase from the market. For any RECs the Company would need to purchase or utilize from the bank, the Company states it multiplied the volume of RECs by a weighted average price in order to determine the cost of the gross purchases and banked RECs needed for the Rate Year. The Company expects to need approximately 10.9 million RECs during the Rate Year, approximately 109,000 of which it says must come from distribut- ed energy resources. According to the Company, once it determined the total costs of RECs to be recovered in this proceeding, it applied a Virginia jurisdictional allocation.

The revenue requirement for Rider RPS includes both a Projected Cost Recovery Factor and an Actual Cost True Up Factor. In this proceeding, the Company seeks approval of a Projected Cost Recovery Factor Revenue requirement of $104,343,202, and an Actual Cost True-up Factor revenue requirement of $6,862,761, for a total revenue requirement of $111,205,964 for the Rate Year.

If the proposed Rider RPS for the Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, im- plementation of its proposed Rider RPS on September 1, 2023, would decrease the monthly bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kWh per month by approximately $0.28 compared to the current Rider RPS.

Interested persons are encouraged to review the Petition and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals.

TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Petition and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Petition and supporting documents.

The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing in this proceeding that, among other things, scheduled public hearings on Dominion’s Petition. On April 17, 2023, at 10 a.m., the Hearing Examiner assigned to this case will hold a telephonic hearing, with no witness present in the Commission’s courtroom, for the purpose of receiving the testimony of public witnesses.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE FAMILY COURT FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COUNTY OF HORRY | 2022-DR-

26-2446

Nur Abushakra Plaintiff, versus COMPLAINT

Yaser Mahmoud Elkhatib, Defendant

The Plaintiff would respectfully show unto this Honorable Court as follows:

1. The Plaintiff is a citizen and resident of the County of Horry, State of South Carolina and have been so for more than one (1) year prior to the filing of this action. Further, the parties’ minor child is a citizen and resident of Horry County, South Carolina for at least six (6) months prior to the filing of this action. The Defendant is a citizen and resident of the State of Virginia. Therefore, this Court has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter in this action and venue is proper herein.

2. The Plaintiff and Defendant were married on April 15, 2012 and were subsequently divorced in 2016 in Brunswick County, North Carolina. The parties have one (1) minor child, to-wit: MKE, age 8. No other children are now expected between the parties.

COUNT I

(Modification of Custody, Visitation & Child Support)

3. The Plaintiff would show that under the current Final Order that the Plaintiff registered in Horry County, South Carolina under cause number 2021-DR-261127, the parties entered into an Agreement that was approved on August 16, 2016, a copy of which is attached hereto.

4. The Plaintiff would further show that since the date of finalization, there have been material and substantial changes in circumstances to warrant a modification of both custody and visitation to the Defendant.

5. The Plaintiff would show that the Defendant has not seen or had contact with the minor child since March of 2016, some five (5) months prior the Agreement being finalized.

6. The Plaintiff would further show that the Defendant has voluntarily relocated to more than one location well outside of the State of North Carolina, putting himself geographically farther from the minor child, without consideration of her or his time with her.

7. The Plaintiff would show that after the Defendant’s relocation outside of the State of North Carolina, she and the minor child moved to Horry County, South

Carolina in 2019.

8. The Plaintiff would show that the Defendant is quite literally a stranger to the minor child; that he has voluntarily removed himself from her life and abandoned any responsibilities regarding the minor child as it pertains to decision making, day to day events and activities or any involvement in her life at all. The Plaintiff would further show that the current custodial arrangement is not in the minor child’s best interests because of the Defendant’s actions or lack thereof. Therefore, the Plaintiff requests that the terms of the parties’ Agreement be modified to reflect what is in the minor child’s best interests, that of sole custody to the Plaintiff and visitation at her discretion. She is making this request both pendente lite or permanently.

9. The Plaintiff would further show that it is not in the minor child’s best physical, emotional, or mental wellbeing to be required to operate under the current custodial and visitation arrangement, either in the Agreement or in practice, temporarily and on a permanent basis.

10. The Plaintiff would show that child support was ordered in the parties’ current Final Order of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per month paid through the Clerk of Court’s office. The Plaintiff would show that the Defendant has never any child support pursuant to the Order. Therefore, he has a child support arrearage in the amount of Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($37500.00) as of November 1, 2022.

11. The Plaintiff would respectfully request that the State Disbursement Unit transfer the child support obligation from North Carolina. The Plaintiff would further request that upon such transfer, a 02 account be opened placing the Defendant’s arrearage amount in such account and modifying the Defendant’s child support obligation such that he remits One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per month toward the arrearage in addition to the ongoing monthly child support obligation of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00). She makes this request both pendente lite and permanently.

COUNT II

(Restraining Orders)

12. The Plaintiff requests a restraining order that restrains the Defendant from coming about her or her family’s persons, bothering, harassing, contacting, or otherwise persecuting her at her home, place of employment, worship, or any other place and by any means, both pendente lite and permanently.

13. The Plaintiff requests that the Defendant be restrained from exposing the minor child to non-age-appropriate materials or mediums, any members of the opposite sex not related by blood or marriage on an overnight basis; abuse of alcohol or prescription drugs; use of illicit drugs; and violence, profanity, or immoral environments or conduct of any sort. She makes these requests both pendente lite and permanently.

COUNT III

(Obtaining a Passport)

14. The Plaintiff would show that the minor child has extensive, extended family that reside outside of the United States. The Plaintiff would further show that to date, she has not been permitted to obtain a passport for the minor child considering not having meaningful contact with the Defendant.

15. The Plaintiff would further show that the minor child’s great grandmother recently passed away in Israel and she was not able to travel overseas to meet her prior to her death due to Plaintiff’s inability to obtain a passport on her behalf. The Plaintiff would ask that she be allowed to obtain a passport for the minor child to travel overseas to meet her extended maternal relatives without the consent of or participation by the Defendant. She makes this request both pendente lite and permanently.

COUNT IV

(Attorney’s Fees)

16. The Plaintiff would show that based solely upon the Defendant’s actions and/or inactions, she has been forced to hire an attorney to protect her legal interests and those of the minor child by filing this action. The Plaintiff does not have funds to afford a sustained and protracted legal battle. She would therefore request that this Court require the Defendant to reimburse her for her attorney fees and costs in bringing this action, both pendente lite and permanently.

WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff prays that this Honorable Court inquire into this matter and that it issues Its Order granting unto her: a. Sole custody of the minor child; b. Visitation at the Plaintiff’s sole discretion; c. An order transferring the Defendant’s monthly child support obligation of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) to the State of South Carolina State Disbursement Unit; d. An order setting up a 02 account and placing the Defendant’s arrearage totaling ThirtySeven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($37500) into such account and requiring a monthly payment of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) in addition to his ongoing monthly obligation; e. Restraining order as to harassment or contact and conduct around the minor child; f. An order allowing the Plaintiff to obtain a passport for the minor child without involvement or consent of the Defendant; g. Attorney fees; h. Discovery; and i. For such other and further relief as this Court may deem just and proper.
