NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D/B/A DOMINION ENERGY VIRGINIA FOR REVISION OF A RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE: RIDER U, NEW UNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES, FOR THE RATE YEAR COMMENCING APRIL 1, 2023 CASE NO. PUR-2022-00089

•Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has applied for approval to revise its rate adjustment clause, Rider U. •In this case, Dominion has asked the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) to approve Rider U for the rate year beginning April 1, 2023, and ending March 31, 2024 (“Rate Year”). •For the Rate Year, Dominion requests a revenue requirement of $74.256 million, which would decrease the monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per month by $0.51. •A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on January 18, 2023, at 10 a.m., for the receipt of public witness testimony. •The Hearing Examiner will hold an evidentiary hearing in this case on January 19, 2023, at 10 a.m. •Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information.

On June 13, 2022, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an annual update of the Company’s rate adjustment clause, Rider U, pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 6. On June 30, 2022, the Company filed an amended Application (“Application”). Through its Application, the Company seeks to recover costs associated with its Strategic Undergrounding Program (“SUP”). Specifically, the Company provides an update on, and seeks cost recovery associated with, the previously approved Phase One, Phase Two, Phase Three, Phase Four, Phase Five, and Phase Six (collectively, “Previously Approved SUP Phases”) In this proceeding, Dominion has asked the Commission to approve Rider U for the rate year beginning April 1, 2023, and ending March 31, 2024 (“Rate Year”). The Company states that the total revenue requirement for the Rate Year associated with the Previously Approved SUP Phases is $74.256 million. If the proposed Rider U revenue requirement for the Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, implementation of its proposed Rider U on April 1, 2023, would decrease the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.51 compared to the current Rider U. Dominion indicates it has calculated the proposed Rider U rates in accordance with the same methodology as used for rates approved by the Commission in the most recent Rider U proceeding, Case No. PUR-2021-00110, with one exception related to a change in the demand billing determinant for Rate Schedules GS-2 and GS-2T.

Interested persons are encouraged to review Dominion’s Application and supporting documents in full for details about 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 Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents.
