Dominion Energy, Inc
A state-regulated electric utility serving roughly four million customers in Virginia and the Carolinas, Dominion Energy powers homes and businesses across the region. Its roots trace back to the Virginia Railway and Power Company, founded in 1909 to electrify Richmond's streetcar system, and the company is now building one of the largest offshore wind farms in the United States off Virginia's coast — a project nicknamed CVOW, a playful pun on "sea" and "vow."

See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for discussion of these items in more detail. Corporate and Other also includes items attributable to the Corporate and Other segment. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, this primarily included $21 million after-tax benefit for derivative mark-to-market changes. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, this primarily included $24 million after-tax benefit for derivative mark-to-market changes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, this primarily included $20 million after-tax loss for derivative mark-to-market changes. Outlook At June 30, 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. 70 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 Cash flows provided by (used in): Operating activities(1) 2,457 2,429 Investing activities (5,991 ) (6,385 ) Financing activities 3,558 4,004 Net increase in cash, restricted cash and equivalents 24 48 Cash, restricted cash and equivalents at June 30 $ 367 $ 413 (1)Includes cash outflows of $31 million and $39 million for energy efficiency programs in Virginia for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $14 million and $12 million for DSM programs in South Carolina for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating Cash Flows Net cash provided by Dominion Energy’s operating activities increased $28 million, primarily due to higher operating cash flows from electric utility operations driven by riders and impacts from the 2025 Biennial Review ($754 million), partially offset by lower deferred fuel and purchased gas cost recoveries ($251 million), an increase in interest payments primarily driven by higher borrowings ($231 million) and lower settlements of interest rate swaps ($230 million). Investing Cash Flows Net cash used in Dominion Energy’s investing activities decreased $394 million, primarily due to timing of payments for plant construction and other property additions. Financing Cash Flows Net cash from Dominion Energy's financing activities decreased $446 million, primarily due to a decrease in net issuances of short-term debt ($1.3 billion), a decrease in capital contributions from Stonepeak to OSWP, net of distributions from OSWP to Stonepeak ($416 million) and a decrease in net issuances of long-term debt ($288 million), partially offset by 364-day term loan facility borrowings ($1.3 billion) and net supplemental credit facility borrowings ($200 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 six months ended June 30, 2026. Revolving Credit Facilities Dominion Energy’s short-term financing is primarily supported by its joint revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2026, Dominion Energy had $5.9 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 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 June 30, 2026, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheet included $375 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. In July 2026, Dominion Energy repaid $300 million borrowed under this facility. 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 June 30, 2026, Dominion Energy had $200 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility with the proceeds used to support environmental sustainability and social investment initiatives, which was repaid in July 2026. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for borrowings and repayments made during the six months ended June 30, 2026. 71 Issuances and Borrowings of Long-Term Debt During the six months ended June 30, 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. Month Type Public / Private Entity Principal Rate Stated Maturity (millions) March Senior notes Public Virginia Power $ 1,300 4.950 % 2036 March Senior notes Public Virginia Power 850 5.700 % 2056 June Senior notes Public Dominion Energy 825 5.350 % 2036 June Junior subordinated notes Public Dominion Energy 1,000 6.150 % (1) 2056 June Junior subordinated notes Public Dominion Energy 500 6.250 % (1) 2056 Total issuances and borrowings $ 4,475 (1)Rate subject to periodic reset as described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. 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 June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2026: Month Type Entity Principal (1) Rate Stated Maturity (millions) Debt scheduled to mature in 2026 Multiple $ 1,398 various Early repurchases and redemptions None Total repayments, repurchases and redemptions $ 1,398 (1)Total amount redeemed prior to maturity, if any, includes remaining principal plus accrued interest. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for additional information regarding scheduled maturities of Dominion Energy’s long-term debt, including related average interest rates. Remarketing of Long-Term Debt During the six months ended June 30, 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. In May 2026, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings were revised as follows: Moody’s affirmed its credit ratings and revised its outlook from negative to positive; Standard & Poor’s affirmed its credit ratings and revised its outlook from stable to positive; and Fitch affirmed its credit ratings and revised its outlook from stable to positive watch. At June 30, 2026, there have been no other 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 June 30, 2026, there 72 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. Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Other Equity Securities In the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, there is a discussion of Dominion Energy’s existing equity financing programs, including Dominion Energy Direct®. In May 2026, Dominion Energy began purchasing its common stock on the open market for these direct stock purchase plans. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Dominion Energy issued $38 million of stock through these programs, net of fees and commissions. During the third quarter of 2025, Dominion Energy entered into forward sale agreements under its May 2024 at-the-market program for approximately 2.4 million shares of its common stock expected to be settled by the fourth quarter of 2027 at a weighted-average initial forward price of $59.91 per share. In February 2025, Dominion Energy entered into a new at-the-market-program, and during the second quarter of 2025, Dominion Energy entered into forward sale agreements for approximately 11.0 million shares of its common stock expected to be settled in the fourth quarter of 2026 at a weighted-average initial forward price of $55.83 per share. During the third quarter of 2025, Dominion Energy entered into forward sale agreements for approximately 9.6 million shares of its common stock expected to be settled by the fourth quarter of 2027 at a weighted-average initial forward price of $61.11 per share. In December 2025, Dominion Energy provided notice to elect physical settlement of approximately 5.4 million shares under these forward sales agreements, and in December 2025 settled the agreements at a weighted-average final forward price of $60.44 per share. In October 2025, Dominion Energy increased the maximum amount of capacity available under its February 2025 at-the-market program by $1.8 billion. During the first quarter of 2026, Dominion Energy entered into forward sale agreements under its February 2025 at-the-market program for approximately 3.2 million shares of its common stock expected to be settled by the fourth quarter of 2027 at a weighted-average initial forward price of $62.96 per share. During the second quarter of 2026, Dominion Energy entered into forward sale agreements for approximately 7.9 million shares of its common stock expected to be settled by the fourth quarter of 2026 at a weighted-average initial forward price of $67.88 per share. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information. Through June 30, 2026, Dominion Energy has not repurchased and does not plan to repurchase shares of common stock in 2026, except for shares tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock, which does not impact the available capacity under its stock repurchase authorization. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information. Capital Expenditures At June 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to Dominion Energy’s expectation for planned capital expenditures as disclosed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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 Notes 1 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information regarding certain dividend restrictions under the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement and Dominion Energy’s outstanding preferred stock and associated dividend rate, respectively. Subsidiary Dividend Restrictions At June 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to the subsidiary dividend restrictions disclosed in the Subsidiary Dividend Restrictions section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Collateral and Credit Risk Collateral requirements are impacted by capital projects, commodity prices, hedging levels, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings and the credit quality of its counterparties. At June 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to the collateral requirements disclosed in the Collateral and Credit Risk section of MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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 at June 30, 2026 for these activities. Gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- or off-balance sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights.

Business, Future Issues and Other Matters in MD&A and Notes 13 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, Future Issues and Other Matters in the Companies’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and Notes 1, 12 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information on the proposed NextEra Energy Merger as well as various environmental, regulatory, legal and other matters that may impact future results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. 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. Installation of the final turbines comprising the 2.6 GW project is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. The estimated total project cost is approximately $11.7 billion (excluding financing costs and including $0.1 billion of contingency) which reflects revised network upgrade costs assigned by PJM to the CVOW Commercial Project, an estimated impact of certain tariffs which became effective in April 2026 and updated turbine installation projections as well as previously included estimated impacts of a temporary suspension of work order, certain tariffs including those which became effective during 2025, the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in late February 2026 and tariffs which became effective in late February 2026. 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 $83/MWh, compared to the initial filing submission of $80-90/MWh. The expected total project cost reflects a decrease of approximately $0.4 billion, relative to both Virginia Power’s January and May 2026 construction update filings, associated with a revision to projected onshore electrical interconnection costs and network upgrade costs allocated by PJM to the CVOW Commercial Project. The expected total project cost also reflects an increase of approximately $0.4 billion, relative to both Virginia Power’s January and May 2026 construction update filings, $0.3 billion of which is associated with updated projections for turbine installations reflecting weather and other conditions with the remainder associated with other factors experienced, including increased fuel costs, during installations completed through July 2026. In addition, the expected total project cost reflects an increase of approximately $0.2 billion, relative to Virginia Power’s May 2026 construction update filing, associated with revised Section 232 tariffs enacted in April 2026 on equipment expected to be delivered from April 2026 through the end of 2027 that contains steel, aluminum and/or copper products, including the associated impact such revised tariffs had on tariffs 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. Relative to Virginia Power’s January 2026 construction update filing, the expected impact of tariffs is a net increase of approximately $0.1 billion as the increase discussed above related to April 2026 revision of Section 232 tariffs is partially offset by 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 74 Union member or other applicable countries that were the subject of a U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in late February 2026, and 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 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 estimated total project cost above reflects the Companies’ best estimate of the remaining construction costs, including contingency of approximately 7% on such remaining amounts. Such estimate could potentially change for items, certain of which are beyond the Companies’ control, including but not limited to 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, actual network upgrade costs allocated by PJM, adverse weather 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, 113 have been installed through July 2026 with the remaining expected to be laid throughout 2026.

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% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $108 million and $15 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s commodity-based derivative instruments at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. A hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of $154 million and $71 million in the fair value of Virginia Power’s commodity-based derivative instruments at June 30, 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 $17 million and $10 million decrease in earnings at June 30, 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 a $10 million and $7 million decrease in earnings at June 30, 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 June 30, 2026, Dominion Energy and Virginia Power had $9.4 billion and $7.4 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 $294 million and $248 million, respectively, in the fair value of Dominion Energy and Virginia Power’s interest rate derivatives at June 30, 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. 76 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 June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Dominion Energy had €0.1 billion and €0.9 billion in aggregate notional amounts of these foreign currency forward purchase agreements outstanding, respectively. A hypothetical 10% increase in the U.S. dollar to Euro exchange rate would have resulted in a decrease of $14 million and $35 million in the fair value of Dominion Energy’s foreign currency swaps at June 30, 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 $747 million, $364 million and $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 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 $— million, $29 million and $41 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 $408 million, $189 million and $555 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 $1 million, $7 million and $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 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.

From time to time, the Companies are parties to various legal, environmental or other regulatory proceedings, including in the ordinary course of business. SEC regulations require disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that the Companies reasonably believe will exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to the SEC regulations, the Companies use a threshold of $1 million for such proceedings. See the following for discussions on various legal, environmental and other regulatory proceedings to which the Companies are a party, which information is incorporated herein by reference: •Notes 13 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Future Issues and Other Matters in MD&A in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. •Notes 12 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Future Issues and Other Matters in MD&A in this report.

The Companies’ businesses are influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, involve risks and uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and are often beyond their control. A number of these risks and uncertainties have been identified in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which should be taken into consideration when reviewing the information contained in this report. Other than the risk factors discussed below, there have been no material changes with regard to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. For other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement or projection contained in this report, see Forward-Looking Statements in MD&A in this report. Merger Risks The completion of the NextEra Energy Merger is subject to the receipt of consents, approvals and/or findings from governmental entities, which may impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on NextEra Energy or the Companies or could cause either NextEra Energy or Dominion Energy to abandon the NextEra Energy Merger. NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy are not required to and cannot complete the NextEra Energy Merger until after the applicable waiting period under the HSR expires or terminates and the requisite authorizations, approvals, consents and/or permits are received from the FERC, NRC, Virginia Commission, North Carolina Commission and South Carolina Commission. Any of the relevant governmental entities may oppose the NextEra Energy Merger, fail to approve the NextEra Energy Merger, fail to make required findings in favor of the NextEra Energy Merger, or impose certain requirements or obligations as conditions for their consent, approval or findings or in connection with their review. Regulatory approvals of the NextEra Energy Merger or findings with respect to the NextEra Energy Merger may not be obtained on a timely basis or at all, and such approvals or findings may include conditions that could have an adverse effect on NextEra Energy and/or the Companies, and/or result in the abandonment of the NextEra Energy Merger. No assurance can be given that the parties will obtain the necessary approvals or findings or that any required conditions will not have an adverse effect on NextEra Energy following the NextEra Energy Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement, the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement may require NextEra Energy to accept conditions from regulators that could adversely impact NextEra Energy after the NextEra Energy Merger without either of NextEra Energy or Dominion Energy having the right to refuse to close the NextEra Energy Merger on the basis of those regulatory conditions, except that NextEra Energy is generally not required, and Dominion Energy is generally not required to and not permitted to, without NextEra Energy’s prior written consent, take any action or accept any condition that constitutes a “burdensome condition” (as defined in the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement). No assurance can be provided that these risks will not materialize and either adversely impact the Companies prior to or NextEra Energy after the completion of the NextEra Energy Merger or result in the abandonment of the NextEra Energy Merger and adversely impact the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition of the Companies if the required authorizations, approvals, consents and/or permits are not obtained or received. The obligations of each of NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy to complete the NextEra Energy Merger are subject to a number of conditions, which, if not fulfilled, or not fulfilled in a timely manner, may delay closing or result in termination of the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement. Completion of the NextEra Energy Merger is contingent upon the satisfaction or waiver of various closing conditions, including (i) approval of the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement and the plan of merger relating to the First NextEra Energy Merger by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Dominion Energy common stock entitled to vote thereon, (ii) approval of the issuance of the shares of NextEra Energy common stock to be issued in the NextEra Energy Merger by the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the outstanding shares of NextEra Energy common stock entitled to vote thereon in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NYSE, (iii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR, (iv) receipt of specified consents of the FERC, NRC, Virginia Commission, North Carolina Commission and South Carolina Commission, in each case, without the imposition, individually or in the aggregate, of a “burdensome condition” (as defined in the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement), (v) the absence of legal restraints prohibiting the First NextEra 78 Energy Merger, (vi) approval for listing on the NYSE of the shares of NextEra Energy common stock to be issued in the First NextEra Energy Merger, (vii) the continued effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by NextEra Energy in connection with the NextEra Energy Merger, (viii) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality and knowledge qualifiers) and compliance by each party with its covenants under the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement in all material respects and (ix) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to either Dominion Energy or NextEra Energy. Many of the conditions to closing of the NextEra Energy Merger are not within either NextEra Energy’s or Dominion Energy’s control, and Dominion Energy cannot predict when, or if, these conditions will be satisfied. If any of these conditions are not satisfied or waived prior to the outside date specified in the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement, it is possible that the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement may be terminated. Although NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy have agreed in the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement to use reasonable best efforts, subject to certain limitations, to consummate the NextEra Energy Merger, these and other conditions to the closing of the NextEra Energy Merger may fail to be satisfied. In addition, satisfying the conditions to and completing the First NextEra Energy Merger may take longer and could cost more than NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy expect. Furthermore, the requirements for obtaining the required clearances and approvals could delay the closing of the NextEra Energy Merger for a significant period of time or prevent the NextEra Energy Merger from closing at all. Any delay in completing the NextEra Energy merger may adversely affect the benefits that NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy expect to achieve if the NextEra Energy Merger and the integration of the companies’ respective businesses are completed within the expected timeframe. There can be no assurance that all required regulatory approvals will be obtained prior to the termination date under the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement. Uncertainties associated with the NextEra Energy Merger may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees of NextEra Energy or the Companies, which could adversely affect the Companies or the future business and operations of the combined company. NextEra Energy and the Companies are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of their officers and other key employees to execute their business plans. The combined company’s success after the NextEra Energy Merger will depend in part upon its ability to retain key management personnel and other key employees. Current and prospective employees of NextEra Energy or the Companies may experience uncertainty about their roles within the combined company following the NextEra Energy Merger or other concerns regarding the timing and closing of the NextEra Energy Merger or the operations of the combined company following the NextEra Energy Merger, any of which may have an adverse effect on the ability of NextEra Energy or the Companies to retain or attract key management and other key personnel. In addition, the loss of key personnel of NextEra Energy or the Companies could diminish the anticipated benefits of the NextEra Energy Merger and may make the integration of the companies more difficult. Furthermore, the combined company may have to incur significant costs in identifying, hiring and retaining replacements for departing personnel and may lose significant expertise and talent relating to the business of each of NextEra Energy and the Companies. No assurance can be given that the combined company will be able to retain or attract key management personnel and other key employees of NextEra Energy or the Companies to the same extent that NextEra Energy and the Companies have previously been able to retain or attract their own employees. The business relationships of NextEra Energy and the Companies may be subject to disruption due to uncertainty associated with the NextEra Energy Merger, which could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of the Companies pending the NextEra Energy Merger and of the combined company following the NextEra Energy Merger. Parties with which NextEra Energy or the Companies do business may experience uncertainty associated with the NextEra Energy Merger, including with respect to current or future business relationships with NextEra Energy or the Companies. The business relationships of the Companies and NextEra Energy may be subject to disruption as customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, joint venture partners and other business partners may attempt to delay or defer entering into new business relationships, negotiate changes in existing business relationships or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than NextEra Energy or the Companies prior to or following the NextEra Energy Merger. These disruptions could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of the Companies, regardless of whether the NextEra Energy Merger is completed, as well as a material adverse effect on the combined company’s ability to realize the expected benefits of the NextEra Energy Merger. The risk, and adverse effect, of any disruption could be exacerbated by a delay in closing of the NextEra Energy Merger or termination of the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement. The NextEra Energy Merger Agreement subjects the Companies to restrictions on their respective business activities prior to closing of the NextEra Energy Merger. The NextEra Energy Merger Agreement subjects the Companies to restrictions on their respective business activities prior to closing of the NextEra Energy Merger. The NextEra Energy Merger Agreement obligates the Companies to each, among other things, carry on its business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact its business organization, maintain adequate and comparable insurance coverage, preserve its relationships with its employees, counterparties, customers and suppliers and governmental entities with jurisdiction over it. The NextEra Energy Merger Agreement also restricts the Companies from taking certain corporate actions pending the closing date. These restrictions could prevent the Companies 79 from pursuing certain business opportunities that arise prior to the effective time and are outside the ordinary course of business. The NextEra Energy Merger Agreement limits Dominion Energy’s ability to pursue alternatives to the NextEra Energy Merger, may discourage other companies from making a favorable alternative transaction proposal and, in specified circumstances, could require Dominion Energy to pay a termination fee. The NextEra Energy Merger Agreement contains provisions that, subject to certain exceptions, restrict Dominion Energy’s ability to initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage, facilitate or discuss competing third-party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of Dominion Energy, or provide information to a third party that could reasonably be expected to lead to such a proposal. In addition, NextEra Energy generally has an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the NextEra Energy Merger in response to any superior acquisition proposal that may be made before the Dominion Energy board of directors is permitted to withdraw or qualify its recommendation that holders of Dominion Energy common stock vote to approve the proposals relating to the NextEra Energy Merger. In some circumstances on termination of the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement, Dominion Energy may be required to pay a termination fee. These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Dominion Energy from considering or proposing such acquisition, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share cash or market value than the consideration payable in connection with the NextEra Energy Merger, or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower price than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable by Dominion Energy in certain circumstances. Failure to complete the NextEra Energy Merger could negatively impact Dominion Energy’s stock price and have a material adverse effect on the Companies’ results of operations, cash flows and financial positions. If the NextEra Energy Merger is not completed for any reason, including as a result of failure to obtain all requisite regulatory approvals or if the NextEra Energy shareholders or applicable Dominion Energy shareholders fail to approve the applicable proposals, the ongoing businesses of the Companies may be materially adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the NextEra Energy Merger, the Companies would be subject to a number of risks, including the following: •the Companies may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including, in the case of Dominion Energy, negative impacts on its stock price, adverse changes in their credit ratings or outlook, increases in their costs of borrowing or limitations on their ability to access the short- or long-term debt markets; •the Companies may experience negative reactions from regulators or other governmental agencies or government officials; •the Companies may experience negative reactions from their respective customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, joint venture partners and other business partners; •Dominion Energy will still be required to pay certain significant costs relating to the NextEra Energy Merger, such as legal, accounting, consulting, financial advisor and printing fees; •Dominion Energy may be required to pay a termination fee as required by the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement; •matters relating to the NextEra Energy Merger (including integration planning) require substantial commitments of time and resources by management, which may distract management from ongoing business operations and pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to the Companies; and •litigation may be commenced related to any failure to complete the NextEra Energy Merger or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against Dominion Energy to perform its obligations pursuant to the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement. If the NextEra Energy Merger is not completed, the risks described above may materialize and they could have a material adverse effect on the Companies’ results of operations, cash flows, financial position and, in the case of Dominion Energy, its stock price. Dominion Energy is expected to incur significant transaction costs in connection with the NextEra Energy Merger, which may be in excess of those anticipated. Dominion Energy has incurred and is expected to continue to incur significant non-recurring costs associated with negotiating and completing the NextEra Energy Merger. These costs have been, and will continue to be, substantial and, in many cases, will be borne by Dominion Energy whether or not the NextEra Energy Merger is completed. A substantial majority of non-recurring expenses will consist of transaction costs and include, among others, fees paid to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors, employee retention, severance and benefit costs and filing fees. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the NextEra Energy Merger. While Dominion Energy has assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred, there are many factors beyond its control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the expenses. Further, the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement provides that under specified circumstances, including after receipt of certain alternative acquisition proposals, Dominion Energy may be required to pay NextEra Energy a cash termination fee equal to $2.24 billion. The costs described above and any unanticipated costs and expenses, many of which will be borne by Dominion Energy even if the NextEra Energy Merger is not completed, could have an adverse effect on Dominion Energy’s results of operations and financial condition. Litigation relating to the NextEra Energy Merger could result in an injunction preventing the closing of the NextEra Energy Merger and/or substantial costs to 80 Dominion Energy. Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition, merger, or other business combination agreements. Even if such a lawsuit is without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on Dominion Energy’s liquidity and financial condition. Lawsuits against NextEra Energy, Dominion Energy or their respective directors could also seek, among other things, injunctive or other equitable relief, including a request to rescind parts of the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement already implemented and to otherwise enjoin the parties from consummating the NextEra Energy Merger. One of the conditions to the closing is that no law or governmental order is in effect that restrains, enjoins, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits the closing of the NextEra Energy Merger. Consequently, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting closing, that injunction may delay or prevent the NextEra Energy Merger from being completed within the expected timeframe or at all, which may adversely affect Dominion Energy’s financial condition and operating results. Either NextEra Energy or Dominion Energy may terminate the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement if any governmental order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the NextEra Energy Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement becomes final and nonappealable, so long as the party seeking to terminate the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement has used its reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of and to remove such governmental order in accordance with the terms of the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement. There can be no assurance that any of the defendants will be successful in the outcome of any potential future lawsuits. The defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the time the NextEra Energy Merger is completed may adversely affect the combined company’s results of operations and financial condition. NextEra Energy may be unable to integrate the business of Dominion Energy (including Virginia Power) successfully or realize the anticipated benefits of the NextEra Energy Merger. The NextEra Energy Merger involves the combination of companies that currently operate as independent public companies. The combination of independent businesses is complex, costly and time consuming, and each of NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy (including Virginia Power) will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating their respective businesses. Potential difficulties that the companies may encounter as part of the integration process include: •the inability to successfully combine the businesses of Dominion Energy (including Virginia Power) with NextEra Energy in a manner that permits NextEra Energy to achieve, on a timely basis or at all, the benefits anticipated to result from the NextEra Energy Merger; •complexities associated with managing the combined businesses, including difficulties addressing differences in operational philosophies and challenges integrating complex systems, technology, networks and other assets of each of the companies in a seamless manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies; •the assumption of contractual obligations with less favorable or more restrictive terms; and •potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the NextEra Energy Merger. In addition, NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy (including Virginia Power) have previously operated and, until the closing, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in: •diversion of the attention of each company’s management; and •the disruption of, or the loss of momentum in, each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. Any of these issues could adversely affect each company’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies or achieve the anticipated benefits of the NextEra Energy Merger and could reduce each company’s earnings or otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of NextEra Energy following the NextEra Energy Merger. The benefits attributable to the NextEra Energy Merger may vary from expectations. NextEra Energy may fail to realize the anticipated benefits expected from the NextEra Energy Merger, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and operating results. The success of the NextEra Energy Merger will depend, in significant part, on NextEra Energy’s ability to successfully integrate the Companies’ business and realize the anticipated strategic benefits from the combination. The anticipated benefits of the NextEra Energy Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the NextEra Energy Merger Agreement may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Actual operating, technological, strategic and other benefits, if achieved at all, may be less significant than expected or may take longer to achieve than anticipated. If the combined company is not able to achieve these objectives and realize the anticipated benefits expected from the NextEra Energy Merger within the anticipated timing or at all, the combined company’s business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. The NextEra Energy Merger may result in a loss of customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, joint venture partners and other business partners and may result in the modification or termination of existing contracts. Following the NextEra Energy Merger, some of the customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, joint venture partners and other business partners of NextEra Energy or the Companies may modify, terminate or scale back their current or prospective business relationships with the combined 81 company. In addition, NextEra Energy and the Companies have contracts with customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, joint venture partners and other business partners that may require NextEra Energy or the Companies to obtain consents from these other parties in connection with the NextEra Energy Merger, which may not be obtained on favorable terms or at all. If relationships with customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, joint venture partners and other business partners are adversely affected by the NextEra Energy Merger, or if the combined company loses the benefits of the contracts of NextEra Energy or the Companies, the combined company’s business and financial performance could suffer.
