Hello,

Roslyn C Tyler <DelRTyler@house.virginia.gov> Friday, December 4, 2020 1 :14 PM Christopher Cornwell Mike Johnson Legislation for Charter Change

I am writing regarding your request for a charter change for eliminating a 3 person selection committee for school board appointments. In discussion, with the state legislative services regarding your request. Counties do not have charters, only cities and towns. Counties prefer referendums on election of school board members. Therefore, the Board of Supervisors will have to approved the language and process that they would like to pursue to address of elected school board members.

I have shared this information with Mike Johnson, as well. Should you have any additional questions. Please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely.

(“DR”) DSM program.2 The Commission approved the Phase VIII Programs for a period of five

years, subject to future extensions as requested by the Company and granted by the Commission,

with exception of approving the HB 2789 (Heating and Cooling/Health and Safety) Program for

a period of three years.3

6. The July 30, 2020 Final Order also approved: (1) an extension of the Company’s

existing AC Cycling Program for additional two years; (2) the DSM Phase VII Residential

Thermostat (EE) and (DR) Programs, as well as the Residential Customer Engagement Program,

which were brought back to the Commission to reflect updated cost/benefit modeling; and (3)

approval of the continuation of the A-line LED measures within the DSM Phase VII Residential

Home Energy Assessment and Residential Efficient Marketplace Programs. Finally, the

Commission approved Riders C1A, C2A, and C3A effective for usage on and after September 1,

2020.4 The Commission directed the Company to file its next DSM update “no later than

December 3, 2020.”5

II. LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

7. The VCEA became effective on July 1, 2020, and contains several provisions that

amend the laws related to DSM programs. According to Subsection A 5 c of the VCEA, a

petition for energy efficiency programs shall include a “proposed budget for the design,

implementation, and operation of the energy efficiency program, including anticipated savings

from and spending on each program, and the Commission shall grant a final order on such

petitions within eight months of initial filing.” This Subsection also includes provisions that the

Commission shall allow a margin for recovery on operating expenses for energy efficiency

programs until January 1, 2022, after which a margin is dependent on what the Company has

proposed, what the Commission has approved, and whether the Company has met its total annual

savings targets. Within this Subsection, the VCEA also repealed the opportunity to seek lost

revenues through RACs.

8. The VCEA also amended which customers are eligible to participate in and

required to pay for costs associated with energy efficiency programs, by removing the automatic

exemption under Subsection A 5 c for large commercial and industrial customers. Moreover, the

VCEA redefined a Large General Service Customer (“LGS”) as a customer that has a verifiable

history of having used more than one megawatt (“MW”) of demand from a single site and

directed the Commission to establish a qualification and opt-out process for eligible LGS

Customers that implement energy efficiency measures at their own expense. Now, the VCEA

allows LGS Customers to opt-out and request an exemption from the energy efficiency

requirements provided for in Subsection A 5. The Commission initiated a rulemaking pursuant

to this change in law that is currently pending in Case No. PUR-2020-00172.

6

9. Va. Code § 56-596.2 now requires that, of the $870 million of projected costs of

energy efficiency programs that the Company must propose between 2020-2018, at least 15% of

costs be for programs designed to benefit low-income and elderly, disabled individuals, or

veterans.

10. The VCEA, through Va. Code § 56-596.2, also specifies total annual energy

savings targets, starting in year 2022 through 2025, with savings targets to be set by the

Commission thereafter.

11. Lastly, the VCEA through Va. Code § 56-596.2 expanded the scope of the

stakeholder group to include feedback and input on (i) the development of energy efficiency

programs and portfolios of programs; (ii) compliance with total annual energy savings targets

and effect on integrated resource plans; (iii) recommended policy reforms to ensure maximum

and cost-effective energy efficiency; and (iv) best practices for evaluation, measurement, and

verification (“EM&V”) services. Section 56-596.2 also provides that a utility must use a third

party evaluator to perform EM&V on total annual savings targets, and requires a third party

evaluator to provide reports on its findings concurrently to the Commission and the utility.

12. In addition, as a result of the passage of House Bill (“HB”) 2789 during the 2019

General Assembly Session, and as amended in the 2020 session through HB 1656, the Company

is required to submit a petition for approval to design, implement, and operate a three-year

program of energy efficiency and health and safety measures providing incentives to low

income, elderly, disabled individuals, or veterans. Specifically, this legislation calls for a

program that would offer incentives to participants of the first component HB 2789 (Heating and

Cooling/Health and Safety), as well as eligible participants that have installed heating or cooling

measures from other Company-sponsored DSM Programs, for the installation of equipment to

7

generate electricity from sunlight. Projected and actual costs, not currently in rates, for the

prescribed solar program are eligible for recovery under Va. Code § 56-585.1 A 5 g.

III. PROPOSED PHASE IX PROGRAMS

13. The Company seeks approval in this proceeding of the following 11 Phase IX

Programs, which include a mixture of EE DSM Programs and a DR DSM Program as those

terms are defined by Va. Code § 56-576:

• Residential Income and Age Qualifying (EE)

• Residential Water Savings (EE)

• Residential Water Savings (DR)

• Residential Smart Home (EE)

• Residential Virtual Audit (EE)

• Non-residential Agricultural (EE) • Non-residential Building Automation (EE)

• Non-residential Building Optimization (EE)

• Non-residential Engagement (EE)

• Non-residential Enhanced Prescriptive (EE)

• HB 2789 (Solar Component) Program

The direct testimony and schedules of Company Witness Michael T. Hubbard provide details

regarding these Programs and the measures included therewith, as well as the projected

participation and energy and demand savings.

8

14. The Company seeks approval of the Phase IX Programs for a five-year period,

from January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2026, subject to future extensions as requested and granted

by the Commission. The Company believes a five-year approval period better aligns with the

market, avoids disruptive starts and stops of the programs, and is widely supported by

stakeholders as discussed in the moderator-led process. A complete five-year period to have an

active program allows for a program to properly launch and gain acceptance without the

potential risk of having to wind it down as it begins to gain full customer acceptance and

expected deployment levels. The only exception is for the Company’s proposed HB 2789 (Solar

Component) Program. Consistent with the legislation requiring submittal of that Program, the

Company is proposing a three-year term.

15. The proposed cost cap for the Phase IX Programs in the aggregate is

approximately $162 million. Information regarding the individual proposed cost caps for each

Program, and the associated details, are provided by Company Witness Jarvis E. Bates.

Consistent with previous DSM applications, the Company requests the ability to exceed the

spending cap by no more than 5%.

16. Consistent with the Commission’s approval of the DSM Phase VIII Programs,6

the Company seeks authorization to spend directly for these programs for a reasonable amount of

time before and after the approval period so that the programs can run for a full five years and

then have additional time built in for launch and wind-down activities.

17. The Company’s Application, through the pre-filed direct testimony and exhibits

of its witnesses and Filing Schedule 46, demonstrates that the Company’s proposed Programs

meet the guidelines specified in the Cost/Benefit Rules as well as the standards specified in the

Promotional Allowances Rules. In accordance with the Cost/Benefit Rules and subject to the 6 July 30, 2020 Final Order at 16.

9

request for waiver in Paragraph 18, below, the Company has analyzed each of the proposed

DSM Programs individually and as a portfolio, using the four required cost/benefit tests: the

Participant Test, the Utility Cost Test, the Ratepayer Impact Measure Test, and the Total

Resource Cost Test. The results of each of the tests are set forth in Company Witness Edmund

Hall’s pre-filed direct testimony and schedules.

18. Pursuant to the Commission’s Cost/Benefit Rule 30, 20 VAC 5-304-30, the

Commission may grant a waiver of strict adherence to the minimum guidelines for data input and

modeling assumptions for utilities in “unusual circumstances.”7 In this case, the Company

requests a waiver of the Cost/Benefit Rules as it relates to the proposed HB 2789 (Solar

Component) Program. Specifically, the HB 2789 (Solar Component) was legislatively

prescribed to be part of the Company’s DSM proposal; however, it is not a traditional energy

efficiency or peak shaving program as those terms are defined by the Virginia Code.

Accordingly, the traditional four cost/benefit tests should not be applicable without making

certain forced modeling assumptions that the Company does not believe are appropriate. The

Company would also note that as a Program designed to benefit low-income, elderly, veteran and

disabled customers, it is deemed to be in the public interest separate and apart from cost/benefit

results, which the Commission may find alleviates the need to run traditional cost/benefit tests.

IV. REQUESTS FOR APPROVAL OF DSM PROGRAM UPDATES

A. Non-residential DG Program Extension

19. The Company proposes to extend the DSM Phase II non-residential DG Program

for an additional two years. The Company seeks Commission approval for this extension

because the DG Program continues to be an important resource for the Company during periods

7 20 VAC 5-304-30.

10

of peak demand. The Company is not seeking additional funds under the current cost cap for this

Program, as the current level should be sufficient to cover expenses for the requested additional

two years. The Company is seeking this short-term extension in order to bridge a gap between

the current Program and any other future programs that are similar in nature.

B. Expansion of the Eligibility Requirements for Non-Residential DSM Programs

20. With the VCEA changing the law from an automatic exemption to an opt-out

process for large general service customers and the demand threshold changing from 500 kW to

1 MW, the Company believes changes in program cost recovery and eligibility are also

appropriate to allow large customers to participate in certain of the Company’s non-residential

programs. Specifically, the Company proposes to expand eligibility requirements for the

following DSM Phase VII and Phase VIII Programs: Non-residential Lighting Systems and

Controls, Non-residential Heating and Cooling Efficiency, Non-residential Window Film and

Non-residential Small Manufacturing Programs. These Programs were designed such that

eligibility was capped at 500 kW—consistent with the statute in effect under the Grid

Transformation and Security Act (“GTSA”). With the change in the VCEA discussed above

whereby customers over 500 kW are no longer exempt from paying for energy efficiency

programs, the Company believes changing eligibility for applicable non-residential programs is

also appropriate. In other words, if these larger customers are going to begin paying for Phase

VII and VIII energy efficiency programs as of the beginning of the proposed Rate Year, they

should also be eligible to participate in the non-residential programs available through those

DSM Phases.

11

V. APPROVAL OF UPDATED RIDERS C1A, C2A, C3A, AND PROPOSED RIDER C4A

A. Rate Year

21. The Company presents a rate year of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022,

(“Rate Year”) for the updated Riders C1A, C2A, C3A, and the proposed Rider C4A.

B. Assignment and Allocation of Costs

22. The costs for the DSM Programs may be viewed primarily in two categories:

direct (Program costs) and indirect (Common costs). The estimated Program costs include costs

primarily based on signed vendor contracts for the approved Programs and estimated costs based

updated vendor pricing information for the proposed Phase IX Programs. Costs that are part of

the implementation of Programs that are not specifically associated with any individual DSM

Program are Common costs and include certain customer communication costs, Energy

Conservation department labor costs, dues and association costs, customer service, and external

vendor costs. The Company proposes to determine cost responsibility in the same manner as the

Commission approved in the 2019 DSM proceeding. The approach for determining

jurisdictional responsibility is first to assign Program costs to the jurisdiction based upon

participation in the Programs, and second to allocate Common costs to the jurisdiction based on

the jurisdiction’s Program costs, both capital and expenses, compared to total Program costs for

the system. Customer class responsibility is determined by allocating costs to the customer

classes on the basis of an average and excess production demand factor. The pre-filed direct

testimony of Company Witness Christopher C. Hewett presents the manner in which Program

costs and Common costs will be assigned or allocated to the Virginia Jurisdiction using

appropriate factors.

12

C. Revenue Requirement Request

23. The cost components of Riders C1A, C2A, C3A, and C4A are comprised of

operating expenses projected to be incurred during the Rate Year8 and a Monthly True-Up

Adjustment comparing actual costs for the 2019 calendar year to the actual revenues collected

during the same period. Detailed costs were used to calculate the requested revenue requirement

for Riders C1A, C2A, C3A, and C4A for the proposed Rate Year. The calculation of the

revenue requirement is discussed in the pre-filed direct testimony of Company Witness Elizabeth

Lecky.

24. The projected Rate Year operating expenses from September 1, 2021 through

August 31, 2022, are included for recovery on a current basis during the Rate Year. A margin is

authorized to be recovered effective for qualifying expenditures. For purposes of the Rate Year,

pursuant to Va. Code § 56-585.1 a 5 c, the margin “shall be equal to the general rate of return on

common equity determined as described in subdivision A 2 of [§ 56-585.1].” The Company

utilized a 9.2% return on equity (“ROE”) for purposes of calculating the projected Rate Year

operating expenses, with the exception of the proposed Phase IX HB 2789 (Solar Component)

Program, consistent with the Commission’s order issued November 21, 2019, in Case No. PUR-

2019-00050. The HB 2789 (Solar Component) Program is proposed under Subsection A 5 g

rather than Subsection A 5 c. Thus, it is the Company’s understanding that Subsection A 5 g

does not authorize a margin on operations and maintenance expenses. Accordingly, the

Company has not included such costs in the calculation of the revenue requirement. Moreover,

no such margin, however, is authorized by Subsection A 5 for the Rider C1A peak-shaving

programs (i.e., the EV Pilot Program, the Non-residential DG Program, the Residential Smart

8 The Electric Vehicle (“EV”) Pilot Program closed on November 30, 2018; therefore, there are no projected costs for the Rate Year.

13

Thermostat Management Program (DR), the Residential Electric Vehicle Program (DR), and the

Residential Water Savings Program (DR)), and none has been included on those projected

operating expenses in this filing.

25. The revenue requirement also includes a True-up of 2019 calendar year costs

associated with Phase II, III, IV, V, and VI, and VII DSM Programs and EV Pilot Program

through a Monthly True-Up Adjustment. The actual 2019 calendar year expenditures are used to

calculate a 2019 actual revenue requirement and then compared to the actual 2019 revenues to

produce the Monthly True-Up Adjustment. For purposes of the margin authorized to be

recovered for qualifying expenditures during the 2019 calendar year, the Company utilized a

9.2% ROE for the period of January 1, 2019 through November 20, 2019, per the Commission’s

Final Order in Case No. PUR-2017-00038; and also utilized a 9.2% ROE for the period of

November 21, 2019 through December 31, 2019, per the Commission’s Final Order in Case No.

PUR-2019-00050.

26. Company Witness Lecky’s pre-filed direct testimony details the projected

Subsection A 5 costs, differentiated between capital and expense, and Riders C2A, C3A, and

C4A costs qualifying for the margin as provided for under Subsection A 5. In addition,

Company Witness Lecky depicts the revenue requirement separately for Rider C1A, C2A, C3A,

and Rider C4A.

27. The Company requests recovery of the Rate Year Projected Revenue Requirement

for Rider C1A in the amount of $3,629,164. This amount, combined with the Monthly Rider

C1A True-up Adjustment of ($2,473,677), provides the Rider C1A total revenue requirement of

$1,155,487. For Rider C2A, the Rate Year Projected Revenue Requirement of $2,935,551 is

combined with the Monthly Rider C2A True-up Adjustment of ($1,101,854) to provide the Rider

14

C2A total revenue requirement of $1,833,697. For Rider C3A, the Rate Year Projected Revenue

Requirement of ($237,150) is combined with the Monthly Rider C3A True-up Adjustment of

($7,667,471) to provide the Rider C3A total revenue requirement of ($7,904,620). For Rider

C4A, the Rate Year Projected Revenue Requirement constitutes the Rider C4A total revenue

requirement of $83,035,266, there is no Monthly True-Up Adjustment for Rider C4A. Thus, for

Riders C1A, C2A, C3A, and C4A, the combined revenue requirement in this proceeding totals

$78,119,830.

D. Rate Design

28. The Riders C1A, C2A, C3A, and C4A, which are sponsored by Company Witness

Emilia L. Catron, identify the rates, in cents per kilowatt-hour (“kWh”), that will apply to each

Company Rate Schedule. If approved as proposed, the Riders C1A, C2A, C3A, and C4A will be

applicable for billing purposes with a rate effective date for usage on or after the latter of

September 1, 2021, or the first day of the month which is at least fifteen (15) days following the

date of any Commission order approving Riders C1A, C2A, C3A, and C4A.

29. The implementation of the proposed Riders C1A, C2A, C3A, and C4A will

decrease the residential customer’s monthly bill, based on 1,000 kWh usage per month, by $0.10.

Company Witness Catron’s testimony provides typical bill changes for customers served under

Residential Schedule 1, General Service Schedules GS-1, GS-2, and Church Rate Schedule 5C,

showing the impact that the updated Riders C1A, C2A, C3A, and C4A will have on customer

bills, at representative levels of consumption. This is because Exempt customers would likely

not receive service under one of these rate schedules and, therefore, all riders will apply.

However, for customers served under Rate Schedules GS-3 and GS-4, typical bill changes are

provided to show the impact of the Rider C1A alone, and the impact of Riders C1A, C2A, and

15

C4A combined. Typical bill changes that reflect only the impact of Rider C1A alone would be

applicable to customers that were previously opted out or Exempt from C2A and opt out of C4A,

as those opt outs are able to occur in the future.

VI. SUPPORTING TESTIMONY, FILING SCHEDULE 46 AND REQUEST FOR WAIVER

30. The Company’s Application is supported by the pre-filed direct testimonies of

Company Witnesses Nathan J. Frost, Michael T. Hubbard, Edmund J. Hall, Jarvis E. Bates,

Elizabeth Lecky, Christopher C. Hewett, Emilia L. Catron, and Dan Feng.

31. Section 20 VAC 5-201-60 of the Rate Case Rules provides that an application

filed pursuant to Subsection A 5 “shall include Schedules 45 and 46 as identified and described

in 20 VAC 5-201-90, and which shall be submitted with the utility’s direct testimony.”

A. Request for Waiver of Filing Schedule 45 Requirements

32. The Company, for good cause shown and pursuant to 20 VAC 5-201-10 E,

respectfully requests that the Commission waive, in part, the requirements under Rules 60 and 90

of the Rate Case Rules with respect to Filing Schedule 45 (Return on Equity Peer Group

Benchmark). Specifically, the Company has requested in this Application that the general ROE

of 9.2% be used to calculate the revenue requirement, as directed by the Commission’s Final

Order in Case No. PUR-2019-00050. Pursuant to Va. Code § 56-585.1:1 C 3, the ROE

determined in that proceeding applies to all Subsection A 5 and A 6 RACs effective as of the

date (i.e., November 21, 2019) of the Commission’s Final Order. To promote judicial economy

and efficiency of case administration, the Company requests a waiver of Filing Schedule 45’s

filing requirements in this proceeding. For these reasons, and pending consideration of its

procedural request, the Company respectfully requests that the Commission waive, for good

16

cause shown, the requirements of 20 VAC 5-201-60 and 20 VAC 5-201-90 with respect to the

submission of Filing Schedule 45 with this Application.

C. Request for Waiver of Filing Schedule 46 Requirements

34. The Company, for good cause shown and pursuant to 20 VAC 5-201-10 E,

additionally respectfully requests that the Commission waive, in part, the requirements under

Rules 60 and 90 of the Rate Case Rules with respect to paper copies of certain Filing Schedule

46 materials. Specifically, the Rate Case Rules require the Company provide all documents,

contracts, studies, investigations or correspondence that support projected costs proposed to be

recovered via the rate adjustment clause. Even with the limitation of only including those

materials that are new since the prior DSM Update, the supporting documentation responsive to

this requirement is voluminous and, often, not easily reviewed in hard copy (paper) format.

Accordingly, and after consultation with certain members of the Commission Staff, the Company

seeks waiver of the requirement to file this information in hard copy. Instead, the Company

proposes to provide this documentation to Commission Staff and any other future case

participant in electronic format only. The Company will make these documents available via an

e-room contemporaneously with this filing, with immediate access available to Commission

Staff. Should the Commission deny this request, the Company asks for a reasonable allowance

of time to print the requisite filing copies of this material and submit it to the Commission prior

to the Company’s application being deemed incomplete. Documents subjects to this waiver are

Filing Schedule 46A, Statement 3 and Filing Schedule 46B, Statement 3 (all extraordinarily

sensitive).

19

VII. REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE TREATMENT OF

EXTRAORDINARILY SENSITIVE INFORMATION

35. The Company’s Application contains, at points so designated, Confidential and

Extraordinarily Sensitive information, which is being filed under seal and subject to the

Company’s Motion for Protective Ruling and Additional Protective Treatment filed coincident

hereto. Because portions of the Company’s Application contain such Confidential and

Extraordinarily Sensitive information, in compliance with Rule 10 F of the Rate Case Rules and

Rule 170 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, 20 VAC 5-201-10 F and 5 VAC

5-20-170, this filing is accompanied by a separate Motion for Protective Ruling and Additional

Protective Treatment, including a form Proposed Protective Ruling, filed contemporaneously

with this Application.

of the Rate Case Rules. In accordance with Rule 10 A, 20 VAC 5-201-10 A, the Company filed

with the Commission on September 28, 2020, the Company’s notice of intent to file this

Application under Va. Code § 56-585.1 A 5. Copies of this Application, to the extent required

by Rule 10 J of the Rate Case Rules, along with the additional information required by Rule 10 J,

are simultaneously with this filing being served upon persons addressed in that Rule. A

complete copy of the Public Version of this Application, along with testimony and supporting

schedules, has been served upon the Division of Consumer Counsel of the Office of the Attorney

General, in conformity with Rule 10 J.

20

Projected Cost Recovery Factor and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor.7 The Company is

requesting a Projected Cost Recovery Factor revenue requirement of $112,977,000 and an Actual

Cost True-Up Factor revenue requirement of $457,000.8 Thus, the Company is requesting a total

revenue requirement of $113,434,000 for service rendered during the 2021 Rate Year.9

Dominion requests a rate effective date for usage on and after the latter of September 1, 2021, or

the first day of the month that is at least 15 days following the date of any Commission order

approving Rider BW.10

For purposes of calculating the Projected Cost Recovery Factor in this case, Dominion

utilized an enhanced rate of return on common equity ("ROE") of 10.2%, which was approved

Rider BW, which allowed Dominion to recover costs associated with the development of the

Project.4 The Company has since annually updated its Rider BW rate adjustment clause.5

In this proceeding, Dominion has asked the Commission to approve Rider BW for the

rate year beginning September 1, 2021, and ending August 31,2022 ("2021 Rate Year").6 The

two key components of the proposed total revenue requirement for the 2021 Rate Year are the

by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2019-00050.11 This includes a general ROE of 9.2%, plus

a 100 basis points enhanced return, as provided for in Code § 56-585.1 A 6, for a combined cycle

generating station.12 For purposes of calculating the Actual Cost True-Up Factor, the Company

used an enhanced ROE of 10.2%, including a general ROE of 9.2%, plus a ROE adder of 100

basis points.13

If the proposed Rider BW for the 2021 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 BW on September 1, 2021, would increase the monthly bill

of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.15.14

Dominion also requests a waiver of Rules 20 VAC 5-201-60 ("Rule 60") and

20 VAC 5-201-90 ("Rule 90") of the Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual

Informational Filings ("Rate Case Rules") with respect to Schedule 45 and Schedule 46 (in part).

Rule 60 of the Rate Case Rules requires that an application filed pursuant to Code

§ 56-585.1 A 6 include Schedule 45, "Return on Equity Peer Group Benchmark," with the

utility's direct testimony. Rule 90 of the Rate Case Rules states that Schedule 45 must include

"documentation supporting the return on equity benchmark proposed pursuant to

§ 56-585.1 A 2 a and b of the Code___" In support of its request for waiver of Schedule 45,

Dominion states that it is requesting that the general ROE of 9.2%, as set by the Commission in

responsive to this request is voluminous and therefore the Company proposes to provide the

documentation in electronic format only.17

Finally, in conjunction with the filing of its Application on October 5, 2020, the

Company filed the Motion of Virginia Electric and Power Company for Entry of a Protective

Ruling and a proposed protective ruling that establishes procedures governing the use of

confidential information in this proceeding.

NOW THE COMMISSION, upon consideration of this matter, is of the opinion and finds

that this matter should be docketed; Dominion should provide public notice of its Application; a

hearing should be scheduled for the purpose of receiving testimony and evidence on the

15 Application at 10. Case No. PUR-2019-00050 was filed pursuant to Code § 56-585.1:1 C, which states that the ROE set in such a case applies to future rate adjustment clauses filed pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 6, including the

current proceeding.

Case No. PUR-2019-00050, be used to calculate the revenue requirement for Rider BW.15

Accordingly, the Company asserts that waiver of this schedule in this proceeding is warranted by

judicial economy and efficiency of case administration.16

Dominion also requests that the Commission waive, in part, the requirements under Rule

60 and Rule 90 of the Rate Case Rules with respect to Schedule 46. Rule 60 requires that an

application filed pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 6 include Schedule 46, "Projected Rate

Adjustment Clause Pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 4, A 5 b, c and d or A 6 of the Code of Virginia,"

with the utility's direct testimony. Rule 90 states that the Company must "provide all documents,

contracts, studies, investigations or correspondence that support projected costs proposed to be

recovered via a rate adjustment clause." According to Dominion, the supporting documentation

Application; interested persons should have an opportunity to file comments on the Application

or to participate as respondents in this proceeding; and the Commission's Staff ("Staff) should

be directed to investigate the Application and file testimony and exhibits containing its findings

and recommendations thereon. Further, we find that a Hearing Examiner should be assigned to

conduct all further proceedings in this matter on behalf of the Commission, including filing a

final report containing the Hearing Examiner's findings and recommendations. Finally, we grant

Dominion's request to waive, in part, the filing of Schedules 45 and 46 for purposes of

commencing this proceeding.

The Commission further takes judicial notice of the ongoing public health emergency

related to the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, and the declarations of emergency issued

at both the state and federal levels.18 The Commission has taken certain actions, and may take

additional actions going forward, that could impact the procedures in this proceeding.19

Consistent with these actions, in regard to the terms of the procedural framework established

below, the Commission will, among other things, direct the electronic filing of testimony and

pleadings unless they contain confidential information, and require electronic service on parties

to this proceeding.

For clarification, we note that the proposed Rider BW, if approved, would result in an

increase to customer bills. We realize that the current COVID-19 public health crisis has caused

devastating economic effects that impact all utility customers. We responded to this economic

emergency by, among other actions, suspending for approximately six months customer

disconnections from utility service and directing Virginia utilities to offer extended payment

plans, without late fees for those who are current on such plans, to protect customers from

service disconnections. We are sensitive to the effects of rate increases, especially in times such

as these. The Commission, however, must and will follow the laws applicable to this case, as

well as the findings of fact supported by evidence in the record.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) This matter is docketed and assigned Case No. PUR-2020-00230.

(2) All pleadings in this matter should be submitted electronically to the extent

authorized by Rule 5 VAC 5-20-150, Copies and format, of the Commission's Rules of Practice

shall not be submitted electronically and should comply with 5 VAC 5-20-170, Confidential

information, of the Rules of Practice. For the duration of the COVID-19 emergency, any person

seeking to hand deliver and physically file or submit any pleading or other document shall

On October 5, 2020, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia ("Dominion" or "Company"), pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 6 of the Code of Virginia ("Code") and the State Corporation Commission's ("Commission") Final Order in Case No. PUR-2019-00160, filed with the Commission an annual update with respect to the Company's rate adjustment clause, Rider BW ("Application"). Through its Application, the Company seeks to recover costs associated with the Brunswick County Power Station, a 1,358 megawatt (nominal) natural gas-fired, combined-cycle electric generating facility, as well as the related transmission interconnection facilities, in Brunswick County, Virginia ("Project").

In Case No. PUE-2012-00128, the Commission approved construction of the Project. In conjunction therewith, the Commission also approved a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider BW, which allowed Dominion to recover costs associated

8

with the development of the Project. The Company has since annually updated its Rider BW rate adjustment clause.

In this proceeding, Dominion has asked the Commission to approve Rider BW for the rate year beginning September 1, 2021, and ending August 31, 2022 ("2021 Rate Year"). The two key components of the proposed total revenue requirement for the 2021 Rate Year are the Projected Cost Recovery Factor and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor. The Company is requesting a Projected Cost Recovery Factor revenue requirement of $112,977,000 and an Actual Cost True-Up Factor revenue requirement of $457,000. Thus, the Company is requesting a total revenue requirement of $113,434,000 for service rendered during the 2021 Rate Year. Dominion requests a rate effective date for usage on and after the latter of September 1, 2021, or the first day of the month that is at least 15 days following the date of any Commission order approving Rider BW.

For purposes of calculating the Projected Cost Recovery Factor in this case, Dominion utilized an enhanced rate of return on common equity ("ROE") of 10.2%, which was approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2019-00050. This includes a general ROE of 9.2%, plus a 100 basis points enhanced return, as provided for in Code § 56 585.1 A 6, for a combined cycle generating station. For purposes of calculating the Actual Cost True Up Factor, the Company used an enhanced ROE of 10.2%, including a general ROE of 9.2%, plus an ROE adder of 100 basis points.

If the proposed Rider BW for the 2020 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 BW on September 1, 2021, would increase the monthly bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.15.

Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application 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 Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company's Application and supporting documents.

9

A public hearing on the Application shall be convened on March 23, 2021, at 10 a.m., to receive the testimony of public witnesses and the evidence of the Company, any respondents, and the Commission's Staff ("Staff'). Further details on the hearing will be provided by subsequent Commission Order or Hearing Examiner's Ruling.

The Commission has taken judicial notice of the ongoing public health emergency related to the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, and the declarations of emergency issued at both the state and federal levels. In accordance therewith, all pleadings, briefs, or other documents required to be served in this matter should be submitted electronically to the extent authorized by 5 VAC 5-20-150, Copies and format, of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure ("Rules of Practice").
