Front Cover:
Dominion Virginia Power’s soon-to-be-completed Brunswick
County Power Station in southeastern Virginia is a clean-burning,
natural gas-fired generating facility expected to serve nearly
340,000 customers for decades. It is also expected to have a low
carbon-intensity rate.
IFC:
Our customers demand reliable energy service, 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. In 2015, the average Dominion Virginia Power customer
lost electricity for less than two hours, excluding major storms.

England, stands in front of a group of solar panels at the Somers Solar
Center near the Massachusetts state line in Connecticut. The facility,
which entered service in late 2013, provides power to about 5,000
homes. Somers was one of Dominion’s first solar power projects and a
part of our commitment to increasing renewable generating capacity.

helps pressurize and move natural gas through our high-pressure
pipeline system.
Right: In 2015, Dominion Virginia Power placed into service a record
$1.06 billion in electric transmission assets. The 100-mile Mount
Storm to Doubs 500-kilovolt rebuild was completed in June 2014 and
moves electricity into energy-intensive Northern Virginia.

part of Virginia provides electric power to 335,000 homes and
businesses in our Dominion Virginia Power service area. The gas-fired
facility came online in 2014.

Power’s linemen has improved service reliability for our customers.

area for natural and historic preservation. Warren County employees
(at right, from left to right) Jeffery Morton, Ron Scott, Bryan Cuffe and
James Adams help keep the lights on in our Virginia service area.
Lower left: Nearly 1,600 workers are on site at Cove Point constructing
a liquefaction facility, which would allow natural gas export to
American allies in Japan and India. The construction is completely
within a fence line that protects an 800-acre nature preserve.
Lower right: Crews have surveyed most of the nearly 600-mile
Atlantic Coast Pipeline route. The $4.5 billion to $5 billion project
would transport natural gas into Virginia and North Carolina,
providing access to additional gas resources for electric and gas
utilities, including Dominion Virginia Power.

Left: The $1.2 billion Brunswick County facility, in the final stages of
testing, was planned to meet future consumer demand growth.
Right: Pavant Solar, located in Millard County, Utah, came online
in 2015. It is part of a program to spend more than $2 billion on
long-term contracted solar facilities through 2016.

Top left: Pavant entered service in 2015. A 33 percent ownership
interest in the facility was sold to SunEdison, Inc., in early 2016.
Below: An ownership interest in the Somers Solar Center was sold to
SunEdison in late 2015. The facility provides power under a long-term
agreement with a local utility, Connecticut Light & Power Co.

our ecosystem to elementary school students in 10 states.

World Cycling Championships held in Richmond, Va., in fall of 2015.
Dominion was a principal sponsor in bringing the world to Richmond.

DVP: Over the next five years we plan to invest more than $1 billion
per year in electric distribution and transmission growth projects.
The spending comprises underground distribution lines on the most
outage-prone circuits, substation physical security and reliability
upgrade projects.
Page 19:
Dominion Energy: Our gas infrastructure buildout plan is expected
to increase natural gas transportation and reliability capacity by
3.6 billion cubic feet per day, helping to serve electric and gas utilities
seeking access to more gas supplies. These projects represent a total
investment of more than $6 billion from Dominion and its partners.
Dominion Generation: The Surry Power Station annually produces about
20 percent of electricity generated in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The
reactors there are two of the top-rated nuclear reactors in the U.S.
