Dominion Energy Virginia 2025 biennial review
The SCC authorized base-rate increases of $565.7 million for 2026 and a further $209.9 million for 2027, below Dominion's requests of $822 million and $345 million. The order also created the GS-5 class for customers with demand of at least 25 MW.
Why it matters
The order provides two years of base-rate visibility, authorizes a 9.8% ROE, and moves very large customers into a separate rate class with minimum-demand protections.
