Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K Current Report from Dominion Energy, Inc. covers the event date of September 30, 2024. The filing details the completion of a strategic asset disposition previously announced in September 2023.
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
The report focuses on the financial terms of the sale of Dominion Energy's membership interests in Fall North Carolina Holdco LLC (the holding company for Public Service Company of North Carolina, or PSNC) to Enbridge Parrot Holdings, LLC.
- Cash Proceeds: Approximately $2.0 billion received at closing.
- Debt Assumption: Enbridge assumed approximately $1.2 billion of indebtedness.
- Total Consideration: Approximately $3.2 billion (cash plus debt assumption).
- Accounting Treatment: The disposed business was previously reported as discontinued operations in the 2023 Form 10-K; therefore, pro forma financial information is not required in this filing.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the finalization of the divestiture of PSNC, a public utility engaged in natural gas distribution in North Carolina. This transaction removes the PSNC business segment from Dominion Energy's consolidated operations effective September 30, 2024.

This filing does not contain updated financial guidance, forward-looking outlook statements, or new risk disclosures specific to the post-transaction period. The filing references the original Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 5, 2023, for a full description of the transaction terms.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the impact of the $2.0 billion cash inflow on Dominion Energy's liquidity and debt reduction strategy.
