17. Short-Term Debt and Credit Agreements

The Companies use short-term debt to fund working capital requirements and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the year, depending upon the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. In addition, Dominion Energy utilizes cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements. Collateral requirements are impacted by capital

projects, commodity prices, hedging levels, Dominion Energy’s credit ratings and the credit quality of its counterparties.

Dominion Energy

Dominion Energy’s short-term financing is primarily supported by its joint revolving credit facility. In April 2025, Dominion Energy amended its joint revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility limit from $6.0 billion to $7.0 billion, increase the letters of credit support from $2.0 billion to $3.0 billion and extend the maturity date from June 2026 to April 2030. The key financial covenants in the facility are unchanged except for a technical clarification to the calculation of equity utilized in the total debt to total capital ratio.

Dominion Energy’s commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding, as well as its capacity available under the credit facility discussed above and its 364-day revolving credit agreement, were as follows:

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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $422 million and $439 million, respectively, presented within short-term debt with weighted-average interest rates of 3.75% and 4.50%, respectively. The proceeds are used for general corporate purposes and to repay debt.

In February 2026, Dominion Energy entered into an approximately $1.3 billion 364-day term loan facility which bears

interest at a variable rate, contains a maximum allowed total debt to total capital ratio consistent with such allowed ratio under Dominion Energy’s joint revolving credit facility and will mature in February 2027, with the proceeds to be used to repay existing debt and for other general corporate purposes. In February 2026, Dominion Energy borrowed an initial $500 million with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes. Subsequently in February 2026, Dominion Energy provided notice to borrow an additional $300 million under this facility.

In January 2023, Dominion Energy entered into a $2.5 billion 364-day term loan facility which bore interest at a variable rate and was scheduled to mature in January 2024 with the proceeds to be used to repay existing long-term debt and short-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes. Concurrently, Dominion Energy borrowed an initial $1.0 billion with the proceeds used to repay long-term debt. In February and March 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $500 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, with the proceeds used for general corporate purposes and to repay long-term debt. In January 2024, the facility was amended to mature July 2024. The amended agreement contained certain mandatory early repayment provisions, including that any after-tax proceeds in connection with the East Ohio, Questar Gas and PSNC Transactions be applied to any outstanding borrowings under the facility. In March 2024, Dominion Energy repaid the full $2.5 billion outstanding using after-tax proceeds received in connection with the East Ohio Transaction. The maximum allowed total debt to total capital ratio under the facility was consistent with such allowed ratio under Dominion Energy’s joint revolving credit facility.

Subsequently in July 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed an initial $750 million in the aggregate under these facilities with the proceeds used to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. Dominion Energy was permitted to make up to three additional borrowings under each agreement through November 2023, at which point any unused capacity would cease to be available to Dominion Energy. The agreements contained certain mandatory early repayment provisions, including that any after-tax proceeds in connection with a sale of Dominion Energy’s noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, following the repayment of DECP Holding’s term loan secured by its noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, be applied to any outstanding borrowings under the facilities. In September 2023, Dominion Energy repaid the $750 million borrowing with after-tax proceeds from the sale of Dominion Energy’s noncontrolling interest in Cove Point, as discussed in Note 9. Subsequently in September 2023, Dominion Energy borrowed $225 million in the aggregate under these facilities with the proceeds used to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. In October 2023, Dominion Energy repaid the $225 million borrowing and terminated the facilities along with any remaining unused commitments.

The full amount of the facility is available to Virginia Power, less any amounts outstanding to co-borrowers Dominion Energy and DESC.

At December 31, 2025, the sub-limit for Virginia Power was $4.0 billion.

The credit facility can be used to support bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper, as well as to support up to $3.0 billion (or the sub-limit, whichever is less) of letters of credit, for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
