Summary

Dominion Energy, Inc. (D), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Virginia Electric and Power Company, announced the execution of two new credit agreements on September 24, 2010, effectively replacing an existing facility. The primary agreement is a $3 billion, three-year revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and several other major financial institutions serving as syndication agents and joint lead arrangers. This new facility supersedes a previous $3 billion, five-year agreement dated February 28, 2006, under which no loans were outstanding. Additionally, Dominion entered into a separate $500 million, three-year revolving credit agreement with Keybank National Association as Administrative Agent. This filing demonstrates Dominion's proactive approach to managing its liquidity and financing arrangements, ensuring access to significant capital through established banking relationships.
