Item 2.02     Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

At March 31, 2020, based on economic factors and other factors, including but not limited to market power prices and the Virginia Clean Economy Act passed by the Virginia General Assembly in March 2020 and awaiting the Governor’s signature, Virginia Electric and Power Company (Virginia Power) anticipates recording an abandonment charge under generally accepted accounting principles in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the probable early retirement of certain Virginia Power coal- and oil-fired generating units. While management is still determining the abandonment charge, such non-cash charge is expected to be between $500 million and $650 million after-tax.
