2 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS THE COMPANY Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion or the Company) is a fully integrated gas and electric holding company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Our principal assets are located in the Northeast quadrant of the United States, which is an area we call MAIN to Maine. In the power industry, "MAIN" means the Middle American Interconnected Network, which comprises the states of Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. The MAIN to Maine region is home to approximately 40% of the nation's demand for energy. It also has some of the nation's highest energy prices and, as a result, is rapidly moving toward industry deregulation and restructuring. Our acquisition of Consolidated Natural Gas Company (CNG), completed in early 2000, substantially increased our concentration of assets and customers in this region. As a result of our acquisition of CNG, Dominion is a registered public utility holding company subject to the provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the 1935 Act). CNG also continues to be a registered holding company under the 1935 Act. With the acquisition of CNG, Dominion began managing its business through three principal segments that integrate its electric and gas services, streamline operations, and position Dominion for long-term growth in the competitive marketplace. . Dominion Energy--Dominion Energy manages our 19,000-megawatt generation portfolio, our 7,600 miles of gas transmission pipeline, and a 959 billion cubic foot natural gas storage network. It also guides our generation growth strategy and our commodity trading, marketing, and risk management activities. We currently operate generation facilities in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Illinois. Dominion Energy will also include the 1,954-megawatt Millstone Nuclear Power Station, which we expect to acquire this year. . Dominion Delivery--Dominion Delivery manages our local electric and gas distribution systems serving nearly 3.8 million customers, our 6,000 miles of electric transmission lines and our customer service operations. We currently operate transmission and distribution systems in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Dominion Delivery also includes our interest in Dominion Telecom with its 3,600 route-mile fiber optic network and related telecommunications and advanced data services. . Dominion Exploration & Production--Dominion Exploration & Production (Dominion E&P) manages our onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration and production activities. With approximately 2.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent reserves and an annual production capacity exceeding 300 billion cubic feet, Dominion E&P is one of the nation's largest independent oil and gas operators. We operate on the outer continental shelf and deepwater areas of the Gulf of Mexico, western Canada, the Appalachian Basin and other selected regions in the continental United States. While Dominion manages its daily operations as described above, its assets remain wholly-owned by its legal subsidiaries, which are described below in Legal Structure and Principal Legal Subsidiaries. For additional financial information on business segments, see Note 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 68 of the 2000 Annual Report. Legal Structure and Principal Legal Subsidiaries Dominion was incorporated in 1983 as a Virginia corporation. Dominion and its subsidiaries had approximately 15,600 full-time employees as of December 31, 2000. Our principal office is located at 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, telephone (804) 819-2000. Dominion's principal direct legal 3 subsidiaries are Virginia Electric and Power Company (Virginia Power) a regulated public utility engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina and Consolidated Natural Gas Company (CNG), a producer, transporter, distributor and retail marketer of natural gas, serving customers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, New York and other cities focused in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. Our other major subsidiaries are Dominion Energy, Inc. (DEI), Dominion's independent power and natural gas subsidiary, and Dominion Capital, Inc. (DCI), our diversified financial services company. Our legal structure is not currently the same as the operating segments we use to manage our business. The functional separation of Virginia Power's regulated and unregulated businesses described elsewhere in this report may, with regulatory approval, provide us with the opportunity to realign our legal structure with our operating segments. Organizational Changes On January 28, 2000, Dominion completed its acquisition of CNG. The combination with CNG, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, creates a fully integrated electric and natural gas utility in the Midwest, Northeast and Mid- Atlantic regions of the United States. As a result of the acquisition of CNG, we became a registered public utility holding company under the 1935 Act. The 1935 Act imposes a number of restrictions on the operations of registered holding company systems, one of which limits our ability to engage in activities unrelated to our utility operations or other energy related businesses. As part of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) order approving the acquisition under the 1935 Act, Dominion must divest itself of DCI within three years. During the approval process, Dominion and CNG also agreed to divest Virginia Natural Gas, Inc. (VNG), CNG's gas distribution subsidiary located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. In October 2000, Dominion completed the sale of VNG to AGL Resources Inc. As we build our geographically focused business, we are also divesting our assets outside of the targeted MAIN to Maine region. We have divested all of our Latin American assets, including the Argentine assets of CNG. We completed our exit from the United Kingdom during 2000 with the sale of our 80% interest in the Corby Power Station, and we are actively exploring the sale of CNG's remaining international operations in Australia. As part of the acquisition of CNG, Dominion created a subsidiary service company, Dominion Resources Services, Inc. (Services), which provides certain services to Dominion's operating subsidiaries. During 2000, CNG also had a service company, CNG Services, Inc. Effective January 1, 2001, the two service companies were combined into one service company. For additional information regarding the acquisition of CNG and our exit strategy for certain DCI businesses, see Notes 5 and 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 46 through 49 of the 2000 Annual Report. COMPETITION Our Dominion Energy and Dominion Delivery segments are each affected by the increasing momentum towards deregulation in both the electric and gas industries. In addition to the restructuring of the gas industry, the emerging unbundling of services provided by electric utilities is leading toward the convergence of the two industries to create one overall, highly competitive marketplace for a customer's total energy needs. Electric Industry The structure of the electric industry in our service territory and throughout the United States has been relatively stable for many years. Recently, however, there have been both federal and state developments in 4 restructuring regulation and increasing competition. Electric utilities are required to open up their transmission systems for non-discriminatory use by wholesale competitors. In addition, non-utility power marketers now compete with electric utilities in the wholesale generation market. Although progress varies, pro-competition electric legislation is under consideration in many states. In Virginia, legislation was passed in 1999 which will phase in customer choice between 2002 and 2004. In Ohio, legislation was enacted in 1999 which allowed consumers to choose their electric supplier beginning January 1, 2001. In Pennsylvania, all consumers may now choose their electric supplier. Regulators and legislators in West Virginia and North Carolina are also debating issues related to electric industry restructuring. Because competition has not yet been fully phased-in and electric services have not been unbundled in Virginia, competition issues affect both our Dominion Energy and Dominion Delivery segments as a whole and do not lend themselves to discussion on a segment basis. The following discussion relates to competition as it affects our electricity operations in Virginia and North Carolina. Historically, our electric utility subsidiary has had the exclusive right to provide electricity at retail within its assigned service territories in Virginia and North Carolina. As a result, our Company's exposure to competition for retail electric sales was limited to the extent our customers moved into another utility service territory, used other energy sources instead of electric power, or generated their own electricity. However, during 1998 and 1999, legislation was passed in Virginia that established plans to restructure Virginia's electric utility industry and provided for a phased-in transition to a fully competitive retail electric market during the period January 1, 2002 through January 1, 2004 (deregulation legislation). Complying with this deregulation legislation, we established a retail choice pilot program that is currently in place for sales of electricity within our Virginia service territory. We continue to participate actively in both the legislative and regulatory processes relating to industry restructuring in an effort to ensure an orderly transition from a regulated environment. We have also responded to the trends toward competition by cutting costs, re-engineering our core business processes, and pursuing innovative approaches to serving traditional and future markets. In addition, we are developing certain "non-traditional" products and services in an effort to provide growth in future earnings. See Deregulation Legislation--Electric Industry under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) on page 35 of the 2000 Annual Report. Gas Industry Dominion Delivery Dominion has taken steps to offer choices to its gas customers in Pennsylvania. As early as 1984, large industrial customers in Pennsylvania began to buy natural gas supplies from third parties, rather than directly from local utilities; the local distributors transported these third-party gas supplies to the industrial facilities. Since that time, nearly all of our Pennsylvania industrial and large commercial customers have changed from being utility sales customers to transportation services customers, buying the natural gas commodity from unregulated suppliers and transporting it on our gas delivery network. In 1997, Dominion's Pennsylvania gas utility subsidiary voluntarily launched an Energy Choice program for all of its retail consumers in Pennsylvania--whether industrial, commercial, or residential. Subsequently, in 1999, Pennsylvania enacted legislation to mandate supplier choice for residential and small commercial customers. At December 31, 2000, approximately 106,000 customers had opted for Energy Choice in our Company's Pennsylvania service area. Large industrial customers in Ohio began to source their own natural gas supplies in the mid-1980's, as interstate pipeline transportation services became more widely available. However, to date, Ohio has not enacted legislation to require supplier choice for residential and commercial natural gas consumers. Dominion has made significant progress in offering Energy Choice to customers on its own initiative, in cooperation with The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. In 1997, Dominion's Ohio gas utility subsidiary launched a pilot 5 program, designed to make gas transportation service available to residential and small commercial customers, and to the suppliers that market gas to these customer classes. In 2000, the Energy Choice program was expanded to all 1.2 million customers in Dominion's Ohio service area. At December 31, 2000, approximately 175,000 of Dominion's Ohio customers were participating in this open-access program. At this time, West Virginia has not enacted legislation to require customer choice in its retail natural gas markets. In this smaller, more rural market area, Dominion has not voluntarily initiated an Energy Choice program. However, the West Virginia Public Service Commission recently issued regulations to govern pooling services; these services are one of the tools that natural gas suppliers may utilize to provide retail customer choice in the future. Dominion Energy Dominion has taken advantage of selected market expansion opportunities, concentrating its efforts primarily in the Northeast and along the East Coast. Dominion's large underground storage capacity and the location of its gridlike pipeline system as a link between the country's major gas pipelines and large markets on the East Coast have been key factors in the success of these expansion efforts. The Company's pipelines are part of an interconnected gas transmission system which will continue to enable retail end users to take advantage of the accessibility of supplies nationwide as gas utilities unbundle services at the retail level. Dominion competes with domestic as well as Canadian pipeline companies and gas marketers seeking to provide or arrange transportation, storage and other services for customers. Also, certain end users have the ability to switch to fuel oil or coal if desired. Although competition is based primarily on price, the array of services that can be provided to customers is also an important factor. The combination of capacity rights held on certain longline pipelines, a large storage capability and the availability of numerous receipt and delivery points along its own pipeline system enables Dominion to tailor its services to meet the individual needs of customers. Dominion Exploration & Production Exploration and production operations are conducted by the Company in several major gas and oil producing basins in the United States, both onshore and offshore, and Canada. In this highly competitive business, the Company competes with a large number of entities ranging in size from large international oil companies with extensive financial resources to small, cash flow driven independent producers. Dominion faces significant competition in the bidding for federal offshore leases and in obtaining leases and drilling rights for onshore properties. Since Dominion is the operator of a number of properties, it also faces competition in securing drilling equipment and supplies for exploration and development. From the production perspective, the marketing of gas and oil is highly competitive with price being the most significant factor. Gas producers throughout the industry, including Dominion, face a diverse and active market with purchasers seeking to balance the advantage of flexible spot market supplies with the security of longer-term contracts. The growth of gas and energy marketing firms has added to the competition for Dominion. When the economics warrant, the Company attempts to sell its gas production under long- term contracts to customers such as electric power generators and others that require a secure source of supply. However, these arrangements represent only a portion of the Company's gas production. Further, the deliverability of gas produced is influenced by competition for downstream pipeline transportation capacity. The Company continues to develop marketing strategies, contracts and arrangements to address customer needs for intermediate and long-term gas supplies as well as swing, peaking and other energy services. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, Dominion participates in price risk management activities to manage exposure to price risk in connection with the production and sale of natural gas and oil. 6 REGULATION General Many aspects of our business are presently subject to regulation by the SEC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (DOE), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Army Corps of Engineers, and other federal, state and local authorities. The Virginia State Corporation Commission (Virginia Commission) and the North Carolina Utilities Commission (the North Carolina Commission) regulate our bundled rates for retail electric sales in those states and FERC approves our rates for electric sales to wholesale customers. While our electric utility subsidiary holds certificates of public convenience and necessity authorizing it to construct and operate its electric facilities now in operation and to sell electricity to customers, it may not construct or incur financial commitments for construction of any substantial generating facilities or large capacity transmission lines without the prior approval of various state and federal government agencies. As discussed above in COMPETITION--Electric Industry, deregulation legislation has been enacted in Virginia. Under the deregulation legislation, Dominion's electric utility subsidiary is required to join or establish a regional transmission entity, establish a retail access pilot program and submit to the Virginia Commission a plan for separating its generation and and delivery operations. Certain subsidiaries of CNG are subject to the Natural Gas Act of 1938, as amended. Our interstate gas transportation and storage activities are regulated under such Act and are conducted in accordance with certificates, tariffs and service agreements on file with FERC. Other CNG subsidiaries are subject to various provisions of the five statutes that are referred to as the National Energy Act of 1978. One of these statutes, the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, requires utilities to offer home energy audits and other assistance to residential customers. We are also subject to the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, which authorizes the establishment and enforcement of federal pipeline safety standards and places jurisdiction of these standards with the Department of Transportation. Intrastate facilities remain within the safety jurisdiction of the state regulatory agencies, presuming compliance by such agencies with certain prerequisites contained in such Act. Our gas distribution business subsidiaries are subject to regulation of rates and other aspects of their businesses by the states in which they operate -- Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. In 1999, Pennsylvania enacted legislation which mandates supplier choice for residential and small commercial customers. For additional information on deregulation in the gas industry, see COMPETITION--Gas Industry. The following sections discuss various regulatory proceedings in which the Company is or has recently been involved. See COMPETITION and RATES for information on additional proceedings. Separation of Electric Generation and Delivery Operations in Virginia In October 2000, the Virginia Commission issued its Final Order outlining regulations governing the functional separation of incumbent electric utilities' generation, transmission and distribution services. The Order adopted rules for how Virginia's existing monopoly electric utilities should organize themselves to participate in the competitive energy supply market, which begins a phase-in in 2002. The rules govern how utilities can divide themselves so that their generating plants can participate in the competitive market without raising anti-competitive and other concerns. State law requires the utilities to separate their various functions by January 1, 2002. In November 2000, as required by electric deregulation legislation, the Company's electric subsidiary filed with the Virginia Commission an application for approval of a functional separation plan for its regulated utility operations. The plan provides in part for the following: . transfer of generation assets into a separate legal entity, Dominion Generation Corporation; 7 . transfer of rights and obligations under non-utility power purchase contracts to Dominion Generation Corporation; . retention of transmission and distribution assets and operations by Virginia Power, to be known as Dominion Virginia Power; . Dominion Generation Corporation to supply Dominion Virginia Power with electric power during and after the capped rate period under a power purchase agreement to ensure that adequate capacity and energy is available to meet Dominion Virginia Power's capped rate service and default supply obligations; . planned allocation between Dominion Virginia Power and Dominion Generation Corporation of payment responsibility for existing Virginia Power debt with the objective that ratings on outstanding debt will remain unchanged. For additional details on functional separation, see Electric and Gas Industry Issues--Separation of Electric Generation and Delivery Operations in Virginia under MD&A on page 36 of the 2000 Annual Report. Regional Transmission Entities/Regional Transmission Organizations Deregulation legislation requires that Virginia's incumbent electric utilities join or establish regional transmission entities (RTE) by January 1, 2001, and seek authorization from the Virginia Commission to transfer ownership or operational control of their transmission facilities to such RTEs. In July 2000, the Virginia Commission issued regulations governing the transfer of ownership or control of electric transmission assets to RTE. In October 2000, Dominion's electric utility subsidiary filed an application with the Virginia Commission seeking authorization to transfer control of its electric transmission facilities to the Alliance Regional Transmission Organization (Alliance RTO). As discussed below, the formation of the Alliance RTO began in connection with FERC initiatives, and Dominion expects the RTO to satisfy the requirements to establish the RTE under Virginia legislation. In February 2000, FERC finalized regulations (Order No. 2000) to advance the formation of Regional Transmission Organizations (RTO). The regulations require that each public utility that owns, operates, or controls facilities for the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce make certain filings with respect to forming and participating in an RTO. Dominion, together with American Electric Power (AEP), Consumers Energy Company, The Detroit Edison Company and First Energy Corporation, on behalf of themselves and their public utility operating company subsidiaries (Alliance Companies), filed with FERC applications under Sections 205 and 203 of the Federal Power Act for approval of the proposed Alliance RTO. FERC approved most aspects of the RTO in January 2001. Dayton Power and Light Company, Commonwealth Edison Company, Commonwealth Edison Company of Indiana, Illinois Power Company, Ameren UE and Ameren CIPS have subsequently requested authority to join the Alliance RTO. Retail Access Pilot Program In 1998, the Virginia Commission issued an Order instructing the Company's electric utility subsidiary and American Electric Power-Virginia, a subsidiary of AEP, as Virginia's two largest investor-owned utilities, each to design and file a retail access pilot program relating to electric distribution in Virginia. In 2000, the Virginia Commission approved our retail access pilot program and issued a final order on the interim rules governing pilot programs. Our pilot program, Project Current Choice, began in September 2000. As of the end of December 2000, over 81,000 customers have volunteered for the pilot program and over 20,000 have switched to a competitive service provider. In January 2001, the Virginia Commission established a proceeding to determine the permanent rules for retail access. Wholesale Markets Dominion's electric utility subsidiary sells electricity in the wholesale market under its market based-sales tariff authorized by FERC but has agreed not to make wholesale power sales under this tariff to loads located 8 within its service territory. During 2000, our electric utility subsidiary filed applications with FERC to make sales under its market-based sales tariff to loads within its service territory participating in its retail access pilot program and to amend its open access transmission tariff to accommodate the Virginia retail access pilot program. FERC has accepted both applications. Until authorization is granted by FERC, any sales of wholesale power to loads located within our electric service territory, other than sales to loads participating in the electric retail access pilot program, are to be at cost- based rates accepted by FERC. Dominion's sales of oil and natural gas in wholesale markets are not regulated by FERC. The deregulation of gas sales began through a multi-year schedule established under the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA) of 1978 and was completed under the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol Act of 1989. Environmental Matters Each segment of our business faces substantial regulation and compliance costs with respect to environmental matters. For discussion of significant aspects of these matters, including current and planned capital expenditures relating to environmental compliance, see Electric and Gas Industry Issues-- Environmental Matters, Environmental Protection and Monitoring Expenditures, Clean Air Act Compliance, and Global Climate Change under MD&A on pages 37 and 38 of the 2000 Annual Report. From time to time we may be identified as a potentially responsible party with respect to a superfund site. The EPA (or a state) can either (a) allow such a party to conduct and pay for a remedial investigation, feasibility study and remedial action or (b) conduct the remedial investigation and action and then seek reimbursement from the parties. Each party can be held jointly, severally and strictly liable for all costs, but the parties can then bring contribution actions against each other and seek reimbursement from their insurance companies. As a result, we may be responsible for the costs of remedial investigation and actions under the Superfund Act or other laws or regulations regarding the remediation of waste. We do not believe that any currently identified sites will result in significant liabilities. The Company has determined that it is associated with 20 former manufactured gas plant sites, eight of which are currently owned by subsidiaries. Studies conducted by other utilities at their former manufactured gas plants have indicated that their sites contain coal tar and other potentially harmful materials. None of the 20 former sites with which the Company is associated is under investigation by any state or federal environmental agency, and no investigation or action is currently anticipated. At this time it is not known if, or to what degree, these sites may contain environmental contamination. Therefore, the Company is not able to estimate the cost, if any, that may be required for the possible remediation of these sites. In accordance with applicable Federal and state environmental laws, we have applied for or obtained the necessary environmental permits material to the operation of our electric generating stations. Many of these permits are subject to re-issuance and continuing review. For additional information regarding environmental matters, see Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS on page 20 and Electric and Gas Industry Issues-- Environmental Matters under MD&A on page 37 and Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 60 of the 2000 Annual Report. Nuclear Generation All aspects of the operation and maintenance of our nuclear power stations, which are a part of our Dominion Energy segment, are regulated by the NRC. Operating licenses issued by the NRC are subject to revocation, suspension or modification, and operation of a nuclear unit may be suspended if the NRC determines that the public interest, health or safety so requires. From time to time, the NRC adopts new requirements for the operation and maintenance of nuclear facilities. In many cases, these new regulations require changes in the design, operation and maintenance of existing nuclear facilities. If the NRC adopts such requirements in the future, it could result in substantial increases in the cost of operating and maintaining our nuclear generating units. 9 One of the issues associated with the operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities is disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 required the federal government to make available by January 31, 1998 a permanent repository for high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. Despite ongoing proceedings and investigations, the federal government has not yet made such a repository available. Most recently, we joined approximately 17 other electric utilities in a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, challenging the DOE's action in allowing PECO Energy Company (PECO) to take credits against payments PECO would otherwise make into the Nuclear Waste Fund (NWF). The credits are part of a DOE settlement agreement with PECO for potential claims arising out of DOE's breach of its 1998 obligation to begin taking SNF for storage. The petition asserts that DOE violated the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) by improperly depleting the NWF and releasing PECO from a portion of its NWF obligation. The petition seeks a declaration that credits against NWF payments to offset on-site SNF storage costs violate the NWPA, an injunction against DOE implementing the credit and fee reduction provisions of the settlement agreement, and an injunction against DOE entering into similar agreements. We initiated the license renewal process for our nuclear power plants in mid-1999 with expected submission to the NRC in 2001. If successful, NRC renewed licenses will extend the operation of our four nuclear units to 2032, 2033, 2038 and 2040 for Surry Units 1 and 2 and North Anna Units 1 and 2, respectively. When our nuclear units cease to operate, we will be obligated to decontaminate the facilities. This process is referred to as decommissioning, and we are required by the NRC to prepare for it financially. For information on our compliance with the NRC financial assurance requirements, see Note 14 to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 53 of the 2000 Annual Report. RATES Electric The majority of our electric revenue is provided through bundled rate tariffs. In 2000, electric service sales by our electric utility subsidiary included 73 million megawatt-hours of retail sales and 4.3 million megawatt- hours of sales to wholesale requirements contract customers and were composed of the following:
2000 -------------------------------- Percent of Electric Service -------------------------------- Revenues Kwh Sales ------------- -------------- Virginia retail: Non-Governmental customers........... Virginia Commission 81% 77% Governmental customers............... Negotiated Agreements 10 13 North Carolina retail................... North Carolina Commission 5 4 Wholesale*.............................. FERC 4 6 ------------- ------------- 100% 100% ============= =============
-------- * Excludes power marketing sales which are also subject to FERC regulation. Substantially all of the electric service sales made by our electric utility subsidiary are currently subject to recovery of changes in fuel costs through fuel adjustment factors. On November 27, 2000, an application was filed with the Virginia Commission to propose an alternative fuel recovery method for the period January 1, 2002--July 1, 2007. The proposed method would utilize a portfolio of fuel indices, rather than actual incurred fuel costs, in the development of the Virginia fuel factor. 10 Recent Virginia proceedings related to our rates include the following: The Virginia base (non-fuel) rates of our electric utility subsidiary are currently capped until July 1, 2007, according to legislation passed in the 1998 session of the General Assembly. In December 2000, our electric utility subsidiary filed an application with the Virginia Commission for approval of unbundled tariffs that reflect distribution rates and wires charges for the recovery of stranded costs. These proposed rates are requested to become effective for usage on and after January 1, 2002. Our electric utility subsidiary also filed an application with the Virginia Commission to increase its Virginia fuel factor from 1.339c per kWh to 1.613c per kWh or an estimated annual increase of $158 million. These new rates went into effect on January 1, 2001, on an interim basis, for usage on and after January 1, 2001 pending a hearing scheduled for March 1, 2001. In July 2000, the Virginia Commission issued an order to modify our cogeneration and small power production rates under Schedule 19. The order sustained our proposed method to determine avoided costs, agreed with our position that off system sales should be excluded from the calculation of avoided costs, and that the cogeneration rate should be effective through 2001. In September 2000, our electric utility subsidiary filed a revised Schedule 19 as required by the Virginia Commission's July 2000 Order, and in November 2000 the Virginia Commission accepted for filing our revised Schedule 19 Tariff. In connection with the approval by the North Carolina Commission of its acquisition of CNG, the Company agreed not to request an increase in North Carolina retail electric base rates for both the Dominion Energy and Dominion Delivery segments until after December 31, 2005, except for certain events that would have a significant financial impact on the Company. Fuel rates are still subject to change under the annual fuel cost adjustment proceedings. Gas Dominion's regulated gas subsidiaries continue to seek general rate increases with regard to their regulated gathering, transmission, storage and gas distribution services. Such rate changes are requested on a timely basis to recover increased operating costs and to ensure that rates of return are compatible with the cost of raising capital. In addition to general rate increases, certain of our gas distribution subsidiaries make separate filings with their respective regulatory commissions to reflect changes in the costs of purchased gas.

(Dominion Transmission), an interstate gas transmission subsidiary, has pending rate cases before FERC, which are intended: (1) to unbundle gathering and products extraction rates from those for interstate transportation, and (2) to recover the costs of certain gas used as fuel for system operations. Otherwise, Dominion's regulated gas subsidiaries filed no new general rate cases during 2000, nor were there any outstanding cases requiring settlement. In March 2001, Dominion's West Virginia gas utility subsidiary filed a rate case with the Public Service Commission of West Virginia with a proposed effective date for new rates as of January 1, 2002. No procedural schedule has been established at this time. The proposed new rates are to provide for the increased cost of gas supplies as well as increased operating costs. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS See Note 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 68 of the 2000 Annual Report. SOURCES OF ENERGY Sources of Energy--Electricity Dominion Energy provides electricity for use on a wholesale and a retail level. We can supply electricity demand either through generation from our generation facilities in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Illinois or through power purchase contracts when needed.

-------- (a) Includes an undivided interest of 11.6 percent (213.7 Mw) owned by Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC). (b) Includes an undivided interest of 50 percent (441 Mw) owned by ODEC. (c) Includes the four new Remington combustion turbine units that began operations in July 2000. (d) Reflects Virginia Power's 60 percent undivided ownership interest in the 2,100 Mw station. A 40 percent undivided interest in the facility is owned by Allegheny Generating Company, a subsidiary of Allegheny Energy, Inc. (AE). (e) In 2000, our four nuclear units achieved a combined capacity factor of 95.1 percent. 12 The Company's highest one-hour integrated service area summer and all- time peak demand was 16,216 Mw on July 6, 1999, and an all-time high one-hour integrated winter peak demand of 15,072 Mw was reached on January 28, 2000. Power Purchase Contracts Dominion Energy purchases electricity under contracts with other suppliers to meet a portion of our own system capacity requirements. From the mid-1980's until the start of the 1990's, we entered into a number of long-term purchase contracts for electricity now associated with our Dominion Energy segment. At the end of 1999, 900 Mw of these purchases from other utilities ended, and by the end of the first quarter of 2000, an additional 200 Mw of diversity exchange transactions was suspended. As of December 31, 2000, we have 54 power purchase contracts with a combined dependable summer capacity of 3,973 Mw. For information on the financial obligations under these agreements, see Note 22 to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 60 of 2000 Annual Report. The Company has reached an agreement, pending regulatory approvals, to terminate three long-term power purchase agreements. Dominion expects the transaction to be completed in the first quarter of 2001, resulting in a one- time, non-operating charge of approximately $135 million, after taxes. The transaction is part of an ongoing program which seeks to achieve competitive cost structures at its power generating business. Fuel for Electric Generation We use a variety of fuels to power our electric generation. These include a mix of both nuclear fuel and fossil fuel as described further below. Nuclear Fuel Supply We utilize both long-term contracts and spot purchases to support our needs for nuclear fuel. We continually evaluate worldwide market conditions in order to ensure a range of supply options at reasonable prices. Current agreements, inventories and spot market availability are expected to support our current and planned fuel supply needs for fuel cycles into the early 2000's. Beyond that period, we expect to purchase additional fuel as required to ensure optimum cost and inventory levels. In March 1999, the Company, along with a consortium of companies, was awarded a contract by DOE for mixed oxide (MOx) fuel fabrication and reactor irradiation services. We have determined that MOx fuel can be used safely and can potentially lower fuel costs. Furthermore, this program will improve international security by reducing plutonium stockpiles. Certain plant and site/facility modifications must be implemented to receive and utilize MOx fuel. DOE will reimburse the Company for all plant and site/facility modifications as well as other MOx fuel implementation costs. We expect to provide irradiation services beginning September 2007. The DOE did not begin the acceptance of SNF in 1998 as specified in our contract with the DOE. However, on-site SNF pool and dry container storage at the Surry and North Anna Power Stations are expected to be adequate for our needs until the DOE begins accepting SNF. See REGULATION--Nuclear Generation for additional information regarding SNF. Fossil Fuel Supply The fuel mix utilized by Dominion Energy's fossil operations consists of coal, oil, and natural gas. During 2000, we burned approximately 14 million tons of coal. We utilize both long-term contracts and spot purchases 13 to support our coal needs. We presently anticipate sufficient supplies of coal will continue to be available at reasonable prices but market prices and price volatility will be higher. Coal producers, for the past two decades, have over- supplied the market. As a result, market prices in the past have remained relatively stable, even during periods when utility demand has spiked. Coal markets have become more supply-demand balanced which will likely lead to more price volatility in the future. Oil and oil-fired generation are used primarily to support heavier system generation loads during very cold or very hot weather periods. System requirements are purchased under both short-term spot agreements and longer term contracts. A sufficient supply of oil is expected to be available over the next five to ten year period. Dominion Energy uses natural gas as needed throughout the year for our jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional facilities. The Company's gas supply is obtained from various sources including: purchases from major and independent producers in the Southwest and Midwest regions; purchases from local producers in the Appalachian area; purchases from gas marketers; production from Company- owned wells in the Appalachian area, the Southwest, Midwest and offshore; and withdrawals from the Company's and third party underground storage fields. Dominion has the capability to buy and store natural gas at summer prices, which will then be consumed at the facilities during the winter. Firm natural gas transportation contracts (capacity) exist that allow delivery of gas to our facilities. Dominion has positioned its capacity portfolio in such a way that allows flexible natural gas deliveries to our gas turbine fleet, while minimizing costs. With natural gas being the preferred source of new electric generation, competition for existing gas capacity has increased. In order to ensure reliable delivery of natural gas, Dominion has acquired more natural gas capacity and has a rolling seven-year capacity plan in place that will protect its fleet from any perceived or real capacity shortage in the market. Sources of Energy--Gas Gas Supply Dominion Energy is also engaged in the sale and storage of natural gas through its operating subsidiaries. Sources of gas supplies for sale to customers are the same as those described in Fossil Fuel Supply above. The Company has continued to purchase volumes from the array of accessible producing basins using its firm capacity resources. These purchased supplies include Appalachian resources in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and production from the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and offshore areas. Upon FERC's restructuring of the interstate pipeline business in 1992-93, pipelines no longer sell the delivered natural gas commodity; rather, customers provide their own gas supply for wholesale storage and/or delivery by the pipelines. Much of the supply is purchased by local distributors, energy marketing companies or end users, under seasonal or spot purchase agreements. While the average term of the Company's gas purchase agreements has declined, the reliability of supply has been adequate. The availability of supplies and heightened competition has forged a viable market, which has proven capable of satisfying the firm delivery requirement for supplies to the Company's markets in a highly reliable manner. Purchased gas volumes were 422 billion cubic feet (Bcf) or about 60% of the total 2000 supply. Spot market and short-term purchases were 398 Bcf, or about 56% of the total 2000 supply. Considering the Company's large storage capacity, the volumes obtainable under its firm interstate pipeline capacity and gas supply contracts, Company- owned gas reserves, and assuming the future availability of spot market gas, the Company believes that supplies will be available to meet sales requirements for at least the next several years. Gas Storage--Transmission The Company's underground storage facilities play an important part in balancing gas supply with sales demand and are essential to servicing the Company's large volume of space-heating business. In addition, 14 storage capacity is an important element in the effective management of both gas supply and pipeline transport capacity. The Company operates 26 underground gas storage fields located in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York. The Company owns 20 of these storage fields and has joint-ownership with other companies in six of the fields. The total designed capacity of the storage fields, including native gas, is approximately 959 Bcf. The Company's share of the total capacity is about 717 Bcf. About one-half of the total capacity is base gas which remains in the reservoirs at all times to provide the primary pressure which enables the balance of the gas to be withdrawn as needed. Dominion Transmission operates 756 Bcf of the total designed storage capacity and owns 514 Bcf of the Company's capacity. Dominion Transmission utilizes a large portion of its turnable capacity to provide approximately 275 Bcf of gas storage service for others. This service is provided principally to local distributors, end users, and other customers serving the Northeast. Two of Dominion's gas distribution subsidiaries, Dominion East Ohio and Dominion Peoples, own and operate the remaining 203 Bcf of storage capacity. In addition to owning their own storage, these companies, as well as several of the other subsidiaries, have access to a portion of the storage capacity operated by Dominion Transmission. The distribution subsidiaries also have capacity available in storage fields owned by others. The Company controls other acreage in the Appalachian area suitable for the development of additional storage facilities which would enable further expansion of capacity to meet possible future storage needs. FUTURE SOURCES OF ENERGY In January 2000, we filed an application with the Virginia Commission to build and operate two 160 Mw combustion turbine units in Caroline County, Virginia for additional peaking capacity. We have obtained the applicable zoning permits for the construction of the generators and have applied for other required environmental permits. The Virginia Commission approved the project in October 2000. The units are expected to be operational by the summer of 2001. In June 2000, we filed an application with the Virginia Commission to make a number of changes to the Possum Point Power Station designed to improve air quality and to meet existing and proposed air emission limitations in Northern Virginia. We have proposed the retirement of two coal-fired units, conversion of two other coal-fired units to gas, and the addition of one combined cycle unit to be operational by May 2003. The Virginia Commission held a hearing on the matter in January 2001. Dominion has reached an agreement to acquire the Millstone Nuclear Power Station located in Waterford, Connecticut from subsidiaries of Northeast Utilities and other owners for approximately $1.3 billion. The acquisition includes 100% ownership in Unit 1 and Unit 2, and 93.47% ownership interest in Unit 3, for a total of 1,954 Mw of generating capacity. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 47 of the 2000 Annual Report for additional information on the Millstone Nuclear Power Station acquisition. Dominion has also sited four new generation plants with combined capacity of approximately 2,000 Mw along Dominion's gas pipelines in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Additional anticipated capacity expansion of 4,000 Mw is also planned, including capacity expansions at our Elwood facility in Illinois. The Company has planned a $400 million addition to its natural gas transmission system to help meet demand growth. The 200-mile Greenbrier Pipeline will extend from West Virginia to North Carolina. During 2000, Dominion acquired 167 billion cubic feet equivalent of gas reserves and additional acreage for exploratory and development drilling through a number of purchase transactions. Significant acquisitions during the year included the purchase of additional interests in two deepwater Gulf of Mexico properties and various South Texas gas fields. In January 2000, Dominion acquired an additional 12.5 percent interest in Popeye, a deepwater gas producing property, increasing its interest to 50 percent. Dominion also doubled its interest in the Devil's Tower deepwater discovery to 60 percent. In August 2000, Dominion acquired the operating interests of Suemaur Exploration & Production, LLC and several partners in three Texas Gulf Coast natural gas fields. 15 CAUTIONARY FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS (Cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) Our disclosure and analysis in this report and in our 2000 Annual Report to shareholders contain some "forward-looking statements."

PROPERTIES Dominion's assets consist primarily of its investments in its subsidiaries, the principal properties of which are described below. Our Dominion Energy segment utilizes the electric generation facilities listed under the heading Sources of Power--Generating Units in Item 1. BUSINESS. Additionally, in connection with gas transmission and storage operations, Dominion Energy's storage operation consists of 26 storage fields, 342,605 acres of operated leaseholds, 2,069 storage wells and 822 miles of pipe. A significant portion of our investment in gas transmission facilities is for 6,428 miles of pipe required to move large volumes of gas throughout the Company's operating area. Our Dominion Energy segment also includes 99 compressor stations with 492,040 installed compressor horsepower located in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York. Some of the stations are used interchangeably for several functions. Our Dominion Delivery segment utilizes 3,600 miles of electric transmission lines. Right-of-way grants from the apparent owners of real estate have been obtained for most electric lines, but underlying titles have not been examined except for transmission lines of 69 Kv or more. Where rights of way have not been obtained, they could be acquired from private owners by condemnation, if necessary. Many electric lines are on publicly owned property, as to which permission for use is generally revocable. Portions of our transmission lines cross national parks and forests under permits entitling the federal government to use, at specified charges, surplus capacity in the line if any exists. Dominion Delivery's investment in its gas distribution network is located in the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The gas distribution network includes 27,060 miles of pipe, exclusive of service pipe. 16 The Company's investment in its natural gas system is considered suitable to do all things necessary to bring gas to the consumer. The Company's properties provided the capacity to meet a record system peak day sendout, including transportation service, of 11.4 Bcf on February 6, 1995. The system peak day sendout in 2000 was 8.6 Bcf on January 27. Information detailing Dominion Exploration & Production's oil and gas investments is as follows: Company-Owned Reserves Estimated net quantities of proved gas and oil reserves at December 31 were as follows:

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, Dominion and its subsidiaries are alleged to be in violation or in default under orders, statutes, rules or regulations relating to the environment, compliance plans imposed upon or agreed to by us, or permits issued by various local, state and federal agencies for the construction or operation of facilities. From time to time, there may be administrative proceedings on these matters pending. In addition, in the normal course of business, Dominion and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations. See REGULATION and RATES under Item 1. BUSINESS for information on various regulatory proceedings to which we are a party. In April 1999, Virginia Power was notified by the Department of Justice of alleged noncompliance with the EPA's oil spill prevention, control and countermeasures (SPCC) plans and facility response plan (FRP) requirements at one of our power stations. If, in a legal proceeding, such instances of noncompliance are deemed to have occurred, Virginia Power may be required to remedy any alleged deficiencies and pay civil penalties. Settlement of this matter is currently in negotiation and is not expected to have a material impact on our Company's financial condition or results of operations. In August 1999, Virginia Power identified matters at certain other power stations that the EPA might view as not in compliance with the SPCC and FRP requirements. Virginia Power reported these matters to the EPA and our plan for correcting them. The EPA has not assessed any penalties, pending its review of the disclosure information. Future resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In August 1990, Dominion Transmission entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in which Dominion Transmission agreed with the DEP's determination of certain violations of the Pennsylvania Solid Waste Management Act, the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. No civil penalties have been assessed. According to the Order and Agreement, Dominion Transmission continues to perform sampling, testing and analysis, and conducts a program of remediation at some of its Pennsylvania facilities. Dominion Transmission has recognized an estimated liability amounting to $6 million at December 31, 2000, for future costs expected to be incurred to remediate or mitigate hazardous substances at these sites and at facilities covered by the Order and Agreement. During 2000, Dominion Transmission paid a total of $380,000 related to a hydrocarbon spill in February 1998 at one of its facilities in Aliquippa, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Dominion Transmission settled the matter by contributing $200,000 to the Penn's Corner Conservancy Charitable Trust and $80,000 to the Beaver County Conservation District, and paying $100,000 to the DEP for response costs. 19 During 2000, Virginia Power received a Notice of Violation (NOV) from the EPA alleging that we failed to obtain New Source Review permits under the Clean Air Act prior to undertaking specified construction projects at our Mt. Storm Power Station in West Virginia. EPA alleges that each of these projects resulted in an increase in the emission of air pollutants beyond levels that require a New Source Review permit specified under the Clean Air Act. Also in 2000, the Attorney General of New York filed a suit alleging similar violations of the Clean Air Act at the Mt. Storm Power Station. Virginia Power also received notices from the Attorneys General of Connecticut and New Jersey of their intentions to file suit for similar violations. Virginia Power has reached an agreement in principle with the federal government and the state of New York to resolve this situation. The agreement in principle includes payment of a $5 million civil penalty, a commitment of $14 million for major environmental projects in Virginia, West Virginia, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York, and a 12-year, $1.2 billion capital investment program for environmental improvements at the Company's coal-fired generating stations in Virginia and West Virginia. Although Virginia Power reached an agreement in principle, the terms of a final binding settlement are still being negotiated. See Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 61 of the 2000 Annual Report. Following the announcement of the merger, in April 1999, CNG and its directors were served with a Class Action Complaint, which sought, among other things, to compel CNG to sell the company for the highest value to CNG shareholders. Several additional Class Action Complaints, seeking essentially the same relief, have been combined with this action. CNG moved to dismiss, and on February 15, 2000, the plaintiffs took action for dismissal. A qui tam action (one in which the plaintiff sues for the government as well as for itself, and gets to keep part of the recovery) was brought by Jack Grynberg, an oil and gas entrepreneur, against a major part of the gas industry, including CNG and several of its subsidiaries. The complaint, which was filed on July 2, 1997, was under seal pending Department of Justice review. The Department of Justice declined to intervene and the seal was lifted in May 1999. CNG was served in the Western District of Louisiana on May 1, 1999. The suit alleges fraudulent mismeasurement of gas volumes and underreporting of gas royalties from gas production taken from federal leases. The cases have been removed to the Eastern District of Wyoming, where a motion to dismiss will be filed by the Company. A class action was filed by Quinque Operating Co. and others against approximately 300 defendants, including CNG and several of its subsidiaries, in Stevens County, Kansas. The complaint, which was served on CNG and its subsidiaries on September 24, 1999, alleged fraud, misrepresentation, conversion and assorted other claims, in the measurement and payment of gas royalties from privately held gas leases. The case has been remanded to Kansas state court by the federal judge overseeing the Grynberg case. The plaintiffs will seek class certification and expedited discovery in Kansas. The defendants in the case have filed a motion to keep the case in federal court. 20 ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
