How will the IRP modeling deal with potential risks associated with the availability of imports?

As stated in Appendix 2D of the Company's 2025 IRP Update [https://www.dominionenergy.com/about/our-company/irp], the Company’s PLEXOS modeling uses lower capacity and energy import limits than those found in the transmission import studies to help ensure energy independence and self-sufficiency for the Company’s customers. 

Other Stakeholder Questions and Answers

• Will new PJM and FERC policies regarding data centers and their use during peak times affect the peak load requirements? Will it affect modeled need for transmission, power generation, and costs?
• How does the forecast account for transmission and coincident peaks (CP)? What is 1CP, 5CP, and 12CP, and how are they considered or used as constraints?
