Will the IRP update incorporate potential impacts from PJM reliability initiatives, such as reliability backstop procurement, or will it reflect a business as usual forecast?

At this time, PJM reliability initiatives such as reliability backstop procurement are still in the information gathering and stakeholder comment phase, and the associated rules and requirements have not been finalized. Because the Company’s modeling efforts for this IRP will begin before those processes are fully defined, their potential impacts are not expected to be incorporated into this year’s IRP filing.

As those processes are finalized, Dominion Energy will assess how they may affect future planning assumptions and analyses.
