Is the Company intending to provide assumptions around costs from Federal/EPA CO2 regulation, as well as Virginia being both in and out of RGGI?

The Company models the laws and regulations in effect at the time of modeling. Specifically for RGGI, Virginia’s participation and state compliance requirements resume July 1, 2026, consistent with the existing RGGI CO2 emissions trading program and auction requirements. For the 2026 IRP filing, which will be filed October 15, the Company will model Virginia "in" RGGI.  

Regarding Federal CO2 regulations, we work with a third-party consultant to develop commodity price forecasts representing reasonable expectations of CO2 taxes across current and future administrations.
