Dominion Energy, Inc. reported strong Q4 2025 earnings, crediting high-quality earnings and robust credit results. The company plans to increase its five-year capital plan by 30% to $65 billion, driven by growing demand in the data center market. Existing contracts cover forecasted data center demand through 2045.

Operational efficiency remains a focus, with residential rates below the national average despite load growth. The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is over 70% complete, emphasizing long-term reliability. Strategic positioning in South Carolina aims to close the earned ROE gap. Management expects 5-7% annual operating EPS growth starting in 2028.

The company’s $65 billion capital plan will rely on internally generated cash flow and common equity. Dividend growth will be reconsidered after achieving a peer-aligned payout ratio. Future earnings growth is expected to be backloaded in the five-year plan. RNG credit guidance has been lowered, awaiting final federal regulations.

A human error caused a delay in CVOW turbine installation, but it’s viewed as a one-off event. Potential tariff exposure for CVOW is being monitored post-Supreme Court ruling. Millstone’s future depends on a pending Connecticut RFP for zero-carbon energy. Growth is supported by rate increases in Virginia and South Carolina.

If turbine installation extends beyond July 2027, additional costs of $150-200 million per quarter are expected. Any overruns would be shared with the project’s financing partner, Stonepeak. Forecasts assume data centers will ramp up based on historical performance and contracts. The company remains confident in data center economic benefits.
