VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY ))
To revise its fuel factor pursuant to Va. Code )§ 56-249.6 )
Case No. PUE-2015-00022
APPLICATION AND REQUEST FOR PARTIAL WAIVER
Pursuant to § 56-249.6 of the Code of Virginia ("Va. Code"), Virginia Electric and Power
Company ("Dominion Virginia Power" or the "Company"), by counsel, files this Application to
revise its fuel factor effective April 1, 2015 ("Application"). In support of its Application,
Dominion Virginia Power respectfully states the following;
1. Dominion Virginia Power is a public service corporation organized under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia furnishing electric service to the public within its
certificated service territory. The Company also supplies electric service to nonjurisdictional
customers in Virginia and to the public in portions of North Carolina. Dominion Virginia
Power's electric system, consisting of facilities for generation, transmission and distribution of
electric energy, as well as associated facilities, is interconnected with the electric systems of
neighboring utilities and is part of the interconnected network of electric systems serving the
continental United States. By reason of its operations in Virginia and North Carolina and its
interconnections with other electric utilities, the Company engages in interstate commerce. The
post office address of Dominion Virginia Power is P.O. Box 26666, Richmond, Virginia 23261.
2. The facts supporting this Application are set forth in the accompanying testimony
and exhibits of Steven A. Rogers, Robert G. Thomas, Glenn A. Kelly, Gregory A. Workman,
Tom A. Brookmire, Alan L. Meekins, John C. Ingram, and Edward J. Anderson.
3. The testimony and exhibits demonstrate that a revision to Dominion Virginia
Power's existing fuel factor rate is necessary to provide the Company with the appropriate level
of fuel cost recovery pursuant to Va. Code § 56-249.6 over the period beginning April 1, 2015
through June 30, 2016.
4. Dominion Virginia Power is requesting in this Application a total fuel factor of
2.406 cents per kilowatt-hour ("¢/kWh"), which represents a 0.612¢/kWh decrease from the total
fuel factor currently in effect of3.018¢/kWh, and results in a fuel revenue decrease of
approximately $512.3 million when applied to the projected current period kWh sales over the
period April 1,2015 - June 30, 2016.
5. The Company is requesting that the Commission implement the proposed fuel
rate reduction effective for usage on and after April 1, 2015, on an interim basis, with such
further proceedings in this docket after that time as the Commission deems appropriate,
consistent with the directives of Senate Bill 1349, which was recently enacted by the General
Assembly of Virginia during its 2015 Regular Session and signed into law by Governor
McAuliffe on February 24, 2015 ("Senate Bill 1349" or the "Legislation").' Under the
Legislation, the Company is required to forgo recovery of 50% of the Company's prior period
deferred fuel expense recovery balance on its books and records as of December 31, 2014 - or
approximately $85 million - from customers. In addition, the Legislation directs the
Commission to implement reductions in the Company's fuel factor rate "as soon as practicable"
to reflect this non-recovery, as well as any reduction in the fuel factor associated with the
Company's current period forecasted fuel expense over-recovery for the 2014-2015 fuel year,
and the projected fuel expense for the 2015-2016 fuel year. To facilitate the accelerated
implementation of a fuel rate reduction, the Company is filing its Application, testimony and
12015 Virginia Acts of Assembly, Ch. 6, Enactment Clause 2 (approved February 24, 2015; effective July 1,2015).
2
schedules supporting a revision to the fuel factor approximately two months ahead of the typical
early May filing date, and requests that the Commission implement the lower fuel rate, on an
interim basis, for the fifteen-month period commencing April 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016.
6. The Company's total fuel factor, reflected in Fuel Charge Rider A, consists of
both a current and prior period factor. As discussed by Company Witness Anderson, for the July
1,2015 through June 30, 2016 fuel year (the "current period"), the Company projects Virginia
jurisdictional fuel expenses, including purchased power expenses, of approximately $1.6 billion,
resulting in a current period fuel factor rate of2.374¢/kWh. Fuel Charge Rider A's prior period
fuel factor rate of 0.032¢/kWh is designed to recover approximately $21.9 million, which
represents the net of two projected June 30, 2015 fuel deferral balances. The first balance is the
projected June 30, 2015 over-recovery balance of approximately $24.0 million associated with
recovery of the July 2014 through June 2015 period expense. The second balance is the
projected June 30, 2015 under-recovery balance of approximately $45.9 million associated with
recovery of the remaining portion of the January 31, 2015 prior period expense to be recovered
through June 30, 2015. This prior period factor also reflects the 50% reduction to the deferral
balance as of December 31, 2014 of approximately $85 million, as discussed by Company
Witness Ingram.t
7. In connection with this Application, the Company is also proposing a
modification to the Commission's Definitional Framework of Fuel Expenses for Virginia
Electric and Power Company, as described in the accompanying testimony and exhibits of
Company Witnesses Rogers and Ingram.
8. Rule 80.A of the Commission's Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and
2 As Company Witness Anderson explains, this is a savings to customers of $0.00 102/kWh per month, or$1.02/MWh, based on projected sales for the period April 2015 - June 2016.
3
Annual Informational Filings ("Rate Case Rules"), 20 VAC 50-201-80.A, requires that "[i]n the
event that an electric utility files an application to change the fuel factor, fuel factor projections
shall be filed at least six weeks prior to the proposed effective date."
9. As noted, the Company's annual application to revise its fuel factor is typically
filed with the Commission around May 1 of each year, with a requested implementation date of
July 1. Given the directive of Senate Bill 1349 to implement a fuel rate reduction "as soon as
practicable," the Company is filing its Application to change its fuel factor approximately two
months ahead of the typical filing date and is requesting the lower fuel rate be implemented for
usage on and after April 1,2015, on an interim basis, with such further proceedings in this
docket following that time which the Commission deems appropriate. Under this accelerated
schedule, the Company's fuel factor projections are being filed approximately four weeks prior
to the proposed effective date, rather than six weeks prior as prescribed by Rule 80.A.
10. Rule 10.E of the Rate Case Rules, 20 VAC 5-201-10.E, provides the Commission
with the discretion to "waive any or all parts of this chapter for good cause shown." For these
reasons and for good cause shown, the Company requests that the Commission grant a partial
waiver of the requirements of Rule 80.A and permit a shortened period between the filing of the
fuel factor projections and the proposed effective date of the fuel factor change.
WHEREFORE, Dominion Virginia Power respectfully files the proposed fuel factor of
2.406¢/kWh, as set out herein, on an interim basis, effective for usage on and after April 1,2015,
and requests the Commission grant the Company a partial waiver of Rule 80.A.

DIRECT TESTIMONYOF
STEVEN A. ROGERSON BEHALF OF
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANYBEFORE THE
STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION OF VIRGINIACASE NO. PUE-2015-00022
Please state your name, business address, and position of employment.
My name is Steven A. Rogers and my business address is 120 Tredegar Street,
Richmond, Virginia 23219. I am Senior Vice President - Financial Management for
Dominion Generation. A statement of my background and qualifications is attached as
Appendix A.
What are your management responsibilities with respect to Virginia Electric and
Power Company ("Dominion Virginia Power" or the "Company")?
I am responsible for the financial management of Dominion's generating business. This
includes responsibility for financial analysis, forecasting and budgeting functions, fuel
procurement, and generation system planning.
What is the purpose of your testimony in this proceeding?
I will describe the calculation of fuel costs that are recoverable by the Company over the
period beginning April 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 and briefly discuss the elements
that are responsible for the significant decrease in the Company's fuel factor rate. In
addition, I will address the Company's request to implement the proposed fuel rate
reduction on April 1, 2015, on an interim basis, consistent with the directives of Senate
Bill 1349, which was recently enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia during its
2015 Regular Session and signed into law by Governor McAuliffe on February 24, 2015

("Senate Bill 1349" or "the legislation"). I My testimony also discusses certain
operational performance metrics and our ongoing initiatives to reduce fuel costs on behalf
of our customers.
You mentioned Senate Bill 1349. How does this legislation impact the Company's
2015 fuel factor proceeding?
Two key elements of the legislation are relevant to this proceeding. First, the legislation
requires that 50% of the Company's prior period deferred fuel expense recovery balance
on its books and records as of December 31, 2014 - representing approximately $85
million - not be recovered from customers. In addition, the legislation directs the State
Corporation Commission of Virginia ("Commission") to implement reductions in the
Company's fuel factor rate "as soon as practicable" to reflect this non-recovery, as well
as any reduction in the fuel factor associated with the Company's current period
forecasted fuel expense over-recovery for the 2014-2015 fuel year, and the projected fuel
expense for the 2015-2016 fuel year. These three components contribute to a significant
fuel rate reduction for the benefit of our customers.
To facilitate the accelerated implementation of a fuel rate reduction, the Company is
filing its application, testimony and schedules supporting a revision to the fuel factor
approximately two months ahead of the typical early May filing date, and requests that
the Commission implement the lower fuel rate, on an interim basis, effective for usage on
and after April 1, 2015. Given the General Assembly's directive, the Company has
calculated a fuel factor rate which combines the effect of the three components described
above and which would remain in effect, with Commission approval, for the fifteen-
12015 Virginia Acts of Assembly, Ch. 6, Enactment Clause 2 (approved February 24,2015; effective July 1,2015).

month period commencing April 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016, thereby accelerating
the rate reduction and avoiding any volatility in the fuel rate which might be associated
with a second change on the typical implementation date of July 1.
What fuel factor does the Company propose in this case?
The Company is proposing a fuel rate reduction of approximately 20% from the 3.018
¢/kWh rate previously approved by this Commission in Case No. PUE-2014-00033 (the
"2014 Fuel Factor").
The proposed Virginia jurisdictional fuel rate is comprised of two elements. First, for the
July 1,2015 through June 30, 2016 fuel year (the "current period"), the Company
projects Virginia jurisdictional fuel expenses, including purchased power expenses, of
approximately $1.6 billion, translating into a current period fuel factor rate of
2.374¢/kWh, as Company Witness Edward J. Anderson discusses. Second, the
Company's projected June 30, 2015 fuel deferral balance (the "prior period") is
approximately $21.9 million, representing the net of the projected June 30, 2015 over
recovery of expenses during the July 1,2014 - June 30, 2015 fuel period, and the
projected June 30, 2015 under-recovery of expenses associated with the remaining
January 31, 2015 prior period expense, resulting in a prior period factor of 0.032¢/kWho
This prior period factor also reflects a 50% reduction to the deferral balance as of
December 31, 2014 of approximately $85 million as discussed by Company Witness John
C. Ingram. Together, these components translate into a total proposed fuel factor rate of
2.406¢/kWh for the period April 1,2015 - June 30, 2016, as Company Witness Anderson
explains.

As Company Witness Anderson also details in his testimony, this fuel rate reduction will
result in a decrease to the typical residential customer's monthly electric bill of
approximately $6.12. For our higher volume energy consumers in the commercial and
industrial classes, the savings will be significantly higher.
What are the major factors underlying the Company's ability to reduce the fuel
factor rate in this proceeding?
The over-recovery during the 2014-2015 fuel year was driven principally by lower than
expected commodity and power prices, particularly those for natural gas, as well as
milder than normal weather in the summer and fall. In addition, our investment in
highly-efficient generation resources like the Bear Garden Power Station and the new
Warren County Power Station ("Warren") have strengthened our fuel diversity and
allowed us to leverage these low gas prices for the benefit of customers. These trends
helped to reduce our fuel costs in the 2014-2015 fuel year, and are projected to continue
during the 2015-2016 fuel year.
The significant decline in natural gas prices compared to forecast is addressed on page 10
of Company Witness Kelly's testimony. Natural gas prices have dropped as much as
38% since last year's filing, from a forecasted $5.03 per one million British thermal units
("MMBtu") for the July 2014 - June 2015 fuel year to $3. 12/MMBtu through January
2015, as Mr. Kelly's testimony demonstrates.
Company Witness Kelly's testimony also illustrates the significant decline in power
prices, which correlate to low gas costs when gas units drive the marginal pricing in the
PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") marketplace. He shows that on-peak power prices

for the PJM Western Hub have fallen by 20% since last year's filing.
Are there any changes in generation capacity during this upcoming fuel year?
Yes, the Brunswick County Power Station ("Brunswick"), a 1,358 MW (nominal)
natural-gas fired combined-cycle generation facility, is expected to become operational in
May 2016. Employing state-of-the-art 3xl gas combined-cycle technology, Brunswick
will further strengthen the mix of fuels and generation resources now available to the
Company and enhance our existing operational efficiencies to the benefit of our
customers. Like Warren, the facility's heat rate will be among the best in the nation when
it enters service, resulting in reduced fuel costs and lower emissions. Possum Point Unit
6, a combined-cycle 559 MW unit, will be uprated by 27 MW in May 2015.
While not directly at issue in this proceeding, how is the Company's generation fuel
mix expected to change over the next several years?
As discussed in the Company's Fuel Procurement Strategy Report ("Report") filed on
January 30, 2015 in the 2014 Fuel Factor, the Company's natural gas-fired units now
provide baseload, intermediate, and peaking services, and in 2014 met approximately
15% of the Company's annual energy requirements. By 2019, the natural gas percentage
of energy production is expected to increase to as much as 40%, with corresponding
decreases in the percentage of system energy derived from coal and purchased power, as
new, efficient gas-fired generation resources like Brunswick come on-line.
How does this increase in natural gas as a percentage of system energy impact the
Company's gas procurement strategy?
The Company's approach to natural gas procurement continues to involve two primary

goals: (1) ensuring adequate supply to provide reliable and cost-effective service, and (2)
reasonably mitigating price volatility for customers. As discussed in the Report, in order
to support the growing need for physical supplies of natural gas, the Company believes
that it is prudent to modify its existing gas procurement practices to include more firm
transportation agreements sourced from diverse locations and longer-term (terms greater
than day ahead or intra-day) gas supply contracts as compared to our current approach
(day ahead or intra-day). Using a greater percentage of longer-term natural gas supply
arrangements sourced directly from diverse locations will promote greater certainty of
supply. This longer-term gas procurement approach is also consistent with the
Company's multiyear contracting approach for procuring coal supplies. Additionally, the
Company will continue to use financial hedging instruments to mitigate price volatility
for this historically volatile commodity.
Does the Company intend to make any changes to its price hedging practices?
Yes. Given the projected increase in the volume of natural gas purchases over the next
several years, the Company plans to expand its forward price hedging activity from one
year to three years. In addition, the Company intends to increase price hedging levels to a
target range of 20% to 50% of forecasted volumes to be purchased in the first year of a
three-year period. These new natural gas price hedging targets are expected to be
achieved via the pricing associated with the gas supply and transportation procurement
activities described above, as well as the continued use of derivative instruments to
financially hedge a portion of these volumes.
The Company's forecasted energy requirements and fuel expense for the 2015-2016 fuel
year presented by Company Witness Kelly reflect a movement toward these new targets,

which are addressed in more detail in the Report. The Company also anticipates that
purchased power volumes will gradually decrease, but we will continue to use derivative
instruments to financially hedge a portion of these volumes when such instruments are
available and beneficial for our customers.
Is the Company proposing any changes in this proceeding to its Definitional
Framework of Fuel Expenses (the "Definitional Framework") in connection with
these plans?
Yes. As Company Witness Ingram notes, in order to support the expansion of its
financial hedging activities, the Company is proposing to add a new Paragraph (d) to the
existing Definitional Framework to explicitly reaffirm that gains and losses, including
option premiums, arising from the use of derivative instruments to financially hedge fuel
and purchased power are recoverable through the Company's fuel factor. The proposed
change is shown in Company Exhibit No. _, lCI, Schedule 4.
As Company Witness Ingram explains, it is possible that derivatives employed in future
financial hedging transactions for natural gas and purchased power may not meet or
maintain the strict requirements for "hedge accounting treatment." These types of
transactions, referred to as "economic hedges," are undertaken with the objective of
promoting rate stability and mitigating price volatility for customers under the
Company's hedging program. To accommodate these circumstances, the Company
believes that a modification to the text of the Definitional Framework to explicitly
reaffirm that gains and losses, including option premiums, arising from the use of
derivative instruments are recoverable through the fuel factor, regardless of whether they
qualify for "hedge accounting treatment," is necessary and appropriate. These

transactions provide an important tool and this change would allow for these activities to
continue to provide benefits for our customers in the future, particularly as the Company
moves toward the new price hedging targets for gas. Importantly though, as Company
Witness Ingram explains, the Company will not seek to recover through the fuel factor
any costs arising from the use of derivative instruments that are currently recovered
through base rates.
As measured by Equivalent Forced Outage Rate on demand ("EFORd"), how did
the Company's generation fleet perform in 2014 compared to that of other units
within PJM?
For the period January through September 2014, the Company had a fleet EFORd of
3.24%, which compares very favorably to the PJM pool-wide average of9.7% over the
same period.
In closing, can you summarize the key aspects of the Company's generation, fuel
procurement, and purchased power acquisition practices?
Yes. The Company employs a comprehensive strategy to meet our customers' needs and
demands for power at the lowest reasonable cost utilizing its diverse mix of reliable,
efficient self-generation and non-utility generation resources as well as economy
purchases from the wholesale power markets. The Company will continue to act
prudently in its fuel procurement practices to minimize costs for the coal, oil, natural gas,
wood and nuclear fuel that we must purchase to run our power plants. We will also
continue to buy in the PJM spot energy market when doing so is cost-advantageous
relative to the costs of self-generation. Company Witness Alan L. Meekins discusses the
savings that access to these markets provided for our customers in 2014.

Fuel costs are a significant component of overall rates for all classes of our customers,
and they are influenced in many respects by conditions that are external to the Company
and beyond its control - including extreme weather and market price fluctuations. The
availability of a diverse fleet of generation assets, using a variety of fuels and
technologies, is a primary tool in protecting our customers from the effects of commodity
price volatility, commodity delivery disruptions, and other external factors. The addition
of new, efficient resources such as Warren and Brunswick will enhance these efforts for
the benefit of customers.
Ensuring reliable and sufficient access to fuel supply and transport is another significant
component of the Company's fuel procurement strategy. To achieve this objective with
respect to natural gas, the Company follows a disciplined protocol of purchasing both
supply and transport from a diverse portfolio of suppliers and supply regions, with
various contract terms and prices.
As noted, uncertainty in future commodity prices exposes the Company and its customers
to unpredictable changes in fuel costs. To help mitigate this risk, the Company also
transacts physical and financial instruments in the marketplace to hedge against potential
fuel price changes in the future. Together, these three components of the Company's
comprehensive fuel procurement strategy help to ensure that fuel costs remain as
reasonable as possible for our customers, both now and in the future.
What Company witnesses are filing testimony in this case?

the last several years have eliminated the need to produce forecasts for short-term time
horizons. Each month, a comprehensive set of market-based projected commodity prices
for natural gas, gas basis, crude oil, No.6 fuel oil, No.2 fuel oil, Central and Northern
Appalachian coal, emissions allowance costs, and power is compiled. Schedule 1 shows
prices as of January 31, 2015 for the fuel factor period beginning April 1, 2015 through
June 30, 2016.
Please describe the source data and method for developing the natural gas price
projections.
Natural gas price projections are based on New York Mercantile Exchange Clearport
("NYMEX") Henry Hub futures prices. Henry Hub, located in Louisiana, is a pooling
point of several pipelines from various supply regions in the Gulf of Mexico. Henry Hub
is widely used throughout the industry as a benchmark for natural gas prices.
Please describe the source data and method for developing the natural gas basis
price projections.
Natural gas basis price projections are based on Intercontinental Exchange ("ICE")
futures prices and Platts postings. Natural gas for the Company's fleet is primarily
purchased at several different market points: Transco Zone 5 and Zone 6 Non-New York
("NNY"), TCO Pool (Columbia Gas Transmission), and Dominion South Point. Gas
basis at Transco Zone 6NNY, Dominion South Point, and TCO Pool are all traded on
ICE. Gas basis at Transco Zone 5 is based on Platts postings.
Please describe the source data and method for developing oil price projections.
Projections for crude oil and No.2 fuel oil are based on NYMEX Clearport futures

products. West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil is a light sweet product delivered
to Cushing, Oklahoma that is priced in terms of $/barrel. This forward contract is a
widely used benchmark throughout the industry. For No.2 fuel oil, futures contracts
with a delivery point at New York Harbor are used. Prices are stated in $/gallon, and
converted to $/MMBtu using a conversion factor of 7.2 gallons/MMBtu. Because there
is no No.6 fuel oil product traded on NYMEX, a commonly used broker source, A.E.
Bruggemann & Co. Energy Brokers, is employed. The product is defined as 1% sulfur
residual oil (quoted in $/bbl), and then converted to $/MMBtu by dividing the quote by a
6.3 MMBtu/bbl conversion factor.
Please describe the source data and method for developing coal price projections.
For projection purposes, three distinct product prices based on market quotes are
compiled. Specifically, coal price data are obtained from United Power, a division of
ICAP United, Inc., which is the primary source for coal pricing in the industry. The first
product quote is a Central Appalachian coal with a 12,500 Btu/lb heating value and 1.6
Ib/MMBtu sulfur dioxide (S02) content obtained using the CSX Corporation railway
system. The second product quote has the same specifications, but is delivered using the
Norfolk Southern Corporation railway system. The final product quote is a Northern
Appalachian coal with a 13,000 Btu/lb heating value and 3.8-4.2Ib/MMBtu S02 content.
All three of these coals have the potential to be burned in the Company's generating units
depending upon commodity and transportation pricing, and specific unit characteristics.
Please describe the source data and method for developing emissions price
projections.

Cross State Air Pollution Rule ("CSAPR"), allowing implementation of Phase 1 on
January 1,2015. CSAPR replaces the Clean Air Interstate Rule ("CAIR"). CSAPR
requires states to improve air quality by limiting power plant emissions that cross state
lines. The rule covers 23 states, requiring reductions in both nitrogen oxide ("NOx") and
sulfur dioxide ("S02") emissions. States in Group 1 (including Virginia) will be required
to make additional reductions to S02 emissions when Phase 2 is implemented in 2017.
CSAPR is an emissions allowance-based "cap-and-trade" program. The allowances
originally issued in 2011 for 2012 and 2013 have been re-vintaged for 2015 and 2016.
Under CSAPR, environmental S02 and NOx allowance pricing is obtained from
Evolution Markets, Inc., a commonly used industry source for environmental pricing
data. The price quotes contained in my Schedules are given in dollars per short ton of
S02 or NOx allowances available in the market.
There are two "cap-and-trade" markets for NOx. The first applies throughout the entire
year, and includes the 23 states mandated by CSAPR to reduce emissions, including
Virginia. The second is a seasonal ozone program and applies to 25 states, also including
Virginia. This program creates a five-month ozone season (May-September).
Describe the source data and method for developing power price ($/MWh)
projections, including an explanation and determination of locational power price
differences.
Price projections for the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") Dominion Zone ("Dom
Zone") region are developed using forward price quotes for the PJM Western Hub
("PJM- W"), along with a locational adjustment to reflect delivery to Dom Zone. This is

necessary because forward PJM Dom Zone quotes are not readily available. The PJM-W
forward price projections are based on ICE-reported forward over-the-counter settlement
prices. The locational difference is based on historical average differentials for both
congestion and losses dating back to February 1,2013 between the PJM-W Hub region
and the PJM Dom Zone delivery point. This locational differential is then applied to the
PJM-W forward market price to develop a proxy for the Dom Zone price.
Please provide a summary of the commodity price sources that are used and
indicate where additional information can be obtained.
This information is shown on Schedule 2. In addition, Schedule 3 provides historical
price information for certain commodity price sources relative to the prior period fuel
factor (July 1,2014 to June 30, 2015) through January 31, 2015.
Please describe any changes in market assumptions between the Company's 2014
Fuel Factor and this year's filing.
The only change is the transition discussed above from the CAIR emissions program to
CSAPR.
Does this conclude your pre-filed direct testimony?
Yes, it does.

DIRECT TESTIMONYOF
GLENN A. KELLYON BEHALF OF
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANYBEFORE THE
STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION OF VIRGINIACASE NO. PUE-2015-00022
Please state your name, business address, and position of employment.
My name is Glenn A. Kelly, and my business address is 5000 Dominion Boulevard, Glen
Allen, Virginia 23060. I am the Director of Generation System Planning for Virginia
Electric and Power Company ("Dominion Virginia Power" or the "Company"). I am
responsible for forecasting total system fuel and purchased power expenses, and for
conducting the Company's long-term generation supply planning. A statement of my
background and qualifications is attached as Appendix A.
What is the purpose of your testimony in this proceeding?
I will review the methodology and models that the Company used to project total system
energy requirements and fuel expenses from July 1,2015 through June 30, 2016 (the
"current period"). In doing so, I will also describe the load forecast, unit operating
parameters, and electric market interface assumptions used to develop these projections.
Finally, I will discuss the Company's actual energy requirements and fuel expenses for
the 12-month historical period of February 1, 2014 through January 31, 2015, as required
by Rule 80 ofthe Commission's Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual
Informational Filings, 20 VAC 5-201-80.
During the course of your testimony, will you introduce an exhibit?
Yes. Company Exhibit No. _, GAK, consisting of Schedules 1 through 15, was

prepared under my supervision and direction, and is accurate and complete to the best of
my knowledge and belief.
Please describe the Company's process for projecting total system energy
requirements and fuel expenses for the current period.
Projected system energy and fuel expenses are developed through a four-phase planning
process that simulates the expected economic dispatch of the Company's system. First,
the Company develops a load forecast (retail and wholesale) for its entire service
territory. Second, the Nuclear and Power Generation business units provide projections
of the generating unit operational parameters, including unit capacities, heat rates,
planned outages, and forced outage rates. The Power Contracts Department also provides
the contract parameters for non-utility generators ("NUGs") under contract with the
Company. Third, the Budgeting, Business Planning & Market Analysis Department
provides the commodity and power price forecasts, while the Fuels Department provides
the fuel contracts and associated transportation arrangements. Finally, the data is
compiled into models that provide a simulation of the Company's system dispatch. The
result of this simulation is a projection of the system fuel expense, which the Rates
Department then uses to develop the Company's Virginia jurisdictional fuel factor rate.
What models were used to develop the energy and fuel expense projections?
The Company utilizes the FuelPlan and PROMOD models to calculate expected fuel
expense.
What is the FuelPlan model?
The FuelPlan model is a PC-based model that consists of two different modules - the

dispatch module and the expense module. The dispatch module develops the unit
dispatch rates (in ¢/MBtu) that are used by PRO MOD to simulate the economic dispatch
of the Company's generating units. The expense module develops the unit expense rates
that are used in PROMOD to calculate the cost of the units' projected generation based
on the weighted average value of the fuel inventory at each unit (which changes over
time due to the monthly fuel deliveries and consumption at the Company's stations).
How are unit dispatch rates developed?
The dispatch module of FuelPlan utilizes the forward commodity price forecast, which is
described by Company Witness Robert G. Thomas, along with a transportation adder for
each unit to develop a unit dispatch rate. This dispatch rate reflects the marginal or
replacement delivered fuel cost of the incremental generation from a particular unit. The
unit dispatch rates (in ¢/MBtu) are passed to the PROMOD model as inputs for the
Company's system to simulate the economic dispatch to meet the Company's projected
load requirements. The PROMOD model is run using the unit dispatch rates, and the
resulting unit Btu requirements are then passed back from PRO MOD to FuelPlan to
develop the unit expense rates.
How are unit expense rates developed?
The expense module of FuelPlan develops a projection of the monthly average inventory
cost for each generating unit. The model downloads the beginning inventory cost for
each unit from the Company's accounting system, and calculates a forecasted monthly
average inventory cost based on beginning inventory cost and the cost of the projected
fuel deliveries. For example, for the Company's coal units, the model incorporates both
contract and spot market purchases based on the projected Btu requirements, which

results in an average of spot and contract delivered prices weighted by tons.
What is the PROMOD model?
PROMOD is a production costing model leased from Ventyx LLC that the Company has
used for many years to forecast its system operations and fuel costs. The model utilizes
the dispatch rates developed in FuelPlan along with the forward power price curve to
simulate the dispatch of the Company's system to meet projected load requirements. The
model logic dispatches resources in least-cost order (from either the Company's
generating units or purchases through PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM")) to meet the
Company's total demand requirements. If during any given hour the load requirement is
met, and the Company's marginal generating unit dispatch cost is below the market price
of energy, PROMOD will simulate an interchange sales transaction. The PROMOD
dispatch logic takes into account the operational parameters of the generating units and
the Company's NUG contracts when determining the least cost solution.
How are the respective units' dispatch costs determined in PROMOD?
Unit dispatch cost is based on the marginal or replacement energy cost specific to the
unit. The energy cost components include the marginal fuel expense (the unit dispatch
rate from the FuelPlan model), the marginal allowance expense for both sulfur dioxide
("S02") and nitrogen oxide ("NOx") emissions, and the variable operations and
maintenance ("O&M") expense. The marginal allowance expense is based on a unit's
S02 and NOx emission rates (lbs/MBtu) and the market value or replacement cost of
allowances ($/ton). The variable O&M expense component includes both consumables
(water, limestone, ammonia, etc.) and the variable portion of maintenance expense.

The $/MWh dispatch cost of the unit is developed by multiplying the delivered fuel cost
(in $/MBtu) times the unit heat rate (in MBtulMWh), and then adding the $/MWh costs
of emissions adders and variable O&M. These unit dispatch costs are calculated by the
model to determine the total variable cost of dispatching the unit ($/MWh) at various
levels of output, including the impact of start-up costs and environmental regulations.
I. CURRENT PERIOD DISCUSSION
What kWh sales forecast is used to develop the projected load requirements?
Schedule 1 shows the Company's total energy requirement at the generator output level,
and the sales forecast for both total system and Virginia jurisdictional customers for the
current period. The effects of energy efficiency and demand-side management programs
are included in the system sales forecast.
How have forward commodity prices changed since the Company's fuel factor filing
last year in Case No. PUE-2014-00033 (the '"2014 Fuel Factor")?
As the table below demonstrates, natural gas, coal, oil and power prices have decreased
since last year's fuel filing.

What is the Company's projection of system fuel and purchased power expenses for
the current period?
The Company's projected system fuel expense for the current period is $2,026 million.
Schedule 2 shows supply volumes (MWh), supply costs ($000), and average cost
($/MWh), by supply type, for the current period. The total monthly system energy and
fuel expense on my Schedule 2 is included in Company Exhibit No. _, EJA, Schedule
1, sponsored by Company Witness Edward J. Anderson, to determine the Company's
Virginia jurisdictional fuel expense.
The Company's projected system fuel expense is lower than in its 2014 Fuel Factor.
What are the drivers for this decrease?
As I will discuss later in my testimony, the primary drivers to the decrease in the system
fuel expense are the decreases in the commodity prices for natural gas, coal, oil and
power.
What unit operating assumptions and results are included in this filing?
Confidential Schedule 3 provides the projected equivalent availability rates, confidential
planned outage dates, and capacity factors by generating unit (for non-peaking units) for
the current period. Confidential Schedule 4 shows the assumed monthly unit equivalent
forced outage rates.
How does PROMOD account for the Company's participation in PJM?
PROMOD dispatches the Company's generating units against an hourly market price that
is reflective of the PJM Dominion Zone ("Dom Zone") price. Company Witness Thomas
discusses this forecast in greater detail. In the model, the Company's system is

interconnected with the PJM energy market. For economy energy purchases, if the
market price of energy is lower than our cost to generate, then imports will occur until the
marginal cost of the last unit dispatched equals the market price of energy (with the
imports not allowed to exceed the transmission tie limit). For off-system sales, if the
market price of energy is higher than our cost to generate, then exports will occur until
the marginal cost of the last unit dispatched equals the market price of energy (with the
exports not allowed to exceed the transmission tie limit).
Are there any off-system sales included in this filing for the current period?
The Company is projecting that it will sell 479,390 MWh, with an associated sales
margin of $9.0 million, for the current period. Therefore, $6.8 million for energy sales
margins is reflected as a reduction to the system fuel expense pursuant to the statutory
75%-25% sharing mechanism of such margins under Va. Code § 56-249.6 D 1. Schedule
5 shows the expected off-system sales margins by month. The total reduction to the
system fuel expense is $27.7 million. These values are also included in the system total
fuel expense shown on Schedule 2.
Does the Company's system fuel expense include the impacts of financial
transmission rights ("FTRs")?
Yes. Schedule 2, page 2 of 3 shows a reduction of $6.7 million, which reflects a 100%
credit of excess FTRs as previously agreed by the Company in prior Virginia fuel factor
cases.

Are interim nuclear spent fuel storage costs reflected in total system fuel expense?
Yes. System nuclear fuel expense includes interim spent fuel storage costs of$13.2
million.
Are natural gas storage and pipeline firm transportation expenses reflected in total
system fuel expense?
Yes. System gas fuel expense includes natural gas storage and pipeline transportation
expenses and contract costs. For the current period, these projected fixed gas expenses
are $85.1 million.
What is the status of the Company's recovery from the U.S. Department of Energy
("DOE") for spent nuclear fuel storage mentioned in the 2014 Fuel Factor?
In the 2014 Fuel Factor, the Company included approximately $21 million on a Virginia
jurisdictional basis of expected settlement payments as a reduction to projected system
fuel expense. Through January 2015, the Company has received approximately $16
million of the $21 million noted above, and expects to receive the remaining $5 million
during the 2015 2016 fuel year. For the upcoming current period, the Company is
including projected settlement payments totaling approximately $11 million on a Virginia
jurisdictional basis by June 2016, as Company Witness John C. Ingram discusses. These
additional fuel-related payments from the DOE during the current period are for
additional claims related to storage of spent nuclear fuel at the Company's North Anna
and Surry Power Stations.
Do you have any other schedules relating to the current period?
Yes. Confidential Schedule 6 shows the forecasted fuel consumption (in MBtu), by

month and by unit. Confidential Schedule 7 shows the forecasted heat rates for the
thermal generating units, also by month and by unit. Finally, Schedule 8 shows the
projected fuel cost information for February to June 2015 - i.e., the remainder of the prior
period (July 1,2014 to June 30, 2015) - for which there are not yet actual results.
Is there any new capacity that will become available during the remainder of the
prior period or during the current period?
Yes. The 1,329 MW Warren County combined-cycle unit was brought online in
December 2014 as scheduled. The 1,358 MW Brunswick County gas-fired combined
cycle station is expected to be operational in May 2016. This plant will employ state-of
the-art technology and will further strengthen the fuel diversity of the Company's
generation fleet. In addition, the Possum Point Unit 6 gas-fired combined-cycle will be
uprated by 27 MW in May 2015.
U. HISTORICAL PERIOD DISCUSSION
What were the Company's monthly energy requirements and sales volumes for the
most recent 12-month historical period?
System energy requirements and sales volumes for that period are shown on Schedule 9,
which provides data for the period February 2014 January 2015.
Please explain the Company's fuel expense for the historical period.
Schedule 10 shows a system level monthly summary of the actual supply volumes
(MWh), supply costs ($000), and average cost ($/MWh), by supply type, for the period
February 2014 - January 2015.

Please explain the Company's fuel recovery position for the prior period.
As shown by Company Witness Anderson, the year-end fuel recovery through June 30,
2015 is expected to be an under-recovery of approximately $21.9 million. This value
includes a write-off of $85.4 million which is one-half of the deferral balance as of
December 31,2014.
What are the main factors that contributed to the fuel expense recovery position
during the prior period?
After March 2014, the weather was milder and commodity prices were lower than
expected. This resulted in an over-recovery of$84 million through January, 2015 which

of$21.9 million. This includes an estimated $83.5 million fuel impact for the cold
weather in February 2015.
Do you have any other schedules relating to the historical period?
Yes. Confidential Schedule 11 shows unit availability information, planned outage dates,
and capacity factors of the thermal generating units over the historical period. Confidential
Schedule 12 shows the actual fuel (in MBtu) consumed by month and by unit, and
Confidential Schedule 13 shows monthly unit equivalent forced outage rates. Confidential
Schedule 14 shows monthly unit heat rates, while Confidential Schedule 15 contains
information about abnormal operating events that occurred during the historical period.
Does this conclude your pre-filed direct testimony?
Yes, it does.

DIRECT TESTIMONYOF
GREGORY A. WORKMANON BEHALF OF
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANYBEFORE THE
STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION OF VIRGINIACASE NO. PUE-2015-00022
Please state your name, business address, and position of employment.
My name is Gregory A. Workman, and my business address is 120 Tredegar Street,
Richmond, Virginia 23219. I am the Director-Fuels and have the responsibility of fuel
procurement for Virginia Electric and Power Company ("Dominion Virginia Power" or
the "Company"). The Dominion Fuels group handles the procurement, scheduling,
transportation, and inventory management for coal, natural gas, oil, and biomass
consumed at the Company's power stations. A statement of my background and
qualifications is attached as Appendix A.
What is the purpose of your testimony in this proceeding?
I will discuss the Company's fossil fuel procurement practices, as well as any recent
changes to those practices for delivery of fuels to the Company's fossil generation fleet.
Such procurement practices impact the forward calculation of the Company's system fuel
expenses, which Company Witness Glenn A. Kelly has incorporated in his fuel expense
projections for both the prior (July 1,2014 to June 30, 2015) and current (July 1,2015 to
June 30, 2016) fuel factor periods.
My testimony is divided into five sections. The first section will discuss the overall fuel
markets, and Section II will cover coal procurement and coal contracts. Section III will
address natural gas procurement and transportation, while Section IV will discuss the
2

Q.
Company's oil procurement methods. Finally, Section V will discuss the procurement of
biomass (i.e., wood chips) as fuel for consumption at the Company's power stations.
SECTION IFUEL MARKETS
Please discuss the trends that affected commodity markets during the period of July
2014 through January 2015.

Coal prices continue to decline, despite power plant coal inventories being less than the
historical five-year average. Historically, lower inventories would tend to push coal
prices higher. However, coal markets have been fundamentally changed due to the
unprecedented productivity witnessed in the shale gas production regions. The abundant
availability of competitively priced shale gas provides economic incentive for utilities to
switch fuels from coal to natural gas. This phenomenon results in lower coal demand for
power generation. In addition, a weak export market for both thermal and metallurgical
coal has increased coal supplies for domestic power generation. The combination of
coal-to-gas fuel switching and weak export markets have driven coal supplies higher,
thereby reducing prices.
Natural gas prices have declined significantly. This is attributed to a continued increase
in gas production, particularly from the Marcellus shale region. Lower natural gas prices
will favor gas-fired power generation, putting downward pressure on coal prices.
The significant decline in No.2 and No.6 oil prices is the direct result of falling crude oil
prices in global markets. Increased production from domestic shale oil production as
well as OPEC's recent decisions not to reduce production have led to a worldwide

oversupply of oil and petroleum products. As a result, West Texas Intermediate crude
prices have dropped to well below $50/bbl, a pricing level not seen since 2009.
SECTIONHCOAL PROCUREMENT
Please discuss the Company's coal procurement practices.
The Company employs a multi-year coal physical hedge procurement plan to ensure a
reliable supply of coal at competitive prices. This is accomplished by procuring the
Company's long-term coal requirements primarily under periodic solicitations and
secondarily on the open market for its short-term or spot needs. In addition to the
contracts executed as a result of normal solicitations, the Company continually evaluates
prevailing market conditions and may enter into other transactions if conditions are
favorable. The effect of procuring both long- and short-term provides a layering in of
contracts with staggered terms and blended prices. This ensures a reliable supply of fuel
with limited exposure to dramatic market price swings.
How is coal delivered to the Company's generating facilities?
The Company utilizes a combination of train and truck transportation to supply fuel to its
coal fired generating stations. The Clover Power Station, Mecklenburg Power Station,
Mt. Storm Power Station, Chesterfield Power Station, and Yorktown Power Station
receive coal via rail delivery. Mt. Storm also receives a portion of its coal deliveries via
truck, while truck coal comprises 100% of coal deliveries to the Virginia City Hybrid
Energy Center ("VCHEC").

SECTION IIIGAS PROCUREMENT
Please discuss the Company's gas procurement practices.
With the addition of Warren County Power Station and Bremo Power Station to the gas-
fired generation fleet in 2014, the Company transitioned from a predominantly day-ahead
procurement approach to a program that includes day-ahead, monthly, and seasonal
purchases. Similar to our coal procurement practices, the Company utilizes periodic
solicitations and the open market to procure physical gas to meet station requirements.
The Company also entertains and evaluates opportunities as market conditions change.
The Company evaluates its diverse portfolio of pipeline and storage contracts to
determine the most reliable and economical delivered fuel options available for each
power station. This portfolio of gas transportation contracts provides access to multiple
natural gas supply points from the Gulf region to the Marcellus shale region. In addition,
the Company actively participates in the interstate pipeline capacity release and physical
supply markets as well as longer-term, pipeline expansion projects that will augment the
transportation portfolio and enhance reliability at a reasonable cost.
Does the Company currently have a price hedging program?
Yes, the Company has historically followed its Marginal Fuel Hedging Program for
natural gas and purchased power. Under this program, the Company has hedged natural
gas using 25% of the forecasted volumes during the summer and winter months in the
low load case. In addition, the Company has hedged on-peak power using the forecasted
volumes for all 12 months in the low load case. As discussed by Company Witness
Steven A. Rogers, the Company intends to increase natural gas price hedging levels to

20% to 50% of forecasted volumes in the first year of a three-year period. Purchased
power volumes are expected to gradually decrease, but the Company will continue to
financially hedge a portion of these volumes when beneficial for customers.
SECTION IVOIL PROCUREMENT
Please discuss the Company's oil procurement practices.
The Company purchases its No.2 fuel oil and No.6 oil requirements on the spot market,
and optimizes its inventory, storage, and transportation to ensure reliable supply to its
power generating facilities. Trucks, vessels, barges, and pipelines are employed to
transport oil to the Company's stations and third-party storage locations. The Company
utilizes its own storage and third-party storage to ensure a reliable supply of oil, and to
mitigate the price risk associated with these potentially volatile products.
SECTION VBIOMASS PROCUREMENT
Please discuss the Company's biomass procurement practices.
The Company currently procures the majority of its wood chips and other woody material
for four biomass-fired plants (the Altavista and Pittsylvania Power Stations in the Central
Region, and the Hopewell and Southampton Power Stations in the Eastern Region) via
long-term contracts with two suppliers. Procurement for the Company's VCHEC facility
in the Western Region is conducted via short-term contracts with various suppliers. All
five biomass consuming plants receive wood deliveries via truck.
Does this conclude your pre-filed direct testimony?
Yes, it does.

DIRECT TESTIMONYOF
TOM A. BROOKMIREON BEHALF OF
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANYBEFORE THE
STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION OF VIRGINIACASE NO. PUE-2015-00022
Please state your name, business address, and position of employment.
My name is Tom A. Brookmire and I am the Supervisor of Nuclear Fuel Procurement.
My business address is 5000 Dominion Boulevard, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060. I am
responsible for activities pertaining to nuclear fuel procurement, nuclear fuel-related
project management, long-term nuclear spent fuel disposal, and nuclear fuel price
forecasting and budgeting used by Virginia Electric and Power Company ("Dominion
Virginia Power" or the "Company"). A statement of my background and qualifications is
attached as Appendix A.

The purpose of my testimony is to review the Company's actual and projected nuclear
fuel costs for the prior period fuel factor of July 1,2014 through June 30, 2015, and to
provide projections for the current period of July 1,2015 through June 30, 2016. Section
I of my testimony will discuss the components of the Company's nuclear fuel costs, and
Section II will discuss the Company's nuclear fuel expense rates.
What is your responsibility in the development of the Company's fuel factor?
I am responsible for projecting the Company's nuclear fuel prices, which become the
basis for its projected nuclear fuel expense rates. These rates, along with projected costs
for interim spent fuel storage, are transmitted to the Generation System Planning group

for use in calculating the Company's fuel factor and system fuel expenses.
During the course of your testimony, will you introduce an exhibit?
Yes. Company Exhibit No. __, TAB, consisting of Schedules 1 through 3, was
prepared under my supervision and direction, and is accurate and complete to the best of
my knowledge and belief.
SECTION ICHANGES IN NUCLEAR FUEL COST
What are the major components of nuclear fuel expense?
Nuclear fuel expenses include the amortized value of the cost for uranium, along with
required conversion, enrichment, and fabrication services (collectively called "front-end
components"). In addition, there are expenses for interim spent fuel dry storage.
Historically, there has also been the federal government's one mill/kWh charge for the
disposal of spent nuclear fuel. I will discuss the current status of this one mill/kWh
charge in Section II of my testimony.
What are the current market conditions for the front-end components?
The nuclear fuel market has softened considerably in the past five years. This is largely
due to the devastating Japanese earthquake and tsunami of March 2011. But there have
been other factors influencing this trend as well, such as clear reductions in demand (e.g.,
Germany's decision to permanently shut down eight reactors and the closing of several
U.S. reactors). There have also been some reductions in supply (e.g., postponement and
deferral of new mines and mine capacity expansions along with delays in planned
increases in uranium enrichment capacity) which have, in part, offset some of the
downward trend in demand. China continues to aggressively build new reactors, with
2

approximately 30 plants currently under construction and six to eleven that may come on
line in 2015.

The price for conversion services has also dropped significantly on the spot market due to
reduced near-term demand, while long-term prices have remained high due to concern
over the lack of investment in new conversion production facilities, and the possibility for
shortfalls in capacity longer-term. The cost for enrichment services appears to have
stabilized after a steady decline due to reduced demand and the addition of new centrifuge
capacity in Europe and the U.S. Domestic trends in fabrication prices continue to be
difficult to measure because there is no active spot market, but the general consensus is
that costs will continue to increase due to regulatory requirements, reduced competition,
and new reactor demand both in the U.S. and abroad.
12

14
Several reactors in Japan are likely to restart in 2015, which is likely to have some short
term price lift on front-end components. The timing and extent of other reactor restarts in
Japan remains uncertain.
Have these changes in market costs impacted the Company's projected near-term
costs?
Yes, but not significantly. The Company's current mix of longer-term front-end
component contracts has reduced its exposure to the market price escalation and volatility
that has occurred over the past several years. In addition, because the Company's nuclear
plants replace about one-third of their fuel on an 18-month schedule, there is a delay
before the full effect of any significant changes in a component price is seen in the plant
operating costs. However, in addition to some higher-priced legacy contracts, the

Company has been active in the market and has some market-based contracts allowing it
to take advantage of current lower prices.
SECTION IINUCLEAR FUEL
Please describe how you develop the Company's nuclear fuel expense rates.
The calculation of nuclear fuel expense rates, expressed in mills per kilowatt-hour
("mills/kWh"), is based on expected plant operating cycles and the overall cost of nuclear
fuel. As previously noted, front-end component costs include those for uranium, along
with those for the conversion, enrichment, and fabrication services. These costs are
amortized over the estimated energy production life of the nuclear fuel as provided by the
Company's Generation System Planning group. Rear-end costs include, in prior periods,
the federal government's charge of one mill/kWh on net nuclear generation sold, which is
intended to cover the eventual disposal cost of spent nuclear fuel in a federal repository.
You stated earlier in your testimony that you would discuss the status of the one
mill/kWh fee charged by the federal government for spent nuclear fuel disposal.
Please provide an update regarding the status of this fee.
On November 19,2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
issued a decision on the legal challenge brought by the Nuclear Energy Institute and the
National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners ("NARUC") to the one
mill/kWh waste fee that operating nuclear plants pay quarterly into the Nuclear Waste
Fund. The court ordered the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") to submit to Congress
a proposal (as is required under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act) that the fee be changed to
zero, unless and until there is a viable disposal program. The DOE petitioned the court to

rehear this decision, but the court denied this request.
Notwithstanding, the DOE submitted a proposal to Congress in January 2014 to change
this one mill/kWh fee to zero. This relief is industry-wide and applies to all operating
reactors, including the Company's operating reactors at Surry and North Anna. The
processes specified in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act for adjustment of the fee have now
been completed, and as of May 16, 2014, the Company is no longer required to pay the
waste fee.
Can the waste fee collected by the federal government be reinstated?
Yes, it can. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act allows the Secretary of Energy to review fee
adequacy on an annual basis. It is likely that at some point in the future when a viable
waste disposal program is established by DOE, the Secretary will develop an adjustment
to the waste fee that ensures full cost recovery for the life cycle of such a program. Any
proposed adjustment to the fee will again need to be submitted to Congress for review for
a period of 90 consecutive session days. If and when a fee adjustment becomes effective,
the Company will again become obligated to make the fee payment, and will again seek
to recover payments for the assessed fee in its fuel factor.
What other items are included in the Company's nuclear fuel cost?
One other item included is the cost associated with interim spent fuel dry storage. For the
current period, the cost of interim spent fuel storage is included in the Company's
Forecasted System Fuel Expense. See Company Exhibit No. _, OAK, Schedule 2, page
20f3.

How does your previous forecast of the Company's nuclear fuel expense rates
compare to the actual rates?
Schedule 1 shows this comparison using actual figures for the period July 1, 2014 through
January 31, 2015, and estimated figures for the period February 1,2015 through June 30,
2015. Actual nuclear fuel expense rates were 1.07% lower than forecasted.

What are the projections for the Company's nuclear fuel expense rates?
The Company's monthly nuclear fuel expense rate projections for the combined front-end
components and rear-end costs are shown on my Schedule 2. These projected rates are
2.1% higher than the actual prior period rates shown in Schedule 3.
Does this conclude your pre-filed direct testimony?
Yes, it does.

My name is Alan L. Meekins and I am Director of Electric Market Operations for
Virginia Electric and Power Company ("Dominion Virginia Power" or the "Company").
My business address is 5000 Dominion Boulevard, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060. A
statement of my background and qualifications is attached as Appendix A.
What are your responsibilities as Director of Electric Market Operations?
I am responsible for the Company's electric wholesale operations, including energy
procurement and generation unit commitment and dispatch. In performing these duties,
my staff and I have day-to-day responsibilities for interaction with PJM Interconnection,
L.L.C. ("PJM"), the regional transmission organization or entity ("RTO") of which the
Company is a member, regarding day-ahead ("DA") and real-time ("RT") energy market
operations activities.
What is the purpose of your testimony in this proceeding?
I will discuss the Company's economy energy purchases from PJM, which are a
component of our overall system-wide fuel expenses, and I will explain how these
purchases contribute to reducing the Company's fuel costs.

Please describe the coordination of the Company's operations in the PJM wholesale
markets.
Among the responsibilities of my group is the managing of the Company's interactions
with PJM related to generation unit operations, day-ahead bidding, and real-time
dispatch, as well as load serving entity ("LSE") requirements such as load procurement.
The Market Operations group supplies generating unit availability and cost data to PJM
each morning before noon for the next operating day. Simultaneously, we submit our
hourly load procurement profile based on forecasted need for the same period. PJM's
economic dispatch model determines the least cost means of satisfying demand, operating
reserves and other ancillary services, and the reliability requirements of the RTO. The
result of this model includes the day-ahead energy awards for our generating units and
the hourly prices.
During the operating day, the Market Operations staff further interfaces with PJM's
operations staff indirectly through PJM' s energy management information system, as
well as directly through voice communications. The Market Operations group also
communicates dispatch instructions to the plants through the Company's energy
management system and by verbal instructions. For calendar year 2014, the Company
continued to be a net buyer of economy energy from the PJM market.
Please describe the nature of these net economy energy purchases and how they
arise.
As presented by Company Witness Glenn A. Kelly, for the 12-month historical period of
February 1,2014 through January 31, 2015, the Company purchased approximately 7.1
million MWh of net economy energy from PJM at an overall cost of approximately $383

million. These net economy energy purchases from PJM result from the Company's
participation in PJM's DA and RT energy markets. The Company's Market Operations
staff works to optimize the commitment of the Company's fleet of generating units with
the PJM market to minimize the Company's cost to serve its load requirements.
Does the Company measure the benefit of the economy energy purchases that it
makes from PJM?
Yes, the Company uses the PJM energy markets to minimize costs, but also studies and
measures outcomes in the PJM markets to ensure that it continues to achieve
economically efficient outcomes for customers. One of the measures that we perform is
an evaluation of the economic benefit of our DA economy purchases. For calendar year
2014, the Company net purchased 5.2 million MWh ofDA energy from PJM at a savings
of approximately $109 million. These savings represent the difference in cost between
buying DA economy energy needs from PJM and generating an equivalent amount of
energy completely from our own fleet of generating resources.
Does this conclude your pre-filed direct testimony?
Yes, it does.

DIRECT TESTIMONYOF
JOHN C. INGRAMON BEHALF OF
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANYBEFORE THE
STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION OF VIRGINIACASE NO. PUE-2015-00022
Please state your name, business address, and position of employment.
My name is John C. Ingram, and my business address is 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond,
Virginia 23219. I am a Director of Accounting for Dominion Generation, which includes
responsibility for Virginia Electric and Power Company ("Dominion Virginia Power" or
the "Company"). My responsibilities include overseeing personnel responsible for
recording the Company's actual fuel and purchased power expenses, as well as any
under-lover-recovery of such expenses through the fuel deferral mechanism. A statement
of my background and qualifications is attached as Appendix A.
What is the purpose of your testimony in this proceeding?
I will present the Virginia jurisdictional fuel expenses incurred by the Company during
the period July 1,2014 through January 31, 2015, as well as the status of the Company's
fuel deferral balances as of January 31, 2015. In addition, I will (1) discuss the status of
the deferred fuel balances associated with the 24-month extended recovery period
("mitigation proposal") approved in Case No. PUE-2014-00033 (the "2014 Fuel Factor");
(2) sponsor a proposed modification to the text of the Definitional Framework for Fuel
Expenses ("Definitional Framework") to explicitly re-affirm that derivative gains and
losses, including option premiums, associated with financial hedging activities are
includable in recoverable fuel expenses; and (3) provide updates on the Company's

recovery of costs associated with spent nuclear fuel storage from the U.S. Department of
Energy ("DOE").
During the course of your testimony, will you introduce an exhibit?
Yes. Company Exhibit No. _, JCI, consisting of Schedules 1 through 4, was prepared
under my supervision and direction, and is accurate and complete to the best of my
knowledge and belief. Schedule 4 presents the proposed modification to the Definitional
Framework.
What were the Company's actual Virginia jurisdictional fuel expenses incurred
during the seven-month period ending January 31, 2015?
Schedule 1, Column 2 shows $1,010,725,087 of cumulative booked fuel expenses on a
Virginia jurisdictional basis from July 1,2014 through January 31, 2015.
Is 75% of the Company's total annual margins from off-system sales being credited
against fuel factor expenses as required by Va. Code § 56-249.6 D I?
Yes, it is. The Company's profit margin from off-system sales for the period July 1,
2014 through January 31, 2015 was $1,546,842. Based upon this statutory 75% sharing
mechanism, the Virginia jurisdictional allocated share of the margin applied against fuel
factor expenses was $914,686, and is incorporated in Schedule 1, Column 1. Schedule 3
presents more detail regarding the calculation and breakdown of these off-system sales
amounts, as well as shared margins for February 1,2014 through June 30, 2014.

What is the Company's deferred fuel balance as of January 31, 2015 for the 2014
2015 fuel year?
Schedule 1, Column 6 shows the actual Virginia jurisdictional fuel expense over-recovery
balance totaling $84,331,878 as of January 31, 2015.
What was the prior period deferred fuel balance as of the end of the 2013-2014 fuel
year and how much of that balance has now been collected?
The prior period deferred fuel balance as of June 30, 2014 was an under-recovery of
$234,533,019 as shown in Schedule 2, Column 1. During the seven-month period
beginning July 1,2014, $76,937,214 was collected as shown in Schedule 2, Column 2,
and a prior period adjustment of$537,716 was booked as shown in Schedule 2, Column
3, resulting in an under-recovery balance of$158,133,521 as of January 31,2015. Later
in my testimony I will discuss the status of deferred balances associated with the
mitigation proposal and the impact thereon of Senate Bill 1349, which was recently
enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia during its 2015 Regular Session and signed
into law by Governor McAuliffe on February 24,2015 ("Senate Bill 1349,,).1
What was the Company's deferred fuel balance for the period April 1, 2014 through
June 30, 2014?

Under the mitigation proposal, the Company proposed to recover its projected June 30,
2014 deferred fuel balance of$267.8 million over two years - 50% during the 2014-2015
fuel year and 50% during the 2015-2016 fuel year. The Commission approved this
proposal.
Senate Bill 1349 requires the Company to forgo recovery of 50% of the prior period June
30,2014 deferral balance that has not already been recovered as of December 31, 2014.
As presented in Schedule 2, Column 4, that unrecovered balance was $170,773,642,
resulting in a write-off of $85,386,821. As a result, the Company's projected June 30,
2015 deferred fuel over-recovery balance and accompanying rate calculations, described
by Company Witnesses Glenn A. Kelly and Edward J. Anderson, will exclude any
recovery of this written-off amount.

Also, as I described in my testimony in the Company's 2014 Fuel Factor, amounts
relating to the mitigation proposal do not include any financing costs and no financing
costs are included for recovery in this fuel factor proceeding. Furthermore, base rates
will not increase as a result of the mitigation proposal, as any incremental financing costs
related to the mitigation proposal will be excluded from base rate cost of service in future
earnings review proceedings and borne by the Company.
Now turning to the Company's recently filed Fuel Procurement Strategy Report,
please summarize how an environment of increasing gas consumption and related
gas costs, as described therein, is expected to affect the Company's financial hedging
efforts and how such costs are treated in fuel expense.
On January 30, 2015, the Company filed its first annual Fuel Procurement Strategy
Report ("Report") pursuant to the Commission's Order in the 2014 Fuel Factor. Among
other things, this Report provides a summary of the Company's historical financial
hedging results and a discussion of its current and anticipated fuel procurement and price
hedging plans (the "Fuel Procurement Strategy"). The Fuel Procurement Strategy was
designed with an emphasis on satisfying the rapid rise in natural gas requirements
associated with the new fleet of combined cycle units and accompanying impacts on
other commodities and purchased power. As described in the Report, the Company
intends to meet its increasing fuel requirements using a combination of longer-term
natural gas supply contracts and spot purchases. For those purchase transactions that
continue to involve price risk, such as spot purchases of natural gas and purchased power,
the Company plans to continue using derivative instruments to financially hedge a certain
portion of those volumes.

While the Company has financially hedged a portion of its natural gas requirements and
purchased power transactions for several years now, the sheer volume of natural gas
purchases is projected to increase substantially as the new combined-cycle units come on
line. As a result, the aggregate level of dollar exposure to derivative gains and losses is
expected to increase as a direct result of financially hedging a higher notional value of
physical purchases. Furthermore, the Company also intends to continue its practice of
mitigating the price volatility for a portion of projected purchased power costs as well,
though to a lesser degree when compared to prior years.
Are you sponsoring a proposed modification to the Definitional Framework in this
case to address the Company's planned financial hedging activities?
Yes, I am sponsoring a modification to the text of the Definitional Framework to
explicitly reaffirm that derivative gains and losses, including option premiums, incurred
to financially hedge purchased commodities pursuant to the Company's Fuel
Procurement Strategy for the benefit of customers shall be included in costs recoverable
under the fuel factor, as shown on my Schedule 4.
Why does the Definitional Framework need to explicitly provide for the use of
derivative instruments for financial hedging purposes?
For most types of fuel costs, the text of the Definitional Framework does not explicitly
reference particular types of costs to be recovered through the fuel factor. Rather,
includable costs are inferred by reference to specific FERC inventory and fuel expense
accounts. As a result, includable costs are largely defined by the FERC accounting
instructions that describe what charges are allowable in those specific accounts.
Additionally, there are instances where includable costs are not explicitly written into the

Definitional Framework nor addressed in the FERC accounts, but have been approved in
prior fuel orders, such as the inclusion in fuel expense of interim nuclear fuel storage
costs and all settlements related to PJM financial transmission rights.
As for derivative gains or losses resulting from financial hedging transactions, the
Definitional Framework does not explicitly list them as includable costs. However,
pursuant to FERC accounting instructions, such derivative gains or losses should be
recorded to those specific FERC accounts referenced in the Definitional Framework to
the extent that the derivatives receive special "hedge accounting treatment" - as a hedge
of the physical fuel purchases recorded in those accounts.
Cash flow hedge accounting is a particular accounting treatment for derivative activity
that matches the derivative's gain or loss with the cost of the physical transaction that it is
intended to hedge based on certain accounting criteria. Generally, for derivatives not
receiving this accounting treatment ("economic hedges"), FERC accounting instructions
require that activity to be recorded in accounts that are not referenced in the Definitional
Framework. That being said, these economic hedges may be presented in the FERC fuel
related accounts if they are evaluated together with the physical transactions by the
Company's regulators for fuel accounting and ratemaking purposes.
While most all of the Company's historical derivative gains and losses have received
cash flow hedge accounting treatment, it is possible that derivatives employed in future
financial hedging transactions may not qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. I discuss
reasons how this is so further in my testimony, As noted by Company Witness Steven A.
Rogers, these financial hedges are entered into for the purpose of providing customer

benefit in the form ofrate stability, and that objective is met even if the accounting
requirements for cash flow hedge accounting have not been met or maintained.
Therefore, now is the time to explicitly reaffirm in the text of the Definitional Framework
that derivative gains or losses, including option premiums, related to these financial
hedge transactions are considered to be costs recoverable in the fuel factor.
What is cash flow hedge accounting and why is it not the proper determinant of
whether a financial hedge should be included in the fuel factor?
Simply put, designating a derivative or combination of derivatives as a cash flow hedge
for accounting purposes means that the derivatives have been specifically identified, in
writing, as being highly capable of offsetting the price risk of forecasted future
transactions - in this case, the purchase of fuel commodities such as natural gas and
purchased power. Achieving cash flow hedge accounting allows the deferral of
derivative gains and losses to be matched in expense with the future market-based
commodity purchase when it is recorded in expense for financial reporting purposes. The
net result is the hedged price being reflected in expense. Hedge accounting rules include
strict criteria which require that the forecasted commodity purchases remain probable of
occurring during the entire term the derivatives are outstanding, and that the derivatives'
fair values move in a very highly correlated fashion relative to the market price changes
of the forecasted commodity purchases. Compliance with these criteria is evaluated at
the inception of the derivative transaction and during its tenure through settlement. A
cash flow hedge would be "de-designated" from hedge accounting if, at some point, it
fails to meet the strict price correlation requirements, or if the derivative volumes exceed
forecasted or actual purchased volumes (i.e., an over-hedged position).

As Company Witness Rogers describes, all of the Company's financial hedging activities
with respect to fuel and power purchases represent prudent economic measures
undertaken with the objective of promoting rate stability for the benefit of customers.
Therefore, even in cases where cash flow hedge accounting may not be met or
maintained, such derivative transactions are still executed in the interest of customers and
should be specifically included in fuel expense and referenced in the text of the
Definitional Framework. As noted in the Report and discussed by Company Witness
Rogers, approval of this Definitional Framework modification is an important factor for
the Company in establishing the scope and nature of any financial hedging that it will
undertake in the future.
Beyond derivative gains and losses, including option premiums, are there any other
types of costs associated with financial hedging activities that the Company intends
to seek recovery for in this fuel proceeding, with an accompanying Definitional
Framework modification?
No, the Company is not including references to any other types of costs in its proposed
Definitional Framework modification, nor is the Company seeking fuel recovery of any
such costs in this filing. As I describe further below, there are transaction costs currently
recovered in base rates that, by their nature, should be eligible for fuel recovery.
Transaction costs are those incremental expenses incurred directly as a result of executing
the underlying derivative instruments. To date, these expenses have primarily included
broker, exchange and financing fees. The inclusion of transaction costs in the fuel factor
would be consistent with similar transaction costs that are incurred for the procurement of
the underlying physical commodities and already included in recoverable fuel expense

under the current Definitional Framework.
However, as base rates will not change for the next several years under Senate Bill 1349,
the Company will not seek to recover any of these transaction costs through fuel for years
in which base rates remain frozen. Following the end of the Transitional Rate Period
described in Senate Bill 1349, it is possible that the Company may seek to re-address this
issue. Option premiums, on the other hand, have historically been and should continue to
be recovered in fuel rates.
What types of costs associated with financial hedging activities would not be
included in recoverable fuel expense, by their nature?
The Company may incur directly, or through an affiliate, other types of costs that are
indirect or fixed in nature, such as internal or affiliated labor, general and administrative,
depreciation, and interest expenses. Although these costs are related to the fuel
procurement and financial hedging processes, along with the required infrastructure
established to carryon such activities, they do not arise as a direct result of the execution
of transactions and therefore are more appropriately recovered in base rates. This is
consistent with similar expenses that are incurred for the procurement of the underlying
physical commodities, but excluded from recoverable fuel expense under the current
Definitional Framework. The Company is currently recovering all infrastructure costs
arising from fuel procurement and financial hedging activities in base rates.
Please provide an update on the status of the Company's recovery of costs
associated with spent nuclear fuel storage from the DOE.
In November 2012, the Company and the DOE entered into a settlement agreement for

resolution of the Company's claim for costs incurred during the period July 1, 2006
through December 31, 2010, and periodic payments for claims after that date through
2013. In January 2014, the settlement agreement was extended to provide for periodic
payments for damages incurred through December 31, 2016. A settlement payment of
approximately $27 million for costs incurred for the period January 1,2011 through
December 31, 2012 was received in July 2014. The portion of this payment allocable to
Virginia jurisdictional customers' fuel expense was approximately $16 million and was
credited to fuel expense at that time. As described by Mr. Kelly, during the 2015-2016
fuel year, the Company has included in its forecast the projected receipt of approximately
$11 million from the DOE, on a Virginia jurisdictional basis, related to further claims
regarding spent nuclear fuel storage for the periods January 1, 2013 through December
31,2013 and January 1,2014 through December 31, 2014.
Does this conclude your pre-filed direct testimony?
Yes, it does.

VIRGINIA STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION 'SDEFINITIONAL FRAMEWORK OF FUEL EXPENSESFOR VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY
a. The cost of fossil fuels shall be those items initially charged to account 151 and cleared toaccounts 501, 518 and 547 on the basis of fuel used. In those instances where a fuelstock account (151) is not maintained, e.g., gas for combustion turbines , the amount shallbe based on the cost of fuel consumed and entered in account 547.
b. The cost of nuclear fuel shall be the amount contained in account 518, excluding leasefinance charges, except that if account 518 also contains any expense for fossil fuelwhich has already been included in the cost of fossil fuel, it shall be deducted from thisaccount.
c. Total energy costs associated with purchased power and charged to account 555 shall berecoverable as fuel costs.
d. The commodity costs referenced in items a., b., and c. above shall include gains orlosses, including option premiums, arising from the use of derivative instruments associatedwith such commodities.
~tl . Energy revenues associated with off-system sales and recorded in account 447 shall becredited against fuel factor expenses in an amount equal to the total incremental fuelfactor costs incurred in the production and delivery of such sales. In addition , seventyfive percent (75%) of the total accumulated energy margins from off-system sales shall becredited against fuel factor expenses annually. In the event such accumulated energymargins result in a net loss, no charges shall be made to fuel factor expenses. Energymargin is defined as the total energy revenue received from an off-system salestransaction less the total incremental costs incurred in supplying that sale.
fe. The Company shall be permitted to credit energy revenues associated with DisplacedRetail Access Sales against fuel factor expenses in an amount equal to the average fuelfactor. No energy margin associated with the sale of the Displaced Retail AccessSales should be credited against fuel factor expenses.
gf. All refunds of fuel costs resulting from overcharges, late delivery, or any other reasonand all recoveries and adjustments of whatever nature affecting the price of fuel shall bepassed on through these proceedings.
hg. Company shall be permitted to adjust for system losses through development of a fuelfactor based upon fuel costs divided by sales through the application of a separatelyderived loss factor applied to a fuel factor based on net energy requirements.

DIRECT TESTIMONYOF
EDWARD J. ANDERSONON BEHALF OF
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANYBEFORE THE
STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION OF VIRGINIACASE NO. PUE-2015-00022
Please state your name, business address, and position of employment.
My name is Edward J. Anderson. My business address is 701 East Cary Street,
Richmond, Virginia 23219. My title is Regulatory Advisor for Virginia Electric and
Power Company ("Dominion Virginia Power" or the "Company"). A statement of my
background and qualifications is attached as Appendix A.
What is the purpose of your testimony in this proceeding?
My testimony presents the calculation of the proposed total fuel factor to be effective
April 1, 2015, on an interim basis, to comply with the directives of Senate Bill 1349,
which was recently enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia during its 2015 Regular
Session and signed into law by Governor McAuliffe on February 24, 2015 ("Senate Bill
1349").1 The Company is requesting a total fuel factor of $0.02406/kWh to become
effective for usage on and after April 1,2015 through June 30, 2016, on an interim basis.
The impact of Senate Bill 1349 and the request to implement the fuel factor reduction on
an accelerated basis is addressed more fully in the Application and the testimony of
Company Witness Steven A. Rogers. Implementation of the proposed total fuel factor
will result in a fuel revenue decrease over the period April 1, 2015-June 30, 2016 of
approximately $512.3 million.
12015 Virginia Acts of Assembly, Ch. 6, Enactment Clause 2 (approved February 24, 2015; effective July 1,2015).

During the course of your testimony, will you introduce an exhibit?
Yes. Company Exhibit No. __, EJA, consisting of Schedules 1 through 9, was
prepared under my supervision and direction, and is accurate and complete to the best of
my knowledge and belief.
Please explain the various components that make up the Company's proposed total
fuel factor rate to be effective April 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, on an interim
basis.
The proposed total fuel factor, Fuel Charge Rider A, consists of both a current period and
a prior period factor. Fuel Charge Rider A's current period factor of $0.02374/kWh is
designed to recover the Company's estimated Virginia jurisdictional fuel expenses of
approximately $1.6 billion for the period July 1,2015 through June 30, 2016.
Fuel Charge Rider A's prior period factor of$0.00032/kWh is designed to recover
approximately $21.9 million, which is the net of two projected June 30, 2015 balances:
(1) The projected June 30, 2015 over-recovery balance of approximately $24.0
million associated with recovery of the July 1,2014 through June 30, 2015 current period
expense;
(2) The projected June 30, 2015 under-recovery balance of approximately $45.9
million associated with recovery of the remaining January 31, 2015 prior period expense
to be recovered through June 30, 2015.
Do you have a schedule that shows the fuel factor expenses that the Company
expects to incur during the period July 1,2014 through June 30, 2015?
Yes. Schedule 1 shows estimated system fuel factor expenses in Column 1 (as provided

in Company Exhibit No. _, GAK Schedule 2, Page 2 of 3), allocated to the Virginia
jurisdiction for the current period shown in Column 3.
Do you have a schedule that shows the calculation of the current period factor of
Fuel Charge Rider A?
Yes. Schedule 2 shows the calculation of the current period factor. The total Virginia
jurisdictional estimated fuel factor expense of approximately $1.6 billion was divided by
the total estimated Virginia jurisdictional kWh sales for July I, 2015 through June 30,
2016. The result is the current period factor of$0.02374/kWh.
Do you have a schedule that shows the estimated recovery of the proposed current
period factor?
This is shown on Schedule 3. Estimated Virginia jurisdictional fuel factor expenses by
month from July 1,2015 through June 30, 2016 are compared to estimated monthly
Virginia jurisdictional fuel revenues by month, and the estimated resulting over- or
under-recoveries of fuel expenses for each month are shown.
Please describe the development of the prior period factor.
In order to develop the proposed prior period factor, we must first estimate the
Company's projected June 30, 2015 deferral balance.
To do so, we must first determine the projected June 30, 2015 balance associated with the
present current period expenses. The estimated system fuel expenses allocated to the
Virginia jurisdiction for the period February 1 through June 30, 2015 are calculated and
shown on my Schedule 4.

Schedule 5, Row 1, contains the January 31, 2015 actual current period deferral balance
of approximately ($84.3) million and the actual prior period deferral balance of
approximately $72.7 million (assuming 50% of the December 31, 2014 deferral
balancer), as explained by Company Witness John C. Ingram. Estimated February
through June 2015 Virginia jurisdictional sales were obtained from Company Witness
Glenn A. Kelly.
Column 10 shows the Company's total June 30, 2015 projected net balance of
approximately $21.9 million associated with the current and prior period assuming April
1, 2015 implementation of the proposed current and prior period factors in this case.
Schedule 6 shows the calculation of the proposed prior period factor of$0.00032/kWh by
dividing this $21.9 million under-recovery by the total estimated Virginia jurisdictional
kilowatt-hour sales for the fuel year.
What is the total fuel factor that the Company is requesting to become effective
April 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, on an interim basis?
Schedule 7 shows the components ofthe proposed total fuel factor rate of $0.02406/kWh
compared to the present Fuel Charge Rider A factor of$0.03018/kWh.
Have you included in your exhibit revisions to Fuel Charge Rider A to reflect the
Company's proposed total fuel factor for April 1, 2015, on an interim basis?
Yes. My Schedule 8 shows the revised Fuel Charge Rider A, which would be applicable
for usage on and after April 1, 2015, on an interim basis.
2 This is a savings to customers of$O.OOl02lkWh per month, or $1.02/MWh, based on projected sales for the periodApril 2015 June 2016.

1 Q. Mr. Anderson, would you explain how these proposed changes in the fuel factor
2 would affect customers' bills?
3 A. Schedule 9 provides typical bill comparisons (base and fuel) for Rate Schedules 1, GS-l,
4 GS-2, GS-3, GS-4, and 5C based on the proposed April 1, 2015 fuel factor and rates
5 pending State Corporation Commission of Virginia approval to be effective on April 1,
6 2015. As shown on Schedule 9, Page 1, for a residential customer using 1,000 kWh per
7 month, the typical bill in the summer months (June through September) would decrease
8 $6.12 from $119.47 to $113.35 or by 5.1%. The typical bill for a residential customer
9 using 1,000 kWh in the base months (October through May) would decrease $6.12 from
10 $113.77 to $107.65, or by 5.4%. The average weighted monthly residential bill (4
11 summer months and 8 base months) would decrease $6.12 from $115.67 to $109.55, or
12 by 5.3%. For reference, page 10 of Schedule 9 provides a workpaper showing the billing
13 components of the 1,000 kWh residential bill proposed for April 1,2015.
14 Q. Does this conclude your pre-filed direct testimony?
15 A. Yes, it does.
