Section I: Primer On Rate Design Concepts & Practices

Step 1: Set Overall Revenue Requirement Total Dominion Revenue Requirement VA SCC ≈ 78.9% VEPGA ≈ 5.6% VA State And Federal Government ≈ 7.0% N. Carolina PUC ≈ 5.0% Federal (FERC) ≈ 3.5%

Step 2: Assign Revenue Responsibility to Classes and/or Rate Schedules General Considerations To Assign Revenue Responsibility Conceptually Marginal Costs Embedded Costs (Fully Allocated Cost) Value of Service Other Considerations Prices Relative to Other Utilities Percent Change from Current (Legacy Rate) Policy and Politics Judgment, Negotiations, Representation and Perceived “Fairness” General Considerations To Assign Revenue Responsibility Conceptually Marginal Costs Embedded Costs (Fully Allocated Cost) Value of Service Other Considerations Prices Relative to Other Utilities Percent Change from Current (Legacy Rate) Policy and Politics Judgment, Negotiations, Representation and Perceived “Fairness” General Class Definitions Residential Small Commercial Medium Commercial Large Commercial/Industrial Interruptible Real Time Pricing Street & Area Lighting General Class Definitions Residential Small Commercial Medium Commercial Large Commercial/Industrial Interruptible Real Time Pricing Street & Area Lighting
