**Email to Employees from Robert M. Blue** 

Team –

I am excited to let you know that Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy today announced a definitive agreement to combine, which will create the nation's largest regulated electric utility and energy infrastructure business.

You probably know about NextEra Energy. It serves 6 million homes and businesses in Florida – along with operations in 48 other states. Like Dominion Energy, it is an all-of-the-above company, with 80 GW of power generation fueled by natural gas, nuclear, and renewable resources. Also like Dominion Energy, it is a values-based company, focused on safety, ethical behavior, excellence, continuous improvement, teamwork, and customer service.

Together, we will be able to buy, build, finance, and operate more efficiently, which will benefit our customers and communities – and our employees.

This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us. In this video, John Ketchum, NextEra Energy's chairman and chief executive officer, and I discuss what this combination means to you and our other stakeholders across our collective footprint.

We will be holding two companywide employee meetings today – one in Richmond at 11 a.m. and one in Cayce at 2:30 p.m. Both will be available virtually. Email invitations to these meetings will be sent shortly.

Thank you for your continued focus on our critical mission to provide the reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean energy that powers our customers every day.

Bob

**Transcript of Employee Video** 

**Robert M. Blue:** 

I'm excited to be here with John Ketchum chairman and CEO, of NextEra Energy to let you know that this morning, Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy announced that we have entered into an agreement to combine, which will create the nation's largest regulated electric utility business.

------

Let me tell you a little bit about NextEra Energy and why these two great companies are joining hands.

NextEra Energy is the largest utility holding company in the U.S., with a presence in 49 states, but principally in Florida, where it serves 6 million homes and businesses.

It is an all-of-the-above company – the world's leader in solar and storage, and a national leader in natural gas-fired generation and nuclear power, with seven units in three states.

It is an industry leader in reliability and customer service.

Both of our companies have similar corporate cultures and values – focusing on safety, excellence, ethical behavior, continuous improvement, teamwork, and customers.

Once the two companies are combined, we will serve approximately 10 million homes and businesses across Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina and own approximately 110 gigawatts of all-of-the-above power generation.

Together, we'll buy, build, finance, and operate more efficiently, safely providing reliable, affordable energy that will benefit customers, communities, shareholders, and employees alike.

John will be the Chairman and CEO of the combined company, and he's a fantastic leader at NextEra Energy and throughout the industry. John first approached me about the idea of combining our companies a few months ago. He'll tell you what about Dominion Energy appealed to NextEra Energy . . . and what's next.

John….

**John W. Ketchum:** 

Thank you, Bob.

------

This is a historic moment for our two companies and for the states we are privileged to serve. Electricity demand is rising faster than it has since the years immediately following World War II. Projects are getting larger and more complex. Customers need affordable and reliable power not years from now – but <u>now</u>.

We are bringing NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy together because scale matters: Scale translates into capital and operating efficiency. As Bob said, this scale will enable us to buy, build, finance and operate more efficiently, meaning more affordable electricity for our customers over time.

It matters to you, too.

This combination will unleash growth – it's a combination about addition.

Dominion Energy is a company steeped in tradition, a company committed to serving your customers and communities reliably and affordably – and, above all, safely.

It is a company that cares, where you volunteer more than 100,000 hours annually supporting charities that improve the lives of people throughout Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Connecticut.

And it's a best-in-class operator of electric and gas infrastructure.

That's a testament to you. Your dedicated commitment to mission matters – and it drew NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy together.

As to our proposed combination, here's what you need to know:

We look at this as a combination of equals.

Dominion Energy is joining the NextEra Energy family, but the well-known and widely respected names you're accustomed to – Dominion Energy Virginia, Dominion Energy North Carolina, Dominion Energy South Carolina – will remain. . . . So will the headquarters in Richmond and the Dominion Energy South Carolina operational headquarters in Cayce. . . And so will your existing utility leadership – Bob Blue will serve as President and CEO of Regulated Utilities.

------

Leadership at those regulated utilities would remain the same as it is today, with Ed Baine leading Dominion Energy Virginia and North Carolina, Keller Kissam leading Dominion Energy South Carolina and Scott Bores leading Florida Power & Light Company.

This is a combination of addition and there is no operational overlap between our two companies. Moreover, we expect the company to double in size over the next several years creating great opportunities for our team across America. In the near term, we will protect jobs, compensation, and benefits . . . and collective-bargaining agreements in effect at close will continue to be recognized.

And I'm looking forward to meeting you this morning and in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

I'm excited – and I hope you are, too.

**Robert M. Blue:** 

Thank you, John. This is an incredibly exciting opportunity.

I know you have a lot of questions.

Please visit the Employee Web Portal and check out our Frequently Asked Questions document. It will be updated . . . regularly. And please send any other questions you might have to employeeinfo@dominionenergy.com. We'll answer those questions as we can.

After today, Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy leadership will hold several smaller employee meetings where you can hear from us – and we can hear from you.

I believe this next chapter in the long and storied history of Dominion Energy – together with NextEra Energy – will be a tremendously successful one.

------

Thank you for what you do to provide the reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean energy that powers our customers every day.
