LEGAL NOTICE
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY COLUMBIA GAS OF VIRGINIA, INC.
FOR APPROVAL TO AMEND AND EXTEND ITS SAVE PLAN PURSUANT TO
VIRGINIA CODE 搂 56-604 AND TO IMPLEMENT A 2026 SAVE RIDER IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 20 OF ITS GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
CASE NO. PUR-2025-00099
On August 12, 2025, Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (鈥淐VA鈥� or the 鈥淐ompany鈥�) filed
an application (鈥淎pplication鈥�) with the State Corporation Commission (鈥淐ommission鈥�),
pursuant to Chapter 26 of Title 56 of the Code of Virginia (鈥淐ode鈥�), known as the
Steps to Advance Virginia鈥檚 Energy Plan (SAVE) Act, for: (i) authorization to increase
its currently authorized 2026 SAVE spend cap; (ii) approval to amend and extend
its SAVE Plan for two calendar years, calendar years 2027 and 2028 (Phase 6
SAVE Plan); and (iii) approval to implement a SAVE Rider for calendar year 2026,
inclusive of costs associated with the Company鈥檚 Advanced Leak Detection and
Repair Program (鈥淎dvanced LDAR Program鈥�). Pursuant to Code 搂 56-604 B, the
Commission must issue an order approving or denying the proposed 2026 SAVE
Rider adjustment within 120 days of the filing of a complete application.
CVA represents that its SAVE Plan is a program designed to accelerate the
replacement of certain components of its gas distribution system infrastructure
to enhance system safety and reliability. The Company states that in Case No.
PUR-2023-00119, the Commission approved the amendment and extension of the
Company鈥檚 Phase 5 SAVE Plan for three additional years. CVA represents that its
SAVE Rider is billed as a fixed charge each month and is designed to recover 鈥渆ligible
infrastructure replacement costs鈥� as defined in Code 搂 56-603.
In this proceeding, CVA requests authorization to increase the currently
authorized 2026 SAVE spend cap from $73 million to $87.1 million. CVA states that
the Company is projecting to spend $87.1 million on SAVE-eligible projects during
calendar year 2026, which exceeds the currently authorized $73.0 million plus 10%
cost cap. Additionally, CVA is requesting authority to exceed this investment amount
by 10% for a maximum 2026 SAVE spend of $95.8 million.
The Company also proposes to amend and extend its SAVE Plan for an additional
two years through 2028. CVA states that the Company鈥檚 projected spend includes
$187.1 million in 2027 and $127.7 million in 2028, for a total authorization of $314.8
million for Phase 6 SAVE-eligible projects, with the ability to exceed the investment
by 10% on an annual basis and 10% on a cumulative basis. CVA represents that if
approved, the total Phase 6 maximum spend would be $346.3 million. Additionally,
the Company requests authorization to spend up to $2.0 million in 2027 and $0.6
million in 2028 associated with CVA鈥檚 Advanced LDAR Program, with authorization to
exceed this investment by 10% on an annual basis and 10% on a cumulative basis,
for a Phase 6 maximum spend of $2.9 million.
The Company states that the proposed 2026 SAVE Rider comprises two
components, a Projected Factor and a True Up Factor. CVA states that it is requesting
a True Up Factor revenue requirement of ($9,177) and a Projected Factor revenue
requirement of $15,382,334, for a total 2026 SAVE Rider revenue requirement of
$15,373,156. According to the Company, the 2026 SAVE Rider rate calculations
are based on an $87.1 million projected SAVE-eligible capital program for 2026 and
$1.9 million in projected 2026 costs associated with the Company鈥檚 Advanced LDAR
Program. The Company proposes to use the same methodology to allocate the
SAVE Plan cost of service as was approved in Case No. PUR-2024-00103. The
Company states that the proposed 2026 SAVE Rider will increase the annual bill for
an average residential customer using 61.2 dekatherms per year by $19.56, a 1.5%
increase when compared to the rates in effect on June 30, 2025.

are encouraged to review the Company鈥檚 Application and supporting exhibits.
