Explanatory Note

Dominion Energy, Inc. (formerly known as Dominion Resources, Inc.) (Dominion Energy) previously filed its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-195768) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on May 7, 2014 (the Prior Registration Statement) with respect to 25,000,000 shares of Dominion Energy's common stock, no par value (the Common Stock), issuable under Dominion Energy's 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2014 Plan).

On May 7, 2024 (the Approval Date), Dominion Energy's shareholders approved Dominion Energy's 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2024 Plan) and, in connection therewith, no further awards will be made under the 2014 Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Plan, (i) shares allocable to incentive awards or portions thereof granted under the 2024 Plan or, (ii) after December 31, 2023, shares allocable to incentive awards or portions thereof granted under the 2014 Plan that remained outstanding as of December 31, 2023, that expire, are forfeited or otherwise terminate unexercised and without issuance of any shares, do not count against the share reserve under the 2024 Plan (or will be added to such share reserve with respect to 2014 Plan awards) and may be used for future awards under the 2024 Plan (such added shares, the Rollover Shares).

As of December 31, 2023, a total of 1,871,380 shares of Common Stock were subject to awards then outstanding under the 2014 Plan. Dominion Energy is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 pursuant to Item 512(a)(1)(iii) of Regulation S-K and Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 126.43 to amend the Prior Registration Statement to register the offer of the Rollover Shares under the 2024 Plan (as such shares would no longer be issuable under the 2014 Plan). For avoidance of doubt, Dominion Energy is not registering any additional shares of Common Stock that were not previously approved by Dominion Energy's shareholders as of the Approval Date. Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8, Dominion Energy is filing a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register 26,845,646 new shares of Common Stock that are available for issuance pursuant to the 2024 Plan.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Article VI of Dominion Energy's Articles of Incorporation mandates indemnification of its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the Virginia Act) and any other applicable law. The Virginia Act permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against liability incurred in all proceedings, including derivative proceedings, arising out of their service to the corporation or to other corporations or enterprises that the officer or director was serving at the request of the corporation, except in the case of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of a criminal law. Dominion Energy is required to indemnify its directors and officers in all such proceedings if they have not violated this standard. Dominion Energy has also entered into agreements relating to the advancement of expenses for certain of its directors and officers in advance of a final disposition of proceedings or the making of any determination of eligibility for indemnification pursuant to Dominion Energy's Articles of Incorporation.

In addition, Article VI of Dominion Energy's Articles of Incorporation limits the liability of its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the Virginia Act as now and hereafter in effect. The Virginia Act places a limit on the liability of a director or officer in derivative or shareholder proceedings equal to the lesser of (i) the amount specified in the corporation's articles of incorporation or a shareholder-approved bylaw; or (ii) the greater of (a) $100,000 or (b) twelve months of cash compensation received by the director or officer. The limit does not apply in the event the director or officer has engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of a criminal law or a federal or state securities law. The effect of Dominion Energy's Articles of Incorporation, together with the Virginia Act, is to eliminate liability of directors and officers for monetary damages in derivative or shareholder proceedings so long as the required standard of conduct is met.

Dominion Energy has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance policies. Within the limits of their coverage, the policies insure (1) the directors and officers of Dominion Energy against certain losses resulting from claims against them in their capacities as directors and officers to the extent that such losses are not indemnified by Dominion Energy and (2) Dominion Energy to the extent that it indemnifies such directors and officers for losses as permitted under the laws of Virginia.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act);

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

PROVIDED, however, that paragraphs a(1)(i) and a(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of this offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to provisions described in Item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
