GASTONIA, N.C., March 18, 2020 – Every day, nearly 600,000 Dominion Energy natural gas customers in North Carolina depend on the hard-working dedication of gas utility workers to heat their homes, cook their food and power their businesses. Dominion Energy invites the public to recognize Natural Gas Utility Workers' Day today in recognition of their valuable contribution to the daily lives and well-being of our customers, especially as the nation responds to COVID-19.

Braving adverse weather conditions and working through times of difficulty as we are experiencing with COVID-19, gas utility workers demonstrate an unwavering commitment to serving their neighbors and communities, making personal sacrifices for the comfort of others.

“The skill and dedication of our gas utility workers never ceases to amaze me. Their dedication to our customers is even more apparent as we confront the societal challenges of COVID-19,” said Diane Leopold, Dominion Energy's co-Chief Operating Officer. “They deserve our gratitude for the outstanding public service they provide, particularly during times like this,” Leopold added.

Dominion Energy North Carolina employees work hard to deliver the clean, safe and affordable energy customers depend on. Our customer service representatives help low-income customers with affordable payment options and are hard at work to ensure the most vulnerable do not have their service impacted during this time of need. Our inspectors work around the clock to protect public safety. As part of Dominion Energy's response to COVID-19, technicians are diligently reconnecting service to our most vulnerable customers. Speaking for all of Dominion Energy workforce, the following North Carolina employees shared their commitment to safety, reliability and environmental stewardship in everything do:

• Vicky, a transmission supervisor in Raleigh, works with her team to operate and maintain our pipeline system to ensure its safety.
• Robert is a locator/first responder in Apex and diligently marks gas lines for the public after they have called 811.
• Mike, an engineer in Asheville, demonstrates a passion for protecting the environment in every construction project.

“Our natural gas employees care about each other's safety, and they care about the safety of the communities we serve,” said Shaun Randall, vice president of operations for Dominion Energy North Carolina. “They work hard together to seamlessly provide customers the convenience and comfort of safe, reliable natural gas. I commend our employees for their commitment to our customers as we all work together to get through this time of uncertainty related to COVID-19. Our gas utility workers will continue to rise to the challenges we're facing.”

This is the fifth year for the nationwide celebration established by the American Public Gas Association.
