Farrell noted that the vast majority of Dominion's income and revenues will now come from regulated and energy infrastructure businesses. The planned sale of most of the company's E&P operations is nearly complete, electric re- regulation legislation was adopted in Virginia earlier this year, and other planned asset sales are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
In addition, the company announced the creation of a new Climate Change Initiative to determine if there are business opportunities for Dominion in light of increasing demand for ways to reduce greenhouse emissions from fossil-fueled power stations and other sources. Johnson will head this initiative.
"Dominion has a long history of operational excellence at its power stations and of getting ahead of the curve in reducing other emissions," Farrell said. "We want to see if this expertise can be transferred to help ourselves and others reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
Also new will be a Governance Department, which will provide oversight of corporate governance matters for the board of directors. This group will include the Corporate Secretary's department.
