Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, Dominion Energy, Inc. (the Company), hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the Agreement) with respect to the issuance and sale to the several Underwriters named in Schedule I of 14,000,000 of the Company’s 2019 Series A Corporate Units (the Firm Corporate Units) specified in Schedule II hereto and, at the election of the Representatives acting on behalf of the Underwriters, up to an additional 2,100,000 of the Company’s 2019 Series A Corporate Units (the Optional Corporate Units, and together with the Firm Corporate Units, the Corporate Units), and the public offering thereof by the several Underwriters, upon the terms specified in Schedule II. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall be used as defined in the Prospectus (as defined in Section 3A(a)).

1.    Underwriters and Representatives. The term “Underwriters” as used herein shall be deemed to mean the several persons, firms or corporations (including the Representatives hereinafter mentioned) named in Schedule I hereto, and the term “Representatives” as used herein shall be deemed to mean the Representatives to whom this Agreement is addressed, who by signing this Agreement represent that they have been authorized by the other Underwriters to execute this Agreement on their behalf and to act for them in the manner herein provided. If there shall be only one person, firm or corporation named as an addressee above, the term “Representatives” as used herein shall mean that person, firm or corporation. If there shall be only one person, firm or corporation named in Schedule I hereto, the term “Underwriters” as used herein shall mean that person, firm or corporation. All obligations of the Underwriters hereunder are several and not joint. Unless otherwise stated, any action under or in respect of this Agreement taken by the Representatives will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

2.    Description of the Corporate Units. Each Corporate Unit has a stated amount of $100 (the Stated Amount) and consists of (i) a Purchase Contract (a Purchase Contract) issued by the Company pursuant to which the holder thereof will agree to purchase from the Company and the Company will agree to sell to the holder thereof on June 1, 2022, subject to earlier settlement or termination, or if such day is not a business day, the following business day (the Purchase Contract Settlement Date), for $100 a variable number of shares (the Issuable Common Stock) of the Company’s common stock, without par value (the Common Stock), equal to the Settlement Rate (as defined in the Prospectus), subject to anti-dilution adjustments and subject to adjustment in certain circumstances if the holder elects to settle the Purchase Contract early, as determined pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (as defined below) and (ii) (a) a 1/10 undivided beneficial ownership interest in one share of 1.75% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, without par value, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the Convertible Preferred Stock) or (b) following a successful optional remarketing, the “applicable ownership interest” (as defined in the Prospectus) in the “Treasury portfolio” (as defined in the Prospectus). The Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into, at the Company’s election, shares of Common Stock (the Underlying Securities), cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock.

The Purchase Contracts will be issued pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, to be dated as of the First Closing Date (as defined in Section 5) (the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement), among the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as purchase contract agent (the Purchase Contract Agent) and attorney-in-fact for the holders of the Equity Units, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as collateral agent (the Collateral Agent), custodial agent (the Custodial Agent) and securities intermediary (the Securities Intermediary).

A holder of Corporate Units, at its option, may elect to create “Treasury Units” in accordance with the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement by substituting pledged U.S. Treasury securities for any pledged ownership interests in the Convertible Preferred Stock. Unless otherwise indicated, the term “Equity Units” includes both Corporate Units and Treasury Units.

The terms, including the preferences, rights and limitations, of the Convertible Preferred Stock will be established by certain senior officers of the Company, acting upon authority delegated to them by the Company’s board of directors pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated (the Articles of Incorporation), and Virginia Code Section 13.1-689, and will be contained in articles of amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (the Articles of Amendment), to be filed with the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia on or before June 12, 2019.

2

A Corporate Unit holder’s ownership interest in the Convertible Preferred Stock forming a part of the Corporate Units initially will be pledged to secure such holder’s obligations under the related Purchase Contracts, such pledge to be on the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Pursuant to a Remarketing Agreement, to be entered into by the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent, as the purchase contract agent and as attorney-in-fact for the holders of the Equity Units, and the remarketing agents named therein (the Remarketing Agents) in such form and dated as of such date as to be determined by the parties thereto (the Remarketing Agreement), the Convertible Preferred Stock will be remarketed, subject to certain terms and conditions.

The “Component Securities” means, collectively, the Purchase Contracts, the Convertible Preferred Stock and the Issuable Common Stock. The terms and rights of any particular issuance of the Equity Units and/or Component Securities and/or Underlying Securities shall be specified in (i) the Articles of Incorporation, (ii) the Articles of Amendment or (iii) the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, as applicable (the documents listed in clauses (i) through (iii), together with the Remarketing Agreement, each a Securities Agreement and, collectively, the Securities Agreements).

Schedule II specifies the aggregate number of Corporate Units, the initial public offering price of the Corporate Units, and the purchase price to be paid by the Underwriters and sets forth the date, time and manner of delivery of the Corporate Units and payment therefor. Schedule II also specifies (to the extent not set forth in Sections 4 and 5 herein, or in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Information or Prospectus, each such term as defined below) the terms and provisions for the purchase of such Corporate Units.

The Registration Statement and the Prospectus comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Securities Exchange Act), and the rules, regulations and releases of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act (the Rules and Regulations); the Registration Statement, on its most recent effective date and on each Closing Date, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; neither the Prospectus as of its date nor the Time of Sale Information at the Time of Sale contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; on each Closing Date, none of the Time of Sale Information, the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses (as supplemented by and taken together with the Time of Sale Information) or the Prospectus will include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and, on each Closing Date, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto) will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities

(c)    Other than the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the documents listed on Schedule VII, the Prospectus, or any document not constituting a prospectus under Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Securities Act or Rule 134 under the Securities Act, the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to, any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Equity Units, unless such written communication is approved in writing in advance by the Representatives. To the extent any such written communication constitutes an “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act and referred to herein as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus), such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus complied or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 433(c) and, if the filing thereof is required pursuant to Rule 433, such filing has been or will be made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433(d).

3B.    Representations and Warranties of the Underwriters. Each of the Underwriters represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company that:

(a)    It has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Equity Units as part of their initial offering outside the United States except in or from those jurisdictions set forth on Schedule VIII hereto, in accordance with the restrictions and the applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder as set forth in the Underwriting section of the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Selling Restrictions.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it may use a free writing prospectus that is (i) the Final Term Sheet; (ii) an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule VII or otherwise approved in writing in advance by the Representatives pursuant to Section 3A(c) above or (iii) one or more term sheets relating to the Equity Units that do not contain substantive changes from or additions to the Final Term Sheet.

4.    Purchase and Public Offering.

(a)    On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each of the Underwriters, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at the price, place and time hereinafter specified, (i) the number of Firm Corporate Units set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto and (ii) in the event and to the extent that the Representatives shall exercise the election to purchase Optional Corporate Units as provided below, the number of Optional Corporate Units as to which such election shall have been exercised (to be adjusted by the Representatives, if necessary, so as to eliminate fractions of Corporate Units) determined in the same proportion as the Firm Corporate Units are allocated among the Underwriters. The Underwriters agree to make a public offering of their respective Corporate Units specified in Schedule I hereto at the initial public offering price specified in Schedule II hereto. It is understood that after such initial offering the several Underwriters reserve the right to vary the offering price and further reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify any subsequent offering without notice.

Such time and date for delivery of the Firm Corporate Units is herein called the “First Closing Date,” such time and date for delivery of the Optional Corporate Units, if not the First Closing Date, is herein called an “Optional Closing Date,” and each such time and date for delivery is herein called a “Closing Date.” On each Closing Date, the Company, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (DTC), shall deliver or cause to be delivered a securities entitlement with respect to the Corporate Units to the Representatives for the accounts of each Underwriter against payment of the purchase price by wire transfer of same day funds to a bank account designated by the Company.

10

The Company will pay the registration fees for this offering within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(i) under the Securities Act and, in any event, prior to the First Closing Date.

(b)    If the Representatives so request, the Company, on or prior to the First Closing Date, will deliver to the Representatives conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed, including all exhibits, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to each such document, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as are reasonably requested by the Representatives. The Representatives will be deemed to have made such a request for copies for each of the several Underwriters and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and Troutman Sanders LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, with respect to any such documents that are not electronically available through the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) filing system or any successor thereto.

(c)    The Company will pay all expenses in connection with (i) the preparation and filing by it of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus, (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Corporate Units, (iii) any fees and expenses of the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and of each Remarketing Agent, (iv) the printing and delivery (by first class mail) to the Underwriters, in reasonable quantities, of copies of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus (each as originally filed and as subsequently amended) and (v) all expenses and fess related to the listing of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Maximum Number of Issuable Shares and the Maximum Number of Underlying Securities. In addition, the Company will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of Troutman Sanders LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, in connection with the qualification of the Corporate Units under state securities or blue sky laws or investment laws (if and to the extent such qualification is required by the Underwriters or the Company).

(d)    If, during the time when a prospectus relating to the Corporate Units is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event occurs as a result of which (i) the Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (ii) it is necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Company promptly will (y) notify the Underwriters through the Representatives to suspend solicitation of purchases of the Corporate Units and, (z) at its expense, prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. During the period specified above, the Company will continue to prepare and file with the Commission on a timely basis all documents or amendments required under the Securities Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; provided, that the Company shall not file such documents or amendments without also furnishing copies thereof to the Representatives, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and Troutman Sanders LLP. Any such documents or amendments which are electronically available through EDGAR shall be deemed to have been furnished by the Company to the Representatives, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and Troutman Sanders LLP.

(e)    The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and will afford the Representatives a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement prior to filing; and the Company will also advise the Representatives promptly of the filing of any such amendment or supplement, or the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement or of any part thereof, or receipt from the Commission of any notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement or any supplement or amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act, and will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or any such notice of objection and to obtain as soon as possible their lifting, if issued.

(f)    The Company will make generally available to its security holders, as soon as it is practicable to do so, an earnings statement of the Company (in reasonable detail, in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act and which need not be audited), covering a period of at least 12 months beginning within three months after the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158 under the Securities Act) of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the requirements of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(g)    The Company will furnish such information as may be lawfully required for, and otherwise cooperate in, qualifying the Corporate Units for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in any state to qualify as a foreign corporation, or to file a general consent to service of process, or to submit to any requirements which it deems unduly burdensome.

(h)    Fees and disbursements of Troutman Sanders LLP, who is acting as counsel for the Underwriters, (exclusive of fees and disbursements of Troutman Sanders LLP which are to be paid as set forth in Section 6(c)) shall be paid by the Underwriters; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Representatives for the account of the Underwriters for the amount of such fees and disbursements.

12

(i)    The Company will use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, no later than the First Closing Date, the Corporate Units will be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

(j)    The Company shall reserve an aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Maximum Number of Issuable Shares to satisfy the obligation of the Company to issue Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Contracts.

(k)    Between the date hereof and the First Closing Date, the Company shall not do or authorize any act or thing that would result in an adjustment of the maximum settlement rate under the Purchase Contracts or the conversion rate for the Convertible Preferred Stock.

(l)    The Company shall reserve an aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Maximum Number of Underlying Securities to satisfy the obligation of the Company to issue Common Stock upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock.

(m)    The Company shall not, and it shall prior to the First Closing Date obtain from its executive officers (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act) (the Executive Officers) and its directors their agreement not to, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, issue, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (collectively, Common Securities), or file any Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing (other than a shelf registration statement from which no such securities are offered) or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of shares of Common Stock or of Common Securities, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or such Common Securities, in cash or otherwise, for a period of 45 days from the date hereof without your prior written consent other than (A) pursuant to this Agreement; (B) any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of an option, warrant, or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof; (C) up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock by any Executive Officers or directors; (D) any shares of Common Stock issued, or options to purchase such shares granted (or the filing of any registration statement relating to such shares or options) in connection with any of the Company’s employee benefit plans, employee stock purchase plans, non-employee director stock plans, dividend reinvestment plans, employee retirement plans and the Dominion Direct Investment plan or the sale of shares of Common Stock, including through the exercise of stock options, by any Executive Officer or director under a Rule 10b5-1 plan that was in effect prior to the date of this Agreement; (E) the entry by any Executive Officer or director into a new Rule 10b5-1 plan, provided that no sales or other distributions pursuant to a new 10b5-1 plan may occur until the expiration of the 45-day period; (F) the sale or surrender to the Company by any of its Executive Officers or directors of any options or Common Stock

13

underlying options or any restricted stock in order to pay the exercise price or taxes associated with the exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock; (G) any issuance by the Company of Common Stock in connection with acquisitions that close more than 45 days after the date hereof or any acquisition in which the party or parties receiving the Common Stock agree to be bound by the restrictions of this Section 6(m); (H) any issuance and sale by the Company of Common Stock in connection with any “early settlement” (as defined in the Prospectus) (upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Prospectus) or otherwise) of any Purchase Contract underlying a Corporate Unit or Treasury Unit by the holder thereof; (I) any issuance and sale by the Company of Common Stock in connection with any “early settlement” (as defined in the prospectus relating to the Company’s 2016 Series A Equity Units (the 2016 Series A Prospectus) (upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined in the 2016 Series A Prospectus) or otherwise) of any purchase contract underlying a 2016 Series A Corporate Unit or 2016 Series A Treasury Unit, as applicable, by the holder thereof; (J) any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock; and (K) transfers by any person, other than the Company, by gift, will or intestacy, or to affiliates or immediate family members, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by the restrictions of this Section 6(m) and no filing by any party (transferor or transferee) under the Securities Exchange Act or other public announcement, shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution.

7.    Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations; Termination by the Underwriters.

(a)    The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Corporate Units on each Closing Date shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)    No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in effect on such Closing Date and no proceedings for that purpose shall be pending before or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission on such date. The Representatives shall have received, prior to payment for the Corporate Units, a certificate dated such Closing Date and signed by the President or any Vice President of the Company to the effect that no such stop order is in effect and that no proceedings for such purpose are pending before or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission.

(ii)    The Representatives shall receive, on such Closing Date, on behalf of the several Underwriters, the opinions of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, special counsel to the Underwriters, Troutman Sanders LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, McGuireWoods LLP, counsel to the Company, and the Company’s General Counsel, substantially in the forms attached hereto as Schedules III, IV, V and VI, respectively. In lieu of any such opinion to be delivered on any Optional Closing Date, such counsel may furnish the Representatives, on behalf of the several Underwriters, with a letter to the effect that they may rely upon the opinion delivered on the Closing Date by such counsel to the same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance.

(iii)    The Representatives shall have received from Deloitte & Touche LLP on the date of this Agreement and on such Closing Date letters addressed to the Representatives containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in

14

accountants’ SAS 72 “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, including any pro forma financial information.

(iv)    Subsequent to the execution of this Agreement and prior to such Closing Date, (A) except as reflected in, or contemplated by, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus (exclusive of amendments or supplements after the date hereof), and except for transactions permitted under Section 6(m) hereof, there shall not have occurred (1) any change in the Common Stock or the long-term debt of the Company (other than a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of such debt outstanding or issuances of commercial paper in the ordinary course of business), (2) any material adverse change in the general affairs, financial condition or earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (3) any material transaction entered into by the Company other than a transaction in the ordinary course of business, the effect of which in each such case in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives is so material and so adverse that it makes it impracticable to proceed with the public offering or delivery of the Corporate Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus and this Agreement, and (B) there shall not have occurred (1) any general suspension of trading in securities on the New York Stock Exchange or any limitation on prices for such trading or any restrictions on the distribution of securities established by the New York Stock Exchange or by the Commission or by any federal or state agency or by the decision of any court that shall, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, make it impracticable to proceed with the public offering or delivery of the Corporate Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus and this Agreement, (2) a suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange, (3) a banking moratorium declared either by federal or New York State authorities or (4) any outbreak or escalation of major hostilities in which the United States is involved, any declaration of war by the United States Congress or any other substantial national or international calamity or crisis resulting in the declaration of a national emergency, or any material adverse change in the financial markets; provided the effect of such outbreak, escalation, declaration, calamity, crisis or material adverse change shall, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, make it impracticable to proceed with the public offering or delivery of the Corporate Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus and this Agreement.

(v)    On each Closing Date, the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement shall be true and correct as if made on and as of such date, and the Company shall have performed all obligations and satisfied all conditions required of it under this Agreement; and, on such Closing Date, the Representatives shall have received a certificate to such effect signed by the President or any Vice President of the Company.

15

(vi)    All legal proceedings to be taken in connection with the issuance and sale of the Corporate Units shall have been satisfactory in form and substance to Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and Troutman Sanders LLP.

(vii)    The Company shall have filed an application for listing on the New York Stock Exchange the Corporate Units to be delivered on such Closing Date.

(viii)     The Company shall have filed an application for listing on the New York Stock Exchange the Maximum Number of Issuable Shares and the Maximum Number of Underlying Securities.

(b)    In case any of the conditions specified above in Section 7(a) shall not have been fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives upon mailing or delivering written notice thereof to the Company; provided, however, that in case the conditions specified in subsections 7(a)(v) and (vi) shall not have been fulfilled, this Agreement may not be so terminated by the Representatives unless Underwriters who have agreed to purchase in the aggregate 50% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Corporate Units shall have consented to such termination and the aforesaid notice shall so state. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Sections 6(c), 6(h), 7(c) and 9 hereof.

(c)    If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Representatives pursuant to Section 7(b) above or because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, then in any such case, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (in addition to the fees and disbursements of their outside counsel as provided in Section 6(h)) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder and, upon such reimbursement, the Company shall be absolved from any further liability hereunder, except as provided in Sections 6(c) and 9.

8.    Conditions of the Obligation of the Company. The obligation of the Company to deliver the Corporate Units shall be subject to the conditions set forth in the first sentence of Section 7(a)(i). In case such conditions shall not have been fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the Company by mailing or delivering written notice thereof to the Representatives. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Sections 6(c), 6(h), 9 and 10 hereof.

9.    Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)    The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors and officers, any broker-dealer affiliate of an Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, or any other statute or common law and to reimburse each such Underwriter, director, officer, broker-dealer affiliate and controlling person for any legal or

16

other expenses (including, to the extent hereinafter provided, reasonable and documented outside counsel fees) incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, or in connection with defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus (if and when used on or prior to the date hereof), the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any such document as amended or supplemented (if any amendments or supplements thereto shall have been furnished), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9(a) shall not apply to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arising out of or based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged omission, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished herein or otherwise in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives for use in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, in the Prospectus or any supplement thereto, in any Preliminary Prospectus or in the Time of Sale Information. The indemnity agreement of the Company contained in this Section 9(a) and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3 hereof shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any such director, officer, broker-dealer affiliate or controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of the Corporate Units.

(b)    Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, or any other statute or common law and to reimburse each of them for any legal or other expenses (including, to the extent hereinafter provided, reasonable and documented outside counsel fees) incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in connection with defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in either such document as amended or supplemented (if any amendments or supplements thereto shall have been furnished), any Preliminary Prospectus (if and when used prior to the date hereof), or the Time of Sale Information or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished herein or in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to either thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information. The indemnity agreement of the respective Underwriters contained in this Section 9(b) shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of the Corporate Units.

17

(c)    The Company and each of the Underwriters agree that, upon the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against the Company or any of its officers or directors, or any person controlling the Company, or against such Underwriter or any of its directors, officers, broker-dealer affiliates or controlling persons as aforesaid, in respect of which indemnity may be sought on account of any indemnity agreement contained herein, it will promptly give written notice of the commencement thereof to the party or parties against whom indemnity shall be sought hereunder, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party or parties of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party otherwise than on account of such indemnity agreement. In case such notice of any such action shall be so given, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume (in conjunction with any other indemnifying parties) the defense of such action, in which event such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such indemnifying party (or parties) and satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties who shall be defendant or defendants in such action, and such defendant or defendants shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional outside counsel retained by them; provided that, if the defendants (including impleaded parties) in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (or parties) and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (or parties), the indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to participate otherwise in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of outside counsel retained by the indemnified party if (i) the indemnified party shall have retained such counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to one local counsel), representing the indemnified parties under Section 9(a) or 9(b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall have elected not to assume the defense of such action, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement of the action, or (iv) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such a proceeding), unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

18

(d)    If the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a) or 9(b) is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, including relative benefit. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations under this Section 9(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

10.    Termination. If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Corporate Units which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder, and the number of Corporate Units that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Corporate Units to be purchased on the applicable Closing Date, then the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Corporate Units set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Underwriters may specify, to purchase the Corporate Units which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall so fail or refuse to purchase Corporate Units and the aggregate number of Corporate Units with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Corporate Units to be purchased on the applicable Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Underwriters and the Company for the purchase of such Corporate Units are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter (except as provided in Sections 6(h) and 9) or of the Company (except as provided in Sections 6(c) and 9). In any such case not involving a termination, either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the relevant Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

19

11.    Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(c)    For purposes of this Section 11, (i) the term “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k); (ii) the term “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (1) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (2) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (3) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b); (iii) the term “Default Rights” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable; and (iv) the term “U.S Special Resolution Regime” means each of (1) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (2) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

12.    Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive delivery of the Corporate Units.

13.    Miscellaneous. The validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company, the Underwriters and, with respect to the provisions of Section 9 hereof, each controlling person and each officer and director of the Company and the Underwriters referred to in Section 9, and their respective successors, assigns, executors and administrators. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. The term “successors” as used in this Agreement shall not include any purchaser, as such, of any of the Corporate Units from any of the several Underwriters. The Company and the Underwriters each acknowledge and agree that in connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and

20

the Underwriters have an arms length business relationship that creates no fiduciary duty on the part of either party and each expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship, except that the Underwriters acknowledge that they owe a duty of trust or confidence to the Company as contemplated by paragraph (b)(2)(i) of Rule 100 (17 CFR §243.100) of Regulation FD under the Securities Exchange Act.

14.    Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and if to the Underwriters shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the Representatives at the address set forth on Schedule II hereto, or if to the Company shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to it, attention of Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Dominion Energy, Inc., 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219 (facsimile number: (804) 819-2211).

as Representatives of the several Underwriters named in

Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special product counsel for you and the other several Underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement dated June 11, 2019 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Dominion Energy, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), under which you and such other Underwriters have severally agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of [●] of its Purchase Contracts (each a “Purchase Contract” and collectively the “Purchase Contracts”) and [●] shares of its 1.75% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, without par value, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). [The Purchase Contracts and the Preferred Stock include [●] Purchase Contracts and [●] shares of Preferred Stock to be purchased pursuant to the option to purchase additional Purchase Contracts and Preferred Stock provided for in the Underwriting Agreement.] The Purchase Contracts and Preferred Stock will be issued together in the form of Corporate Units (the “Corporate Units”),

III-1

each of which will represent one Purchase Contract and a 10% undivided beneficial ownership interest in one share of Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, a holder of Corporate Units, at its option, may elect to create Treasury Units (the “Treasury Units”) by substituting pledged U.S. Treasury securities for any pledged ownership interests in the Notes. The term “Securities” includes both Corporate Units and Treasury Units.

The Purchase Contracts will be issued under a Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement dated as of June 14, 2019 (the “Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement”) among the Company, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Purchase Contract Agent (the “Purchase Contract Agent”) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent”), Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary. Each Purchase Contract will obligate the holder to purchase from the Company on June 1, 2022 or earlier in certain circumstances, for a price of $100, the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, without par value (the “Common Stock”), specified therein.

The Preferred Stock will be established by Articles of Amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, and is convertible on the terms set forth in the Articles of Amendment into cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election.

The holders of the Corporate Units will pledge their interests in the Preferred Stock underlying the Corporate Units to the Collateral Agent to secure their obligations under the Purchase Contracts to purchase shares of Common Stock.

We have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

We have also reviewed the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-219088) (other than the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”)), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration of securities (the “Shelf Securities”) to be issued from time to time by the Company and the prospectus dated June 30, 2017 (the “Basic Prospectus”) relating to the Shelf Securities, and have participated in the preparation of the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 10, 2019 relating to the Securities, the free writing prospectus set forth in Schedule VII to the Underwriting Agreement relating to the Securities and the prospectus supplement dated June 11, 2019 relating to the Securities (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available by the Company to the Underwriters to meet requests of purchasers of the Securities under Rule 173 under the Act), is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.”

III-2

In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all documents filed with or submitted to the Commission through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system (except for required EDGAR formatting changes) conform to the versions of such documents reviewed by us prior to such formatting, (iv) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (v) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (vi) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vii) all representations made by the Company as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

III-3

We have considered the statements included in the Prospectus under the captions “Description of the Equity Units,” “Description of the Purchase Contracts” and “Certain Provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement” insofar as they summarize provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Purchase Contracts. In our opinion, such statements fairly summarize these provisions in all material respects.

III-4

In rendering the opinions in paragraphs (1) and (2) above, we have assumed that each party to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Corporate Units (the “Documents”) has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. In addition, we have assumed that (i) the execution, delivery and performance by each party thereto of each Document to which it is a party, (a) are within its corporate powers, (b) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other constitutive documents of such party, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and (d) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or any judgment, injunction, order or decree or any agreement or other instrument binding upon such party and (ii) each Document is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Company).

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America, except that we express no opinion as to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company, the Documents or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.

This opinion is rendered solely to you and the other several Underwriters in connection with the Underwriting Agreement. This opinion may not be relied upon by you or the other several Underwriters for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person (including any person acquiring Corporate Units from the several Underwriters) or furnished to any other person without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as your counsel in connection with the arrangements for issuance by Dominion Energy, Inc. (the Company) of up to [●] 2019 Series A Corporate Units (the Corporate Units) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated June 11, 2019, by and among you and the Company (the Underwriting Agreement).

IV-1

This letter is being delivered to you pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

We have examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Company, agreements and other instruments, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company, and other documents, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. As to various questions of fact material to such opinions, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon certifications by officers of the Company and other appropriate persons and statements contained in the Registration Statement hereinafter mentioned. All legal proceedings taken as of the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement have been satisfactory to us.

In addition, we attended the closing held today at which the Company satisfied the conditions contained in Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement that are required to be satisfied as of the Closing Date.

Based upon the foregoing, and having regard to legal considerations that we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

1.    The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Virginia, and has the corporate power to transact its business as described in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

2.    No approval or consent by any public regulatory body is legally required in connection with the sale of the Corporate Units as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement (except (i) those which have already been obtained (including the filing of the Articles of Amendment with the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia) or (ii) to the extent that compliance with the provisions of securities or blue sky laws of certain states may be required in connection with the sale of the Corporate Units in such states) and the carrying out of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement.

3.    The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

4.    The Corporate Units have been duly authorized by the Company, and the certificates representing the Corporate Units (Corporate Units Certificates) have been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

5.    The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock (including the aggregate maximum number of Make-Whole Shares (as defined in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement) issuable upon settlement of the Purchase Contracts in connection with a “fundamental change” (as such term is defined in the Prospectus)) to be issued and sold by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Contracts has been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Contracts, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

IV-2

6.    The Maximum Number of Underlying Securities has been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

7.    The Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued by the Company as a component of the Corporate Units pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Company and, when the Corporate Units are issued and paid for as provided therein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

8.    The Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

9.    The Registration Statement (Reg. No. 333-219088) with respect to the Equity Units filed pursuant to the Securities Act is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act that was filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the Closing Date, and the Prospectus may lawfully be used for purposes specified in the Securities Act in connection with the offer for sale and the sale of Equity Units in the manner therein specified.

10.    The Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (except that we express no comment or belief with respect to any historical or pro forma financial statements and schedules and other financial or statistical information contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus) appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act, and to the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

*            *             *            *            *

We have not undertaken to determine independently the accuracy or completeness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or in the Prospectus, and as to the statistical statements in the Registration Statement (which includes statistical statements in the Incorporated Documents), we have relied solely on the officers of the Company. We accordingly assume no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the statements made in the Registration Statement. We note that the Incorporated Documents were prepared and filed by the Company without our participation. We have, however, participated in conferences with counsel for and representatives of the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus as it was initially issued and as it has been supplemented or amended, and we have reviewed the Incorporated Documents and such of the corporate records of the Company as we deemed advisable. In addition, we participated in one or more due diligence conferences with representatives of the Company and attended the closing at which the Company satisfied the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement. None of the foregoing participation, review or attendance disclosed to us any information that gives us reason to believe that the

IV-3

Registration Statement contained on the most recent effective date of the Registration Statement or contains on the date hereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Time of Sale Information contained at the Time of Sale, or the Prospectus contained on its date or the date it was supplemented or amended, or that the Prospectus contains on the date hereof, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted (or, with respect to the Prospectus, now omits) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in all cases, excepting the financial statements and schedules and other financial information contained or incorporated therein by reference, any pro forma financial information and notes thereto, and the Statements of Eligibility, included or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as to which we express no belief).

In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraphs one through ten above and in making the statements expressed in the preceding paragraph, we do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than those of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of New York and the United States of America. This opinion may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any person without our prior written consent, except that we hereby consent to disclosure of this opinion letter by any Underwriter on a confidential basis to: (i) any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Underwriter and (ii) any other person pursuant to orders or legal process of any court or as otherwise required of such Underwriter by law, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, solely for the purpose of establishing the existence of this opinion letter and on the condition and understanding that no such regulatory authority or other person is authorized to rely on the foregoing opinions for any other purpose.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Dominion Energy, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the Company), in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of up to [●] of its 2019 Series A Corporate Units (the Corporate Units) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated

V-1

June 11, 2019, by and among the Company and the Underwriters listed on Schedule I attached thereto (the Underwriting Agreement). This letter is being delivered to you pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. All terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

We have examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Company, agreements, and other instruments, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company, and other documents, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. As to various questions of fact material to such opinions, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon certifications by officers of the Company and other appropriate persons and statements contained in the Registration Statement hereinafter mentioned. All legal proceedings taken as of the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement have been satisfactory to us.

On this basis we are of the opinion that:

1.    No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign (other than those (i) required under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, (ii) which have already been made or obtained (including the filing of the Articles of Amendment with the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the SCC), or (iii) as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws of the various states) is necessary or required in connection with the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the Articles of Amendment or the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement or for the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Corporate Units as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.

2.    The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

3.    The Corporate Units have been duly authorized by the Company, and the certificates representing the Corporate Units (Corporate Units Certificates) have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and assuming (a) due execution of the Corporate Units Certificates and of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement by the Purchase Contract Agent as attorney-in-fact for the holders of the Corporate Units and (b) due authentication by the Purchase Contract Agent, will be duly and validly issued and outstanding, and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.    The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock (including the aggregate maximum number of “make-whole shares” (as such term is defined in the Prospectus) issuable upon settlement of the Purchase Contracts in connection with a “fundamental change”

V-2

(as such term is defined in the Prospectus)) to be issued and sold by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Contracts has been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Contracts, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

5.    The Maximum Number of Underlying Securities has been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

6.    The Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued by the Company as a component of the Corporate Units pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Company and, when the Corporate Units are issued and paid for as provided therein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Articles of Amendment have been duly filed with the SCC, and the Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to the rights, preferences and priorities set forth in the Articles of Amendment.

7.    The Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming that the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of the Purchase Contract Agent, as purchase contract agent and as attorney-in-fact for the holders of the Equity Units, and the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); provided, however, that we express no opinion as to (x) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law or (y) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of Section 5.04 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement or any related provision in the Corporate Units or the Treasury Units that requires or relates to adjustments to the settlement rate at a rate or in an amount that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or forfeiture; provided further, that a federal court exercising jurisdiction over the bankruptcy case of the Company, if such case were commenced and the issue were properly presented to the court and the court properly evaluated the pertinent decisional and other authorities, should conclude that, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement) relating to the commencement of a bankruptcy case by or against the Company, Section 365(e)(1) and Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.) should not substantively limit the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement that require termination of the Purchase Contracts and release of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Convertible Preferred Stock or the Treasury portfolio underlying the Corporate Units, as applicable, or the U.S. Treasury securities underlying the Treasury Units,¹ except that such

V-3

release may be delayed as a result of the imposition of the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided further that no opinion is expressed as to whether a court exercising bankruptcy jurisdiction, in addition to exercising general equitable powers, might determine that the automatic stay applies to, or might issue a temporary restraining order or provide other interim relief that would delay, the exercise of such termination rights, the release of such security interest, or the transfer of such Collateral to the Purchase Contract Agent for a period of time pending final adjudication of any challenge to the exercise of such termination rights, the release of such security interest, or the transfer of such Collateral to the Purchase Contract Agent during a bankruptcy case of the Company; provided further that certain of the provisions contained in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement may be unenforceable or ineffective, in whole or in part, upon the commencement of a bankruptcy case by or against the Company, including, without limitation, those which require the Company to provide certain notices or take certain affirmative acts upon a Termination Event. We note that the unenforceability of such provisions may result in delays in enforcement of the rights and remedies under the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The foregoing opinion is not based on directly controlling legal authority, but rather on what we believe to be a sound analysis of existing authorities from various jurisdictions regardless of the precedential effect on the particular court that might have occasion to make such a decision. The foregoing opinion is based on the applicable law in effect as of the date of this opinion and is expressly subject to there being no material change in the law. The foregoing opinion is not a guaranty as to what any particular court would actually hold but an opinion as to the decision a court should reach if the issues are properly presented to the court and the court properly evaluates the pertinent decisional and other authorities. In this regard, we note that legal opinions on bankruptcy law matters unavoidably have inherent limitations that generally do not exist in respect of other issues on which opinions to third parties are typically given. These inherent limitations exist primarily because of the pervasive equity powers of bankruptcy courts, the potential relevance to the exercise of judicial discretion of future arising facts, and circumstances and the nature of the bankruptcy process. The recipients of this opinion should take these limitations into account in analyzing the bankruptcy risks associated with the Equity Units.

8.    The Registration Statement (Reg. No. 333-219088) with respect to the Equity Units filed pursuant to the Securities Act is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act that was filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the Closing Date, and the Prospectus may lawfully be used for the purposes specified in the Securities Act in connection with the offer for sale of Equity Units in the manner therein specified.

V-4

9.    The Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (except the financial statements, any pro forma financial information and schedules contained or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion) appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act, and to the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

10.    We are of the opinion that the statements relating to the Equity Units, the Convertible Preferred Stock, and the Issuable Common Stock contained in the Base Prospectus under “Description of Stock Purchase Contracts and Stock Purchase Units”, as supplemented by the statements under “Description of the Equity Units”, “Description of The Purchase Contracts”, “Certain Provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement”, “Description of the Convertible Preferred Stock”, and “Description of Our Capital Stock” in the Prospectus Supplement dated June 11, 2019, are substantially accurate and fair.

11.    With regard to the discussion in the Prospectus Supplement dated June 11, 2019 under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”, insofar as such discussion relates to legal conclusions with respect to matters of United States federal income tax law, subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth therein, we are of the opinion that under current United States federal income tax law, although the discussion does not purport to disclose all potential United States federal income tax considerations of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of Equity Units and Common Stock acquired under the Purchase Contract, such discussion constitutes an accurate summary of the matters discussed therein in all material respects. In rendering the aforementioned opinion, we have considered the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions and Internal Revenue Service rulings, all of which are subject to change, which changes may be retroactively applied. A change in the authorities upon which our opinion is based could affect our conclusions.

**********

We have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and your representatives at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus were discussed, and we have consulted with officers and other employees of the Company to inform them of the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act. We have examined various reports, records, contracts and other documents of the Company and orders and instruments of public officials, which our investigation led us to deem pertinent. In addition, we participated in one or more due diligence conferences with representatives of the Company and attended the closing at which the Company satisfied the conditions contained in Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement. We have not, however, undertaken to make any independent review of other records of the Company which our investigation did not lead us to deem pertinent. As to the statistical statements in the Registration Statement (which includes the Incorporated Documents), we have relied solely on the officers of the Company. We accordingly assume no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the statements made in the Registration Statement, except as stated above in numbered paragraphs ten and eleven in regard to the statements described in such paragraphs ten and eleven. But such conferences, consultation, examination and attendance disclosed to us no information with respect to such

V-5

other matters that gives us reason to believe that the Registration Statement contained on the most recent effective date of the Registration Statement or contains on the date hereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted on such date or omits on the date hereof to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Time of Sale Information contained at the Time of Sale, the Prospectus contained as of its date, or that the Prospectus contains on the date hereof, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted on such date or omits on the date hereof to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in each case, except with respect to the financial statements, any pro forma financial information and schedules and other financial information, and the Statements of Eligibility, contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus). The foregoing assurance is provided on the basis that, except as otherwise provided in Section 3A(a) of the Underwriting Agreement with respect to the Time of Sale Information, any statement contained in an Incorporated Document will be deemed not to be contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus if the statement has been modified or superseded by any statement in a subsequently filed Incorporated Document or in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus.

We do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than those of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of New York and the United States of America. This opinion may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any person without our prior written consent, except that we hereby consent to disclosure of this opinion letter by any Underwriter on a confidential basis to: (i) any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Underwriter and (ii) any other person pursuant to orders or legal process of any court or as otherwise required of such Underwriter by law, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, solely for the purpose of establishing the existence of this opinion letter and on the condition and understanding that no such regulatory authority or other person is authorized to rely on the foregoing opinions for any other purpose.

PROPOSED FORM OF OPINION

GENERAL COUNSEL OF

DOMINION ENERGY, INC.

120 Tredegar Street

Richmond, Virginia 23219

June 14, 2019

DOMINION ENERGY, INC.

[●] 2019 Series A Corporate Units

To: The Addressees Listed on Annex A

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The arrangements for issuance of up to [●] 2019 Series A Corporate Units (the Corporate Units), of Dominion Energy, Inc. (the Company), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated June 11, 2019, by and among the Company and the Underwriters listed on Schedule I attached thereto (the Underwriting Agreement), have been taken under my supervision as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company. Terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

As Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company, I have general responsibility over the attorneys within the Company’s Legal Department responsible for rendering legal counsel to the Company regarding corporate, financial, securities and other matters. I am generally familiar with the organization, business and affairs of the Company. I am also familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company in connection with the offering and sale of the Corporate Units, and I have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents and such questions of the law as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. In addition, I have responsibility for supervising lawyers who may have been asked by me or others to review legal matters arising in connection with the offering and sale of the Corporate Units. Accordingly, some of the matters referred to herein have not been handled personally by me, but I have been made familiar with the facts and circumstances and the applicable law, and the opinions herein expressed are my own or are opinions of others in which I concur.

VI-1

On this basis I am of the opinion that:

1.    The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Virginia, and has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement; and the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

2.     Each Significant Subsidiary of the Company has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the respective laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has organizational power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.    There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened, to which the Company or one of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ properties is subject other than any proceedings described in the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus and proceedings which I believe are not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the power or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby or by the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus.

I am a member of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Virginia and I do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than those of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States of America. This opinion may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any person without my prior written consent, except that I hereby consent to disclosure of this opinion letter by any Underwriter on a confidential basis to: (i) any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Underwriter and (ii) any other person pursuant to orders or legal process of any court or as otherwise required of such Underwriter by law, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, solely for the purpose of establishing the existence of this opinion letter and on the condition and understanding that no such regulatory authority or other person is authorized to rely on the foregoing opinions for any other purpose. I do not undertake to advise you of any changes in the opinions expressed herein resulting from matters that may hereinafter arise or that may hereinafter be brought to my attention.
