The North Anna Power Station is jointly owned by Virginia Electric and Power Company (88.4%) and Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (11.6%).

However, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative is responsible for 10.74% of the decommissioning obligation. The amounts stated in the above tables reflect only that portion of the decommissioning obligation attributable to Old Dominion Electric Cooperative.

2 The Allocated Radiological Funds amounts shown exclude amounts designated for the future decommissioning of the independent spent fuel storage installation, spent fuel management, and non-radiological decommissioning. The amount of decommissioning funds is the after-tax amount of funds accumulated through December 31, 2018.

3 Negative amounts (if any) indicate that the Trust fund values are less than the values of the NRC Minimum Amounts for the period indicated.

4 The future value calculation reflects a 2% real rate of return applied from January 1, 2019 to 3.5 years after start of decommissioning assuming a 0%

escalation rate.

5 Adjustment F~ctors unsed in calculating NRC Minimum Values are based on preliminary December 2018 BLS Producer Price Indices, as final December 2018 indices were not available at the time of the calculation.
