Contract Negotiation Process Overview
Contract negotiations occurred on a compressed timeline after Dominion’s base rate case,
which did not resolve until late 2025. As VEPGA members are aware, the timing of the
VEPGA contact negotiations does not align with member budgeting process, but the
VEPGA Negotiation Team made every effort to share updates with VEPGA member during
the negotiation process. Below is a timeline of the contract negotiation process, including
key milestones and communications to VEPGA members:
• VEPGA Negotiation Team solicited contract issues from members through a survey
sent to all members, quarterly board meetings and annual meeting to prepare for
the contract negotiation priorities and incorporate feedback from VEPGA members.
• Dominion’s 2025 biennial review resulted in significant changes in Dominion’s
service, which led to VEPGA not receiving Dominion’s proposal or supporting
workpapers until late-January 2026. Jump to an indexed page (10 of 10)
