Shareholders voted on May 10 to change the name of Dominion Resources Inc., to Dominion Energy Inc. (NYSE: D), creating an umbrella identity for the company’s 14 electric and natural gas utilities and other businesses.
“While our name may be changing, what is not changing is our commitment to safety, customer service and our communities,” said Thomas F. Farrell, II, chairman, president and CEO, in a statement. “Our 16,200 employees remain dedicated to meeting the needs of our 6 million customers and others who depend on us. This new name is reflective of that dedication. Energy is at the core of our modern life.”
Changes to company bills, building signage, trucks, employee uniforms and other identifying marks will occur in the coming months.
Dominion Energy plans to request name changes to several customer-facing legal and “doing business as” entities. Selected changes, effective May 12 unless otherwise noted, include:
The company’s logo, last modified in 2000, reflects the change. Designed by the global branding firm of Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv, it retains the “D” shape while updating the look with stripes that suggest energy.
The names of Dominion Energy’s three operating segments—through which the company manages its daily operations and that the company uses in its financial reporting to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission—will change to:
- Power Delivery Group will replace Dominion Virginia Power;
- Power Generation Group will replace Dominion Generation; and
- Gas Infrastructure Group will replace Dominion Energy.
The board of directors of Dominion Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of Dominion Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: DM), a publicly owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy, also intends to file an Amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership in Delaware that would allow the partnership to be known as Dominion Energy Midstream Partners LP, retaining its “DM” ticker symbol.
Tonight, the company plans to change its web address to www.DominionEnergy.com. Visitors to the current site, dom.com, will be redirected automatically.
