What the filing saysVirginia SCC Final Order, Case PUR-2025-00057 (June 1, 2026), approved the large-load terms in Schedule L.P.S. as agreed in a partial stipulation (APCo, Google, Walmart and a customer group), with changes. No separate rate class. Initial contract term 14 years, including a load ramp of up to 4 years. Monthly billing demand of at least 80% of contract capacity. After 5 years a customer can cut contract capacity by up to 20% with no exit fee on 42 months' notice; a larger cut or termination is allowed after 5 years on 42 months' notice and carries an exit fee. The exit fee is reduced only when another customer takes over the same transmission and distribution facilities or APCo can show the generation capacity was reassigned or sold. Collateral rules are in the stipulation attachment (not read); cash collateral earns interest. APCo must report large-load customers, contracts and capital spending in future biennial reviews. APCo must file revised tariff sheets; the sheets were not read.
