Dominion Resources, Inc., has become Dominion Energy, Inc., after shareholders, meeting in Richmond, Virginia, May 10, voted to change the company’s name.

“While our name may be changing, what is not changing is our commit- ment to safety, customer service and our  communities,”  said  Thomas F. Farrell II, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Dominion Energy. “Our 16,200 employees remain dedicated to meeting the needs of our six 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.”

The company’s local electric and natural gas utilities and many other businesses  will  unify  under the Dominion Energy name in the  coming days. 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. One of those changes, effective May 12, is that Dominion North Carolina Power is now Dominion Energy North Carolina
