Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 31, 2018, the Company filed an application with the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia to increase its base rates for natural gas service by an additional $37.6 million in annual revenue. The proposed revenue increase reflects a reduction in tax expense of $16.3 million due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017; a transfer of $14.7 million currently recovered from The SAVE (Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy) Plan Rider; and increases to operations and maintenance, as well as plant in service since the Company’s last base rate proceeding. The base rate increase represents approximately $22.9 million in new revenue not currently paid by customers through The SAVE Plan Rider.

The Company anticipates that the new rates will become effective in January 2019, subject to refund, if a final order has not been issued.

A copy of the news release announcing the filing is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
