Dominion earnings beat consensus Wall Street estimates by about 2 cents/share coming in at $180 million (72 cents/share), compared to $139 million (59 cents/share) for the same period in 2000. The improved performance was mainly attributed to higher gas and oil prices and the addition of the Millstone nuclear power station. Other highlights included the addition of more than 2,600 MW of new generation during the quarter, 47,000 new energy delivery customers, a 130 Bcf increase in proven gas and oil reserves to 2.95 Tcfe–resulting in a 266% reserve replacement ratio, and the divestiture of Saxon Mortgage.
