TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION:

	By order dated December 15, 1999 (HCAR No. 27112) (the "Order") in the
above captioned proceedings, the Securities and Exchange Commission
("Commission") permitted the Application-Declaration of Dominion Resources,
Inc. ("Dominion"), an exempt holding company, and Consolidated Natural Gas
Company ("Old CNG"), a registered holding company, to become effective.
Concurrently, by order dated December 15, 1999 (HCAR No. 27113), the
Commission authorized the merger (the "Merger") of Old CNG into a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Dominion, which subsidiary as the survivor of the
merger changed its name to Consolidated Natural Gas Company ("CNG").  The
Merger was consummated on January 28, 2000.  The Order authorized post-
Merger financings for Dominion and CNG, and requires the filing by Dominion
of certain certificates of notification pursuant to Rule 24.  This
certificate provides financial information for the second quarter of 2000
with respect to Dominion and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including
Dominion Energy, Inc. ("DEI"), Dominion Capital, Inc. ("DCI"), and Virginia
Electric Power Company ("Virginia Power"), and subsidiaries of DEI, DCI and
Virginia Power.

	Rule 52 transactions occurring during the quarter, if any, are reported
on Forms U-6B-2 filed as exhibits to this certificate.

I.   FINANCING BY DOMINION

	 A. Sale of Dominion Common Stock

	There were no new issues of common stock during the period.

	 B. Short Term Debt

	During the period, Dominion, Virginia Power and DCI issued and
sold commercial paper.  The maximum principal amount of each such
company's commercial paper outstanding at any time during this
period and the principal amount of commercial paper of each company
outstanding on June 30, 2000 were as follows.
							Maximum          Principal Amount
						   Outstanding         as of 6/30/00
						   (thousands)          (thousands)
						   ___________        ________________

Dominion                      $4,137,878           $3,451,259
Virginia Power                   458,687              444,187
DCI		                          394,878              324,562


	In June 2000, Dominion entered into a credit facility agreement
that supports the combined commercial paper programs of CNG,
Virginia Power and Dominion.  This new facility replaced the
following facilities:

$300 million Second Amended and Restated Short Term Credit
   Agreement of Dominion
$200 million Virgina Power Amended and Restated 364-Day Credit
   Agreement
$1 billion CNG Credit Agreement
$400 million DEI Multi-Currency Credit agreement

The new credit facility will allow aggregate borrowings by Virginia
Power, Dominion and CNG up to $1.75 billion.  Subject to the
maximum aggregate limit of $1.75 billion, Virginia Power and CNG
may borrow up to the full commitment and Dominion may borrow up to
$750 million.  Although CNG and Virginia Power each have access to
the full $1.75 billion, they will operate within internally
allocated limits of $850 million and $200 million, respectively.
The transaction results in a replacement of four earlier individual
credit agreements as permitted by the Order.

	C. Long-Term Debt

	On June 21, 2000 Dominion sold $700,000,000 principal amount of
2000 Series A 8-1/8%	Senior Notes Due 2010 through an underwritten
public offering.  The price to the public was 99.903%, the
underwriting discount was 0.65% and the proceeds to Dominion was
$694,771,000 (99.253%).  The underwriters were Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, ABN AMRO Incorporated, Banc One Capital
Markets, Inc. and Wachovia Securities, Inc.  The sale occurred
pursuant to Dominion's shelf Registration Statement No. 333-93187.
The registration statement and the Rule 424(b) prospectus, filed
with the Commission on June 22, 2000, are hereby incorporated by
reference.
