Much additional information on the $BRKA purchase of Dominion assets can be found in this presentation posted by Berkshire Hathaway energy this morning:

In addition to the $3.8 billion in cash used to fund the transaction, over the next year BHE plans to pay off $1.2 billion in maturing debt that is being assumed in the transaction bringing the cash commitment to $5 billion.
Here's the debt of Dominion Gas, the segment of Dominion containing the pipeline assets. (From $D 10-K)
Segment information
I am not sure that the Dominion Energy Gas segment results map exactly to what Berkshire is purchasing. The parent company apparently has some transmission assets.

But I think segment data in the prior tweet contains a rough idea of the numbers behind what is being purchased.
It's a boring deal with boring assets that appear to be capable of providing good incremental income for the capital invested - which is exactly what Buffett has been looking for over the past 20 years - that's the BHE platform.

I view this as a BHE "tuck-in" acquisition. Small.
I don't really have much more to add beyond this thread. I was going to write a post about the deal but there isn't a whole lot to discuss beyond the media reports. I may write a few paragraphs in this week's newsletter.
