NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy File Merger Applications

NextEra Energy (NEE) and Dominion Energy (D) filed applications seeking regulatory approval of their proposed combination with the Virginia State Corporation Commission, the North Carolina Utilities Commission, the Public Service Commission of South Carolina, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The proposed combination is designed to preserve Dominion Energy's local strengths with NextEra Energy's added resources, balance sheet strength, supply chain expertise, construction experience and operating capabilities to help meet that demand reliably and affordably over the long term. The combined company would serve approximately 10 million customer accounts across four of the nation's fastest-growing states and be better positioned to buy, build, finance and operate the energy infrastructure customers need more efficiently. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals by the shareholders of NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy, state regulatory review and approval from the Virginia State Corporation Commission, the North Carolina Utilities Commission and the Public Service Commission of South Carolina, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act and approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
