NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy Announce Virginia Benefits Package

In direct response to feedback from policymakers and other stakeholders, NextEra Energy (NEE) and Dominion Energy, Inc. (D) announced a Virginia benefits package as part of their proposed combination, designed to put customers first while positioning the Commonwealth as a global energy leader with long-term bill relief for residential customers, long-term affordability benefits, data center cost protections, accelerated clean energy deployment and thousands of new direct and indirect jobs in Richmond and across the Commonwealth. The package is organized around the priorities Virginians have made clear: affordability, jobs and building more clean energy and battery storage faster to decrease reliance on expensive imports. It puts customers first by proposing four years of residential bill credits, delivering long-term affordability benefits, expanding low-income financial assistance and ensuring data centers pay their fair share. At the same time, it would position Virginia as a global energy leader, with a major new NextEra Energy presence in Richmond, significant new jobs across Virginia, a stronger local supply chain and national-scale energy innovation anchored in the Commonwealth. Under the expanded package, the companies would seek to double residential bill relief, extending $10 per month in bill credits from the previously proposed two years to four years, by working with the State Corporation Commission to redirect the portion of credits that would otherwise go to large-scale data centers toward additional relief for residential customers and increasing the aggregate shareholder-funded Virginia customer credit amount. The companies would also expand low-income financial assistance by increasing EnergyShare, Dominion Energy's shareholder-funded energy bill assistance program, by $100M through 2038 and reaffirm their existing commitment to hold customers harmless from all merger costs. Customers will not pay one cent for this combination. The proposed combination remains subject to required regulatory approvals, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, and other customary closing conditions. The companies submitted additional information regarding this enhanced Virginia benefits package to the SCC. These commitments are contingent upon approval and closing of the proposed combination. In the event of any inconsistency, the commitments contained in the companies' regulatory filings, as approved by the applicable regulatory authorities, will govern. The companies continue to expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2027.
