Dominion Energy shareholders approved the proposed merger with NextEra Energy, valued at approximately $66.8 billion to $67 billion, with 98% of votes reportedly favoring the transaction. The shareholder vote is a major corporate-action milestone, but the merger still requires state and federal regulatory approvals. Virginia’s State Corporation Commission is expected to rule on the transaction in January 2027, while the companies continue targeting closing in the second half of 2027. The combination is expected to create one of the world’s largest regulated electric utilities by market capitalization.
