Shareholders of Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy approved the proposed $67 billion all-stock combination, with NextEra designated as the owner of the combined utility. The transaction still requires state and federal regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second half of 2027. The merger includes a $2.25 billion billing credit for Dominion’s South Carolina ratepayers over two years. Virginia community groups and officials are seeking additional public hearings and raising concerns about customer affordability, grid reliability, employment, and potential monopoly effects.
