## Resource

NextEra and Dominion are merging to become America’s largest electric utility, serving 10 million customers across the Southeast — a deal already filed with state and federal regulators. With AI data centers driving unprecedented power demand, consolidation is accelerating. Virginia’s Attorney General vows to protect consumers, demanding transparency. To win approval, the companies are offering $2.25 billion in bill credits — paid by shareholders, not customers, for two years. The new giant will blend nuclear, gas, solar, and battery tech to build infrastructure faster and keep rates lower.
