NextEra, Dominion in Talks to Create $400 Billion US Utility, FT Reports
The deal would unite two of the nation’s largest utilities and expand NextEra’s reach into the biggest data-center grid as power demand climbs.
- On Friday, Florida-based NextEra Energy entered advanced talks to acquire Virginia-based Dominion Energy in a mostly stock deal that would create a company valued at about $400 billion including debt.
- The potential merger responds to soaring United States power consumption, which hit a second straight record in 2025, driven largely by surging electricity demand from data centers.
- Acquiring Dominion would expand NextEra's reach into the PJM Interconnection, the country's largest electric grid encompassing Northern Virginia, where NextEra holds a $195 billion market value versus Dominion's approximately $54 billion.
- Sources cautioned that discussions remain ongoing and could still conclude without an agreement, though a potential announcement could come as early as next week if negotiations succeed.
- This potential deal reflects a consolidating utility industry where investors are eager to fund new power infrastructure; recent transactions include Stonepeak Partners buying Cleco Power and BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners acquiring Allete Inc.
