NextEra Energy announced a $66.8 billion all-stock deal to acquire Dominion Energy, forming the world's largest regulated utility by market value. The combined company will serve about 10 million customers across four states and operate 110 gigawatts of generation capacity, gaining a major presence in Northern Virginia's key data center hub. This merger reflects the growing impact of AI on electricity demand, as data centers from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta drive power needs higher. The deal awaits regulatory approval and is expected to close within 12 to 18 months, with plans to maintain dual headquarters and existing utility brands.
