CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) – A Florida-based company has reached a deal to acquire Dominion Energy.
The agreement with NextEra Energy would create a utility giant, impacting millions of Virginians.
It comes amid a rise in demand for electricity due to the growth of AI data centers.
The two utilities serve a combined 10 million customers across Virginia, the Carolinas, and Florida.
The nearly $67 billion, all-stock deal still needs approval from federal regulators.
