Dominion, NextEra Expand Virginia Benefits Package for Proposed Combination

On September 14, 2026, Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy announced an enhanced package tied to their proposed combination, including four years of $10 monthly residential bill credits, a $100 million increase to EnergyShare assistance through 2038, and commitments to hold customers harmless from merger costs. The companies would maintain Virginia employee headcount for five years, add 600 NextEra jobs and 400 supplier jobs, fund a $100 million workforce program, and establish up to a $1 billion annual Virginia supplier program for five years. The commitments require regulatory approvals, including review by the Virginia State Corporation Commission, and the companies continue to expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2027.
