Governor Steps In on $67B Energy Merger | Roanoke News

from Roanoke News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Virginia’s Governor Abigail Spanberger is making history by stepping in to defend Virginians’ interests in the $67 billion NextEra-Dominion merger — the first time a Virginia governor has directly intervened with the State Corporation Commission. Concerned that the deal may prioritize corporate profits over affordability, job security, and clean energy goals, her administration is demanding the state’s needs be front and center. This bold move puts Virginia’s future energy system — affordable, reliable, local, and clean — squarely on the table, signaling that the Commonwealth won’t stand by as this historic deal reshapes its energy landscape.
