NextEra Eyes Dominion Deal | Richmond News

NextEra, parent of Florida Power and Light, is eyeing a $67 billion buyout of Dominion—raising alarms over rising energy costs. Past mergers, like NextEra’s 2021 deal, saw bills spike 30%, fueling fears Virginia customers could pay more. While some, including Bill Murray, see it as growth-focused, critics like Blair St. Ledger-Olson warn it’s a bad bet for consumers. Complicating matters: State Corporation Commission Chair Kelsey Bagot, who recently moved from NextEra to the commission, refuses to recuse herself—a move lawmakers call a blatant conflict of interest. The final call rests with the commission, whose decision could reshape energy prices and consumer futures. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
