NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy expand Virginia benefits package tied to merger
NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy issued a joint press release on September 14, 2026, announcing an enhanced Virginia benefits package under their pending Merger Agreement. The package proposes doubling $10 per month residential bill credits from two years to four years, a $100 million increase to the EnergyShare low-income assistance program, and new jobs and a Richmond office tower. The companies say these commitments depend on approval and closing of the combination, which they expect in the second half of 2027, so the filing does not change the financial results of either company.
Key points
- Residential bill credits of $10 per month would run four years instead of two.
- EnergyShare low-income assistance would increase by $100 million through 2038.
- NextEra plans 600 new jobs in Virginia and a $100 million workforce development fund; the companies expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2027.
