Stop the Utility Company Mega-Merger

Virginia regulators are considering a $67 billion utility mega-merger that would create the largest regulated utility in the country — and families could be left paying the price.

NextEra Energy wants to take over Dominion Energy, but Virginians across the state are already warning that the deal could mean higher bills, weaker protections, and more costs pushed onto ratepayers. Utility companies are promising savings and stability, but promises and press releases are not protection on a power bill.

This is not just a Virginia issue. If regulators allow one massive utility merger to move forward without strong public-interest protections, it could set a dangerous precedent for utility consolidation across the country — putting corporate growth ahead of affordable power, reliable service, and accountability to the people who depend on it.

The Virginia State Corporation Commission has the power to stop this merger. Regulators must reject any deal that fails to prove clear, enforceable, long-term benefits for ratepayers — not shareholders, data centers, or corporate executives.

Add your name now and tell the Virginia State Corporation Commission: protect ratepayers and reject the Dominion-NextEra mega-merger.

The petition to the Virginia State Corporation Commission reads: "Reject the proposed Dominion Energy-NextEra Energy merger unless the companies can prove clear, enforceable, long-term public benefits for ratepayers. Do not allow a utility mega-merger that could raise costs, weaken accountability, or set a dangerous precedent for corporate consolidation at the expense of families."
