DDominion Energy, Inc
Dominion Energy, Inc. and NextEra Energy, Inc. announced an enhanced Virginia benefits package as part of their proposed combination on September 14, 2026. The companies propose doubling residential bill credits from two to four years by extending $10 per month in credits and redirecting portions previously allocated for data centers toward additional residential relief. They also committed to increasing EnergyShare, a shareholder-funded energy bill assistance program, by $100 million through 2038. The package includes maintaining current employee headcount levels in Virginia for five years, adding 600 new NextEra Energy jobs and 400 supplier jobs, and building a new shareholder-funded co-headquarters tower in Richmond. Additionally, the companies pledged to contribute $100 million to a workforce development fund and establish up to a $1 billion annual, five-year Virginia Supplier Program. Dominion Energy operates as an integrated energy company providing electricity and natural gas services primarily in Virginia and the Carolinas.
