Tell the SCC: Reject NextEra's Takeover of Dominion
NextEra, the Florida-based utility giant, wants to buy Dominion Energy in a $67 billion deal. The State Corporation Commission decides whether it goes through, and it's accepting written public comments until November 9. More than 1,100 comments have already been filed. Every one becomes part of the official record in Case No. PUR-2026-00112.
You don't need to be an energy expert to weigh in. Tell the Commission who you are, where you live, and what this deal would mean for you, whether that's your power bill, data centers in your community, or NextEra's track record in Florida. We have a letter ready to go, but a sentence or two in your own words makes it harder to ignore.

Tell the SCC: Hold More Hearings for Virginians Where They Live on the NextEra Deal
So far, the SCC has granted 3 in-person hearings. The first hearing is November 5, 2-5pm, at 1300 E Main St in Richmond. We will share the other two locations and dates as soon as we have them. For areas not covered, the only way to weigh in on the NextEra-Dominion merger will be to submit your phone number to the State Corporation Commission, sign up for one of three windows in November, and wait for a call without knowing when it will come. The Commission’s own instructions warn witnesses to “be prepared to stay as long as it takes” because the calling order can change.
A field hearing gives people a specific time and place in their community that they can actually plan for. Contact the SCC now to demand a hearing on the NextEra merger in your area.
