Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger will move to intervene in NextEra Energy’s proposed merger with Dominion Energy, adding uncertainty to a deal that would be among the largest power acquisitions in the U.S., according to Bloomberg. The intervention is tied to concerns about electricity prices, CNBC reports. Virginia’s State Corporation Commission (SCC), which regulates utilities in the state, is responsible for reviewing the merger application. Under the process described by CNBC, the SCC can accept the deal, reject it, or approve it with conditions intended to address rate or other regulatory concerns. The reports also indicate the governor’s involvement increases political and regulatory scrutiny as the companies work toward completing the transaction. While the sources agree on the governor’s intent to seek intervention and the SCC’s role in the review, they do not specify the exact conditions that may be imposed or the ultimate outcome of the proceedings. The merger’s completion therefore depends on regulatory findings in Virginia and the ability of the parties to satisfy any requirements set by the SCC.
