Dominion Energy asked to merge with NextEra, creating a massive utility

In this mention

Dominion Energy and NextEra filed a $67 billion merger application with South Carolina regulators, proposing to create a mega-utility serving 10 million customers across four states. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, alongside other environmental and consumer advocacy groups, signed a joint statement opposing the merger, with SACE's Eddy Moore warning that the deal would benefit stockholders while providing minimal relief to South Carolina ratepayers. Concerns center on long-term rate impacts, environmental consequences, and NextEra's history of political influence in Florida.

Bigger is not always better, when it comes to controlling the cost and environmental impact of electric service. As proposed, NextEra and Dominion stockholders could make billions of dollars in exchange for giving customers in South Carolina effectively peanuts.
