Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The merger proposal is currently under the formal oversight of the State Corporation Commission regarding its impact on Virginia ratepayers. Attorney General Jay Jones argued that these significant changes warrant considering the proposal an amendment to the initial filing, requiring the 180-day review clock to be reset to the date of the supplemental filing.

The State Corporation Commission reviews the merger application, which follows NextEra Energy's acquisition of Dominion Energy's local subsidiaries in several states.
