Dominion and NextEra invest $1B yearly in Virginia suppliers
Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy have proposed launching a $1 billion annual program for Virginia suppliers over five years, contingent upon the approval of the proposed deal by regulatory authorities. The program aims to boost spending on local contractors and vendors, including extending electricity bill credits, increasing assistance for low-income households, and allocating $100 million to workforce skills development—all while maintaining current employment levels. This move is part of the companies’ planned merger, expected to be completed in 2027, which seeks to expand their electricity generation capabilities and meet the rising energy demand driven by the expansion of data centers and AI applications, with a focus on supporting Virginia’s local economy.
