Households across Southwest Virginia are already facing rising energy bills. The last thing families need right now is another rate increase from APCo. @clean_virginia

NextEra wants to become the world's largest electric utility monopoly, and its political track record should worry every Virginian: Ghost candidates. Secret money networks. A CEO who resigned abruptly and a $150 million securities settlement. Before this deal gets approved, Virginians need more time to understand what kind of company will be in charge of their electric bills. 🚨 Lawmakers have a responsibility to protect their constituents from the risks of this acquisition. Contact them today: Share your concerns, ask what they are doing to protect their constituents and urge them to come out publicly in opposition to the merger and in support of Virginia families. 🔗 cleanvirginia.org/act/stopth…

NextEra wants a bigger piece of Virginia's booming data ceter market, but one major question remains unresolved: who's going to pay for it? Neither Dominion nor NextEra has taken a position on how those costs should be allocated. Before Virginia approves a deal that could drive demand for billions in new generation and transmission infrastructure, it must protect utility customers from paying the price. 🚨 Lawmakers have a responsibility to protect their constituents from the risks of this acquisition.

While NextEra's CEO made over $24 million last year, its customers got hit with the largest residential rate hike in US history. Virginians are already struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living — they certainly can't afford to fund NextEra's corporate greed. 🚨 Lawmakers have a responsibility to protect their constituents from the risks of this acquisition.

While Virginia weighs whether to approve NextEra’s $67 billion takeover of Dominion Energy, NextEra CEO John Ketchum is at the White House thanking President Trump for his “leadership” on energy issues and boasting about his company spending $1 billion a week on energy infrastructure. When utilities build more, they profit more. That’s because those billions of dollars are recovered through your energy bills. Before this deal goes through, Virginians deserve to know what’s at stake and who’s willing to stand up to protect them. 🚨 Head to the link in our bio to contact Virginia's leaders and urge them to convene a special session before the window to act closes. 🔗 cleanvirginia.org/act/stopth…

The number of lawmakers speaking out about NextEra’s proposed $67 billion Dominion acquisition is growing. 👀 In an effort led by Virginia Representative Suhas Subramanyam, a dozen lawmakers from seven states today raised concerns about the deal’s potential to raise energy costs for consumers. When the stakes are this high, Virginians deserve to know who's willing to stand up for them. Thank you @repsuhas for your leadership, and for fighting to protect ratepayers from the risks of this unprecedented proposal. cbsnews.com/news/nextera-dom…

Over the last month, a bipartisan group of lawmakers, Attorney General @jonesjay Lieutenant Governor @ltgovhashmi and a former Virgina governor all called for more time to review NextEra's proposed Dominion takeover. Today, the window to act closed, leaving those calls unanswered. Virginia regulators are expected to reach a decison about the deal that would create the world's largest electric utility monopoly by January. 🚨 Lawmakers have a responsibility to protect their constituents from the risks of this acquisition.

Before the Commonwealth approves a deal that would create the world's largest electric utility monopoly, Virginians deserve to know what kind of company they're dealing with. In Florida, NextEra's customers experience significant affordability issues which begs the question: how can Virginians expect anything different?

Before the Commonwealth approves a proposal that would change it's energy landscape for decades to come, Virginians deserve to know what kind of company they're dealing with. Dominion and NextEra's resistance to sharing that information raises red flags.

When Dominion and NextEra announced a ""new benefits package"" last week, it didn't simply enhance their existing proposal, it fundamentally changed the terms of the deal. The decision to introduce these late-stage concessions after the review is already well underway makes the need to extend the review timeline more urgent than ever. 🚨 Head to the link in our bio to contact Virginia's leaders and urge them to convene a special session to extend the review timeline before the window to act closes. 🔗 cleanvirginia.org/act/stopth…

Newly filed campaign finance reports reveal Dominion’s total political spending for 2026 now stands at $6.1M. More than half — $3.67M —came after NextEra announced its proposed $67B acquisition. The timing of Dominion’s increased off-year spending raises serious red flags about the influence that corporate cash can exert over the political system and the risks of allowing that influence to grow even stronger if NextEra — a corporation that has a long and troubling rack record of political influence — takes over. Virginia needs more time to understand the full impacts of this deal. Contact state leaders now and urge them to convene a special session to extend the review period for the proposed acquisition.

Governor Spanberger's data center accountability framework represents a meaningful step forward in addressing the impact of Virginia's unchecked data center growth. We look forward to working with the Governor and General Assembly to establish enforceable standards that protect electric customers, hold the industry accountable for the costs it creates, and puts people's needs ahead of corporate profits. Clean Virginia supports a pause on further data center development while these details are worked out. Read our full statement: cleanvirginia.org/2026/09/18…

Behind NextEra and Dominion's newly revised "benefits package" is a list of temporary sweeteners that still fails to answer the one question that matters: Will this change in control jeopardize reliable service at a rate Virginians can afford? That's the standard. And no package of promises can substitute for the information regulators need to determine if this deal meets it. Now more than ever, Virginia leaders must convene a special session to extend the review period and ensure regulators have the time and information they need to make that determination. vpm.org/news/2026-09-14/domi… @myVPM @pw_larsen

As the NextEra-Dominion merger proceeding moves forward, Delegate JJ Singh is raising the right questions about what this deal could mean for Virginians in the long-term. In a letter sent to the SCC today, @SinghforVA asked the Commission to address what happens to Dominion’s customers and employees once temporary protections fade out, and to what extent the data center industry will benefit, at what cost to Virginians.

Five governors united last week in opposition to NextEra’s proposed acquisition of Dominion Energy, arguing the deal could impact rates and infrastructure improvements. The state leaders, representing Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and Rhode Island expressed concerns about both companies stating, "NextEra has chosen to spend its considerable resources to disrupt needed infrastructure development in New England while Dominion has used its resources to lobby for out-of-market payments under the threat of retirement, which could have had dramatic impacts on the region’s resource adequacy." mainepublic.org/business-and…

Thank you Senator @RussetPerry, for keeping the focus where it belongs. Intervention is critical. So is ensuring regulators have a sufficient amount of time to review the most consequential decision facing the Commonwealth. Virginians deserve both.
Scrutiny is welcome. But intervention alone doesn’t fix the underlying problem: VA is reviewing the largest utility merger in HISTORY on an inadequate timeline w/out critical laws & protections in place. We can ask more questions AND extend the timeline. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

The proposed NextEra-Dominion acquisition is a stark reminder of why Virginia needs campaign finance reform, now more than ever. When billions of dollars and one of the largest corporate takeovers in state history are on the line, Virginians deserve representatives accountable to people — not wealthy corporations. cardinalnews.org/2026/07/30/…

An unprecedented utility takeover + a growing groundwater crisis = time for a special session. Virginia can't afford to wait. @SpanbergerForVA @ssurovell @SenLouiseLucas @SpeakerDonScott
Today @RichardStuartVA & I asked @GovernorVA to call a Special Session so the #VALeg can act on the alarming groundwater report released last week. The report lays bare that our drinking water & the health of our Eastern aquifers are under critical threat. We need to act now. 1/2
