NextEra Energy Eyes Dominion Tie-Up as AI-Driven Power Demand Surges

NextEra Energy is reportedly in talks to merge with Dominion Energy in a mostly stock deal that could create a utility giant worth more than $400 billion, bolstered by rising power demand from AI data centers and Dominion’s Virginia footprint in “data center alley.” The deal would expand NextEra’s energy mix beyond clean power to include gas and nuclear, align with its plan to add about 15 GW of data-center power over nine years, and leverage tech ties (Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, etc.). The arrangement isn’t final and would face regulatory scrutiny; NEE stock fell about 2.4% on the news, though it’s up ~17% year-to-date, with analysts averaging a Moderate Buy and a target around $100.70 implying ~7.9% upside.
