Lawmakers call for special session to debate Dominion-NextEra merger

Virginia lawmakers urge Gov. Abigail Spanberger to call a special session to extend the State Corporation Commission's review period for the proposed $67 billion Dominion Energy-NextEra Energy merger. The merger, which would create the largest U.S. utility, requires approvals from multiple states and federal agencies. Lawmakers argue acting first would weaken Virginia's negotiating leverage and harm ratepayers.
