Va. lawmakers want more time for state review of proposed Dominion Energy merger

Virginia lawmakers are urging Gov. Abigail Spanberger to call a special session to extend the State Corporation Commission's review of Dominion Energy's proposed $67 billion merger with NextEra Energy. The merger, which would serve 10 million utility customers across four states, requires regulatory approvals and faces a 60-day review period extendable by 120 days under Virginia law. Lawmakers argue the commission needs additional time to assess the deal's risks and conditions.
