Millstone Nuclear Power Station

NextEra Energy plans to acquire Dominion Energy in a $67 billion merger, combining control of New England’s nuclear power plants, including Seabrook in New Hampshire and Millstone in Connecticut. The merger could reshape the region’s energy supply, which relies on nuclear power for 25% of energy and 50% of carbon-free power. Connecticut’s energy procurement process and state laws requiring inter-state coordination on nuclear contracts may influence the deal’s impact.
