( October 8, 2026, 19:26 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, a global nonprofit focused on energy markets research, issued a briefing note to Virginia's public utilities regulator on the NextEra-Dominion merger saying that despite the success of the utility's current offshore wind projects and the consumer fuel cost savings related to the technology, the merger agreement fails to mention offshore wind, which had been a consideration for Dominion. "The merger could challenge the state's renewable energy transition," IEEFA said. "NextEra is looking out for its shareholders first and foremost, and not Virginia ratepayers. Politicians, regulators, and energy advocates in the commonwealth need to keep that point front and center as they consider the massive merger proposal in the months ahead."See file attachment....
