NextEra Energy Inc's (NYSE:NEE) $190 billion all-stock takeover of Dominion Energy Inc (NYSE:D) announced on Monday would create the world's largest regulated electric utility and marks the most significant consolidation yet in the scramble to meet surging electricity demand from artificial intelligence data centres. The combination brings together two complementary pieces of the AI power puzzle.
The deal would combine two of the largest U.S. utilities into an East Coast energy titan with territory in Florida, the Carolinas and Virginia.
Dominion powers the world's largest data center market in Northern Virginia. NextEra is the biggest renewable energy developer in the U.S.
A tie-up between the two would create one of the largest power companies in the US by market value.
