听证官裁定：NextEra 收购 Dominion 案可审查其佛州政治干预历史
据WHRO与《弗吉尼亚信使报》报道，在 NextEra 能源公司以670亿美元收购 Dominion 能源案的监管审查中，听证官10月2日裁定，反对方可以就 NextEra 在佛罗里达州被指干预政治的历史提出证据。
消费者权益组织主张，NextEra 在佛州曾被曝资助"影子候选人"等政治操作，监管机构在决定是否批准这桩全美公用事业史上最大收购案之一时，应将其诚信记录纳入考量。NextEra 方面则认为这些指控与本次收购的公共利益审查无关。
这桩收购案若获批准，将重塑美国东南部与大西洋沿岸的电力版图。弗吉尼亚州公司委员会（SCC）对交易的审查预计将持续数月，审查范围涵盖电价影响、供电可靠性、电网投资承诺等核心议题。
听证官的裁决意味着，反对方可以在正式听证中传唤相关证人、出示佛州政治献金记录。SCC 的最终决定将影响弗吉尼亚州数百万电力用户的供应商归属，各方都在为漫长的听证程序做准备。
Hearing Officer Rules NextEra's Florida Political History Fair Game in $67B Dominion Deal Review
In the regulatory review of NextEra Energy's $67 billion acquisition of Dominion Energy, a hearing officer ruled October 2 that opponents may introduce evidence about NextEra's alleged political interference in Florida, WHRO and Virginia Mercury reported.
Consumer advocates argue NextEra's reported funding of "ghost candidates" and other Florida political operations bears on its fitness as an owner in one of the largest utility acquisitions in U.S. history. NextEra countered that the allegations are irrelevant to the deal's public-interest review.
If approved, the deal would reshape the power map of the Southeast and Atlantic coast. The Virginia State Corporation Commission's review is expected to run for months, covering rate impacts, reliability, grid-investment commitments, and other core issues.
The ruling means opponents may call witnesses and present Florida political-spending records at formal hearings. The SCC's final decision will determine the supplier for millions of Virginia electricity customers, and all sides are preparing for lengthy proceedings.
