670 亿美元电力并购案在弗州遇阻,副州长正式表态反对

佛罗里达州 NextEra 能源公司拟以 670 亿美元收购弗吉尼亚州最大电力公司 Dominion Energy 的交易,在弗州遭遇越来越大的阻力。副州长加扎拉·哈希米在完成覆盖劳登县、诺福克、里士满、夏洛茨维尔和罗阿诺克的五城"能源成本倾听之旅"后,于 10 月初正式宣布反对该合并,并发布 69 页报告,指出交易缺乏对用户电价的充分保护。她是全州首位正式表态反对的民选官员。
州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格也对交易深表怀疑,已正式介入州公司委员会(SCC)的监管审查程序,要求确保电费减免、约一万名 Dominion 在州内员工的岗位保障以及清洁能源发展。据报道,10 月 10 日又有弗州官员和居民提出新的担忧,反对者聚焦数据中心用电需求激增和电价上涨。两家公司则加码让步,将居民每月 10 美元的电费抵免延长至四年、总额约 22 亿美元,并承诺五年内保留现有员工。
该交易若获批,将诞生全球最大的受监管电力公司之一,覆盖弗吉尼亚 270 万用户。SCC 的证据听证会定于 11 月 17 日开始,决定截止日期为 2027 年 1 月 11 日。分析人士认为,监管审批仍是这笔交易最大的不确定因素。

Lt. Gov. Formally Opposes $67B NextEra-Dominion Merger in Virginia
NextEra Energy's proposed $67 billion acquisition of Dominion Energy, Virginia's largest electric utility, is meeting growing resistance in the state. Lt. Gov. Ghazala Hashmi, after completing a five-city "energy cost listening tour" covering Loudoun County, Norfolk, Richmond, Charlottesville, and Roanoke, formally announced opposition to the merger in early October and released a 69-page report arguing the deal lacks adequate ratepayer protections — the first statewide elected official to formally oppose it.
Gov. Abigail Spanberger is also deeply skeptical and has formally intervened in the State Corporation Commission (SCC) regulatory review, demanding bill relief, job security for Dominion's roughly 10,000 in-state employees, and clean-energy development. New concerns raised by Virginia officials and residents on Oct. 10 focused on surging data-center power demand and rising rates. The companies sweetened concessions, extending the $10-per-month residential bill credit to four years (about $2.2 billion total) and pledging to retain the existing workforce for five years.
If approved, the deal would create one of the world's largest regulated utilities, serving 2.7 million Virginia customers. The SCC's evidentiary hearing begins Nov. 17, with a decision deadline of Jan. 11, 2027. Analysts say regulatory approval remains the deal's biggest uncertainty.
