What the NextEra-Dominion merger means for New England

NextEra Energy has announced a 67 billion dollar acquisition of Dominion Energy, a deal that would consolidate ownership of all nuclear power generation in New England. The combined entity would control approximately one quarter of the regional energy supply.

NextEra Energy, the owner of New Hampshire's Seabrook Nuclear Power Station, announced plans last month to acquire Dominion Energy, the owner of Connecticut's Millstone Nuclear Power Station, in a deal worth nearly $67 billion.
