Overview
The largest US electric utility holding company by market capitalization, which announced a $67 billion all-stock acquisition of Dominion Energy in May 2026 (the largest energy deal since the 1998 Exxon-Mobil merger), gaining access to Dominion's roughly 51 GW of contracted data center capacity in Northern Virginia's 'data center alley.' NextEra also partnered with Google to build gigawatt-scale AI data centers powered by clean energy.
