NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy unveiled an expanded pitch aimed at meeting Virginia's growing power demand, building on their existing partnership. Separately, NextEra's nuclear power investments received a $1.9 billion boost, underscoring the utility's strategy of leaning into nuclear generation to serve data-center and broader electrification demand. The moves come as utilities in high-growth data-center corridors like Virginia race to secure new generation capacity. The nuclear investment adds to NextEra's efforts to position itself as a key supplier of reliable, carbon-free baseload power for AI-driven electricity demand growth.
