Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy submitted rebuttal testimony to the Virginia State Corporation Commission, adding financial and customer safeguards to their proposed merger. They accepted 101 of the 117 conditions proposed by Commission Staff and Consumer Counsel and offered enhancements or modifications to another 13.
The companies say the commitments strengthen financial separation, add independent oversight and help Dominion Energy Virginia meet growing electricity demand. They contend the safeguards would prevent the merger from impairing public service or leading to unjust rates as the deal advances through the approval process.
