Gov. Mills Says Proposed NextEra Acquisition of Dominion Needs Scrutiny
Governor Janet Mills says five New England states oppose NextEra’s proposed purchase of Dominion Energy, arguing it would concentrate critical generation and transmission assets, limit competition in Maine, and make lower power costs harder to achieve. Mills urges FERC and the DOJ to apply the highest level of scrutiny, noting the deal would create the largest U.S. electric utility.
