US finance editor.
And I am the US deals correspondent.
The atmosphere in here is electric.
Yeah.
It's interesting first in its scale.
It's the biggest deal of the year.
It's an all-stock acquisition, kind of framed as a combination or merger, but really it's an acquisition.
It's NextEra, the world's largest listed utility group by market cap, buying Dominion.
The deal is, it values Dominion about $67 billion equity value, around $120 billion enterprise value.
Where are these monsters located?
Sure.
So NextEra, their kind of home base is in Florida.
They own a subsidiary called Florida Power and Light, and that serves around 10 million customers in Florida.
And this is the grid, the power generation, or both?
Both.
Their home turf is Florida and Florida Power and Light.
And then Dominion basically has a real foothold in Virginia and the Carolinas.
But they don't overlap, but they will now be contiguous.
So like now, if this deal closes, you know, Nextera will control half of the eastern seaboard of the U.S.,
If to frame it in a proper empire building way.
