NextEra Energy, America’s largest renewable energy company, has announced the acquisition of Dominion Energy, according to Bloomberg. The deal unites two key players in the race to power AI data centers.

With the rapid expansion of AI, data center power demand has grown explosively. Both NextEra and Dominion hold significant positions in the US energy market, and their merger would create a comprehensive energy giant spanning renewable and traditional power generation.

Industry analysts note that this deal reflects AI infrastructure investment shifting from chips and computing power toward the energy sector. Data center operators are actively seeking reliable power suppliers to meet growing computational demands.

The exact transaction amount has not been disclosed, but it is expected to be one of the largest energy sector M&A deals in recent years. The deal still requires regulatory approval and is expected to close in the second half of the year.
