Back to video Article content Article content “Seeing that need to scale up at the highest level, at the top of the sector’s market cap, I think flips the entire way people are going to view M&A on its head,” said Nicholas Campanella, an analyst at Barclays. “If that’s going to happen and get done and close, then the game is on for it to happen anywhere across the country.” Article content The NextEra-Dominion acquisition follows a string of landmark power deals. In March, BlackRock Inc.’s Global Infrastructure Partners LP and EQT AB agreed to buy AES Corp. for about $10.7 billion. Last year, Constellation Energy Corp., the country’s largest owner of nuclear reactors, swooped up a major owner of natural gas-fired power plants for $16.4 billion. Article content These deals are part of a trend of ever larger transactions as power companies work to secure enough energy capacity at scale under tightening reliability, capital and execution constraints, according to a February Deloitte report. NextEra is raising the stakes even further with the sheer size of the combined companies. Article content Other recent utility deals include Stonepeak Partners LP and Bernhard Capital Partners agreeing to buy Louisiana utility Cleco Power and Global Infrastructure Partners buying Minnesota utility Allete Inc. Article content Article content It’s not just utilities being bought up. Power plant developers have become so attractive that even big technology companies are buying them to supply their data centers. In December, Alphabet Inc. announced it was buying clean energy developer Intersect Power LLC for $4.75 billion. Article content Whether companies are buying power plants to expand their generation capacity or acquiring full-scale utilities to grow across multiple states, the utility industry is reaching the same conclusion: The AI build-out is reshaping the scale of the business. Article content NextEra and Dominion executives argue the merger would create a company better equipped to build and deploy energy while lowering overall costs. Article content “This moment requires a company to buy, build, finance and operate more efficiently. It’s easier said than done,” Dominion Chief Executive Officer Bob Blue said on a call with analysts Monday. “That’s what NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy together can bring to the table at a time when projects are only getting bigger and more capital intensive.” Article content (Updates to add Deloitte report in fifth paragraph.) **Companies:** NextEra Energy Inc., Dominion Energy Inc., Alphabet Inc., BlackRock Inc., EQT AB, Constellation Energy Corp., Stonepeak Partners LP, Bernhard Capital Partners, Global Infrastructure Partners, AES Corp., Intersect Power LLC **Countries:** United States [Read the full story on Financial Post](https://financialpost.com/pmn/business-pmn/nextera-dominion-deal-signals-new-era-of-ai-utility-mega-mergers) --- Canonical: https://newsio.io/zh-TW/n/91b8ab70-6050-4e6a-8ec5-cbc2e36eab8c/nextera-energy-inc-670-dominion-energy-inc-nextera Summarized by Newsio from Financial Post. https://newsio.io/how-it-works
