AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Utility Merger: Five Virginia Democrats in Congress urged state regulators to reject Dominion Energy’s proposed $67 billion merger with NextEra, warning that the deal could put more upward pressure on bills as data centers drive demand for costly grid upgrades. 2027 Priorities: After Democrats’ election gains, affordability, data centers and surveillance cameras are emerging as issues for Virginia lawmakers; Democrats have also left open another redistricting push. In Hanover, environmental groups are calling for a statewide data center moratorium. State Honors: Gov. Abigail Spanberger ordered flags lowered Saturday for former Norfolk-area Congressman George William Whitehurst, who served nine terms and died at 101.
