Connecticut and Massachusetts co-led a coalition protest urging FERC to reject the proposed NextEra Energy-Dominion Energy merger. The coalition argued that the merger could increase market power and threaten energy affordability, reliability, and competition; the release does not report a final enforcement decision or penalty.
This release concerns energy-sector merger opposition, not a privacy enforcement action, so it does not identify privacy clauses requiring changes. In energy supply, generation, and infrastructure agreements, review change-of-control and assignment clauses, merger or regulatory approval conditions, termination rights, and service-continuity and reliability commitments; check price adjustment and pass-through provisions for exposure to market changes. Privacy-related vendor, customer, and employee terms are not addressed by this action.
