8月6日(路透社)——弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格周四表示,她将干预NextEra能源公司以668亿美元收购道明尼能源公司的监管审查程序,以推动该交易在电费负担能力、就业保护和清洁能源投资方面做出承诺。

斯潘伯格表示,她将正式成为弗吉尼亚州公司委员会面前这起案件的当事方,从而有权查阅相关文件,并就这笔交易提出质疑和担忧。

“目前这些承诺仍不够充分,这也是我选择介入此案的原因之一。我需要获取更多详细信息。”

两家公司于今年5月宣布合并计划,旨在打造全球最大的电力公用事业公司之一,以应对能源密集型数据中心扩张的需求。

“正式介入此案的举动是前所未有的,作为州长,我也承认这一点,”斯潘伯格补充道,“此次合并申请的规模和范围同样史无前例。”

这笔仍在等待审批的交易将组建美国第三大能源公司,仅次于石油巨头埃克森美孚(XOM.N)和雪佛龙(CVX.N),其企业价值将超过美国另外两家最大电力公司的总和。

斯潘伯格表示,她并不打算剥夺监管机构的决策权,她指出“批准或否决交易的决定权仍在州公司委员会手中”。

这位州长还表示,作为诉讼程序的当事方,她有权“在最终裁决作出后采取法律行动”。

Aug 6 (Reuters) – Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger said on Thursday she would intervene in the regulatory review of ​NextEra Energy’s proposed $66.8 billion merger with Dominion Energy (D.N) to press ‌for commitments on electric bill affordability, job protections and clean-energy investments.

The governor said she would formally become a party to the case before ​the Virginia State Corporation Commission, giving her access to ​filings and the ability to raise questions and concerns ⁠about the transaction.

“They’re not sufficient yet, which is one of ​the reasons why I’ve chosen to intervene in the case. ​Because I need a lot more details.”

The companies announced the plan to merge in May with the aim to form one of the world’s largest ​electric utilities during an expansion of energy-intensive data centers.

“The action ​of actually formally intervening, it is an unprecedented one. As a governor, ‌I ⁠do acknowledge that,” Spanberger said, adding that “the size and scope of this merger application is also unprecedented.”

The deal, which is pending approvals, will create the third-biggest U.S. energy company, behind oil ​majors Exxon (XOM.N) and Chevron (CVX.N), ​and an ⁠entity with an enterprise value topping the next two largest U.S. power companies combined.

Spanberger said ​she was not seeking to take the decision ​out of ⁠regulators’ hands, noting that “the decision to approve or deny…that authority still lies with the SCC”.

The governor also said that as a ⁠party ​to the proceeding, she has the “ability ​to take legal action once there’s a decision made”.
