Dominion Energy lands in London as $67B merger pushes ahead

Dominion Energy flew from Hummel Seaplane Base in New Jersey to London Stansted on the evening of June 6, a 1-hour-59-minute hop across the Atlantic aboard its Gulfstream G450 (N607D). The trip marks a rare transatlantic journey for the Richmond-based utility, whose fleet usually sticks to domestic hubs like Charlotte, Chicago, and Miami.

This crossing comes just weeks after Dominion Energy announced its $67 billion all-stock merger with NextEra Energy—a deal that would create the world’s largest regulated electric utility, per a May 18 SEC filing. With the transaction needing approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Virginia State Corporation Commission, and counterparts in the Carolinas, the London visit likely involves meetings with international investors who hold stakes in the combined company.

The flight follows an unusual itinerary on June 6, when the same aircraft flew from an oceanic position near New Jersey to Richmond. Dominion Energy’s home base remains KRIC, but this week its top executives are clearly working the transatlantic circuit to secure support for a deal that promises $2.25 billion in customer bill credits—if regulators let it through.
