Dominion Energy flies to London the week of a landmark utility merger announcement

Dominion Energy flew from a seaplane base in New Jersey to London Stansted Airport on June 6, 2026, a one-hour-and-47-minute hop across the Atlantic in a Gulfstream G450. The timing aligns with a period of intense corporate and regulatory activity for the Richmond-based utility.

The trip comes just weeks after Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy announced a definitive all-stock merger agreement on May 18, per an SEC filing, creating the world's largest regulated electric utility. The combined company, which would serve roughly 10 million customers across Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, is now pursuing approvals from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and state utility commissions, with a 12-to-18-month closing timeline. A formal application to Virginia's State Corporation Commission has not yet been filed, while lawmakers in Northern Virginia have voiced skepticism about the merger's impact on energy affordability.

The Stansted arrival follows a pattern of transatlantic travel for Dominion Energy, whose home base is Richmond International Airport. The company's G450 has a history of shuttling executives between Richmond, Washington D.C., and key regulatory and investor hubs, making this London visit a likely stop for discussions with international stakeholders or financing partners ahead of the merger's closing.
