NextEra Energy Plans $59 Billion Annual Capex Through 2032; Acquisition of Dominion Energy to Boost Growth
NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) plans to spend $59 billion annually in capital expenditures through 2032, partly enabled by its acquisition of Dominion Energy (NYSE: D), a $60 billion market cap competitor. The combined company aims to capitalize on surging electricity demand driven by AI, data centers, and electric vehicles, with demand expected to rise 60% between 2025 and 2045. The acquisition expands NextEra's regulated utility reach beyond Florida into North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia—home to a major data center market. NextEra also operates one of the world's largest contract solar and wind power businesses. The capex is expected to support annualized earnings growth of 9% or more, up from 8% without the deal. The company maintains a 2.7% dividend yield with plans for ~6% annual dividend growth, appealing to dividend growth investors.
