About
Dominion Energy, Inc. is a Richmond, Virginia-based regulated electric and natural gas utility holding company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: D) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — serving approximately 4.4 million electric customers in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina through Dominion Energy Virginia (Virginia Electric and Power Company) and Dominion Energy South Carolina, and approximately 500,000 gas customers through Dominion Energy South Carolina Gas through approximately 16,500 employees. Dominion unveiled an ambitious $50.1 billion five-year capital investment plan for 2025-2029 — representing a $17 billion increase from prior plans specifically to support data center infrastructure in Virginia, where contracted data center capacity grew from 33 gigawatts to 47 gigawatts by October 2025 as hyperscale AI data center buildout in Northern Virginia (Ashburn/Loudoun County corridor — the world's largest data center market) accelerated beyond all prior demand projections. CEO Robert Blue's strategy reflects the unprecedented scale of AI-driven electricity demand growth in Dominion's Virginia service territory — where Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Meta have concentrated their largest data center campuses due to favorable regulatory environment, fiber infrastructure, and utility reliability. The $50.1 billion capital plan funds new generation capacity (solar, natural gas peakers, and potential nuclear uprates), transmission expansion to serve new data center substations, and distribution system upgrades across the Virginia service territory.
St. Louis MO regulated utility (NYSE: AEE) ~$8.2B revenue; 2.4M electric + 900K gas customers in MO/IL, 250MW solar project near Callaway Nuclear (2028), formula rate in Illinois competing with Evergy.
About
Ameren Corporation is a St. Louis, Missouri-based regulated electric and natural gas utility holding company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AEE) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — serving approximately 2.4 million electric customers and 900,000 natural gas customers in Missouri and Illinois through two primary regulated subsidiaries: AmerenMissouri (electric and gas in Missouri, including the Callaway Nuclear Power Station — Missouri's only commercial nuclear plant) and AmerenIllinois (electric and gas distribution across central and southern Illinois), through approximately 9,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Ameren reported revenue of approximately $8.2 billion, with continued capital investment in transmission upgrades, distribution modernization, and renewable energy additions. Ameren Missouri's clean energy transition includes the announced Reform Renewable Energy Center — a 250-megawatt solar facility near the Callaway Nuclear site, with construction beginning in 2026 and expected to power 44,000 homes by 2028, creating 300 construction jobs. CEO Martin Lyons, who succeeded Warner Baxter in 2022, has maintained Ameren's steady capital investment trajectory targeting 6-8% annual EPS growth through infrastructure modernization and renewable energy additions in both states. The company's transmission infrastructure — spanning MISO (Midcontinent Independent System Operator) in Missouri and PJM Interconnection in Illinois — positions Ameren to benefit from grid investment programs enabling renewable energy integration across the Midwest.
