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.

About
Consolidated Edison, Inc. is a New York City, New York-based regulated electric, gas, and steam utility holding company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: ED) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — delivering electricity to approximately 3.6 million customers, natural gas to approximately 1.1 million customers, and steam to commercial and residential customers in Manhattan through two regulated utility subsidiaries: Consolidated Edison Company of New York (CECONY, serving New York City and Westchester County) and Orange and Rockland Utilities (serving counties in southern New York and northern New Jersey), through approximately 15,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Consolidated Edison reported adjusted earnings of $1,868 million ($5.40 per share), up from $1,762 million ($5.07 per share) in 2023 (+6%), demonstrating steady rate-base-driven earnings growth. GAAP net income was $1,820 million ($5.26/share) in 2024 versus $2,519 million ($7.25/share) in 2023, with the prior year's higher GAAP income reflecting the substantial gain from the $6.8 billion sale of Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses (its non-regulated renewable energy subsidiary) to RWE in 2023 — proceeds that Con Edison is deploying to reduce debt and fund its regulated infrastructure investment program. CEO Timothy Cawley leads the company's strategy of investing in Manhattan's grid infrastructure for reliability and electrification — particularly EV charging infrastructure, building electrification (replacing gas appliances with electric), and transmission upgrades for offshore wind power integration into the New York City grid.
