AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Mega-Utility Deal: NextEra and Dominion just announced a $67B all-stock merger that would create the world’s largest regulated electric utility, serving about 10 million customer accounts across Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina—while positioning the combined company to feed the AI/data-center boom. Consumer & Politics Pushback: Consumer advocates warn the scale could be hard to regulate, and Virginia lawmakers are already signaling scrutiny over long-term affordability. NAACP Pressure Campaign: The NAACP launched “Out of Bounds,” urging Black athletes and fans to boycott flagship college football and basketball programs in eight Southern states, including South Carolina, tied to post–Supreme Court redistricting fights. Food Safety: Kroger Homestyle Cheese Garlic Croutons were recalled in 17 states, including SC, over possible salmonella risk linked to a milk-powder ingredient. Local Business Leadership: Lumos named Scott Mispagel, formerly a top Frontier fiber executive, as its new CEO as it accelerates network expansion.
