In the long negotiation between capital and community, NextEra Energy has returned to Virginia's regulators with a revised offer to acquire Dominion Energy — one weighted with bill credits, a billion-dollar supplier commitment, and the promise of 600 jobs anchored by a new office tower in Richmond. The revision is itself a kind of admission: that the original terms were not enough to earn the trust of a state whose largest utility is being asked to change hands. Whether these concrete pledges can convert skepticism into approval remains the open question at the heart of this transaction.
