🚨 UTILITY ALERT: Is a multi-billion dollar mega-monopoly trying to buy out Virginia’s energy grid while hiding a paper trail of alleged election interference, dark money, and political bribery?
In a major win for working Virginia families, Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) decided to force Florida-based NextEra Energy to unseal the “Robo Memo”—a secretive 155-page legal document packed with bank records, invoices, and emails.
NextEra is attempting a $67B buyout of Dominion Energy to become the largest monopoly utility in the world. Advocacy groups like Clean Virginia and Stop NextEra Coalition are demanding full transparency before any deal moves forward.
Here is what’s allegedly inside the Robo Memo 👇
📄 What is the “Robo Memo”?
Named after former CEO James Robo, the internal file details how NextEra’s subsidiary allegedly funneled tens of millions of dollars into dark-money 501(c)(4) front groups to target political opponents, journalists, and public utility advocates.
🔍 What Does the Memo Contain?
Key findings from legal filings and reports:
“Ghost Candidates”: Funding third-party spoiler candidates to siphon votes away from state lawmakers opposing NextEra.
Attempted Bribery: Offering a $180k/yr job at a funded nonprofit to an opposing city council member on the condition that he resign.
Co-opting Media: Funneling nearly $90k to pay-to-play news sites to run hit pieces on critics and journalists.
⚠️ Why It Matters for Virginians
NextEra claims these are “Florida issues,” but executive integrity directly impacts Virginians and our electric rates. The SCC must protect ratepayers and transparency.
