- Dominion Resources (NYSE:D +0.5%) and Questar (STR +0.1%) say the Wyoming Public Service Commission has approved their merger, clearing the way to complete their combination by the close of business Friday.
- The merger would create one of the largest U.S. integrated energy companies, serving 2.5M electric utility customers and 2.3M gas utility customers in seven states, and operate 14.4K miles of natural gas transmission, gathering and storage pipelines, one of the largest U.S. natural gas storage systems, and ~25.7K MW of electric generation.
- Separately, Ohio's Public Utilities Commission vote to authorize Dominion to continue its Pipeline Infrastructure Replacement program and recover associated costs for another five-year period through 2021.
