AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Mega-Deal in the Carolinas: NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy just announced an all-stock merger worth about $67B, creating the world’s largest regulated electric utility and serving roughly 10 million customers across Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina—a move aimed at meeting surging power demand tied to AI data centers. Local Pushback on Data Centers: In Knox County, commissioners are lining up against data-center growth, with a proposal that would require special permission for facilities above 10 megawatts—a fight that echoes concerns about higher electricity bills and limited job creation. Healthcare Breakthrough: A patient-specific CRISPR gene-editing study won top honors at a major clinical research awards event. Local Food Access: Boone’s High Country Food Hub is expanding with a new Wilkes County pickup site. Tech in the Air: Papa John’s is testing drone delivery in the Charlotte area, starting with sandwiches.
