NEWS: Power industry M&As racked up a record $205B in the first half of 2026.đź’°

  • The bulk of it came from two mammoth deals: The proposed $124B NextEra-Dominion merger, and the $48B AES sale to a BlackRock-led group of investors. 

  • A sign of the times: It’s the second record-breaking year in a row for energy deals. Why? M&A can offer companies a quicker route to existing power (and reduces the need to build more of it), according to Deloitte’s recent analysis.
