Dominion and Enbridge Complete $6.6 Billion Utility Transaction

Enbridge Inc. has completed a $6.6 billion purchase of The East Ohio Gas Co., an Ohio natural gas company, from Dominion Energy. This acquisition is part of a larger $14 billion merger and acquisition deal previously announced by the two companies. The East Ohio Gas Co. will operate under the new name Enbridge Gas Ohio (EOG) and become part of Enbridge's Gas Distribution and Storage Business Unit, including taking on some debt as mentioned by Dominion.

EOG is set to provide over 40% of the yearly EBITDA expected from the three gas utilities Enbridge is buying from Dominion. The purchases of Questar Gas Co., Wexpro companies, and the Public Service Company of North Carolina from Dominion are still in progress, with Enbridge planning to finalize these in 2024 after getting the necessary regulatory approvals.

EOG serves over 1.2 million customers in Ohio alone, boasting a significant infrastructure network that includes over 22,000 miles of pipelines for transmission, gathering, and distribution, as well as underground storage and connections to several major interstate pipelines and natural gas producers.

Adding a big gas company from Ohio to Enbridge's business is a smart move. Michele Harradence, who leads Enbridge's gas distribution and storage, says this helps the company grow and keep making steady money. Gas companies are important because they provide safe and affordable energy that people need for a long time.

This new addition will help Enbridge make more money steadily until the end of the decade. It's a good investment that matches their plan to pay regular dividends to their shareholders. Also, with this purchase, Enbridge now works in all its business areas in Ohio, which means more chances to do well and make money.

Dominion Energy, with its headquarters in Richmond, Virginia, serves about 6 million customers across 15 states with electricity and natural gas. The company has set a commitment to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050.

CrownRock's 94,000+ net acres acquisition complements Occidental's Midland Basin operations, valued at $12.0 billion. This expansion enhances Occidental's Midland Basin-scale and upgrades its Permian Basin portfolio with ready-to-develop, low-cost assets. The deal is set to add around 170 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2024, with high-margin, sustainable production.

The rapid growth of natural gas production in the Permian Basin is pushing existing infrastructure to its limits, and additional pipeline projects are on the horizon to meet rising demand, according to East Daley Analytics. Despite ongoing price volatility—marked by repeated declines—demand for expanded energy markets continues to surge.

Dominion Energy has struck a major deal by selling half of its stake in the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project to Stonepeak, one of the world’s leading infrastructure investors, for $2.6 billion. While Dominion will retain full control over the project’s development and day-to-day operations, this partnership gives Stonepeak a non-controlling 50% interest.

Landfills are essential to America’s waste management system, yet they face several operational, environmental, and regulatory challenges. With over 2600 active municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills across the country, they occupy an average of more than 600 acres, which is roughly equivalent to 500 football fields. Methane emissions from landfills contribute significantly to global warming, accounting for 15.1% of U.S. methane emissions. As the waste sector is a major contributor to methane emissions, there is a growing emphasis on improved monitoring, reduction technologies, and the integration of renewable natural gas (RNG) solutions to mitigate the impacts of these emissions.
