Sept 14 (Reuters) - Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy on Monday said they would establish a Virginia supplier program worth up to $1 billion annually for five years if their proposed merger is approved.

• NextEra and Dominion said the new program would direct spending toward contractors, suppliers and service providers in Virginia.
• They proposed extending monthly $10 bill credits to four years from two and increasing Dominion's low-income financial ***** istance by $100 million through 2038.
• The commitments include a $100 million workforce development fund, an annual energy summit in the state and maintaining the current employee headcount there for five years.
