Get ready for your electricity bills to skyrocket. The global power brokers are making their next big move—straight into the American energy grid.
TPV reports: Both BlackRock and Blackstone, two of the world’s most powerful private equity firms, are now acquiring electric utility companies in the U.S. For the first time, they’re going beyond their usual financial portfolios and sinking their claws directly into the infrastructure that keeps your lights on and your refrigerator running.
BlackRock is muscling into America’s power grid with a $6 billion takeover of a Minnesota utility company. This isn’t some small side investment—this deal gives BlackRock control over the electricity supply of roughly 100,000 customers, meaning families and businesses alike will now be dependent on a Wall Street giant for their most basic daily needs.
Not to be outdone, Blackstone is pushing through an even bigger land grab in the Southwest. Their upcoming $11 billion purchase of a New Mexico utility company will hand them unprecedented influence over energy distribution in the region. When private equity takes over essential infrastructure, you can bet the public will pay the price—through skyrocketing bills and dwindling freedom of choice.

Why now? Why utilities?
Look no further than the numbers. PSEG, an electric company out of New Jersey, just reported that its first quarter of 2025 was up a staggering 47% over last year. They openly admit that 90% of this energy demand is coming from AI and data centers. The tech elite are building their digital empires—and you, the ordinary consumer, are going to foot the bill.
This is classic World Economic Forum strategy in action. First, they promote “green energy” as the future, pushing governments and taxpayers to shoulder the burden of unreliable wind and solar. Then, once that system begins to strain and collapse under real-world demand, the same global financiers swoop in to buy the real energy sector—at a discount.
Sound familiar? It should.
Remember when BlackRock and other private equity firms quietly bought up 75% of America’s veterinary clinics? Since then, vet care prices have skyrocketed. Coincidence? Or a test run for monopolizing essential services?
Now imagine that same model applied to your electricity. Only this time, it’s not optional—you can skip a vet visit, but you can’t skip your power bill.
And don’t forget what the WEF has floated before: from talk of euthanizing pets “for the climate” to restricting individual energy use “for sustainability.” Once they control the power grid, what’s stopping them from rationing electricity, tracking personal consumption, or outright cutting off access if you don’t comply with their rules?
The agenda is clear: control food, water, and energy. They already dominate agriculture through seed patents and land grabs. They’re expanding into water rights. And now, utilities are the next frontier.
The takeover isn’t coming—it’s already here.
