TABLE OF CONTENTS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, strategies, future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as may result, are expected to, will continue, is anticipated, believe, will, could, should, would, estimated, may, plan, potential, future, projection, goals, target, outlook, predict and intend or words of similar meaning) are not statements of historical facts and may be forward looking. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors (in addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements) that could have a significant impact on NEE's and/or FPL's operations and financial results, and could cause NEE's and/or FPL's actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of NEE and/or FPL in this combined Form 10-Q, in presentations, on their respective websites, in response to questions or otherwise.

Regulatory, Legislative and Legal Risks

•NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected by the extensive regulation of their business.

•NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected if they are unable to recover in a timely manner any significant amount of costs, a return on certain assets or a reasonable return on invested capital through base rates, cost recovery clauses, other regulatory mechanisms or otherwise.

•Regulatory decisions that are important to NEE and FPL may be materially adversely affected by political, regulatory, operational and economic factors.

•FPL's use of derivative instruments could be subject to prudence challenges and, if found imprudent, could result in disallowances of cost recovery for such use by the FPSC.

•Any reductions or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support utility scale renewable energy, including, but not limited to, tax laws, policies and incentives, renewable portfolio standards orand feed-in tariffs, or the imposition of additional taxes, tariffs, duties or other assessments on renewable energy or the equipment necessary to generate or deliver it, could result in, among other items, the lack of a satisfactory market for the development and/or financing of new renewable energy projects, NEER abandoning the development of renewable energy projects, a loss of NEER's investments in renewable energy projects and reduced project returns, any of which could have a material adverse effect on NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

•NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected as a result of new or revised laws or regulations or interpretations ~~or ballot or regulatory initiatives.~~of these laws and regulations.

•NEE and FPL are subject to numerous environmental laws, regulations and other standards that may result in capital expenditures, increased operating costs and various liabilities, and may require NEE and FPL to limit or eliminate certain operations.

•NEE's and FPL's business could be negatively affected by federal or state laws or regulations mandating new or additional limits on the production of greenhouse gas emissions.

•Extensive federal regulation of the operations and businesses of NEE and FPL exposes NEE and FPL to significant and increasing compliance costs and may also expose them to substantial monetary penalties and other sanctions for compliance failures.

•Changes in tax laws, guidance or policies, including but not limited to changes in corporate income tax rates, as well as judgments and estimates used in the determination of tax-related asset and liability amounts, could materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

•NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected due to adverse results of litigation.

Development and Operational Risks

•NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could suffer if NEE and FPL do not proceed with projects under development or are unable to complete the construction of, or capital improvements to, electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities, gas infrastructure facilities or other facilities on schedule or within budget.

•NEE and FPL face risks related to project siting, financing, construction, permitting, governmental approvals and the negotiation of project development agreements that may impede their development and operating activities.

•The operation and maintenance of NEE's and FPL's electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities, gas infrastructure facilities, retail gas distribution system in Florida and other facilities are subject to many operational risks, the consequences of which could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

•NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be negatively affected by a lack of growth or slower growth in the number of customers or in customer usage.

•NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects can be materially adversely affected by weather conditions, including, but not limited to, the impact of severe weather.

•Threats of terrorism and catastrophic events that could result from terrorism, cyberattacks, or individuals and/or groups attempting to disrupt NEE's and FPL's business, or the businesses of third parties, may materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

•The ability of NEE and FPL to obtain insurance and the terms of any available insurance coverage could be materially adversely affected by international, national, state or local events and company-specific events, as well as the financial condition of insurers. NEE's and FPL's insurance coverage does not provide protection against all significant losses.

•NEE invests in gas and oil producing and transmission assets through NEER’s gas infrastructure business. The gas infrastructure business is exposed to fluctuating market prices of natural gas, natural gas liquids, oil and other energy commodities. A prolonged period of low gas and oil prices could impact NEER’s gas infrastructure business and cause NEER to delay or cancel certain gas infrastructure projects and could result in certain projects becoming impaired, which could materially adversely affect NEE's results of operations.

•If supply costs necessary to provide NEER's full energy and capacity requirement services are not favorable, operating costs could increase and materially adversely affect NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

•Due to the potential for significant volatility in market prices for fuel, electricity and renewable and other energy commodities, NEER's inability or failure to manage properly or hedge effectively the commodity risks within its portfolios could materially adversely affect NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

•Reductions in the liquidity of energy markets may restrict the ability of NEE to manage its operational risks, which, in turn, could negatively affect NEE's results of operations.

•NEE's and FPL's hedging and trading procedures and associated risk management tools may not protect against significant losses.

•If price movements significantly or persistently deviate from historical behavior, NEE's and FPL's risk management tools associated with their hedging and trading procedures may not protect against significant losses.

•If power transmission or natural gas, nuclear fuel or other commodity transportation facilities are unavailable or disrupted, the ability for subsidiaries of NEE, including FPL, to sell and deliver power or natural gas may be limited.

•NEE and FPL are subject to credit and performance risk from customers, hedging counterparties and vendors.

•NEE and FPL could recognize financial losses or a reduction in operating cash flows if a counterparty fails to perform or make payments in accordance with the terms of derivative contracts or if NEE or FPL is required to post margin cash collateral under derivative contracts.

•NEE and FPL are highly dependent on sensitive and complex information technology systems, and any failure or breach of those systems could have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

•NEE's and FPL's retail businesses are subject to the risk that sensitive customer data may be compromised, which could result in a material adverse impact to their reputation and/or have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of NEE and FPL.

•NEE and FPL could recognize financial losses as a result of volatility in the market values of derivative instruments and limited liquidity in OTC markets.

•NEE and FPL may be materially adversely affected by negative publicity.

•NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected if FPL is unable to maintain, negotiate or renegotiate franchise agreements on acceptable terms with municipalities and counties in Florida.

•NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected by work strikes or stoppages and increasing personnel costs.

•NEE's ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions is subject to significant risks, including, but not limited to, the effect of increased competition for acquisitions resulting from the consolidation of the energy industry.

Nuclear Generation Risks

•The operation and maintenance of NEE's and FPL's nuclear generation facilities involve environmental, health and financial risks that could result in fines or the closure of the facilities and in increased costs and capital expenditures.

•In the event of an incident at any nuclear generation facility in the U.S. or at certain nuclear generation facilities in Europe, NEE and FPL could be assessed significant retrospective assessments and/or retrospective insurance premiums as a result of their participation in a secondary financial protection system and nuclear insurance mutual

companies.

•NRC orders or new regulations related to increased security measures and any future safety requirements promulgated by the NRC could require NEE and FPL to incur substantial operating and capital expenditures at their nuclear generation facilities and/or result in reduced revenues.

•The inability to operate any of NEE's or FPL's nuclear generation units through the end of their respective operating licenses could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

•NEE's and FPL's nuclear units are periodically removed from service to accommodate planned refueling and maintenance outages, and for other purposes. If planned outages last longer than anticipated or if there are unplanned outages, NEE's and FPL's results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Liquidity, Capital Requirements and Common Stock Risks

•Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit and capital markets, among other factors, may negatively affect NEE's and FPL's ability to fund their liquidity and capital needs and to meet their growth objectives, and can also materially adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition of NEE and FPL.

•NEE's, NEECH's and FPL's inability to maintain their current credit ratings may materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's liquidity and results of operations, limit the ability of NEE and FPL to grow their business, and increase interest costs.

•NEE's and FPL's liquidity may be impaired if their credit providers are unable to fund their credit commitments to the companies or to maintain their current credit ratings.

•Poor market performance and other economic factors could affect NEE's defined benefit pension plan's funded status, which may materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and prospects.

•Poor market performance and other economic factors could adversely affect the asset values of NEE's and FPL's nuclear decommissioning funds, which may materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

•Certain of NEE's investments are subject to changes in market value and other risks, which may materially adversely affect NEE's liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

•NEE may be unable to meet its ongoing and future financial obligations and to pay dividends on its common stock if its subsidiaries are unable to pay upstream dividends or repay funds to NEE.

•NEE may be unable to meet its ongoing and future financial obligations and to pay dividends on its common stock if NEE is required to perform under guarantees of obligations of its subsidiaries.

•NEP may not be able to access sources of capital on commercially reasonable terms, which would have a material adverse effect on its ability to consummate future acquisitions and on the value of NEE’s limited partner interest in NEP OpCo.

•Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit and capital markets may exert downward pressure on the market price of NEE's common stock.

•Widespread public health crises and epidemics or pandemics ~~including the novel coronavirus (COVID-19),~~ may have material adverse impacts on NEE’s and FPL's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

These factors should be read together with the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in NEE's and FPL's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020 (2020~~2021 (2021 Form 10-K)and Part II, Item 1A.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. In the opinion of NEE and FPL management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair financial statement presentation have been made. All adjustments are normal and recurring unless otherwise noted. Certain amounts included in the prior year's condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. ~~FPL amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the merger of FPL and Gulf Power Company, see Note 5 – Merger of FPL and Gulf Power Company.~~ The results of operations for an interim period generally will not give a true indication of results for the year. Prior year's share and share-based data have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the four-for-one split of NEE common stock effective October 26, 2020 (2020 stock split). See Note 10 – Earnings Per Share.

1. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

FPL and NEER generate substantially all of NEE’s operating revenues, which primarily include revenues from contracts with customers, as well as derivative (see Note 2) and lease transactions at NEER. For the vast majority of contracts with customers, NEE believes that the obligation to deliver energy, capacity or transmission is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits as NEE performs. NEE’s revenue from contracts with customers was approximately ~~$5.4~~$5.0 billion ($~~4.1~~3.7 billion at FPL) and ~~$4.9~~$4.0 billion ($~~3.8~~3.0 billion at FPL) for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and $14.1 billion ($10.6 billion at FPL) and $12.9 billion ($9.8 billion at FPL) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,~~ respectively. NEE's and FPL's receivables are primarily associated with revenues earned from contracts with customers, as well as derivative and lease transactions at NEER, and consist of both billed and unbilled amounts, which are recorded in customer receivables and other receivables on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Receivables represent unconditional rights to consideration and reflect the differences in timing of revenue recognition and cash collections. For substantially all of NEE's and FPL's receivables, regardless of the type of revenue transaction from which the receivable originated, customer and counterparty credit risk is managed in the same manner and the terms and conditions of payment are similar. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021, NEER did not recognize approximately $180 million of revenue related to reimbursable expenses from a counterparty that ~~are~~were deemed not probable of collection. These reimbursable expenses arose from the ~~impact~~impacts of severe prolonged winter weather in Texas in February 2021 (February 2021 weather event). These determinations were made based on assessments of the counterparty's creditworthiness and NEER's ability to collect.

FPL – FPL’s revenues are derived primarily from tariff-based sales that result from providing electricity to retail customers in Florida with no defined contractual term. Electricity sales to retail customers account for approximately 90% of FPL’s operating revenues, the majority of which are to residential customers. ~~Retail~~FPL's retail customers receive a bill monthly based on the amount of monthly kWh usage with payment due monthly. For these types of sales, FPL recognizes revenue as electricity is delivered and billed to customers, as well as an estimate for electricity delivered and not yet billed. The billed and unbilled amounts represent the value of electricity delivered to the customer. At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, FPL's unbilled revenues amounted to approximately ~~$545~~$573 million and ~~$454~~$583 million, respectively, and are included in customer receivables on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain contracts with customers contain a fixed price which primarily relate to certain power purchase agreements with maturity dates through 2041. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, FPL expects to record approximately ~~$405~~$385 million of revenues related to the fixed capacity price components of such contracts over the remaining terms of the related contracts as the capacity is provided. These contracts also contain a variable price component for energy usage which FPL recognizes as revenue as the energy is delivered based on rates stipulated in the respective contracts.

NEER – NEER’s revenue from contracts with customers is derived primarily from the sale of energy commodities, electric capacity and electric transmission. For these types of sales, NEER recognizes revenue as energy commodities are delivered and as electric capacity and electric transmission are made available, consistent with the amounts billed to customers based on rates stipulated in the respective contracts as well as an accrual for amounts earned but not yet billed. The amounts billed and accrued represent the value of energy or transmission delivered and/or the capacity of energy or transmission available to the customer. Revenues yet to be earned under these contracts, which have maturity dates ranging from ~~2021~~2022 to 2053, will vary based on the volume of energy or transmission delivered and/or available. NEER’s customers typically receive bills monthly with payment due within 30 days. Certain contracts with customers contain a fixed price which primarily relate to electric capacity sales associated with ISO annual auctions through ~~2025 and~~2026, certain power purchase agreements with maturity dates through ~~2034.~~2034 and capacity sales associated with natural gas transportation through 2062. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, NEER expects to record approximately ~~$750 million~~$1.3 billion of revenues related to the fixed price components of such contracts over the remaining terms of the related contracts as the capacity is provided.

2. Derivative Instruments

NEE and FPL use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options, futures and forwards) to manage the physical and financial risks inherent in the purchase and sale of fuel and electricity, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated primarily with outstanding and expected future debt issuances and borrowings, and to optimize the value of NEER's power generation and gas infrastructure assets. NEE and FPL do not utilize hedge accounting for their cash flow and fair value hedges.

With respect to commodities related to NEE's competitive energy business, NEER employs risk management procedures to conduct its activities related to optimizing the value of its power generation and gas infrastructure assets, providing full energy and capacity requirements services primarily to distribution utilities, and engaging in power and fuel marketing and trading activities to take advantage of expected future favorable price movements and changes in the expected volatility of prices in the energy markets. These risk management activities involve the use of derivative instruments executed within prescribed limits to manage the risk associated with fluctuating commodity prices. Transactions in derivative instruments are executed on recognized exchanges or via the OTC markets, depending on the most favorable credit terms and market execution factors. For NEER's power generation and gas infrastructure assets, derivative instruments are used to hedge all or a portion of the expected output of these assets. These hedges are designed to reduce the effect of adverse changes in the wholesale forward commodity markets associated with NEER's power generation and gas infrastructure assets. With regard to full energy and capacity requirements services, NEER is required to vary the quantity of energy and related services based on the load demands of the customers served. For this type of transaction, derivative instruments are used to hedge the anticipated electricity quantities required to serve these customers and reduce the effect of unfavorable changes in the forward energy markets. Additionally, NEER takes positions in energy markets based on differences between actual forward market levels and management's view of fundamental market conditions, including supply/demand imbalances, changes in traditional flows of energy, changes in short- and long-term weather patterns and anticipated regulatory and legislative outcomes. NEER uses derivative instruments to realize value from these market dislocations, subject to strict risk management limits around market, operational and credit exposure.

Derivative instruments, when required to be marked to market, are recorded on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. At FPL, substantially all changes in the derivatives' fair value are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability until the contracts are settled, and, upon settlement, any gains or losses are passed through the ~~applicable~~ fuel clause. For NEE's non-rate regulated operations, predominantly NEER, essentially all changes in the derivatives' fair value for power purchases and sales, fuel sales and trading activities are recognized on a net basis in operating revenues and the equity method investees' related activity is recognized in equity in earnings of equity method investees in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of ~~income.~~income (loss). Settlement gains and losses are included within the line items in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) to which they relate. Transactions for which physical delivery is deemed not to have occurred are presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated statements of ~~income.~~income (loss). For commodity derivatives, NEE believes that, where offsetting positions exist at the same location for the same time, the transactions are considered to have been netted and therefore physical delivery has been deemed not to have occurred for financial reporting purposes. Settlements related to derivative instruments are ~~primarily~~ recognized in net cash provided by operating activities in NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

For interest rate and foreign currency derivative instruments, all changes in the derivatives' fair value, as well as the transaction gain or loss on foreign denominated debt, are recognized in interest expense and the equity method investees' related activity is recognized in equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, NEE reclassified from AOCI approximately $23 million ($3 million after tax) to gains on disposal of businesses/assets – net (see Note 11 – Disposal of Businesses/Assets and Sale of Noncontrolling Ownership Interests) because it became probable that related future transactions being hedged would not occur.income (loss). At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, NEE's AOCI included amounts related to discontinued interest rate cash flow hedges with expiration dates through March 2035 and foreign currency cash flow hedges with expiration dates through September 2030. Approximately $6$3 million of net losses included in AOCI at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months as the principal and/or interest payments are made. Such amounts assume no change in scheduled principal payments.

Fair Value Measurements of Derivative Instruments – The fair value of assets and liabilities are determined using either unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) or pricing inputs that are observable (Level 2) whenever that information is available and using unobservable inputs (Level 3) to estimate fair value only when relevant observable inputs are not available. NEE and FPL use several different valuation techniques to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities, relying primarily on the market approach of using prices and other market information for identical and/or comparable assets and liabilities for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. NEE's and FPL's assessment of the significance of any particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Non-performance risk, including the consideration of a credit valuation adjustment, is also considered in the determination of fair value for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

NEE and FPL measure the fair value of commodity contracts using a combination of market and income approaches utilizing prices observed on commodities exchanges and in the OTC markets, or through the use of industry-standard valuation techniques, such as option modeling or discounted cash flows techniques, incorporating both observable and unobservable valuation inputs. The resulting measurements are the best estimate of fair value as represented by the transfer of the asset or liability through an orderly transaction in the marketplace at the measurement date.

Most exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities are valued directly using unadjusted quoted prices. For exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities where the principal market is deemed to be inactive based on average daily volumes and open interest, the measurement is established using settlement prices from the exchanges, and therefore considered to be valued using other observable inputs.

NEE, through its subsidiaries, including FPL, also enters into OTC commodity contract derivatives. The majority of these contracts are transacted at liquid trading points, and the prices for these contracts are verified using quoted prices in active markets from exchanges, brokers or pricing services for similar contracts.

NEE, through NEER, also enters into full requirements contracts, which, in most cases, meet the definition of derivatives and are measured at fair value. These contracts typically have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation of the contract. In addition, certain exchange and non-exchange traded derivative options at NEE have one or more significant inputs that are not observable, and are valued using industry-standard option models.

In all cases where NEE and FPL use significant unobservable inputs for the valuation of a commodity contract, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The primary input to the valuation models for commodity contracts is the forward commodity curve for the respective instruments. Other inputs include, but are not limited to, assumptions about market liquidity, volatility, correlation and contract duration as more fully described below in Significant Unobservable Inputs Used in Recurring Fair Value Measurements. In instances where the reference markets are deemed to be inactive or do not have transactions for a similar contract, the derivative assets and liabilities may be valued using significant other observable inputs and potentially significant unobservable inputs. In such instances, the valuation for these contracts is established using techniques including extrapolation from or interpolation between actively traded contracts, or estimated basis adjustments from liquid trading points. NEE and FPL regularly evaluate and validate the inputs used to determine fair value by a number of methods, consisting of various market price verification procedures, including the use of pricing services and multiple broker quotes to support the market price of the various commodities. In all cases where there are assumptions and models used to generate inputs for valuing derivative assets and liabilities, the review and verification of the assumptions, models and changes to the models are undertaken by individuals that are independent of those responsible for estimating fair value.

NEE uses interest rate contracts and foreign currency contracts to mitigate and adjust interest rate and foreign currency exchange exposure related primarily to certain outstanding and expected future debt issuances and borrowings when deemed appropriate based on market conditions or when required by financing agreements. NEE estimates the fair value of these derivatives using an income approach based on a discounted cash flows valuation technique utilizing the net amount of estimated future cash inflows and outflows related to the agreements.

Significant Unobservable Inputs Used in Recurring Fair Value Measurements – The valuation of certain commodity contracts requires the use of significant unobservable inputs. All forward price, implied volatility, implied correlation and interest rate inputs used in the valuation of such contracts are directly based on third-party market data, such as broker quotes and exchange settlements, when that data is available. If third-party market data is not available, then industry standard methodologies are used to develop inputs that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs, including some forward prices, implied volatilities and interest rates used for determining fair value are updated daily to reflect the best available market information. Unobservable inputs which are related to observable inputs, such as illiquid portions of forward price or volatility curves, are updated daily as well, using industry standard techniques such as interpolation and extrapolation, combining observable forward inputs supplemented by historical market and other relevant data. Other unobservable inputs, such as implied correlations, block-to-hourly price shaping, customer migration rates from full requirements contracts and some implied volatility curves, are modeled using proprietary models based on historical data and industry standard techniques.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, FPL recorded losses of approximately $1$12 million and $3$7 million, respectively, related to commodity contracts as regulatory assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

~~(b)~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, approximately $23 million was reclassified to gains on disposal of businesses/assets – net (see Note 11 – Disposal of Businesses/Assets and Sale of Noncontrolling Ownership Interests); remaining balances were reclassified to interest expense on NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income.

Notional Volumes of Derivative Instruments – The following table represents net notional volumes associated with derivative instruments that are required to be reported at fair value in NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated financial statements. The table includes significant volumes of transactions that have minimal exposure to commodity price changes because they are variably priced agreements. These volumes are only an indication of the commodity exposure that is managed through the use of derivatives. They do not represent net physical asset positions or non-derivative positions and the related hedges, nor do they represent NEE’s and FPL’s net economic exposure, but only the net notional derivative positions that fully or partially hedge the related asset positions. NEE and FPL had derivative commodity contracts for the following net notional volumes:

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features – Certain derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features including, among other things, the requirement to maintain an investment grade credit rating from specified credit rating agencies and certain financial ratios, as well as credit-related cross-default and material adverse change triggers. At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the aggregate fair value of NEE's derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was approximately ~~$6.2~~$7.5 billion ($1417 million for FPL) and ~~$1.9~~$4.1 billion ($312 million for FPL), respectively.

If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these derivative agreements were triggered, certain subsidiaries of NEE, including FPL, could be required to post collateral or settle contracts according to contractual terms which generally allow netting of contracts in offsetting positions. Certain derivative contracts contain multiple types of credit-related triggers. To the extent these contracts contain a credit ratings downgrade trigger, the maximum exposure is included in the following credit ratings collateral posting requirements. If FPL's and NEECH's credit ratings were downgraded to BBB/Baa2 (a three level downgrade for FPL and a one level downgrade for NEECH from the current lowest applicable rating), applicable NEE subsidiaries would be required to post collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately ~~$620~~$1,240 million (none at FPL) at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~$80~~$645 million (none at FPL) at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. If FPL's and NEECH's credit ratings were downgraded to below investment grade, applicable NEE subsidiaries would be required to post additional collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately ~~$2.8~~$3.9 billion ($3020 million at FPL) at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~$1.2~~$2.7 billion ($7535 million at FPL) at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Some derivative contracts do not contain credit ratings downgrade triggers, but do contain provisions that require certain financial measures be maintained and/or have credit-related cross-default triggers. In the event

~~NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

~~(unaudited)~~

these provisions were triggered, applicable NEE subsidiaries could be required to post additional collateral of up to approximately ~~$985 million~~$1.1 billion ($~~225~~135 million at FPL) at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~$880 million~~$1.0 billion ($75145 million at FPL) at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Collateral related to derivatives may be posted in the form of cash or credit support in the normal course of business. At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, applicable NEE subsidiaries have posted approximately ~~$83~~$99 million (none at FPL) and $2$84 million (none at FPL), respectively, in cash, and ~~$461 million~~$1.2 billion (none at FPL) and ~~$66 million~~$1.1 billion (none at FPL), respectively, in the form of letters of credit, each of which could be applied toward the collateral requirements described above. FPL and NEECH have capacity under their credit facilities generally in excess of the collateral requirements described above that would be available to support, among other things, derivative activities. Under the terms of the credit facilities, maintenance of a specific credit rating is not a condition to drawing on these credit facilities, although there are other conditions to drawing on these credit facilities.

Additionally, some contracts contain certain adequate assurance provisions whereby a counterparty may demand additional collateral based on subjective events and/or conditions. Due to the subjective nature of these provisions, NEE and FPL are unable to determine an exact value for these items and they are not included in any of the quantitative disclosures above.

3. Non-Derivative Fair Value Measurements

Non-derivative fair value measurements consist of NEE’s and FPL’s cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents, special use funds and other investments. The fair value of these financial assets is determined by using the valuation techniques and inputs as described in Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements of Derivative Instruments as well as below.

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents – NEE and FPL hold investments in money market funds. The fair value of these funds is estimated using a market approach based on current observable market prices.

Special Use Funds and Other Investments – NEE and FPL hold primarily debt and equity securities directly, as well as indirectly through commingled funds. Substantially all directly held equity securities are valued at their quoted market prices. For directly held debt securities, multiple prices and price types are obtained from pricing vendors whenever possible, which enables cross-provider validations. A primary price source is identified based on asset type, class or issue of each security. Commingled funds, which are similar to mutual funds, are maintained by banks or investment companies and hold certain investments in accordance with a stated set of objectives. The fair value of commingled funds is primarily derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Because the fund shares are offered to a limited group of investors, they are not considered to be traded in an active market.

Special Use Funds and Other Investments – The special use funds noted above and those carried at fair value (see Recurring Non-Derivative Fair Value Measurements above) consist of NEE's nuclear decommissioning fund assets of approximately ~~$8,409~~$8,417 million ($5,803 million for FPL) and ~~$7,703~~$8,846 million ($6,082 million for FPL) at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, ~~($5,784 million and $5,271 million, respectively, for FPL),~~ and FPL's storm fund assets of ~~$76~~$75 million and $76 million at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The investments held in the special use funds and other investments consist of equity and available for sale debt securities which are primarily carried at estimated fair value. The amortized cost of debt securities is approximately ~~$2,259~~$2,695 million ($1,840 million for FPL) and ~~$2,009~~$2,438 million ($1,877 million for FPL) at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020, respectively ($1,727 million and $1,521 million, respectively, for FPL).~~2021, respectively. Debt securities included in the nuclear decommissioning funds have a weighted-average maturity at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 of approximately eight years at both NEE and FPL. FPL's storm fund primarily consists of debt securities with a weighted-average maturity at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 of approximately ~~one year.~~two years. Other investments consist of debt securities with a weighted-average maturity at March 31, 2022 of approximately four years. The cost of securities sold is determined using the specific identification method.

Effective January 1, 2020, NEE and FPL adopted an accounting standards update that provides a modified version of the other than temporary impairment model for debt securities. The new available for sale debt security impairment model no longer allows consideration of the length of time during which the fair value has been less than its amortized cost basis when determining whether a credit loss exists. Credit losses are required to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on securities not intended to be sold or required to be sold. NEE and FPL adopted this model prospectively. See Note 11 – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.

For FPL's special use funds, changes in fair value of debt and equity securities, including any estimated credit losses of debt securities, result in a corresponding adjustment to the related regulatory asset or liability accounts, consistent with regulatory treatment. For NEE's non-rate regulated operations, changes in fair value of debt securities result in a corresponding adjustment to OCI, except for estimated credit losses and unrealized losses on debt securities intended or required to be sold prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis, which are recognized in other – net in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of ~~income.~~income (loss).

Regulations issued by the FERC and the NRC provide general risk management guidelines to protect nuclear decommissioning funds and to allow such funds to earn a reasonable return. The FERC regulations prohibit, among other investments, investments in any securities of NEE or its subsidiaries, affiliates or associates, excluding investments tied to market indices or mutual funds. Similar restrictions applicable to the decommissioning funds for NEER's nuclear plants are included in the NRC operating licenses for those facilities or in NRC regulations applicable to NRC licensees not in cost-of-service environments. With respect to the decommissioning fund for Seabrook, decommissioning fund contributions and withdrawals are also regulated by the New Hampshire Nuclear Decommissioning Financing Committee pursuant to New Hampshire law.

The nuclear decommissioning reserve funds are managed by investment managers who must comply with the guidelines of NEE and FPL and the rules of the applicable regulatory authorities. The funds' assets are invested giving consideration to taxes, liquidity, risk, diversification and other prudent investment objectives.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements – NEE tests its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the investment may be impaired. On February 2, 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (the 4th Circuit) vacated and remanded Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC’s (Mountain Valley Pipeline) Biological Opinion issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. While NextEra Energy Resources continues to evaluate options and next steps with its joint venture partners, this event along with the 4th Circuit vacatur and remand of the U.S. Forest Service right-of-way grant on January 25, 2022 caused NextEra Energy Resources to re-evaluate its investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline for further other-than-temporary impairment, which evaluation coincided with the preparation of NEE's December 31, 2021 financial statements. As a result of this evaluation, it was determined that the continued legal and regulatory challenges have resulted in a very low probability of pipeline completion. Accordingly, NextEra Energy Resources performed a fair value analysis based on the market approach to determine the amount of the impairment. The challenges to complete construction and the resulting economic outlook for the pipeline were considered in determining the magnitude of the other-than-temporary impairment. Based on this fair value analysis, NextEra Energy Resources recorded an impairment charge of approximately $0.8 billion ($0.6 billion after tax), which is recorded in equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees in NEE’s condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This impairment charge resulted in the complete write off of NextEra Energy Resources’ equity method investment carrying amount of approximately $0.6 billion, as well as the recording of a liability of approximately $0.2 billion which reflects NextEra Energy Resources’ share of estimated future dismantlement costs.

The fair value estimate was based on a probability-weighted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiple valuation technique using a market participant view of the potential different outcomes for the investment. As part of the valuation, NextEra Energy Resources used observable inputs where available, including the EBITDA multiples of recent pipeline transactions. Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), including the probabilities assigned to the different potential outcomes, the forecasts of operating revenues and costs, and the projected capital expenditures to complete the project, were also used in the estimation of fair value. An increase in the revenue forecasts, a decrease in the projected operating or capital expenditures or an increase in the probability assigned to the full pipeline being completed would result in an increased fair market value. Changes in the opposite direction of those unobservable inputs would result in a decreased fair market value.

4. Income Taxes

NEE's effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ was approximately ~~(9.7)%~~34.1% and ~~10.3%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately 4.3% and 3.0%~~14.3%, respectively. NEE's effective income tax rate is based on the composition of ~~pre-tax~~pretax income or loss, and, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily reflects the impact of unfavorable changes in the fair value of commodity derivatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, NEE's effective income tax rate also reflects the first quarter of 2020 impact of unfavorable changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments and equity securities held in NEER's nuclear decommissioning funds, ~~and~~as well as the ~~gain on~~impairment charge related to the ~~sale of the Spain solar projects that was not taxable for federal and state income tax purposes~~investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline (see Note 113 – ~~Disposal of Businesses/Assets and Sale of Noncontrolling Ownership Interests)~~Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements). State income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflect state tax benefits associated with the financial impacts from the February 2021 weather event.

A reconciliation between the effective income tax rates and the applicable statutory rate is as follows:

NEE recognizes PTCs as wind energy is generated and sold based on a per kWh rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes, which may differ significantly from amounts computed, on a quarterly basis, using an overall effective income tax rate anticipated for the full year. NEE uses this method of recognizing PTCs for specific reasons, including that PTCs are an integral part of the expected value of most wind projects and a fundamental component of such wind projects' results of operations. PTCs, as well as ITCs, can significantly affect NEE's effective income tax rate depending on the amount of pretax ~~income.~~income or loss. The amount of PTCs recognized can be significantly affected by wind generation and by the roll off of PTCs after ten years of production.

5. Acquisitions

Merger of FPL and Gulf Power Company – On January 1, 2021, FPL and Gulf Power Company merged, with FPL as the surviving entity. However, FPL will continue to be regulated as two separate ratemaking entities until the FPSC approves consolidation of the FPL segment and Gulf Power rates and tariffs. The FPL segment and Gulf Power will continue to be separate operating segments of NEE as well as FPL through 2021. See Note 13. As a result of the merger, FPL acquired assets of approximately $6.7 billion, primarily relating to property, plant and equipment, net of approximately $4.9 billion and regulatory assets of $1.2 billion, and assumed liabilities of approximately $3.9 billion, including $1.8 billion of debt, primarily long-term debt, $729 million of deferred income taxes and $566 million of regulatory liabilities. Additionally, goodwill of approximately $2.7 billion and purchase accounting adjustments associated with the 2019 Gulf Power Company acquisition by NEE were transferred to FPL from ~~NEE~~ Corporate and ~~Other.~~Other and, for impairment testing, the goodwill is included in the FPL reporting unit. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed by FPL were at carrying amounts as the merger was between entities under common control.

GridLiance – On March 31, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of NEET acquired GridLiance, ~~Holdco, LP and GridLiance GP, LLC (GridLiance),~~ which owns and operates 3 FERC-regulated transmission utilities with approximately 700 miles of high-voltage transmission lines across 6 states, 5 in the Midwest and Nevada. The purchase price included approximately $502 million in cash consideration, and the assumption of approximately $175 million of debt, excluding post-closing adjustments.

Under the acquisition method, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair value. The approval by the FERC of GridLiance’s rates, which is intended to allow GridLiance to collect total revenues equal to GridLiance's costs for the development, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of GridLiance, including a reasonable rate of return on invested capital, is considered a fundamental input in measuring the fair value of GridLiance's assets and liabilities and, as such, NEE concluded that the carrying values of all assets and liabilities recoverable through rates are representative of their fair values. As a result, NEE acquired assets of approximately $384 million, primarily relating to property, plant and equipment, and assumed liabilities of approximately $210 million, primarily relating to long-term debt. The acquisition agreements are subject to earn-out provisions for additional payments, valued at approximately $264 million at March 31, 2021, to be made upon the completion of capital expenditures for future development projects (see Note 3 – Contingent Consideration). The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in approximately $592 million of goodwill which has been recognized on NEE's condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet at September 30, 2021,~~sheets, of which approximately $586 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill associated with the GridLiance acquisition is reflected within NEER and, for impairment testing, is included in the rate-regulated transmission reporting unit. The goodwill arising from the transaction represents expected benefits from continued expansion of NEE's regulated businesses. ~~The valuation of the acquired net assets is subject to change as additional information related to the estimates is obtained during the measurement period.~~

7. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

NEER – At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, NEE consolidates 43a number of VIEs within the NEER segment. Subsidiaries within the NEER segment are considered the primary beneficiary of these VIEs since they control the most significant activities of these VIEs, including operations and maintenance, and they have the obligation to absorb expected losses of these VIEs.

NextEra Energy Resources consolidates 2 VIEs, which own and operate natural gas electric generation facilities with the capability of producing 1,450 MW. These entities sell their electric output to third parties under power sales contracts with expiration dates in 2021 and 2031. The power sales contracts provide the offtaker the ability to dispatch the facilities and require the offtaker to absorb the cost of fuel. The assets and liabilities of these VIEs were approximately $174 million and $26 million, respectively, at September 30, 2021 and $188 million and $22 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the assets of these VIEs consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment.

NaN indirect subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources have an ownership interest ranging from approximately 50% ~~ownership interest~~to 67% in 5 entities which own and operate solar PV facilities with the capability of producing a total of approximately ~~409~~772 MW. Each of the 3 subsidiaries is considered a VIE since the non-managing members have no substantive rights over the managing members, and is consolidated by NextEra Energy Resources. These 5 entities sell their electric output to third parties under power sales

contracts with expiration dates ranging from 2035 through ~~2042. The 5~~2052. These entities have third-party debt which is secured by liens against the assets of the entities. The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NextEra Energy Resources for the repayment of debt. The assets and liabilities of these VIEs were approximately ~~$1,015~~$1,848 million and ~~$570~~$1,202 million, respectively, at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022, and ~~$751~~$1,851 million and ~~$607~~$1,258 million, respectively, at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the assets and liabilities of these VIEs consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt.

NEE consolidates a NEET VIE that ~~is constructing~~constructed an approximately 280-mile ~~electricity~~electric transmission ~~line.~~line that went into service during the first quarter of 2022. A NEET subsidiary is the primary beneficiary and controls the most significant activities ~~during~~of the ~~construction period, including controlling the construction budget.~~VIE. NEET is entitled to receive 50% of the profits and losses of the entity. The assets and liabilities of the VIE totaled approximately ~~$556~~$649 million and ~~$77~~$61 million, respectively, at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, and ~~$423~~$614 million and ~~$68~~$64 million, respectively, at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the assets and liabilities of this VIE consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and accounts payable.

NextEra Energy Resources consolidates a VIE which has a 10% direct ownership interest in wind generation facilities and solar PV facilities which have the capability of producing approximately 400 MW and 599 MW, respectively. These entities sell their electric output under power sales contracts to third parties with expiration dates ranging from 2025 through 2040. These entities are also considered a VIE because the holders of differential membership interests in these entities do not have substantive rights over the significant activities of these entities. The assets and liabilities of the VIE were approximately ~~$1,528~~$1,513 million and ~~$81~~$77 million, respectively, at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, and ~~$1,572~~$1,518 million and ~~$393~~$79 million, respectively, at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the assets and liabilities of this VIE consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and accounts payable.

~~The other 36~~ NextEra Energy Resources consolidates 33 VIEs that ~~are consolidated~~ primarily relate to certain subsidiaries which have sold differential membership interests in entities which own and operate wind generation as well as solar and solar PVplus battery storage facilities with the capability of producing a total of approximately ~~10,478~~10,626 MW and ~~763~~1,069 MW, respectively, and own wind generation as well as solar and solar PVplus battery storage facilities that, upon completion of construction, which is anticipated in the ~~fourth~~second quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, are expected to have a total ~~generating~~ capacity of 80approximately 200 MW and ~~590~~50 MW, respectively. These entities sell, or will sell, their electric output either under power sales contracts to third parties with expiration dates ranging from 2024 through 2053 or in the spot market. These entities are considered VIEs because the holders of differential membership interests do not have substantive rights over the significant activities of these entities. NextEra Energy Resources has financing obligations with respect to these entities, including third-party debt which is secured by liens against the generation facilities and the other assets of these entities or by pledges of NextEra Energy Resources' ownership interest in these entities. The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NEER for the repayment of debt. The assets and liabilities of these VIEs totaled approximately ~~$16,779~~$17,054 million and ~~$1,009~~$1,257 million, respectively, at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~$16,180~~$17,419 million and ~~$1,741~~$1,480 million, respectively, at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the assets and liabilities of these VIEs consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and accounts payable. At March 31, 2022, subsidiaries of NEE had guarantees related to certain obligations of 1 of these consolidated VIEs.

Other – At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, several NEE subsidiaries had investments totaling approximately ~~$4,273~~$4,368 million ($~~3,570~~3,641 million at FPL) and ~~$3,704~~$4,559 million ($~~3,124~~3,799 million at FPL), respectively, which are included in special use funds and noncurrent other assets on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheets and in special use funds on FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. These investments represented primarily commingled funds and ~~mortgage-backed~~asset-backed securities. NEE subsidiaries, including FPL, are not the primary beneficiaries and therefore do not consolidate any of these entities because they do not control any of the ongoing activities of these entities, were not involved in the initial design of these entities and do not have a controlling financial interest in these entities.

Certain subsidiaries of NEE have noncontrolling interests in entities accounted for under the equity method, including NEE's noncontrolling interest in NEP OpCo (see Note 6). These entities are limited partnerships or similar entity structures in which the limited partners or non-managing members do not have substantive rights over the significant activities of these entities, and therefore are considered VIEs. NEE is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have a controlling financial interest in these entities, and therefore does not consolidate any of these entities. NEE’s investment in these entities totaled approximately ~~$4,071~~$4,438 million and ~~$3,932~~$4,214 million at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. At ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, subsidiaries of NEE had guarantees related to certain obligations of one of these entities, as well as commitments to invest ~~an additional approximately $85 million in several of these entities. See further discussion of such guarantee and commitments in Note 12 – Commitments and – Contracts, respectively.~~

~~FPL 2021 Base Rate Proceeding~~ ~~– In March 2021, FPL filed a petition with the FPSC requesting, among other things, approval of a~~ ~~four-year rate plan that would begin in January 2022 (proposed~~ ~~four~~-year rate plan) replacing the current base rate settlement agreement that has been in place since 2017 (2016 rate agreement). As Gulf Power Company legally merged into FPL on January 1, 2021, the proposed ~~four-year rate plan set forth in the petition includes the total revenue requirements of the combined utility system, reflecting the legal and operational consolidation of Gulf Power Company into FPL.~~

On August 10, 2021, FPL and several intervenors in FPL's base rate proceeding filed with the FPSC a joint motion requesting that the FPSC approve a stipulation and settlement signed by those parties (proposed 2021 rate agreement) that would resolve all matters in FPL's pending base rate proceeding. Key elements of the proposed 2021 rate agreement, which would be effective from January 2022 through at least December 2025, include the following:

~~NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

~~(unaudited)~~

•New retail base rates and charges would be established for the combined utility system (including the former Gulf Power Company service area) resulting in the following increases in annualized retail base revenues:

◦~~$692 million beginning January 1, 2022, and~~

◦~~$560 million beginning January 1, 2023.~~

•In addition, FPL will receive, subject to conditions specified in the proposed 2021 rate agreement, base rate increases associated with the addition of up to 894 MW annually of new solar generation (through a Solar Base Rate Adjustment (SoBRA) mechanism) in each of 2024 and 2025, and can carry forward any unused MW in 2024 to 2025. FPL has agreed to an installed cost cap of $1,250 per kilowatt and will be required to demonstrate that these proposed solar facilities are cost effective.

•FPL's authorized regulatory ROE would be 10.60%, with a range of 9.70% to 11.70%. If FPL's earned regulatory ROE were to fall below 9.70%, FPL could seek retail base rate relief. If the earned regulatory ROE were to rise above 11.70%, any party with standing could seek a review of FPL's retail base rates. If the average 30-year U.S. Treasury rate is 2.49% or greater over a consecutive ~~six~~-month period, the authorized regulatory ROE would increase to 10.80% with a range of 9.80% to 11.80%. If triggered, the increase in the authorized regulatory ROE would not result in an incremental general base rate increase, but would apply for all other regulatory purposes, including the SoBRA mechanism.

•Subject to certain conditions, FPL could amortize, over the term of the proposed 2021 rate agreement, up to $1.45 billion of depreciation reserve surplus, provided that in any year of the proposed 2021 rate agreement FPL would amortize at least enough reserve amount to maintain its minimum authorized regulatory ROE and also would not amortize any reserve amount that would result in an earned regulatory ROE in excess of its maximum authorized regulatory ROE. FPL is limited to the amortization of $200 million of depreciation reserve surplus during the first year of the proposed 2021 rate agreement.

•FPL will be authorized to expand SolarTogether™, a voluntary community solar program that gives FPL electric customers an opportunity to participate directly in the expansion of solar energy and receive credits on their related monthly customer bill, by constructing an additional 1,788 MW of solar generation from 2022 through 2025, such that the total capacity of SolarTogether™ would be 3,278 MW.

•Future storm restoration costs would continue to be recoverable on an interim basis beginning 60 days from the filing of a cost recovery petition, but capped at an amount that produces a surcharge of no more than $4 for every 1,000 kWh of usage on residential bills during the first 12 months of cost recovery. Any additional costs would be eligible for recovery in subsequent years. If storm restoration costs were to exceed $800 million in any given calendar year, FPL could request an increase to the $4 surcharge.

•If federal or state permanent corporate income tax changes become effective during the term of the proposed 2021 rate agreement, FPL will be able to prospectively adjust base rates after a review by the FPSC.

~~The proposed 2021 rate agreement is subject to FPSC approval. Hearings on the proposed~~ ~~four-year rate plan and the proposed 2021 rate agreement were held in September 2021 and the FPSC is expected to rule on the proposed 2021 rate agreement on October 26, 2021.~~

~~Regulatory Assets of Gulf Power~~ – In March 2021, the FPSC approved a request to establish regulatory assets of approximately $462 million for the unrecovered investment in Plant Crist and to defer the recovery of the regulatory assets until base rates are reset in the base rate proceeding discussed above. The amount and recovery period are subject to FPSC prudence review.

In March 2021, the FPSC approved a request to begin recovering eligible storm restoration costs, which are currently estimated at approximately $186 million, related to Hurricane Sally through an interim surcharge effective March 2, 2021, with the amount collected subject to refund based on an FPSC prudence review.

Restricted Cash – At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, NEE had approximately ~~$312~~$1,261 million ($6845 million for FPL) and ~~$441~~$677 million ($~~135~~53 million for FPL), respectively, of restricted cash, of which ~~approximately $312 million ($68 million for FPL) and $374 million ($93 million for FPL), respectively,~~ is included in current ~~other assets and the remaining balance is included in noncurrent~~ other assets on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash is primarily related to debt service payments and margin cash collateral requirements at NEER and bond proceeds held for construction at FPL. In addition, where offsetting positions exist, restricted cash related to margin cash collateral of ~~$761~~$402 million is netted against derivative assets and ~~$410~~$985 million is netted against derivative liabilities at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~$183~~$121 million is netted against derivative assets and ~~$136~~$172 million is netted against derivative liabilities at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. See Note 2.

Disposal of Businesses/Assets and Sale of Noncontrolling Ownership Interests – In ~~February 2020, a subsidiary~~December 2021, subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources ~~completed the sale of its~~sold their 100% ownership interest, comprised of a 50% controlling ownership interest to a NEP subsidiary and a 50% noncontrolling ownership interest to a third party, in 2a portfolio of 7 wind generation facilities and 6 solar generation facilities ~~located in Spain with~~representing a total generating capacity of ~~99.8~~2,520 MW and 115 MW of battery storage capacity, 3 of which ~~resulted in net cash proceeds of approximately €111 million (approximately $121 million).~~facilities were under construction. In connection with the sale, a gain of approximately $270 million (pretax and after tax) was recorded in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and is included in gains (losses) on disposal of businesses/assets – net.

In The remaining contract liability balance primarily relates to differential membership interests proceeds and is contingent on the enactment of a solar PTC by October ~~2021, subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources completed the sale to a NEP subsidiary of their 100% ownership interests in 3 wind generation facilities~~31, 2022 and 1 solar generation facility located in the West and Midwest regions of the U.S. with a total generating capacity of 467 MW and 33.3% of the noncontrolling ownership interests in 4 solar generation facilities and multiple distributed generation solar facilities located in geographically diverse locations throughout the U.S. representing a total net generating capacity of 122 MW for cash proceeds of approximately $563 million, plus working capital and other adjustments of $26 million (subject to post-closing adjustments). A NEER affiliate will continue to operate the facilities included in the sale. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets related to the facilities that were classified as held for sale, which areis included in current other ~~assets~~liabilities on NEE’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2022. If there is an enactment of a solar PTC by October 31, 2022, the contract liability will be reversed and the additional sales proceeds recognized for accounting purposes. Otherwise, NextEra Energy Resources may be required to return proceeds related to differential membership interests of approximately $117 million to NEP. In addition, NextEra Energy Resources is responsible to pay for all construction costs related to the portfolio. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $545 million and $970 million, respectively, is included in accounts payable on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheets ~~were approximately $546 million at September 30, 2021~~ and primarily represent property, plant and equipment. Liabilities associated with assets held for sale, which are included in current other liabilities on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheets, were approximately $20 million at September 30, 2021. In addition, as a result of the sale, NEP assumed noncontrolling interests related to differential membership investors, which totaled approximately $122 million at September 30, 2021, and are included in noncontrolling interests on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheet, and NEER will record approximately $124 million in noncontrolling ownership interests.represents amounts owed by NextEra Energy Resources ~~is in the process of finalizing the accounting~~to NEP to reimburse NEP for ~~the transaction.~~

In October 2021, subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell to a NEP subsidiary a 50% controlling ownership interest in a portfolio of 7 wind generation facilities and 6 solar generation facilities in geographically diverse locations throughout the U.S. representing a total net generating capacity of 1,260 MW and 58 MW of battery storage capacity, all of which are currently under construction. NEER expects to close the sale during the fourth quarter of 2021 or in early 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and the receipt of regulatory approvals, for approximately $849 million, subject to closing adjustments. Additionally, NEP’s share of the entities’ noncontrolling interests related to differential membership investors is estimated to be approximately $866 million at the time of closing.

~~Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Bad Debt~~ –FPL maintains an accumulated provision for uncollectible customer accounts receivable that is estimated using a percentage, derived from historical revenue and write-off trends, of the previous four months of revenue and includes estimates of credit and other losses based on both current events and forecasts. NEER regularly reviews collectibility of its receivables and establishes a provision for losses estimated as a percentage of accounts receivable based on the historical bad debt write-off trends for its retail electricity provider operations, as well as includes estimates for credit and other losses based on both current events and forecasts. When necessary, NEER uses the specific identification method for all other receivables.construction costs.

Credit Losses – NEE's credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates. Prospective and existing customers are reviewed for creditworthiness based on established standards and credit quality indicators. Credit quality indicators and standards that are closely monitored include credit ratings, certain financial ratios and delinquency trends which are based off the latest available information. Customers not meeting minimum standards provide various credit enhancements or secured payment terms, such as letters of credit, the posting of margin cash collateral or use of master netting arrangements.

For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ NEE recorded approximately ~~$143~~$37 million and ~~$79~~$152 million of bad debt expense, including credit losses, respectively, which are included in O&M expenses in NEE’s condensed consolidated statements of ~~income.~~income (loss). The ~~amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2021~~amounts primarily ~~relates~~relate to credit losses at NEER driven by the operational and energy market impacts of the February 2021 weather event. The estimate for credit losses related to the impacts of the February ~~weather event was developed based on NEE’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of these receivables under potential workout scenarios. At September 30,~~ 2021 ~~approximately $127 million of allowances are included in noncurrent other assets on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the February~~ weather ~~event.~~

~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~ – Effective January 1, 2020, NEE and FPL adopted an accounting standards update that provides for a new methodology, the current expected credit loss (CECL) model, to account for credit losses for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost. On January 1, 2020, NEE recorded a reduction to retained earnings of approximately $11 million representing the cumulative effect of adopting the new standards update, which primarily related to the impact of applying the CECL model to NEER's receivables. The impact of adopting the new standards update was not material to FPL. See also Note 3 – Special Use Funds.

~~Reference Rate Reform~~ – In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update which provides certain options to apply GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting as companies transition from the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. NEE’s and FPL’s contracts that reference LIBOR or other interbank offered rates mainly relate to debt and derivative instruments. The standards update was effective upon issuance but can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. As agreements that reference LIBOR or other interbank offered rates as an interest rate benchmark are amended, NEE and FPL evaluate whether to apply the options provided by the standards update with regard to eligible contract modifications.

Insurance – Liability for accidents at nuclear power plants is governed by the Price-Anderson Act, which limits the liability of nuclear reactor owners to the amount of insurance available from both private sources and an industry retrospective payment plan. In accordance with this Act, NEE maintains $450 million of private liability insurance per site, which is the maximum obtainable, except at Duane Arnold which obtained an exemption from the NRC and maintains a $100 million private liability insurance limit. Each site, except Duane Arnold, participates in a secondary financial protection system, which provides up to $13.1 billion of liability insurance coverage per incident at any nuclear reactor in the U.S. Under the secondary financial protection system, NEE is subject to retrospective assessments of up to $963 million ($550 million for FPL), plus any applicable taxes, per incident at any nuclear reactor in the U.S., payable at a rate not to exceed $143 million ($82 million for FPL) per incident per year. NextEra Energy Resources and FPL are contractually entitled to recover a proportionate share of such assessments from the owners of minority interests in Seabrook and St. Lucie Unit No. 2, which approximates $16 million and $20 million, plus any applicable taxes, per incident, respectively.

NEE participates in a nuclear insurance mutual company that provides $2.75 billion of limited insurance coverage per occurrence per site for property damage, decontamination and premature decommissioning risks at its nuclear plants and a sublimit of $1.5 billion for non-nuclear perils, except for Duane Arnold which has a limit of $50 million for property damage, decontamination risks and non-nuclear perils. NEE participates in co-insurance of 10% of the first $400 million of losses per site per occurrence, except at Duane Arnold. The proceeds from such insurance, however, must first be used for reactor stabilization and site decontamination before they can be used for plant repair. NEE also participates in an insurance program that provides limited coverage for replacement power costs if a nuclear plant is out of service for an extended period of time because of an accident. In the event of an accident at one of NEE's or another participating insured's nuclear plants, NEE could be assessed up to ~~$163~~$158 million ($~~104~~101 million for FPL), plus any applicable taxes, in retrospective premiums in a policy year. NextEra Energy Resources and FPL are contractually entitled to recover a proportionate share of such assessments from the owners of minority interests in Seabrook, Duane Arnold and St. Lucie Unit No. 2, which approximates $2 million, $2 million and $4 million, plus any applicable taxes, respectively.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Concluded)

(unaudited)

Due to the high cost and limited coverage available from third-party insurers, NEE does not have property insurance coverage for a substantial portion of either its transmission and distribution property or natural gas pipeline assets. If ~~either the FPL segment's or Gulf Power's~~FPL's future storm restoration costs exceed ~~their respective~~the storm and property insurance reserve, such storm restoration costs may be recovered, subject to prudence review by the FPSC, through surcharges approved by the FPSC or through securitization provisions pursuant to Florida law.

In the event of a loss, the amount of insurance available might not be adequate to cover property damage and other expenses incurred. Uninsured losses and other expenses, to the extent not recovered from customers in the case of ~~the~~ FPL, ~~segment or Gulf Power,~~ would be borne by NEE and FPL, and could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

~~Coronavirus Pandemic~~ – NEE and FPL are closely monitoring the global outbreak of COVID-19 and are taking steps intended to mitigate the potential risks to NEE and FPL posed by COVID-19. NEE, including FPL, has implemented its pandemic plan, which includes putting in place various processes and procedures to limit the impact on its business, as well as the spread of the virus in its workforce. NEE and its subsidiaries, including FPL, have been able to access the capital markets. To date, there has been no material impact on NEE’s or FPL’s workforce, operations, financial performance, liquidity or on their supply chain as a result of

~~(unaudited)~~

COVID-19; however, the ultimate severity or duration of the outbreak or its effects on the global, national or local economy, the capital and credit markets, or NEE’s and FPL’s workforce, customers and suppliers are uncertain. NEE and FPL cannot predict whether COVID-19 will have a material impact on their businesses, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

13. Segment Information

The tables below present information for NEE's ~~and FPL's segments. NEE's segments include its~~two reportable segments, ~~the~~ FPL, ~~segment,~~ a rate-regulated utility business, and NEER, which is comprised of competitive energy and rate-regulated transmission businesses, as well as an operating segment of NEE, Gulf Power, a rate-regulated utility business. FPL's reportable segments include the FPL segment and Gulf Power. See Note 5 – Merger of FPL and Gulf Power Company.businesses. Corporate and Other ~~for each of NEE and FPL~~ represents other business activities, ~~such as purchase accounting adjustments for Gulf Power Company,~~ includes eliminating entries, and may include the net effect of rounding. Effective January 1, 2022, FPL became regulated as one ratemaking entity with new unified rates and tariffs, and became one reportable segment at NEE. As a result, the previous segments known as the FPL segment and Gulf Power are no longer separate reportable segments. Prior year period amounts for FPL and Corporate and Other were retrospectively adjusted to reflect this segment change.

NEE's segment information is as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

NEE’s operating performance is driven primarily by the operations of its two principal businesses, FPL, which serves more than ~~5.6~~5.7 million customer accounts in Florida and is one of the largest electric utilities in the U.S., and NEER, which together with affiliated entities is the world's largest generator of renewable energy from the wind and sun based on ~~2020~~2021 MWh produced on a net generation basis. The table below presents net income (loss) attributable to NEE and earnings (loss) per share attributable to NEE, assuming dilution, by reportable segment, ~~the~~ FPL ~~segment~~ and NEER ~~as well as an operating segment of NEE, Gulf Power, which was acquired by NEE in January 2019 and merged into FPL on January 1, 2021 (see Note 5~~ – ~~Merger of FPL and Gulf Power Company)~~. Corporate and Other is primarily comprised of the operating results of other business activities, as well as other income and expense items, including interest expense, and eliminating entries, and may include the net effect of rounding. ~~Prior year's share-based data included in Management's Discussion has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the 2020 stock split.~~ See Note ~~10 – Earnings Per Share.~~13 for additional segment information, including a discussion of a change in segment reporting. The following discussions should be read in conjunction with the Notes contained herein and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. The results of operations for an interim period generally will not give a true indication of results for the year.

(a) FPL's and Corporate and Other's results for 2021 were retrospectively adjusted to reflect a segment change. See Note 13.

(b) NEER’s results reflect an allocation of interest expense from NEECH to NextEra Energy Resources' subsidiaries based on a deemed capital structure of 70% debt and differential membership interests sold by NextEra Energy Resources' subsidiaries.

Adjusted Earnings

NEE prepares its financial statements under GAAP. However, management uses earnings adjusted for certain items (adjusted earnings), a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, analysis of performance, reporting of results to the Board of Directors and as an input in determining performance-based compensation under NEE’s employee incentive compensation plans. NEE also uses adjusted earnings when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. NEE’s management believes that adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of NEE's fundamental earnings power. Although these amounts are properly reflected in the determination of net income (loss) under GAAP, management believes that the amount and/or nature of such items make period to period comparisons of operations difficult and potentially confusing. Adjusted earnings do not represent a substitute for net income (loss), as prepared under GAAP.

The following table provides details of the after-tax adjustments to net income (loss) considered in computing NEE's adjusted earnings (loss) discussed above.

NEE segregates into two categories unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses and timing impacts related to derivative transactions. The first category, referred to as non-qualifying hedges, represents certain energy derivative, interest rate derivative and foreign currency transactions entered into as economic hedges, which do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting or for which hedge accounting treatment is not elected or has been discontinued. Changes in the fair value of those transactions are marked to market and reported in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss), resulting in earnings volatility because the economic offset to certain of the positions are generally not marked to market. As a consequence, NEE's net income (loss) reflects only the movement in one part of economically-linked transactions. For example, a gain (loss) in the non-qualifying hedge category for certain energy derivatives is offset by decreases (increases) in the fair value of related physical asset positions in the portfolio or contracts, which are not marked to market under GAAP. For this reason, NEE's management views results expressed excluding the impact of the non-qualifying hedges as a meaningful measure of current period performance. The second category, referred to as trading activities, which is included in adjusted earnings, represents the net unrealized effect of actively traded positions entered into to take advantage of expected market price movements and all other commodity hedging activities. At FPL, substantially all changes in the fair value of energy derivative transactions are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability until the contracts are settled, and, upon settlement, any gains or losses are passed through the fuel clause. See Note 2.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary

Net income (loss) attributable to NEE decreased by $2,117 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021 was lower than the prior year period by $782 million~~March 31, 2022 reflecting lower results at NEER and Corporate and Other, partly offset by higher results at the FPL segment. Net income attributable to NEE for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was lower than the prior year period by $555 million reflecting lower results at NEER, partly offset by higher results at Corporate and Other, the FPL segment and Gulf Power.FPL.

FPL's net income increased by $79 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 reflecting $79 million higher results at the FPL segment. FPL's net income increased by $252 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily reflecting $227 million higher results at the FPL segment and $26 million higher results at Gulf Power. The FPL segment's increase in net income for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by continued investments in plant in service and other property. ~~Gulf Power's increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by reductions in O&M expenses.~~

NEER's results decreased for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 primarily reflecting unfavorable non-qualifying hedge activity compared to ~~2020~~2021, an impairment charge on the Mountain Valley Pipeline investment and ~~losses associated with~~unfavorable changes in the fair value of equity securities in NEER's nuclear decommissioning funds compared to 2020. NEER's results decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily reflecting unfavorable non-qualifying hedge activity compared to 2020 and the absence of the 2020 gain on the sale of the Spain projects. In October 2021, subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources completed the sale to a NEP subsidiary of their ownership interests in a portfolio of wind and solar generation facilities with a combined net generating capacity totaling approximately 589 MW. In addition, in October 2021, subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell to a NEP subsidiary controlling ownership interests in a portfolio of wind and solar generation facilities with a combined net generating capacity of 1,260 MW and 58 MW of battery storage capacity. See Note 11 – Disposal of Businesses/Assets and Sale of Noncontrolling Ownership Interests.funds.

Corporate and Other's results decreased for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 primarily due to less ~~favorable non-qualifying hedge activity. Corporate and Other's results increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to~~ favorable non-qualifying hedge activity.

NEE's effective income tax rates for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ were approximately ~~(10)%~~34% and ~~10%, respectively. NEE's effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately 4% and 3%~~14%, respectively. See Note 4 for a discussion of NEE's and FPL's effective income tax rates.

On June 30, 2021, the Internal Revenue Service issued guidance that extends the safe harbor for continuous efforts and continuous construction requirements to provide wind and solar facilities that began construction between 2016 and 2019 with six years to complete construction and to provide wind and solar facilities that began construction in 2020 with five years to achieve their in service dates and qualify for the applicable tax credits. Also, if the time period to satisfy the safe harbor has passed, the continuity requirementNEE, including FPL, is ~~satisfied by demonstrating satisfaction of either the continuous efforts or continuous construction requirement, regardless of the method used to begin construction.~~

~~NEE and FPL are closely~~ monitoring the ~~global outbreak~~U.S. Department of ~~COVID-19~~Commerce's investigation into an antidumping and ~~are~~countervailing duties circumvention claim on solar cells and panels supplied from Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. While the investigation is expected to disrupt the solar panel supply chain in the near-term, NEE, including FPL, is taking steps intended to mitigate ~~the~~ potential risks to their solar project development and construction activities, including working with their suppliers and/or customers to assess the potential impacts of the investigation. Additionally, certain suppliers could be blocked from importing solar panels to the U.S. under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA). UFLPA seeks to block the import of products made with forced labor in certain areas of China. An inter-agency task force was established to produce a report by June 21, 2022 which, among other things, will include a list of entities that are believed to be using or benefiting from forced labor. NEE, including FPL, is monitoring whether UFLPA will affect any of its solar module suppliers. To date, there has been no material impact on NEE's or FPL's operations or financial performance as a result of these activities; however, the ultimate severity or duration of the expected solar panel supply chain disruption or its effects on NEE's and ~~FPL posed by COVID-19. See Note 12 – Coronavirus Pandemic.~~FPL's solar project development and construction activities is uncertain.

FPL: ~~Results of Operations~~

~~The table below presents net income for FPL~~ ~~by reportable segment, the~~ ~~FPL segment and~~ ~~Gulf Power~~. On January 1, 2021, FPL and Gulf Power Company merged, with FPL as the surviving entity. However, FPL will continue to be regulated as two separate ratemaking entities until the FPSC approves consolidation of the FPL segment and Gulf Power rates and tariffs. The FPL segment and Gulf Power will continue to be separate operating segments of NEE as well as FPL, through 2021. See Note 5 – Merger of FPL and Gulf Power Company. Prior year FPL amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the merger of FPL and Gulf Power Company. ~~In the following discussions, all comparisons are with the corresponding items in the prior year periods.~~

~~FPL Segment:~~ Results of Operations

Investments in plant in service and other property grew ~~the FPL segment's~~FPL's average retail rate base for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 by approximately ~~$3.0~~$4.1 billion, ~~and $3.4 billion, respectively,~~ when compared to the same ~~periods~~period in the prior year, reflecting, among other things, solar generation additions and ongoing transmission and distribution additions.

The use of reserve amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is permitted by a December 2021 FPSC final order approving a stipulation and settlement between FPL and several intervenors in FPL's base rate proceeding (2021 rate agreement) and, for the prior year period, a December 2016 FPSC final order approving a stipulation and settlement between FPL and several intervenors in a prior base rate ~~agreement.~~proceeding (2016 rate agreement). In order to earn a targeted regulatory ROE, subject to limitations associated with the 2021 and 2016 rate ~~agreement,~~agreements, reserve amortization is calculated using a trailing thirteen-month average of retail rate base and capital structure in conjunction with the trailing twelve months regulatory retail base net operating income, which primarily includes the retail base portion of base and other revenues, net of O&M, depreciation and amortization, interest and tax expenses. In general, the net impact of these income statement line items must be adjusted, in part, by reserve amortization to earn the targeted regulatory ROE. In certain periods, reserve amortization is reversed so as not to exceed the targeted regulatory ROE. The drivers of ~~the FPL segment's~~FPL's net income not reflected in the reserve amortization calculation typically include wholesale and transmission service revenues and expenses, cost recovery clause revenues and expenses, AFUDC – equity and revenue and costs not recoverable from retail customers. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~the~~ FPL ~~segment~~ recorded ~~the reversal of~~total reserve amortization of approximately ~~$124~~$238 million, including a one-time reserve amortization adjustment of $114 million discussed below, and reserve amortization of ~~$291 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the FPL segment recorded the reversal of reserve amortization of approximately $258 million and $101~~$316 million, respectively. During both 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, the~~ FPL ~~segment~~ earned an approximately 11.60% regulatory ROE on its retail rate base, based on a trailing thirteen-month average retail rate base as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

On March 12, 2021, FPL filed a petition with the FPSC requesting, among other things, approval of a proposed four-year rate plan that would begin in January 2022 replacing the 2016 rate agreement. As Gulf Power Company legally merged into FPL on January 1, 2021, the proposed four-year rate plan set forth in the petition includes the total revenue requirements of the combined utility system, reflecting the legal and operational consolidation of Gulf Power Company into FPL. On August 10, 2021, FPL and several intervenors in FPL's base rate proceeding filed with the FPSC a joint motion requesting that the FPSC approve a stipulation and settlement signed by those parties that would resolve all matters in FPL's pending base rate proceeding. The proposed 2021 rate agreement is subject to FPSC approval. Hearings on the proposed four-year rate plan and the proposed 2021 rate agreement were held in September 2021 and the FPSC is expected to rule on the proposed 2021 rate agreement on October 26, 2021. See Note 11 – FPL 2021 Base Rate Proceeding.

In March 2020, the FPSC approved the SolarTogether™ program, a voluntary community solar program that gives certain FPL electric customers an opportunity to participate directly in the expansion of solar energy and receive credits on their related monthly customer bill. The program includes the addition of 20 dedicated 74.5 MW solar power plants owned and operated by FPL. As of June 30, 2021, all 20 plants had been placed into service.

Operating Revenues

During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, operating revenues increased ~~$239 million and $716 million, respectively.~~$742 million. The increase for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 primarily reflects higher fuel revenues of approximately ~~$210~~$385 million, ~~and $605 million, respectively,~~ primarily related to higher fuel and energy prices. Retail base revenues ~~decreased $10 million and $16~~increased $194 million during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in retail base revenues reflects additional revenues of approximately $132 million related to new retail base rates under the 2021 rate agreement. Retail base revenues during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 were also impacted by ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~2.9% and 2.4%, respectively,~~1.0% in the average usage per retail customer, primarily related to ~~unfavorable~~favorable weather when compared to the prior year period, and an increase of ~~1.5%~~1.6% in the average number of customer ~~accounts~~accounts. The increase in operating revenues for ~~both periods.~~the three months ended March 31, 2022 also reflects higher other revenues of approximately $163 million, primarily related to increases in storm protection plan and environmental cost recovery clause revenues.

Fuel, Purchased Power and Interchange Expense

Fuel, purchased power and interchange expense increased ~~$214 million and $612~~$428 million for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022, primarily reflecting higher fuel and energy prices.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense ~~decreased $89 million and $274~~increased $124 million during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021, respectively.~~March 31, 2022 primarily reflecting higher plant in service balances, as well as the impact of reserve amortization. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, FPL recorded ~~the reversal of~~ reserve amortization of approximately $124 million and ~~reserve amortization of $291~~$316 million, ~~respectively, compared to the reversal of reserve amortization of approximately $258 million and $101 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,~~ respectively. Reserve amortization, or reversal of such amortization, reflects adjustments to accrued asset removal costs provided under the 2021 and 2016 rate ~~agreement~~agreements in order to achieve the targeted regulatory ROE. Reserve amortization is recorded as ~~a reduction (or when reversed as~~either an ~~increase)~~increase or decrease to accrued asset removal costs which is reflected in noncurrent regulatory ~~liabilities~~assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. FPL is limited to the amortization of $200 million of depreciation reserve surplus during the first year of the 2021 rate agreement. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, approximately ~~$597~~$76 million ~~remains in accrued asset removal costs related to reserve amortization. The decreases related to~~of reserve amortization ~~were partly offset by increased depreciation related~~remains relative to ~~higher plant in service balances.~~

~~Gulf Power: Results~~the $200 million cap for 2022 and approximately $1,326 million overall for the term of ~~Operations~~

~~Gulf Power's net income was flat for~~the 2021 rate agreement. In addition, during the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022, FPL recorded a one-time reserve amortization adjustment of $114 million as required under the 2021 ~~as compared~~rate agreement, 50% of which was used to reduce the ~~prior year period.

Existing Generation and Storage Assets

Results from existing generation and storage assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased primarily due to the absence of the unfavorable results driven by the operational and energy market impacts of the February 2021 weather event.

Other Factors

Supplemental to the primary drivers of the changes in NEER's net income (loss) less net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests discussed above, the discussion below describes changes in certain line items set forth in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) as they relate to NEER.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 decreased ~~$695~~$1,581 million primarily due to:

•the impact of non-qualifying commodity hedges due primarily to changes in energy prices (approximately ~~$1,268~~$2,150 million of losses for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to ~~$410~~$571 million of losses for the comparable period in ~~2020)~~2021), and

•~~lower revenues from existing generation and storage assets of $45 million primarily due to the closure of Duane Arnold in August 2020,~~

~~partly offset by,~~

•net ~~increases~~decreases in revenues of ~~$110~~$190 million from the customer supply, proprietary power and gas trading, and gas infrastructure businesses ~~and~~primarily due to the absence of revenues related to the February 2021 weather event,

partly offset by,

•~~revenues from new investments of $80 million.~~

~~Operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased $2,382 million primarily due to:~~

•the impact of non-qualifying commodity hedges due primarily to changes in energy prices (approximately $2,808 million of losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $226 million of losses for the comparable period in 2020), and

•~~lower~~higher revenues from existing generation and storage assets of ~~$307~~$140 million primarily due to higher wind revenues as compared to the ~~closure of Duane Arnold in August 2020 and~~prior year period which was impacted by the February 2021 weather event, and

~~partly offset by,~~

•~~net~~other increases in revenues of ~~$222~~approximately $48 million ~~from the customer supply, proprietary power and gas trading, and gas infrastructure businesses, and~~

•~~revenues from new investments~~primarily related to NEET's acquisition of ~~$238 million.~~GridLiance.

Operating Expenses – net

Operating expenses – net for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021 increased $295~~March 31, 2022 decreased $4 million primarily due to ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$106~~$51 million in O&M expenses primarily related to lower bad debt expense associated with the February 2021 weather event (see Note 11 – Credit Losses), partly offset by higher corporate operating expenses. Additionally, fuel expense increased approximately $35 million and ~~an increase in~~ depreciation expense ~~of $105 million primarily related to new investments.~~

~~Gains (Losses) on Disposal of Businesses/Assets~~ – ~~net~~

The change in gains on disposal of businesses/assets – net primarily relates to the absence in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of the sale of the Spain projects that occurred in the first quarter of 2020. See Note 11 – Disposal of Businesses/Assets and Sale of Noncontrolling Ownership Interests.

~~Interest Expense~~

NEER’s interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased approximately $327 million primarily reflecting $307 million of favorable impacts related to changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments.increased $9 million.

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Equity Method Investees

NEER recognized ~~$109~~$453 million of equity in ~~earnings~~losses of equity method investees for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to ~~$249~~$440 million of equity in earnings of equity method investees for the prior year period. The change for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 primarily reflects ~~lower~~an impairment charge related to the investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline of approximately $0.8 billion (see Note 3 – Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements) and a decrease in equity in earnings of NEP recorded in ~~2021 when compared to the prior year period~~2022 primarily due to unfavorable impacts related to changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments. NEER recognized $465 million of equity in earnings of equity method investees for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $13 million of equity in earnings of equity method investees for the prior year period. The change for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily reflects higher equity in earnings of NEP recorded in 2021 primarily due toless favorable impacts related to changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments.

Change in Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Equity Securities Held in NEER's Nuclear Decommissioning Funds – net

For the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, changes in the fair value of equity securities in NEER's nuclear decommissioning funds related to unfavorable market conditions in ~~2021~~2022 compared to favorable market conditions in 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, changes in the fair value of equity securities in NEER's nuclear decommissioning funds related to favorable market conditions in 2021 compared to unfavorable market conditions in 2020.2021.

Tax Credits, Benefits and Expenses

PTCs from wind projects and ITCs from solar and certain wind projects are included in NEER’s earnings. PTCs are recognized as wind energy is generated and sold based on a per kWh rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes. A portion of the PTCs and ITCs have been allocated to investors in connection with sales of differential membership interests. Also see Note 4 for a discussion of other income tax impacts.

GridLiance Acquisition

On March 31, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of NEET acquired GridLiance, which owns and operates three FERC-regulated transmission utilities with high-voltage transmission lines across six states, five in the Midwest and Nevada. See Note 5 – GridLiance.

Corporate and Other: Results of Operations

Corporate and Other at NEE is primarily comprised of the operating results of other business activities, as well as corporate interest income and expenses. Corporate and Other allocates a portion of NEECH's corporate interest expense to NextEra Energy Resources. Interest expense is allocated based on a deemed capital structure of 70% debt and differential membership interests sold by NextEra Energy Resources' subsidiaries.

Corporate and Other's results decreased ~~$57 million and increased $619~~$225 million during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021, respectively.~~March 31, 2022. The decrease for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 primarily reflects less favorable after-tax impacts of approximately $82 million, as compared to the prior year period, related to non-qualifying hedge activity as a result of changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily reflects favorable after-tax impacts of approximately $612$222 million, as compared to the prior year period, related to non-qualifying hedge activity as a result of changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

NEE and its subsidiaries require funds to support and grow their businesses. These funds are used for, among other things, working capital, capital expenditures (see Note 12 – Commitments), investments in or acquisitions of assets and businesses (see Note 5), payment of maturing debt and related derivative obligations (see Note 2) and, from time to time, redemption or repurchase of outstanding debt ~~(see Note 9)~~ or equity securities. It is anticipated that these requirements will be satisfied through a combination of cash flows from operations, short- and long-term borrowings, the issuance of short- and long-term debt and, from time to time, equity securities, proceeds from differential membership investors and sales of assets to NEP or third parties, consistent with NEE’s and FPL’s objective of maintaining, on a long-term basis, a capital structure that will support a strong investment grade credit rating. NEE, FPL and NEECH rely on access to credit and capital markets as significant sources of liquidity for capital requirements and other operations that are not satisfied by operating cash flows. The inability of NEE, FPL and NEECH to maintain their current credit ratings could affect their ability to raise short- and long-term capital, their cost of capital and the execution of their respective financing strategies, and could require the posting of additional collateral under certain agreements.

Guarantees, Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Indemnifications (Guarantee Arrangements)

Certain subsidiaries of NEE issue guarantees and obtain letters of credit and surety bonds, as well as provide indemnities, to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties and financings. Substantially all of the guarantee arrangements are on behalf of NEE’s consolidated subsidiaries, as discussed in more detail below. See Note 6 regarding guarantees of obligations on behalf of NEP subsidiaries. NEE is not required to recognize liabilities associated with guarantee arrangements issued on behalf of its consolidated subsidiaries unless it becomes probable that they will be required to perform. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, NEE believes that there is no material exposure related to these guarantee arrangements.

NEE subsidiaries issue guarantees related to equity contribution agreements associated with the development, construction and financing of certain power generation facilities, engineering, procurement and construction agreements and equity contributions associated with a natural gas pipeline project under construction and a related natural gas transportation agreement. Commitments associated with these activities are included and/or disclosed in the contracts table in Note 12.

In addition, at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, NEE subsidiaries had approximately ~~$4.6~~$5.2 billion in guarantees related to obligations under purchased power agreements, nuclear-related activities, payment obligations related to PTCs, as well as other types of contractual obligations (see Note 3 – Contingent Consideration and Note 12 – Commitments).

In some instances, subsidiaries of NEE elect to issue guarantees instead of posting other forms of collateral required under certain financing arrangements, as well as for other project-level cash management activities. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, these guarantees totaled approximately ~~$451~~$561 million and support, among other things, cash management activities, including those related to debt service and operations and maintenance service agreements, as well as other specific project financing requirements.

Subsidiaries of NEE also issue guarantees to support customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading activities, including the buying and selling of wholesale and retail energy commodities. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the estimated mark-to-market exposure (the total amount that these subsidiaries of NEE could be required to fund based on energy commodity market prices at

5142

~~at September 30, 2021)~~March 31, 2022) plus contract settlement net payables, net of collateral posted for obligations under these guarantees, totaled approximately ~~$2.5~~$3.7 billion.

At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, subsidiaries of NEE also had approximately ~~$3.0~~$4.1 billion of standby letters of credit and approximately ~~$844~~$918 million of surety bonds to support certain of the commercial activities discussed above. FPL's and NEECH's credit facilities are available to support the amount of the standby letters of credit.

In addition, as part of contract negotiations in the normal course of business, certain subsidiaries of NEE have agreed and in the future may agree to make payments to compensate or indemnify other parties, including those associated with asset divestitures, for possible unfavorable financial consequences resulting from specified events. The specified events may include, but are not limited to, an adverse judgment in a lawsuit, or the imposition of additional taxes due to a change in tax law or interpretations of the tax ~~law, or the triggering of cash grant recapture provisions under the Recovery Act.~~law. NEE is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments by its subsidiaries under some of these contracts because events that would obligate them to make payments have not yet occurred or, if any such event has occurred, they have not been notified of its occurrence.

NEECH, a 100% owned subsidiary of NEE, provides funding for, and holds ownership interests in, NEE's operating subsidiaries other than FPL. NEE has fully and unconditionally guaranteed certain payment obligations of NEECH, including most of its debt and all of its debentures registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and commercial paper issuances, as well as most of its payment guarantees and indemnifications, and NEECH has guaranteed certain debt and other obligations of subsidiaries within the NEER segment. Certain guarantee arrangements described above contain requirements for NEECH and FPL to maintain a specified credit rating.

NEE fully and unconditionally guarantees NEECH debentures pursuant to a guarantee agreement, dated as of June 1, 1999 (1999 guarantee) and NEECH junior subordinated debentures pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 1, 2006 (2006 guarantee). The 1999 guarantee is an unsecured obligation of NEE and ranks equally and ratably with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of NEE. The 2006 guarantee is unsecured and subordinate and junior in right of payment to NEE senior indebtedness (as defined therein). No payment on those junior subordinated debentures may be made under the 2006 guarantee until all NEE senior indebtedness has been paid in full in certain circumstances. NEE’s and NEECH’s ability to meet their financial obligations are primarily dependent on their subsidiaries’ net income, cash flows and their ability to pay upstream dividends or to repay funds to NEE and NEECH. The dividend-paying ability of some of the subsidiaries is limited by contractual restrictions which are contained in outstanding financing agreements.

Summarized financial information of NEE and NEECH is as follows:

~~Shelf Registration~~

In March 2021, NEE, NEECH and FPL filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for an unspecified amount of securities, which became effective upon filing. The amount of securities issuable by the companies is established from time to time by their respective boards of directors. Securities that may be issued under the registration statement include, depending on the registrant, senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities, junior subordinated debentures, first mortgage bonds, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, stock purchase contracts, stock purchase units, warrants and guarantees related to certain of those securities.

~~Covenants~~

On June 15, 2021, NEECH designated its 3.50% Debentures, Series due April 1, 2029 as the Covered Debt for purposes of the Replacement Capital Covenant from NEECH and NEE, dated September 19, 2006, as amended, and the Replacement Capital Covenant from NEECH and NEE, dated June 12, 2007, as amended, replacing its 3.625% Debentures, Series due June 15, 2023.

ENERGY MARKETING AND TRADING AND MARKET RISK SENSITIVITY

NEE and FPL are exposed to risks associated with adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates and equity prices. Financial instruments and positions affecting the financial statements of NEE and FPL described below are held primarily for purposes other than trading. Market risk is measured as the potential loss in fair value resulting from hypothetical reasonably possible changes in commodity prices, interest rates or equity prices over the next year. Management has established risk management policies to monitor and manage such market risks, as well as credit risks.

Commodity Price Risk

NEE and FPL use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options, futures and forwards) to manage the physical and financial risks inherent in the purchase and sale of fuel and electricity. In addition, NEE, through NEER, uses derivatives to optimize the value of its power generation and gas infrastructure assets and engages in power and fuel marketing and trading activities to take advantage of expected future favorable price movements. See Note 2.

The changes in the fair value of NEE's consolidated subsidiaries' energy contract derivative instruments for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 were as follows:

With respect to commodities, NEE's Exposure Management Committee (EMC), which is comprised of certain members of senior management, and NEE's chief executive officer are responsible for the overall approval of market risk management policies and the delegation of approval and authorization levels. The EMC and NEE's chief executive officer receive periodic updates on market positions and related exposures, credit exposures and overall risk management activities.

NEE uses a value-at-risk (VaR) model to measure commodity price market risk in its trading and mark-to-market portfolios. The VaR is the estimated loss of market value based on a one-day holding period at a 95% confidence level using historical simulation methodology. The VaR figures are as follows:

(a) The VaR figures for the trading portfolio include positions that are marked to market. Taking into consideration offsetting unmarked non-derivative positions, such as physical inventory, the trading VaR figures were approximately $5 million and $3$9 million at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

(b) Non-qualifying hedges are employed to reduce the market risk exposure to physical assets or contracts which are not marked to market. The VaR figures for the non-qualifying hedges and hedges in FPL cost recovery clauses category do not represent the economic exposure to commodity price movements.

Interest Rate Risk

NEE's and FPL's financial results are exposed to risk resulting from changes in interest rates as a result of their respective outstanding and expected future issuances of debt, investments in special use funds and other investments. NEE and FPL manage their respective interest rate exposure by monitoring current interest rates, entering into interest rate contracts and using a combination of fixed rate and variable rate debt. Interest rate contracts are used to mitigate and adjust interest rate exposure when deemed appropriate based upon market conditions or when required by financing agreements.

The following are estimates of the fair value of NEE's and FPL's financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk:

(a)See Notes 2 and 3.

The special use funds of NEE and FPL consist of restricted funds set aside to cover the cost of storm damage for FPL and for the decommissioning of NEE's and FPL's nuclear power plants. A portion of these funds is invested in fixed income debt securities primarily carried at estimated fair value. At FPL, changes in fair value, including any credit losses, result in a corresponding adjustment to the related regulatory asset or liability accounts based on current regulatory treatment. The changes in fair value for NEE's non-rate regulated operations result in a corresponding adjustment to OCI, except for credit losses and unrealized losses on available for sale securities intended or required to be sold prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis, which are reported in current period earnings. Because the funds set aside by FPL for storm damage could be needed at any time, the related investments are generally more liquid and, therefore, are less sensitive to changes in interest rates. The nuclear decommissioning funds, in contrast, are generally invested in longer-term securities.

At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, NEE had interest rate contracts with a notional amount of approximately ~~$10.8~~$11.2 billion to manage exposure to the variability of cash flows associated with expected future and outstanding debt issuances at NEECH and NEER. See Note 2.

Based upon a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, ~~which is a reasonable near-term market change,~~ the fair value of NEE's net liabilities would increase by approximately ~~$1,368~~$1,624 million ($~~595~~735 million for FPL) at ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Equity Price Risk

NEE and FPL are exposed to risk resulting from changes in prices for equity securities. For example, NEE’s nuclear decommissioning reserve funds include marketable equity securities carried at their market value of approximately ~~$5,294~~$5,284 million and ~~$4,726~~$5,511 million ($~~3,427~~3,435 million and ~~$3,012~~$3,552 million for FPL) at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. NEE's and FPL’s investment strategy for equity securities in their nuclear decommissioning reserve funds emphasizes marketable securities which are broadly diversified. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, a hypothetical 10% decrease in the prices quoted on stock exchanges ~~which is a reasonable near-term market change,~~ would result in an approximately ~~$492~~$488 million ($317 million for FPL) reduction in fair value. For FPL, a corresponding adjustment would be made to the related regulatory asset or liability accounts based on current regulatory treatment, and for NEE’s non-rate regulated operations, a corresponding amount would be recorded in change in unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities held in NEER's nuclear decommissioning funds – net in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of ~~income.~~income (loss).

Credit Risk

NEE and its subsidiaries, including FPL, are also exposed to credit risk through their energy marketing and trading operations. Credit risk is the risk that a financial loss will be incurred if a counterparty to a transaction does not fulfill its financial obligation. NEE manages counterparty credit risk for its subsidiaries with energy marketing and trading operations through established policies, including counterparty credit limits, and in some cases credit enhancements, such as cash prepayments, letters of credit, cash and other collateral and guarantees.

5646

Credit risk is also managed through the use of master netting agreements. NEE’s credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates, both on an individual and an aggregate basis. For all derivative and contractual transactions, NEE’s energy marketing and trading operations, which include FPL’s energy marketing and trading division, are exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to these transactions. Some relevant considerations when assessing NEE’s energy marketing and trading operations’ credit risk exposure include the following:

•Operations are primarily concentrated in the energy industry.

•Trade receivables and other financial instruments are predominately with energy, utility and financial services related companies, as well as municipalities, cooperatives and other trading companies in the U.S.

•Overall credit risk is managed through established credit policies and is overseen by the EMC.

•Prospective and existing customers are reviewed for creditworthiness based upon established standards, with customers not meeting minimum standards providing various credit enhancements or secured payment terms, such as letters of credit or the posting of margin cash collateral.

•Master netting agreements are used to offset cash and noncash gains and losses arising from derivative instruments with the same counterparty. NEE’s policy is to have master netting agreements in place with significant counterparties.

Based on NEE’s policies and risk exposures related to credit, NEE and FPL do not anticipate a material adverse effect on their financial statements as a result of counterparty nonperformance. At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022, NEE's credit risk exposure associated with its energy marketing and trading counterparties, taking into account collateral and contractual netting rights, totaled ~~$2.3~~$2.8 billion ($5760 million for FPL), of which approximately ~~59%~~62% (100% for FPL) was with companies that have investment grade credit ratings. With regard to credit risk exposure to counterparties with below investment grade credit ratings, NEE has first lien security positions with respect to approximately ~~60%~~70% of such exposure. For the remaining unsecured positions with counterparties that have below investment grade credit ratings, no one counterparty makes up more than 7%4% of NEE’s total exposure to below investment grade counterparties. See Notes 1, 2 and 11 – Credit Losses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

See Management's Discussion – Energy Marketing and Trading and Market Risk Sensitivity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, each of NEE and FPL had performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including NEE's and FPL's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of each company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of each of NEE and FPL concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

NEE and FPL are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations and of their internal controls. This results in refinements to processes throughout NEE and FPL. However, there has been no change in NEE's or FPL's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during NEE's and FPL's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, NEE's or FPL's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II –�� OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

~~None.~~ With regard to environmental proceedings to which a governmental authority is a party, NEE's and FPL's policy is to disclose any such proceeding if it is reasonably expected to result in monetary sanctions of greater than or equal to $1 million.

On April 1, 2022, ESI Energy, LLC, (ESI Energy), a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, voluntarily entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) related to the accidental fatalities of eagles at certain wind facilities operated by NextEra Energy Resources. Terms of the agreement include a plea by ESI Energy to three misdemeanors of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act associated with accidental eagle fatalities at two wind facilities in Wyoming and one wind facility in New Mexico, payment of approximately $6 million in fines and restitution, five years’ probation, implementation by ESI Energy of an eagle management plan and pursuit of applications for eagle “take” permits under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act for 50 existing or in development wind facilities which NextEra Energy Resources operates or will operate. Under the agreement, the DOJ will not prosecute NextEra Energy Resources or its affiliates for any eagle fatalities that have previously occurred, or may occur, at wind facilities operated by NextEra Energy Resources nationwide prior to the earlier of the date such facility obtains a permit or the date that is up to ten years following court approval of the agreement, provided that ESI Energy remains in compliance with its commitments under the agreement. The agreement has been filed with, and approved by, the U.S. District Court of the District of Wyoming. NextEra Energy Resources voluntarily undertakes adaptive management practices designed to avoid and minimize eagle impacts and, notwithstanding the agreement, continues to believe that the criminal liability provisions of these laws were intended only to apply to hunting, poaching and other intentional activities, and do not apply to accidental collisions with wind turbines or other manufactured items, such as airplanes, locomotives, automobiles and buildings. NEE does not believe ESI Energy’s compliance with the agreement will have a material adverse impact on NEE’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the ~~2020~~2021 Form ~~10-K.~~ 10-K except as updated in the following:

Any reductions or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support utility scale renewable energy, including, but not limited to, tax laws, policies and incentives, renewable portfolio standards (RPS) and feed-in-tariffs, or the imposition of additional taxes, tariffs, duties or other assessments on renewable energy or the equipment necessary to generate or deliver it, could result in, among other items, the lack of a satisfactory market for the development and/or financing of new renewable energy projects, NEER abandoning the development of renewable energy projects, a loss of NEER's investments in renewable energy projects and reduced project returns, any of which could have a material adverse effect on NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

NEER depends heavily on government policies that support utility scale renewable energy and enhance the economic feasibility of developing and operating wind and solar energy projects in regions in which NEER operates or plans to develop and operate renewable energy facilities. The federal government, a majority of state governments in the U.S. and portions of Canada provide incentives, such as tax incentives, RPS or feed-in-tariffs, that support or are designed to support the sale of energy from utility scale renewable energy facilities, such as wind and solar energy facilities. At the same time, the U.S. government generally has not taken action to materially burden the international supply chain that has been important to the development of renewable energy facilities at acceptable prices. As a result of budgetary constraints, political factors or otherwise, governments from time to time may review their laws and policies that support, or do not overly burden, the development and operation of renewable energy facilities and, instead, consider actions that would make the laws and policies less conducive to the development and operation of renewable energy facilities. Any reductions or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support renewable energy or the imposition of additional taxes, tariffs, duties or other assessments on renewable energy or the equipment necessary to generate or deliver it, such as antidumping and countervailing duty rates that could be put in place as a result of the U.S. Department of Commerce's investigation into an antidumping and countervailing duties circumvention claim on solar cells and panels supplied from Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia, could result in, among other items, the lack of a satisfactory market for the development and/or financing of new renewable energy projects, NEER abandoning the development of renewable energy projects, a loss of NEER's investments in the projects and reduced project returns, any of which could have a material adverse effect on NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

NEE and FPL are subject to numerous environmental laws, regulations and other standards that may result in capital expenditures, increased operating costs and various liabilities, and may require NEE and FPL to limit or eliminate certain operations.

NEE and FPL are subject to domestic environmental laws, regulations and other standards, including, but not limited to, extensive federal, state and local environmental statutes, rules and regulations relating to air quality, water quality and usage, soil quality, climate change, emissions of greenhouse gases, waste management, hazardous wastes, marine, avian and other wildlife mortality and habitat protection, historical artifact preservation, natural resources, health (including, but not limited to, electric and magnetic fields from power lines and substations), safety and RPS, that could, among other things, prevent or delay the development of power generation, power or natural gas transmission, or other infrastructure projects, restrict or enjoin the output of some existing facilities, limit the availability and use of some fuels required for the production of electricity, require

additional pollution control equipment, and otherwise increase costs, increase capital expenditures and limit or eliminate certain operations. Certain subsidiaries of NEE are also subject to foreign environmental laws, regulations and other standards and, as such, are subject to similar risks.

There are significant capital, operating and other costs associated with compliance with these environmental statutes, rules and regulations, and those costs could be even more significant in the future as a result of new requirements and stricter or more expansive application of existing environmental laws and regulations.

Violations of current or future laws, rules, regulations or other standards could expose NEE and FPL to regulatory and legal proceedings, disputes with, and legal challenges by, governmental entities and third parties, and potentially significant civil fines, criminal penalties and other sanctions, such as restrictions on how NextEra Energy Resources develops, sites and operates wind facilities. These violations could result in, without limitation, litigation regarding property damage, personal injury, common law nuisance and enforcement by citizens or governmental authorities of environmental requirements. For example, one of NextEra Energy Resources' subsidiaries is currently on probation as a result of accidental collisions of eagles into wind turbines at a number of NextEra Energy Resources' wind facilities. If NextEra Energy Resources' subsidiary violates the terms of the probation, or fails to obtain eagle “take” permits under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act for certain of its wind facilities and additional eagles perish in collisions with facility turbines, NextEra Energy Resources or its subsidiaries may face criminal prosecution under these laws.

The factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K, as well as other information set forth in this report, which could materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects should be carefully considered. The risks described above and in the ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing NEE and FPL. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to NEE or FPL, or that are currently deemed to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect NEE's or FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(a)Includes: (1) in ~~August 2021,~~February 2022, shares of common stock withheld from employees to pay certain withholding taxes upon the vesting of stock awards granted to such employees under the NextEra Energy, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Long Term Incentive Plan; and (2) in ~~September 2021,~~March 2022, shares of common stock purchased as a reinvestment of dividends by the trustee of a grantor trust in connection with NEE's obligation under a February 2006 grant under the NextEra Energy, Inc. Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan to an executive officer of deferred retirement share awards.

(b)In May 2017, NEE's Board of Directors authorized repurchases of up to 45 million shares of common stock (180 million shares after giving effect to the 2020 stock split) over an unspecified period.

Item 5. Other Information

(c) In late February 2022, the NRC reversed a previous decision in FPL’s Turkey Point subsequent license renewal (SLR) case and concluded that its generic environmental impact statement (EIS) for license renewal does not apply to SLR applications. While the NRC left Turkey Point’s renewed operating licenses in effect, it directed the NRC staff to amend those licenses by removing the 20-year term of licensed operation added by the SLR, thereby restoring the previous operating license expiration dates of 2032 and 2033 for Turkey Point Units Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. This decision, together with an associated decision by the NRC that applies to all SLR applications nationwide, including St. Lucie and Point Beach nuclear power plants, provide that SLR applicants, instead of using an existing generic EIS, may satisfy the environmental review requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act only by requesting the NRC staff to proceed with an entirely site-specific EIS or by using a new generic EIS to be issued by the NRC that will apply specifically to SLR applications, which the NRC has directed the NRC staff to initiate. The ultimate resolution of this matter is not expected to have a material effect on NEE's and FPL's operations or financial statements.
