Each reference in this Proxy Statement to a vote of record holders of units includes ~~both~~a vote of record holders of common units and special voting units.

What are the voting rights of the holders of the Company’s units?

Each NextEra Energy Partners unit will be entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the annual meeting. A unit refers to any unit entitled to vote at the annual meeting, including common units and special voting units. However, as explained below, a 5% of outstanding units voting limitation will apply to the election of directors and, in the circumstances described below, a separate 10% ~~vote~~of votes cast cutback ~~applies~~will apply to certain unitholders at the annual meeting.

What is the 5% of outstanding units voting limitation in the election of directors?

The 5% of outstanding units voting limitation will only ~~applies~~apply to the election of directors. A unitholder or any related group, including NextEra Energy, Inc. (“NextEra Energy”) and its affiliates (the “NextEra Energy Group”), ~~owning~~that owns more than 5% of the outstanding units as of the record date cannot vote ~~those~~more than 5% of the total outstanding units ~~that are in excess of 5%~~ in the election of directors at the annual meeting (the “5% of Outstanding Units Director ~~Election~~Voting Limitation”).

The following example of the 5% of Outstanding Units Director ~~Election~~Voting Limitation, which assumes 1,000 total units are outstanding as of the record date, is included for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual ownership of units or votes at the annual ~~meeting.~~meeting:

~~What is~~How does the 10% ~~vote~~of votes cast cutback inapply to the election of directors?

In the election of directors, no unitholder may cast votes greater than 9.99% of votes actually cast. A unitholder or any related group, including the NextEra Energy Group, casting votes equal to or greater than 10% of actual votes cast will be subject to a 10% ~~vote~~of votes cast cutback so that such unitholder(s) cannot cast votes equal to more than 9.99% of the units actually cast in the election of directors at the annual meeting (the “10% of Votes Cast Director Election Cutback”). The units cast in excess of 9.99% will be allocated and voted proportionally with all other votes cast, which will result in the total number of votes counted as being cast by the cutback unitholder to be 9.99% or less of votes cast.

The following example of the 10% of Votes Cast Director Election Cutback, which assumes 1,000 total units are outstanding as of the record date, is included for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual ownership of units or votes at the annual ~~meeting.~~meeting:

Other than in the election of directors, the 10% ~~vote~~of votes cast cutback does not apply to the NextEra Energy ~~Group.~~Group, but is applicable to all other unitholders or groups.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the annual meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the NextEra Energy Partners units issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting the business of the meeting to be conducted.

As of the record date, ~~155,690,995~~177,332,712 NextEra Energy Partners units were outstanding, including 101,440,000 special voting units and ~~54,250,995~~75,892,712 common units. Thus, a total of ~~155,690,995~~177,332,712 votes are entitled to be ~~cast~~present at the annual meeting and the presence of the holders of NextEra Energy Partners units representing at least ~~77,845,498~~88,666,357 units will be required to establish a quorum.

In determining the presence of a quorum at the annual meeting, abstentions in person, proxies received but marked as abstentions as to any or all matters to be voted on that permit abstentions, and proxies received with broker non-votes on some but not all matters to be voted on will be counted as present.

A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker, bank or other holder of record that holds units for a beneficial owner (“broker”) does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary voting power for that particular proposal. Brokers may vote on ratification of the appointment of ~~NextEra Energy Partners’~~our independent registered public accounting firm even if they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owners whose units they hold. However, brokers may not vote on any of the other matters ~~submitted to unitholders~~set forth in this proxy statement at the ~~2017~~2021 annual meeting unless they have received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. See the response to “What vote is required to approve the matters proposed?” on page 6 for a discussion of the effect of broker non-votes.

How do I submit my proxy or voting instructions?

On the ~~Internet~~internet or by telephone

•

On the Internet—You may submit your proxy or voting instructions on the ~~Internet~~internet 24 hours a day and up until
11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on ~~Wednesday, December 20, 2017~~Monday, April 19, 2021 by going to www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions. Please have your Notice available when you access the web page. If you hold your units in “street name,” your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee may provide additional instructions to you regarding how to submit your proxy or voting instructions on the ~~Internet.~~internet.

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

If you are a unitholder of record and you submit your proxy on the ~~Internet~~internet or by telephone, but do not indicate your voting preferences, the persons named as proxies in the Notice will vote the units represented by that proxy as recommended by the Board on all proposals.

In person at the annual meeting

All unitholders may vote in person at the annual meeting. However, if you are a beneficial owner of units, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker and present it to the inspector of election with your ballot to be able to vote in person at the annual meeting. See the response to “Who may attend the annual meeting?” for additional information on how to attend the annual meeting.

Your vote is important. You can save us the expense of further solicitation of proxies by submitting your proxy or voting instructions promptly.

May I change my vote after I submit my proxy or voting instructions?

Yes. If you are a unitholder of record, you may revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:

•

providing written notice of the revocation to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the Company’s offices at P.O. Box 14000, 700 Universe Blvd., Juno Beach, Florida 33408-0420;

•

making timely delivery of later-dated voting instructions on the ~~Internet~~internet or by telephone; or

•

voting by ballot at the annual meeting; although, please note that attendance at the annual meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.

You may change your proxy by using any one of these methods regardless of the method you previously used to submit your proxy.

If you are a beneficial owner of units, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker. You may also change your vote in person at the annual meeting if you obtain a legal proxy as described in the answer to the previous question.

All units for which proxies have been properly submitted and not revoked will be voted at the annual meeting.

What is “householding” and how does it affect me?

NextEra Energy Partners has adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, unitholders of record who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one package containing individual copies of the Notice for each unitholder of record at the address. This procedure will reduce the volume of duplicate materials unitholders receive, conserve natural resources and reduce NextEra Energy Partners’ postage costs. Unitholders who participate in householding and request a full set of proxy materials will receive separate proxy cards.

If you are a unitholder of record and are eligible for householding, but you and other unitholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple packages containing copies of the Notice or, if requested, proxy materials in paper form, or if you hold units in more than one account, and in either case you wish to receive only a single package for your household in the future, please contact Computershare in writing at Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078 or by calling 888-218-4392. You may contact Computershare at the same mailing address or telephone number if you wish to revoke your consent to future householding mailings.

What vote is required to approve the matters proposed?

•

Election ~~as directors~~ of the nominees specified in this proxy statement as directors——A nominee for director will be elected to the Board if the votes cast for such nominee’s election by unitholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter exceed the votes cast by such unitholders against such nominee’s election. If you are a beneficial owner, your broker is not permitted under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules to vote your units on the election of directors if your broker does not receive voting instructions from you. Without your voting instructions, a broker non-vote will occur. Since broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will have no legal effect on the election of directors. Abstentions also are ~~also~~ not considered votes cast and will have no legal effect on the election of directors.

For a discussion of certain voting limitations applicable to the election of directors, please see “What are the voting rights of the holders of the Company’s units?” on page 2.

•

Ratification of appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as NextEra Energy Partners’ independent registered public accounting firm for ~~2017~~2021——The ratification of appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as NextEra Energy Partners’ independent registered public accounting firm for ~~2017~~2021 will be approved if the votes cast for the proposal by unitholders present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the matter exceed the votes cast by such unitholders against such proposal (a “Majority Vote”). Since brokers are permitted under NYSE rules to vote your units on this proposal even if your broker does not receive voting instructions from you, there are not expected to be broker non-votes on this proposal. Abstentions are not considered votes cast and will have no legal effect on whether this proposal is approved. In determining the votes cast, the General 10% of Votes Cast Cutback, as described inunder “~~What are~~How does the ~~voting rights~~10% of votes cast cutback apply to the ~~holders~~other items of business at the ~~Company’s units?~~annual meeting?” beginning on page 2,3, will apply to unitholders other than the NextEra Energy Group.

•

~~Advisory approval~~Approval, by non-binding advisory vote, of the compensation of NextEra Energy Partners’ named executive ~~officers~~officers——A Majority Vote is required to approve this non-binding advisory proposal. If your broker does not receive voting instructions from you, your broker is not permitted under NYSE rules to vote your units on this proposal. Without your voting instructions, a broker non-vote will occur. Since broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will have no legal effect on whether this proposal is approved. Abstentions also are ~~also~~ not considered votes cast and will have no legal effect on whether this proposal is approved. The vote on this proposal is advisory and the result of the vote on this proposal will not be binding on the Company or the Board. However, the Board will consider the result of the vote when making future decisions regarding named executive officer (“NEO”) compensation. In determining the votes cast, the General 10% of Votes Cast Cutback, as described inunder “~~What are~~How does the ~~voting rights~~10% of votes cast cutback apply to the ~~holders~~other items of business at the ~~Company’s units?~~annual meeting?”” beginning on page 2,3, will apply to unitholders other than the NextEra Energy Group.

•

~~Advisory vote on the frequency of future unitholder non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of NextEra Energy Partners’ named executive officers~~—Generally, approval of any matter presented to unitholders requires a Majority Vote. However, because this vote is intended to indicate the preference of the Company’s unitholders for the frequency of a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of NextEra Energy Partners’ NEOs, the frequency option—1, 2 or 3 years—receiving the greatest number of votes will be considered the frequency preferred by the Company’s unitholders. If your broker does not receive voting instructions from you, your broker is not permitted under NYSE rules to vote your units on this proposal. Without your voting instructions, a broker non-vote will occur. Since broker non-votes are not votes cast, they will have no legal effect on the voting results for this proposal. Abstentions are also not considered votes cast and will have no legal effect on the voting results for this proposal. Although this vote is not binding on the Company or the Board, the Board will take into consideration the outcome of the vote in making a determination on the frequency of future advisory votes to approve NEO compensation. In determining the votes cast, the 10% Cutback, as described in “~~What are the voting rights of the holders of the Company’s units?” beginning on page 2, will apply to unitholders other than the NextEra Energy Group.~~

Proposal 3: Approval, by non-binding advisory vote, of the compensation of NextEra Energy Partners’ named executive officers ~~as disclosed in this proxy statement~~

The Company is asking unitholders to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, which is commonly called a “say-on-pay” vote. The advisory vote, which is required pursuant to section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as described inunder the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of this proxy statement (beginning on page ~~33)~~38). ~~While~~Although this vote is not binding, it will provide information to the Board regarding investor sentiment about the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Board will consider when making future determinations regarding named executive officer compensation. The Company currently plans to give unitholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on this matter every ~~three years,~~year, so that, following the vote on this proposal, the next opportunity will occur in connection with the Company’s ~~2020~~2022 annual meeting of unitholders.

~~The Company has paid no cash or other compensation to its named executive officers since its inception.~~ All of the named executive officers of the ~~company~~Company are also employees of NextEra Energy. NextEra Energy compensates these officers for the performance of their duties as employees of NextEra Energy, which include managing NextEra Energy Partners. NextEra Energy does not allocate this compensation between services for the Company and services for NextEra Energy and its affiliates. NextEra Energy Partners’ named executive officers do not receive any additional compensation for their services to NextEra Energy Partners’ business.

The Company asks unitholders to approve this proposal by approving the following non-binding resolution:

RESOLVED, that the unitholders of NextEra Energy Partners, LP approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as described in the NextEra Energy Partners, LP proxy statement for the ~~2017~~2021 annual meeting of unitholders, including the Compensation Discussion & Analysis ~~section, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative discussion.~~section.

Unless you specify otherwise in your voting instructions, your proxy will be voted FORapproval, by non-binding advisory vote, of the compensation of NextEra Energy Partners’ named executive officers.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL, BY NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE, OF THE COMPENSATION OF NEXTERA ENERGY PARTNERS’ ~~COMPENSATION OF ITS~~ NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

~~Proposal 4: Non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future unitholder non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of NextEra Energy Partners’ named executive officers~~

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules, the Company is asking unitholders to cast an advisory vote on the frequency with which unitholders would have an opportunity to provide an advisory “say-on-pay” vote on named executive officer compensation. Unitholders have the option of selecting a frequency of 1, 2 or 3 years, or abstaining from a vote on this proposal.

The Board is recommending a “say-on-pay” vote every three years, which provides the Board with sufficient time to thoughtfully evaluate the results of the most recent advisory vote on executive compensation, discuss the implications of the vote with the Company’s unitholders and develop and implement any changes to the Company’s executive compensation program that may be appropriate in light of the vote. A triennial vote will also allow for these changes to the executive compensation program to be in place long enough for unitholders to see and evaluate the effectiveness of these changes. A triennial approach will allow the Company to review evolving practices in the market to ensure the Company’s compensation programs reflect best practices.

Unitholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation of triennial “say-on-pay” votes. Rather, unitholders are being given an opportunity to express their preference for the frequency of “say-on-pay” votes. Unitholders may choose among the following four options when voting on this proposal:

~~(1)~~

~~a “say-on-pay” vote every 1 year;~~

~~(2)~~

~~a “say-on-pay” vote every 2 years;~~

~~(3)~~

~~a “say-on-pay” vote every 3 years; or~~

~~(4)~~

~~abstain from voting.~~

The frequency option—1, 2 or 3 years—receiving the greatest number of votes will be considered the frequency preferred by the Company’s unitholders. Although this vote is not binding on the Company or the Board, the Board will take into consideration the outcome of the vote in making a determination on the frequency with which proposals for non-binding advisory votes to approve named executive officer compensation will be included in the Company’s proxy statement. The Board may decide that it is in the best interests of unitholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation more or less frequently than the option preferred by unitholders.

~~Unless you specify otherwise in your voting instructions, your proxy will be voted for a frequency of every~~ ~~3 YEARS~~ ~~as the frequency of future unitholder non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of NextEra Energy Partners’ named executive officers.~~

~~THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR~~ ~~3 YEARS~~ ~~AS THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE UNITHOLDER NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION OF NEXTERA ENERGY PARTNERS’ NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS~~

The Company has adopted the NextEra Energy Securities Trading Policy as its own Securities Trading Policy (the "Trading Policy”). The Trading Policy prohibits hedging transactions with respect to securities of the Company. The Trading Policy provides in relevant part as follows: “Additional Prohibited Transactions. The Company considers it improper and inappropriate for any Company insider to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in the Company’s securities. It therefore is the Company’s policy that insiders may not engage in any of the following transactions: … Hedging Transactions. Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions with respect to the Company’s securities, such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps and collars, allow an insider to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the insider to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the insider may no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other shareholders. Therefore, these ~~filings and written representations from~~transactions are prohibited under this Policy….” The full text of the ~~directors and executive officers that no other reports were required of them, the Company believes that all required filings were timely made in 2016.~~Trading Policy is available at www.nexteraenergypartners.com.

Director Independence

The NYSE does not require a listed publicly traded limited partnership, such as the Company, to have a majority of independent directors on the board of directors. ~~The~~Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board conducts an annual review regarding the independence from the Company of each of its members and, in addition, assesses the independence of any new member at the time that the new member is considered for appointment to or nomination for election to the Board. The Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances and uses the criteria set forth in the NYSE corporate governance independence standards (the “NYSE standards”), which are the applicable standards under SEC rules, to assess director independence. These standards also are ~~also~~ set forth or referred to in the Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines, which is available on the Company’s website at www.nexteraenergypartners.com. ~~The~~In order to determine that a director is independent, the Board must affirmatively determine that athe director has no material relationship with ~~NextEra Energy Partners~~the Company (directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with ~~NextEra Energy Partners) in order to determine that~~ the director is independent. As set forth in the Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances in making independence determinations. In particular, whenCompany). When assessing the materiality of a director’s relationship (if any) with the Company, the Board considers materiality both from the standpoint of the director and from the standpoint of persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation. Material relationships for this purpose may include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships, among others.

The NYSE standards and Rule 10A-3 under the ~~Securities~~ Exchange Act ~~of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)~~ include an additional requirement that members of the audit committee may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company other than their compensation for service as a director.

Based on its review conducted in accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines and the NYSE standards, the Board determined that Susan D. Austin, Robert J. Byrne and Peter H. Kind, ~~and James N. Suciu,~~ constituting all 3three non-employee directors of NextEra Energy Partners, are independent under the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines and the NYSE standards (including ~~where applicable,~~ the separate Audit Committee standards) ~~and the Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines.~~.

Board Leadership Structure

As set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines, the Board believes that the decision as to who should serve as chairman and as chief executive officer, and whether the offices should be combined or separate, is properly the responsibility of the Board, to be exercised from time to time in appropriate consideration of the Company’s then-existing characteristics or circumstances. In view of the Company’s operating record, and the operational and financial opportunities and challenges faced by the Company, the Board’s judgment is that the functioning of the Board currently is best served by maintaining a structure of having one individual serve as both chairman and chief executive officer. The Board believes that having a single person acting in the capacities of chairman and chief executive officer promotes unified leadership and direction for the Board and executive management and allows for a single, clear focus for the chain of command to execute the Company’s strategic initiatives and business plans and to address its challenges.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Executive sessions of NextEra Energy Partners’ independent directors are regularly scheduled. The chairman of the Audit Committee chairs the Board executive sessions and thereafter provides feedback to the chairman of the Board. The Board believes that having regular Board executive sessions, three independent directors and the corporate governance structures and processes described in this proxy statement allow the Board to maintain effective oversight of management. Committee executive sessions are chaired by the committee chairs, all of whom are independent directors. The Board does not have a lead director.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Although it is the job of management to assess and manage the Company’s risks, the Board and its Audit Committee (each where applicable) discuss the guidelines and policies that govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken and evaluate reports from various functions with the management team on risk assessment and management. The Board interfaces regularly with management and receives periodic reports that include updates on financial, legal and other risk management matters. The Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee also reviews and assesses the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and its independent auditors. The Board receives regular reports from the Audit Committee.

Director Meetings and Attendance

The Board and its committees meet on a regular schedule and also hold special meetings from time to time. The Board ~~and its committees were formed~~met four times in ~~August 2017, and therefore did not meet in 2016.~~2020. Each director attended ~~at least 75%~~100% of the ~~total number of~~ Board meetings and meetings of the committees on which he or she served during ~~the period of such director’s committee service.~~2020.

The Company currently does not have a policy with regard to director attendance at the annual meeting of unitholders. All seven directors attended the 2020 annual meeting of unitholders.

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

Board Committees

The standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee and the Conflicts Committee. Each committee regularly reports its activities and actions to the full Board, generally at the next Board meeting following the committee meeting. Each of the committees operates under a charter approved by the Board and the Audit Committee conducts an annual evaluation of its performance. The charter of the Audit Committee is required to comply with the NYSE corporate governance requirements. There are no NYSE requirements for the charter of the Conflicts Committee. The current membership and functions of the committees are described below.

Compensation Committee

Because the Company is a limited partnership, it is not required by the rules of the NYSE to have a compensation committee. ~~Additionally, the Company’s~~NextEra Energy Partners named executive officers do not receive any additional compensation ~~from the Company. If any~~for their services to NextEra Energy Partners’ business. Any compensation is to be paid to the Company’s executive officers ~~the compensation would be~~is reviewed and approved by the Board because it performs the functions of a compensation committee when such committee is needed.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

As discussed above, the Company does not have a compensation committee. ~~If any~~Any compensation is to be paid to the Company’s executive officers ~~the compensation would be~~is reviewed and approved by the Board because it performs the functions of a compensation committee when such committee is needed. During the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2020, none of the directors or executive officers ~~of the Board of our general partner~~ served as a member of a compensation committee of another entity that has, or has had, an executive officer who served as a member of the Board ~~of our general partner~~ during ~~2016.~~2020. During the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2020, the following officers of NextEra Energy served on the ~~Board of our general partner:~~Board: Mrs. Kujawa and Messrs. Robo, Hickson ~~Ketchum, Pimentel~~ and ~~Sieving.~~Ketchum.

Nominating Committee

Because the Company is a limited partnership, it is not required by the rules of the NYSE to have a nominating committee. All functions of a nominating committee are performed by the Board as a whole, including consideration of director nominees.

AUDIT-RELATED MATTERS

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee submits the following report for ~~2016:~~2020:

In accordance with the written Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) assists the Board of Directors (“Board”) in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company. The Audit Committee meets and discusses, among other things, the interim financial information contained in each quarterly earnings announcement with the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer and the independent registered public accounting firm prior to public release.

As specified in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These are the responsibilities of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and management. In discharging the duties of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee has relied on (1) management’s representations to us that the financial statements prepared by management have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and (2) the report of the independent registered public accounting firm with respect to such financial statements.

~~For 2016, the audit committee of our general partner (the “Prior Committee”), and not the~~The Audit ~~Committee, completed the following items as the current Audit Committee was formed in August 2017:~~

~~The Prior~~ Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm all communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including ~~those~~the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” and discussed and reviewed the results of the firm’s audit of the Company’s financial statements. The ~~Prior~~Audit Committee also discussed the results of the internal audit examinations.

The ~~Prior~~Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the ~~Prior~~Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with them their independence. The ~~Prior~~Audit Committee also reviewed any relationships that may affect the objectivity and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and satisfied itself as to the firm’s independence and discussed with management, the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and the internal audit function’s organization, responsibilities, resources and staffing. The ~~Prior~~Audit Committee reviewed with both the independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditors their audit plans, audit scope and identification of audit risks.

The ~~Prior~~Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2020 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management has the responsibility for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the independent registered public accounting firm has the responsibility for the audit of those statements.

Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the ~~Prior~~Audit Committee recommended to the ~~directors of our general partner~~Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2020, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, and in accordance with its audit committee charter, the ~~Prior~~Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm management’s internal control report, management’s assessment of the internal control structure and procedures of the Company for financial reporting and the independent registered public accounting firm’s opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, all as required to be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2020.

Any ~~audit or audit-related~~permitted service for which the fee is expected to exceed $250,000, or that involves a service not listed on the pre-approval list, must be specifically approved by the Audit Committee prior to commencement of such service. ~~In addition, the Audit Committee approves all services other than audit and audit-related services performed by Deloitte & Touche in advance of the commencement of such work.~~ The Audit Committee has delegated to the chair of the committee the right to approve audit, audit-related, tax and other services, within certain limitations, between meetings of the audit committee, provided any such decision is presented to the ~~audit committee~~Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

~~The Company has paid no cash or other compensation to its executive officers since its inception.~~ All of the executive officers of the Company also are ~~also~~ employees of NextEra Energy. NextEra Energy compensates these officers for the performance of their duties as employees of NextEra Energy, which include managing ~~NextEra Energy Partners.~~the Company. NextEra Energy does not allocate this compensation between services for the Company and services for NextEra Energy and its affiliates. Affiliates of NextEra Energy provide the Company various general and administrative services, such as technical, commercial, regulatory, financial, accounting, treasury, tax and legal staffing, and related support services, pursuant to a Management Services Agreement, for which the Company pays a management services fee. ~~Accordingly, the compensation tables are not included in this proxy statement.~~

The Named Executive Officers for the year ended December 31, ~~2016, who were then officers of our general partner,~~2020 are James L. Robo (chief executive officer) and ~~John W. Ketchum~~Rebecca J. Kujawa (chief financial officer). The ~~NEOs became officers of the Company in August 2017. The NEOs do not receive any additional compensation for their services as officers of the Company as described above. The 2017~~2021 NextEra Energy proxy statement ~~includes~~will include disclosure of the compensation of these officers, who also serve as executive officers of NextEra Energy, received from NextEra Energy for the performance of their duties as employees of NextEra Energy.

In February 2020, as part of NextEra Energy’s Compensation Committee’s setting of 2020 long-term performance-based incentive compensation for NextEra Energy’s executive officers, the Compensation Committee expressed its preference that a portion of the long-term performance-based incentive compensation to be awarded to executive officers who also are officers of the Company be granted in the form of performance-based restricted common units of the Company (“NEP Awards”). The NextEra Energy Compensation Committee concluded that the proposed NEP Awards would further align the incentive compensation of these executive officers to activities that promote the growth of long-term value for shareholders of NextEra Energy. After considering this and other factors, in February 2020, the Board approved grants of NEP Awards to those executive officers of NextEra Energy who also are officers of the Company, as well as to other officers and employees of NextEra Energy or its affiliates who are responsible for significant Company activities.

The NEP Awards received by executive officers did not increase the executive officers’ overall incentive compensation opportunity, but instead replaced on a dollar-for-dollar basis approximately 7% of the aggregate grant date value of the portion of their long-term performance-based awards in 2020 that otherwise would have been issued in the form of performance-based restricted stock of NextEra Energy. The performance objective for NEP Awards is adjusted EBITDA of $400 million. Therefore, the NEP Awards granted in 2020, which would otherwise vest ratably in 2021, 2022 and 2023, will not vest unless and until the Board certifies that the Company’s adjusted EBITDA for each of 2021, 2022 and 2023 equals or exceeds $400 million.

The NEP Awards were made pursuant to the NextEra Energy Partners, LP 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2014 Long Term Incentive Plan”). The Company will be reimbursed by NextEra Energy for the grant date fair value of all NEP Awards granted to employees and officers of NextEra Energy or its affiliates.

Compensation Committee Report

The Board ~~of NextEra Energy Partners~~ does not have a compensation committee. The Board, ~~of NextEra Energy Partners,~~ acting in lieu of a compensation committee, has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion & Analysis with management. Based on this review and discussion, the Board ~~of NextEra Energy Partners~~ recommended that the Compensation Discussion & Analysis set forth above be included in the Company’s proxy statement for the ~~2017~~2021 annual meeting of unitholders.
