These risks, [added: whether or not expressly stated with respect to any particular risk factor,] as well as additional risks and uncertainties either not presently known or that are currently believed to not be material to the business, may materially adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of NEE and FPL and may cause actual results of NEE and FPL to differ substantially from those that NEE or FPL currently expects or seeks.
This extensive regulatory framework, portions of which are more specifically identified in the following risk factors, regulates, among other things and to varying degrees, NEE's and FPL's industry, businesses, [added: operations, and] rates and cost structures, [removed: operation and licensing of nuclear power facilities,] [added: including: permitting,] planning, construction and operation of electric generation, [added: storage,] transmission and distribution facilities and natural [removed: gas and oil production, natural] gas, oil and other fuel [added: production,] transportation, processing and storage [removed: facilities, acquisition, disposal,] [added: facilities; acquisitions, disposals,] depreciation and amortization of facilities and other [removed: assets,] [added: assets;] decommissioning costs and [removed: funding,] [added: funding;] service [removed: reliability,] [added: reliability;] wholesale and retail [removed: competition,] [added: competition;] and commodities trading and derivatives transactions.
[removed: Such an outcome] [added: and tools are not effective, this] could have a material adverse effect on [removed: FPL's] [added: NEE's] business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Any reductions or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support renewable [removed: energy] [added: energy, such as the IRA,] 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 policies in place [removed: to] [added: that] limit certain imports from China and other Southeast Asian countries, could result in, among other items, the lack of a satisfactory market for the development and/or financing of new renewable energy projects, NEE and FPL abandoning the development of renewable energy projects, a loss of investments in the projects and reduced project returns, any of which could have a material adverse effect on NEE and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
FPL has [removed: limited] [added: limited, but growing,] competition in the Florida market for retail electricity customers and is not subject to a RPS.
Any changes in Florida law or regulation, whether through new or modified legislation or regulation or through citizen-approved state constitutional ballot initiatives, which [removed: introduce] [added: increase] competition in the Florida retail electricity market, such as government incentives that [added: would further] facilitate the installation of solar generation facilities on residential or other [removed: rooftops at below cost or that are otherwise subsidized by non-participants,] [added: rooftops,] would permit third-party sales of electricity or would mandate the transition to renewable energy at FPL, could have a material adverse effect on FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
There can be no assurance that FPL [removed: will] [added: would] be able to respond adequately to such regulatory changes, which could have a material adverse effect on FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
NEER is subject to FERC rules related to transmission that are designed to facilitate competition in the wholesale market on practically a nationwide [removed: basis by providing greater certainty, flexibility and more choices to wholesale power customers.][added: basis.]
NEE cannot predict the impact of changing FERC rules or [added: policies of] the [added: RTOs and ISOs, such as rules governing generator interconnection procedures and transmission planning requirements and cost allocation methodologies, or the] effect of changes in levels of wholesale supply and demand, which are typically driven by factors beyond NEE's control.
There can be no assurance that NEER will be able to respond adequately or sufficiently quickly to such rules and developments, [added: which may impact the ability, timeline and cost of interconnecting new] or [added: repowered energy projects] to [added: the transmission system and the availability of transmission system capacity to deliver energy products to market, or to] any changes that reverse or restrict the competitive restructuring of the energy industry in those jurisdictions in which such restructuring has occurred.
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, [removed: avian] [added: avian, bat] 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 [added: 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]
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, stricter or more expansive application of existing environmental laws and regulations, and the addition of [removed: species] [added: species, such as additional bat species,] to the endangered species list.
If NextEra Energy Resources' subsidiary violates the terms of the probation, or fails to obtain eagle “take” permits under the BGEPA [added: or incidental take permits under the ESA] for certain of its wind facilities and additional eagles [added: or listed species, like cave bats,] perish in collisions with facility turbines, NextEra Energy Resources or its subsidiaries [removed: may] [added: could] face criminal prosecution under these laws.
Actual income taxes could vary significantly from estimated amounts due to the future impacts of, among other things, changes in tax laws, guidance or policies, including changes in corporate income tax rates, the [added: issuance of guidance related to the qualification for renewable energy tax credits, the] financial condition and results of operations of NEE and FPL, and the resolution of audit issues raised by taxing authorities.
NEE's and FPL's ability to proceed with projects under development and to complete construction of, and capital improvement projects for, their electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities, gas infrastructure facilities and other facilities on schedule and within budget have been, in limited instances, and in the future may be, adversely affected by escalating costs for materials and labor and regulatory compliance, inability to obtain or renew necessary licenses, rights-of-way, permits or other approvals on acceptable terms or on schedule, disputes involving contractors, labor organizations, land owners, governmental entities, environmental groups, Native American and aboriginal groups, lessors, joint venture [removed: partners] [added: partners, suppliers] and other third parties, negative publicity, transmission interconnection issues, geopolitical factors, supply chain disruptions, inflation, rising interest rates and other factors.
The operation and maintenance of NEE's and FPL's electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities, gas infrastructure [removed: facilities, retail gas distribution system in Florida] [added: facilities] 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 electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities, gas infrastructure [removed: facilities, retail gas distribution system in Florida] [added: facilities] and other facilities are subject to many operational risks.
- the impact of unusual or adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, including, but not limited to, hurricanes, tornadoes, extreme temperatures, icing events, [added: wildfires,] floods, [added: severe convective storms,] earthquakes and droughts;
NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be negatively affected by a lack of [removed: growth or] [added: growth,] slower growth [added: or a decline] in the number of customers or in customer usage.
Customer growth and customer usage are affected by a number of factors outside the control of NEE and FPL, such as mandated energy efficiency measures, demand side management requirements, [added: installation of distributed generation technologies] and economic and demographic conditions, such as population changes, job and income growth, housing starts, new business formation, inflation and the overall level of economic activity.
NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects can be materially adversely affected by weather [removed: conditions,] [added: conditions and related impacts,] including, but not limited to, the impact of severe weather.
In addition, severe weather and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, droughts, extreme temperatures, icing [removed: events] [added: events, wildfires, severe convective storms] and earthquakes, can be destructive and cause power [removed: outages] [added: outages, personal injury] and property damage, reduce revenue, affect the availability of fuel and water, and require NEE and FPL to incur additional costs, for example, to restore service and repair damaged facilities, to obtain replacement power, to access available financing [removed: sources and] [added: sources,] to obtain [removed: insurance.][added: insurance, to pay for any associated injuries and damages and to fund any associated legal matters and compliance penalties.]
NEE's and FPL's generation, [removed: transmission] [added: transmission, storage] and distribution facilities, [removed: fuel storage facilities,] information technology systems and other infrastructure facilities and systems could be direct targets of, or otherwise be materially adversely affected by, such activities.
Geopolitical factors, terrorist acts, cyberattacks or other similar events affecting NEE's and FPL's systems and facilities, or those of third parties on which NEE and FPL rely, could harm NEE's and FPL's [removed: business,] [added: businesses by,] for example, [removed: by] limiting their ability to generate, [removed: purchase] [added: purchase, store] or transmit power, natural gas or other energy-related commodities, [removed: by] limiting their ability to bill customers and collect and process payments, and [removed: by] delaying their development and construction of new generation, [removed: distribution] [added: distribution, storage] or transmission facilities or capital improvements to existing facilities.
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, including [removed: impacts of actual or perceived climate-related events, as well as the financial condition of insurers.]
If [removed: insurance coverage is not available] [added: NEE] or [removed: obtainable on acceptable terms,] [added: FPL cannot or does not obtain insurance coverage,] NEE or FPL may be required to pay costs associated with adverse future events.
The supply costs for these transactions may be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, events that may occur after such utilities have committed to supply power, such as weather conditions, [added: transmission constraints,] fluctuating prices [removed: for] [added: for, and locational disconnects in,] energy and ancillary services, and the ability of the distribution utilities' customers to elect to receive service from competing suppliers.
There can be significant volatility in market prices for fuel, electricity and renewable and other energy [removed: commodities.][added: commodities, both in general and across geographies.]
NEE's and FPL's [removed: business is] [added: businesses are] highly dependent on [removed: their] [added: NEE's and FPL's] ability to process and monitor, on a daily basis, a very large number of transactions, many of which are highly complex and cross numerous and diverse markets.
NEE's and FPL's operating systems and facilities may fail to operate properly or become disabled as a result of events that are either within, or wholly or partially outside [removed: of, their control, such as operator error, severe weather, geopolitical activities, terrorist activities or cyber incidents.]
Modifying existing information systems or implementing new or replacement information systems is costly and involves risks, including, but not limited to, integrating the [added: modified, new or replacement system with existing systems and processes, implementing associated changes in accounting procedures and controls, and ensuring that data conversion is accurate and consistent.]
NEE and FPL also face the risks of operational failure or capacity constraints [added: associated with the information systems] of third parties, including, but not limited to, those who provide power transmission and natural gas transportation services.
Personnel costs may also increase due to inflationary or competitive pressures on payroll and benefits costs and revised terms of collective bargaining [added: agreements with union employees.]
NEE is likely to encounter significant competition for acquisition opportunities that may become available as a result of the consolidation of the energy [removed: industry in general.][added: industry.]
The inability to operate any of NEE's or FPL's nuclear generation units through the end of their respective operating licenses [added: or planned license extensions] could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
If any of NEE's or FPL's nuclear generation facilities are not operated for any reason through the life of their respective operating [removed: licenses,] [added: licenses or planned license extensions,] NEE or FPL may be required to increase depreciation rates, incur impairment charges and accelerate future decommissioning expenditures, any of which could materially adversely affect their business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
NEE and FPL rely on access to capital and credit markets as significant sources of liquidity for capital [removed: requirements] [added: requirements, refinancing activities to support existing debt maturities] and other [removed: operations] requirements that are not satisfied by operating cash flows.
Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in those capital and credit markets, related to, among others, inflation, rising [added: or sustained higher] interest [removed: rates,] [added: rates and] geopolitical events, [removed: and the planned phase out of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate or the reform or replacement of other benchmark rates,] could increase NEE's and FPL's cost of capital and affect their ability to fund their liquidity and capital [removed: needs] [added: needs, to refinance existing indebtedness] and to meet their growth objectives.
If NEE or FPL is unable to access regularly the capital and credit markets on terms that are reasonable, it may have to delay raising capital, issue shorter-term securities and incur an unfavorable cost of capital, which, in turn, could adversely affect its ability to [added: maintain and] grow its business, could contribute to lower earnings and reduced financial flexibility, and could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.

impacts of actual or perceived climate-related events, as well as the financial condition of insurers.
For example, NEE, including FPL, does not have property insurance coverage for a substantial portion of its transmission and distribution property and natural gas pipeline assets.
Liquidity in energy markets can be described as the degree to which a product, such as electricity, gas or transmission rights, can be quickly bought or sold without significantly affecting its price and without incurring significant transaction costs.
It can be driven in part by the number of active market participants and is an important factor in NEE's ability to manage risks in its participation in these markets.

a time when NEE is in need of liquidity to meet its own financial obligations.
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.
The FPSC engages in an annual prudence review of FPL's use of derivative instruments in its risk management fuel procurement program and should it find any such use to be imprudent, the FPSC could deny cost recovery for such use by FPL.
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.
For example, FPL is not fully insured against hurricane-related losses, but could instead seek recovery of such uninsured losses from customers subject to approval by the FPSC, to the extent losses exceed restricted funds set aside to cover the cost of storm damage.
The liquidity of regional energy markets is an important factor in NEE's ability to manage risks in these operations.
Market liquidity is driven in part by the number of active market participants.

In November 2023, FPL sold its ownership interests in FCG.
During 2023, the FPSC approved FPL's request to begin recovering eligible storm costs of approximately $1.3 billion, primarily related to surcharges for Hurricanes Ian and Nicole which impacted FPL's service area in 2022.
FPL implemented an interim storm restoration charge in April 2023 for eligible storm restoration costs.
See Depreciation and Amortization Expense below.
On September 28, 2023, the Florida Supreme Court ruled on the appeal of the FPSC’s final order regarding FPL’s 2021 rate agreement and remanded the FPSC's order back to the FPSC.
See Note 1 – Base Rates Effective January 2022 through December 2025.

The increase in operating revenues in 2023 reflects higher storm cost recovery revenues of approximately $1,117 million primarily associated with Hurricanes Ian and Nicole, as discussed above.
| | | | 2023 | | | | | | 2022 | | | | | | | | |
Depreciation expense increased $1,094 million during 2023 primarily reflecting amortization of deferred storm costs expenses primarily associated with Hurricanes Ian and Nicole as discussed above, of approximately $1,114 million, partly offset by the impact of reserve amortization.
*Gains on Disposal of Businesses/Assets – net*
In 2023, gains on disposal of businesses/assets – net primarily relate to the sale of ownership interests in the FCG business.
See Note 1 – Disposal of Businesses/Assets and Sale of Noncontrolling Ownership Interests.
Interest expense increased $346 million primarily due to higher average interest rates and higher average debt balances.

2022 Summary
In December 2022, subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources sold (i) a 49% controlling ownership interest in three wind generation facilities and one solar plus battery facility with a total generating capacity of 1,437 MW and 65 MW of battery storage capacity, two of which facilities are currently under construction with expected in service dates in 2023, and (ii) their 100% ownership interest in three wind generation facilities with a total generating capacity of 347 MW to a NEP subsidiary.
In March 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of NEET acquired GridLiance Holdco, LP and GridLiance GP, LLC (GridLiance), which owns and operates three FERC-regulated transmission utilities across six states, five in the Midwest and Nevada.
See Note 6 – GridLiance.
On January 1, 2021, FPL and Gulf Power Company merged, with FPL as the surviving entity.
However, during 2021, FPL continued to be regulated as two separate ratemaking entities in the former service areas of FPL and Gulf Power Company.
Effective January 1, 2022, FPL became regulated as one electric ratemaking entity with new unified rates and tariffs, and also became one reportable segment of NEE.
See Item 1.
As a result, the previous segments known as the FPL segment and Gulf Power are no longer separate reportable segments.
NEE, including FPL, is monitoring solar supply chain disruptions from Southeast Asian locations and is taking steps intended to mitigate potential risks to their solar project development and construction activities.
To date, there has been no material impact on NEE's or FPL's operations or financial performance as a result of these activities.
During 2022, FPL's service area was impacted by Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole, and FPL incurred total recoverable storm restoration costs of approximately $1.3 billion.
In January 2023, FPL filed a petition with the FPSC requesting the recovery of eligible storm restoration costs over the storm reserve amount plus an amount to replenish the storm reserve through an interim surcharge.
Business – FPL – FPL Regulation – FPL Electric Rate Regulation – Base Rates – Base Rates Effective January 2022 through December 2025 and – Base Rates Effective January 2017 through December 2021 for additional information on these rate agreements.
In December 2021, the FPSC issued a final order approving the 2021 rate agreement which became effective in January 2022 and will remain in effect until at least December 2025, establishes FPL's allowed regulatory ROE, and allows for retail rate base increases in 2022 and 2023.
On February 8, 2023, the Florida Supreme Court heard oral argument on the appeal of the FPSC's final order regarding the 2021 rate agreement by Floridians Against Increased Rates, Inc. and, as a group, Florida Rising, Inc., Environmental Confederation of Southwest Florida, Inc. and League of United Latin American Citizens of Florida.
See Note 1 – Rate Regulation.
The increase in operating revenues in 2022 also reflects higher other revenues of approximately $566 million primarily related to increases in cost recovery clause revenue from storm protection plan and environmental, franchise fees and gross receipts taxes.
In January 2023, FPL filed with the FPSC to recover approximately $2.1 billion of under-recovered fuel costs incurred in 2022.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Depreciation expense increased $429 million during 2022 primarily reflecting the absence of reserve amortization recorded in 2021.
| Customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading(b) | | | 241 | | |
(b) Excludes allocation of interest expense and corporate general and administrative expenses.
Customer Supply and Proprietary Power and Gas Trading
In 2022, results from customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading increased primarily due to higher margins.
- higher revenues from existing clean energy assets of $114 million primarily due to higher wind revenues as compared to the prior year which was impacted by severe prolonged winter weather in Texas in February 2021 (February 2021 weather event),
The increases were primarily associated with growth across the NEER businesses, partly offset by lower bad debt expense associated with the February 2021 weather event (see Note 1 – Credit Losses).
*Tax Credits, Benefits and Expenses*
Reflected in income taxes in NEE's consolidated statements of income are PTCs totaling approximately $82 million and $90 million and ITCs totaling $126 million and $237 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively.

At December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] FPL held [removed: 225] [added: 226] franchise agreements with various municipalities and counties in Florida with varying expiration dates through [removed: 2052.][added: 2053.]
At December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] FPL also provided service to customers in [removed: 11] [added: 10] other municipalities and to 27 unincorporated areas within its service area without franchise agreements pursuant to the general obligation to serve as a public utility.
As a practical matter, few customers provide their own service at the present time since FPL's cost of service is lower than the cost of self-generation for [removed: the vast] [added: a significant] majority of customers.
In [removed: 2022, 2021] [added: 2023, 2022] and [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] operating revenues from wholesale and industrial electric customers combined represented approximately [removed: 7%, 6% and] 5%, [added: 7% and 6%,] respectively, of FPL's total operating revenues.
If a bidder has the most cost-effective alternative, meets other criteria such as financial viability and demonstrates adequate expertise and experience in building and/or operating generating capacity of the type proposed, the investor-owned electric utility would seek to negotiate a PPA with the selected bidder and request that the FPSC approve the [added: terms of the PPA and, if appropriate, provide the required authorization for the construction of the bidder's generating capacity.]
At December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] FPL's resources for serving load consisted of approximately [removed: 33,195] [added: 33,520] MW of net generating capacity, of which [removed: 32,066] [added: 33,276] MW were from FPL-owned facilities and [removed: 1,129] [added: 244] MW were available through PPAs.

In 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services proposed new rules that would add two bat species to the endangered species list.
If such rules are enacted, certain of NEER’s existing and new wind generation facilities would incur additional costs to comply with the proposed regulations.
In April 2022, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to implement an eagle management plan requiring, among other things, certain existing or in development wind sites to apply for eagle "take" permits under the BGEPA.
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 the NextEra Energy Resources subsidiary remains in compliance with its commitments under the agreement.
NextEra Energy Resources voluntarily undertakes adaptive management practices designed to avoid and minimize eagle impacts and 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.

New section this year
Risk Management and Strategy
Cybersecurity risk management is included in NEE’s, including FPL’s, overall risk management program.
NEE, including FPL, operates a cybersecurity program which, among other objectives, seeks to identify potential unauthorized occurrences on or conducted through the electronic information resources owned or used by NEE or FPL (information systems) that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity or availability of its information systems or any information residing on those systems (cybersecurity threats) as well as on its operations.
The cybersecurity program includes controls to reduce the risk and potential impact of a cybersecurity incident and to align its processes, controls and implemented technologies with industry standard frameworks and regulations.
In addition, outside experts assess NEE’s, including FPL’s, cybersecurity program capabilities, technology environment and security controls to regularly evaluate effectiveness.
NEE, including FPL, operates a cybersecurity operations center and has cyber threat intelligence capability to identify, monitor, detect and respond to cybersecurity threats which is led by a cybersecurity incident response team.
NEE, including FPL, uses these resources to identify cybersecurity threats and monitor for anomalies that may result in cybersecurity incidents on their systems, and monitors for impacts to external vendors or suppliers.
Assessment of an incident includes, but is not limited to, analysis of the urgency and operational or business impact of an incident and the status and effectiveness of incident defenses.
NEE, including FPL, invests in personnel and technologies with the objective of limiting the frequency and impact of cybersecurity incidents.
Following documented cybersecurity incident response procedures, the cybersecurity incident response team escalates information about cybersecurity incidents as appropriate to oversight committees charged with managing specific aspects of cybersecurity risk, including, among others, the Cybersecurity and Resiliency Committee, the Cybersecurity Governance Executive Committee and NEE's Board of Directors.
NEE, including FPL, conducts an annual internal cybersecurity drill with the participation from time to time of local, state and federal agencies to test its capability of dealing with a simulated cyber-attack.
NEE, including FPL, also participates in industry
[Table of Content](#i10450177354c45a485e190744fc15368_10)[s](#i10450177354c45a485e190744fc15368_10)
forums and trade groups, as well as in NERC activities to learn and apply these learnings to its cybersecurity policies and procedures.
NEE, including FPL, uses third parties to periodically assess the extent to which its cybersecurity risk management protocols align with the DOE’s Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model standard.
Certain functions within NEE, including FPL, are required to comply with certain regulatory standards that are designed to protect against cybersecurity incidents, including the NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection standards, as well as the NRC cybersecurity protection standards.
Further, NEE, including FPL, has a cybersecurity training program and a mock phishing program to educate and train employees on potential cybersecurity risks and on privacy and data protection.
Given geopolitical events, NEE, including FPL, continues to take steps to protect against cybersecurity threats to its critical infrastructure, including communications with its employees to ensure heightened awareness of increased cybersecurity threats worldwide.
The cybersecurity capabilities of third-party vendors providing system solutions to NEE or FPL or accessing NEE’s or FPL’s systems or data is evaluated as part of the new vendor establishment process.
NEE, including FPL, retains the right to audit vendors for cybersecurity of products and services.
Where applicable in NEE’s or FPL’s contracts with third-party vendors accessing its systems or data, standard data security terms and conditions are utilized and minimum amounts of insurance coverage based on the risk of exposure are required.
NEE, including FPL, operates U.S. critical infrastructure.
There have been cyberattacks and other physical attacks within the energy industry on energy infrastructure such as substations, gas pipelines and related assets in the past and there may be such attacks in the future.
Although there have been no cybersecurity incidents or threats with a material impact on NEE’s nor FPL’s business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, NEE's or FPL's information technology systems could fail or be breached, and such systems could be inoperable, causing NEE and FPL to be unable to fulfill critical business operations.
The disclosures herein should be reviewed with the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A.
Governance
The chief information officer, the vice president, IT infrastructure and cybersecurity and the chief information security officer are responsible for assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats and have careers that represent more than 75 years of combined experience related to the management and protection of technologies.
These individuals participate in or receive updates from not only the cybersecurity incident response team but also cybersecurity oversight committees, such as the Cybersecurity and Resiliency Committee comprised of various members of management, including the chief executive officers of FPL and NEER, the chief financial officer and the chief legal officer and the Cybersecurity Governance Executive Committee comprised of various members of management, including vice president of internal audit and executive director of emergency preparedness.
These committees are charged with governing cybersecurity, cyber risks and resilience activities as well as the cyber and physical security policies and programs for NEE and its subsidiaries.
NEE’s Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats and receives cybersecurity reports from NEE’s chief information officer and its vice president, IT infrastructure and cybersecurity.
The cybersecurity reports to the Board of Directors include various information, such as updates on the cybersecurity threat landscape, risk assessments, mitigation plans, including cyber defenses, notable incidents and a summary of the annual cyber drill results.
Significant active cybersecurity incidents and threats are communicated to the Board of Directors as they occur.

also requested a $1.0 billion mid-course correction to reduce the 2023 levelized fuel charges to customers that would go into effect beginning April 2023.
An FPSC decision is expected in March 2023.
The revised authorized regulatory ROE will have only a minimal impact to base rates.
The appellants argue that the FPSC lacked authority to approve certain aspects of FPL's 2021 rate agreement, that the final order fails to address certain contested issues and that certain of the FPSC's findings in its final order were not adequately analyzed or supported by evidence and have requested that the final order be reversed or remanded.
FPL believes that the FPSC’s decision should not be reversed or remanded by the Florida Supreme Court, because, among other things, the FPSC acted within its statutory authority in approving the 2021 rate agreement and the FPSC’s public-interest findings are supported by competent, substantial evidence in the record.
