Item 1A. Risk Factors
81 rewritten, 16 added, 10 removed, 244 unchanged
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, operations, and rates and cost structures, including: [added: siting,] permitting, planning, construction and operation of electric generation, storage, transmission and distribution facilities and natural gas, oil and other fuel production, transportation, processing and storage facilities; acquisitions, disposals, depreciation and amortization of facilities and other assets; decommissioning costs and funding; service reliability; wholesale and retail competition; and commodities trading and derivatives transactions.
FPL operates as an electric utility and is subject to the jurisdiction of the FPSC over a wide range of business activities, including, among other items, the retail rates charged to its customers through base rates and cost recovery clauses, the terms and conditions of its services, procurement of electricity for its customers and fuel for its plant operations, issuances of securities, and aspects of the siting, [added: permitting,] planning, construction and operation of its [removed: generation plants and] [added: generation, storage,] transmission and distribution [removed: systems] [added: facilities] for the sale of electric energy.
The FPSC has the authority to disallow recovery by FPL of costs that it considers excessive or imprudently [removed: incurred, including those] incurred [removed: to transition to lower carbon emission technology,] and to determine the level of return that FPL is permitted to earn on invested capital.
The regulatory process, which may be adversely affected by the geopolitical, political, regulatory, operational and economic environment in Florida and elsewhere, limits or could otherwise adversely impact [added: NEE's and] FPL's earnings.
Certain other subsidiaries of [removed: NEE] [added: NEE, such as subsidiaries of NEET,] are utilities subject to the [added: ratemaking] jurisdiction of [removed: their regulators] [added: FERC, the PUCT or the OEB] and are subject to similar risks.
Any reductions or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support clean energy, including, but not limited to, tax laws, policies and incentives, RPS and feed-in-tariffs, or [added: changes in or] the imposition of additional taxes, tariffs, duties or other costs or assessments on clean energy or the equipment necessary to generate, store or deliver it, could result in, among other items, the lack of a satisfactory market for the development and/or financing of new clean energy projects, NEE and FPL abandoning the development of clean energy projects, [removed: a loss of investments][added: a]
[removed: in] [added: loss of investments in] clean energy projects and reduced project returns, any of which could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
NEE depends [removed: heavily] on government policies that support clean energy and enhance the economic feasibility of developing and operating clean energy projects in regions in which NEER and FPL operate or plan to develop and operate such facilities.
However, as a result of budgetary constraints, geopolitical factors, 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 clean energy facilities and, instead, consider [removed: actions] [added: or take actions, such as the OBBBA and related governmental actions,] that [added: make or] would make the laws and policies less conducive to the development and operation of such projects.
Any reductions or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support clean [removed: energy, such as PTCs] [added: energy] or [removed: ITCs,] [added: changes in] or the imposition of additional taxes, tariffs, duties or other costs or assessments on clean energy or the equipment necessary to generate, store or deliver it, [removed: such as policies in place that limit certain imports from China and other Southeast Asian countries,] could result in, among other items, [added: higher equipment costs, scarcity of equipment,] the lack of a satisfactory market for the development and/or financing of new clean energy projects, NEE and FPL abandoning the development of clean energy projects, a loss of investments in the projects and reduced project returns, any of which could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Changes in the nature of the regulation of NEE's and FPL's business through this type or other types of legal [removed: activity] [added: activity, such as the repeal, revocation or reversal of existing laws, regulations or actions,] could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
FPL has limited, but growing, competition in the Florida market for retail electricity customers and is not subject to [removed: a] [added: an] RPS.
Any changes in Florida law or regulation, whether through [removed: new] [added: new, modified, repealed] or [removed: modified] [added: overturned] legislation, regulation or executive action or through citizen-approved state constitutional ballot initiatives, which increase competition in the Florida retail electricity market, such as government incentives that would further facilitate the installation of solar generation facilities on residential or other [removed: rooftops,] [added: rooftops or] would permit third-party sales of [removed: electricity or would mandate the transition to renewable energy at FPL,] [added: electricity,] could have a material adverse effect on FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
FERC regulation of transmission and wholesale power transactions, including the ability of new energy infrastructure projects to [added: interconnect to the transmission grid and] sell the power they [removed: produce under power purchase agreements,] [added: produce,] evolves over time as a result of rulemaking proceedings and new legislative directives from Congress.
NEE cannot predict the impact of changing FERC rules or policies of the RTOs and ISOs, such as [added: existing or potential future] rules governing [added: economic dispatch,] generator [removed: interconnection procedures] and [added: load interconnection procedures,] transmission planning [removed: requirements and] [added: requirements,] cost allocation [removed: methodologies,] [added: methodologies and cost recovery policies,] 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 FPL or NEER will be able to respond adequately [removed: or sufficiently quickly] to such rules and developments, which may impact the ability, timeline and cost [removed: of interconnecting] [added: to interconnect] new or repowered energy projects to 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 expects the laws and [removed: regulation] [added: regulations] applicable to its business and the energy industry, including laws and regulations generally [added: supportive of clean energy project development, generally to be in a state of transition for the foreseeable future.]
[removed: Changes in the] structure of the industry or in such laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
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, [removed: climate change,] greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, hazardous wastes, marine, 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), [removed: safety] [added: safety, fire prevention] and RPS, that could, among other things, prevent or delay the development of [removed: power] [added: electric] generation, [removed: storage] [added: storage, transmission] and [removed: transmission,] [added: distribution facilities,] gas transportation, or other development 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 [added: and fire prevention] equipment, and otherwise increase costs, increase capital expenditures and limit or eliminate certain operations.
There can be no assurance that NEE or FPL would be able to completely recover any such costs or investments, which could have a material adverse effect on [removed: their] [added: its] business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
NEE's and FPL's operations and businesses are subject to extensive federal, state and local government regulation, which generally imposes significant and increasing compliance [removed: costs on their operations and businesses.][added: costs.]
[added: Additionally, any actual or] alleged compliance failures could result in significant costs and other potentially adverse effects of regulatory investigations, proceedings, settlements, decisions [removed: and claims, including, among other items, potentially significant monetary penalties.]
Changes in tax laws, guidance or policies, including but not limited [removed: to] [added: to,] changes in corporate income tax [removed: rates,] [added: rates and the qualifications for clean energy tax credits,] 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.
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, but not limited to, changes in corporate income tax rates, [removed: renewable] [added: clean] energy tax credits and transferability of [removed: renewable] [added: clean] energy tax credits, the issuance of guidance related to the qualification for [removed: renewable] [added: clean] energy tax credits and bonus 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 business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially [removed: adversely] affected due to adverse results of litigation.
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, storage, transmission and distribution facilities, natural gas and oil production and transportation facilities [removed: or] [added: and] other facilities on schedule or within budget.
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, storage, transmission and distribution facilities, natural gas and oil production and transportation facilities and other facilities on schedule and within budget have been, from time to time, and in the future may be, adversely affected by [added: timely availability of equipment and labor,] escalating costs for [removed: materials and] [added: materials,] labor and regulatory compliance, inability to [removed: obtain] [added: obtain, maintain] 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 partners, suppliers and other third parties, negative publicity, transmission interconnection issues, geopolitical factors, supply chain disruptions, inflation, rising interest rates and other factors.
For example, the ability of NEE and FPL to develop [removed: solar] [added: certain] generation and [removed: battery] storage facilities is dependent on the international supply chain for [removed: solar panels,] [added: generation equipment,] batteries and [added: other] associated equipment, and governmental or regulatory actions have caused [removed: minor, and could in the future cause material,]
[added: minor, and could in the future cause material,] disruptions in the ability of NEE and FPL to acquire [removed: solar panels] [added: certain generation equipment] and batteries on time and at acceptable costs.
NEE and FPL face risks related to project siting, [removed: financing,] construction, permitting, governmental approvals and the negotiation of project development agreements that may impede their development and operating activities.
NEE and FPL own, develop, construct, manage and operate electric generation, [removed: storage and] [added: storage,] transmission [added: and distribution] facilities and natural gas pipelines.
A key component of NEE's and FPL's growth is their ability to [added: site, permit,] construct and operate generation, storage, transmission [added: and distribution] facilities and natural gas pipelines to meet customer needs.
As part of these operations, NEE and FPL must periodically apply for licenses and [removed: permits] [added: permits, including those related to project siting,] from various local, state, federal and other regulatory authorities and abide by their respective conditions.
Should NEE or FPL be unsuccessful in obtaining [added: or maintaining] necessary licenses or permits on acceptable terms or resolving third-party challenges to such licenses or permits, should there be any delay in obtaining or renewing necessary licenses or permits or should regulatory authorities initiate any associated investigations or enforcement actions or impose related penalties or disallowances on NEE or FPL, NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected.
NEE's and FPL's electric generation, storage, transmission and distribution facilities, natural gas and oil production and transportation facilities and other facilities are subject to many operational [added: uncertainties and] risks.
Operational [added: uncertainties and] risks could result in, among other things, lost revenues due to prolonged outages, increased expenses due to monetary penalties or fines for compliance failures or legal claims, liability to third parties for property and personal injury damage or loss of life, unsatisfied customers, a failure to perform under applicable power sales agreements or other agreements and associated loss of revenues from terminated agreements or liability for liquidated damages under continuing agreements, and replacement equipment costs or an obligation to purchase or generate replacement power at higher prices.
Uncertainties and risks inherent in operating and maintaining NEE's and FPL's facilities [added: that could cause these results] include, but are not limited to:
- breakdown or [removed: failure, including, but not limited to, explosions, fires, leaks or other major events,] [added: failure] of equipment, transmission or distribution systems or [removed: pipelines;][added: pipelines whether as a result of explosions, fires, leaks, other events or otherwise;]
- [added: lack of] availability of replacement equipment;
- risks of property damage, human injury or loss of life from energized equipment, hazardous substances or explosions, fires, leaks or other events, [removed: especially] [added: including] where facilities are located near populated areas;
Changes in the
and claims, including, among other items, potentially significant monetary penalties.
Additionally, NEER is actively pursuing the restart of the Duane Arnold nuclear generation facility.
The restart is subject to certain regulatory approvals, including NRC safety and environmental reviews, as well as permits from relevant state and local agencies.
NEER has applied to the NRC to reinstate the operating license and to MISO for an interconnection agreement.
Failure to obtain the necessary approvals could result in the impairment of amounts capitalized.
Further, NEE could encounter difficulty in procuring or restoring specialized components which could impact the restart timeline.
NEE could incur costs greater than expected or encounter unforeseen issues.
The productivity increases and competitive advantages NEE and FPL plan to achieve through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies may not be realized and the use of and reliance on AI may present certain risks, both of which could materially adversely affect their business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
NEE and FPL use AI technologies in various aspects of their operations, including, without limitation, financial analysis, strategic planning, field work intelligence, work scheduling, grid optimization, energy forecasting, customer service and operations management.
The use of and reliance on AI may present certain risks such as, but not limited to, AI tools may malfunction, produce inaccurate or biased outputs, or behave unpredictably, and introduce NEE and FPL to additional cybersecurity threats and data privacy risks.
In addition, as NEE and FPL rely on third-party vendors for certain AI tools, platforms and collaborations, NEE and FPL could experience third-party vendor issues such as disruptions in vendor relationships, performance issues, cybersecurity threats or disputes over intellectual property rights.
Further, the regulatory environment governing AI is also evolving, and future legislation or agency rulemaking may impose new compliance obligations or restrict certain AI applications, increasing costs to comply with such requirements and failure to do so could result in regulatory enforcement, penalties or reputational harm.
While AI technologies offer the potential to enhance operational efficiency, accelerate growth and lower costs, these benefits may not be realized and the use of and reliance on AI may present certain risks, both of which could materially adversely affect NEE’s and FPL’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
lower returns, and could result in certain assets becoming impaired, which could materially adversely affect NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
and other commodities, which could materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The inability of NEE's subsidiaries, including, without limitation, NEECH and its subsidiaries, to access the capital
XPLR 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 XPLR OpCo.
Through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, NEE owns a limited partner interest in XPLR OpCo.
XPLR's inability to access capital on commercially reasonable terms when acquisitions, other growth opportunities or capital needs arise could have a material adverse effect on XPLR's ability to deliver its cash distributions to its common unitholders in the future, including NEE, and on the value of NEE’s limited partnership interest in XPLR OpCo.
In addition, XPLR's issuance of additional common units or other securities in connection with acquisitions or the conversion of outstanding securities convertible into XPLR common units could cause significant common unitholder dilution and reduce future cash distributions, if any, to its common unitholders, including NEE.

Net income attributable to NEE for [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] was [removed: $6.95] [added: $6.84] billion compared to [removed: $7.31] [added: $6.95] billion in [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
In [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] net income attributable to NEE decreased primarily due to lower results at [removed: NEER] [added: Corporate] and [removed: FPL,] [added: Other,] partly offset by higher results at [removed: Corporate] [added: FPL] and [removed: Other.][added: NEER.]
The comparison of the results of operations for the years ended December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] and [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] are included in Management's Discussion in NEE's and FPL's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
NEE's effective income tax rate for [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] was approximately [removed: 6%] [added: (18)%] and [removed: 14%,] [added: 6%,] respectively.
The rates for both years reflect the [added: composition of pretax income in 2025 and 2024 as well as the] impact of [removed: renewable] [added: clean] energy tax credits.
FPL’s net income for [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] was [removed: $4,543] [added: $5,012] million and [removed: $4,552] [added: $4,543] million, respectively, representing [removed: a decrease] [added: an increase] of [removed: $9] [added: $469] million.
The [removed: decrease] [added: increase] was primarily driven by [removed: the absence of the gain on sale of FPL's ownership interest in the FCG business in 2023 and a lower earned regulatory ROE in 2024, partly offset by] higher earnings from investments in plant in service and other property.
Such investments grew FPL's average rate base by approximately [removed: $6.1] [added: $5.5] billion in [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and reflect, among other things, solar generation additions and ongoing transmission and distribution additions.
[removed: In December 2024, the FPSC approved FPL's request to begin] [added: During 2025, FPL completed] a [added: twelve-month interim storm restoration] surcharge [removed: to recover] [added: that began in January 2025 for] eligible storm [added: restoration] costs and [removed: replenish] the [added: replenishment of the] storm reserve [removed: totaling] [added: of] approximately $1.2 [removed: billion for twelve months beginning in January 2025,] [added: billion,] related to Hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton which impacted FPL's service area in 2024.
The use of reserve amortization [removed: is] [added: was] permitted by the 2021 rate agreement.
In order to earn a targeted regulatory ROE, subject to limitations associated with the 2021 rate agreement, reserve amortization [removed: is] [added: was] 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 certain periods, reserve amortization [removed: is] [added: was] reversed so as not to exceed the targeted regulatory ROE.
The drivers of FPL's net income not reflected in the reserve amortization calculation typically [removed: include] [added: included] wholesale and transmission service revenues and expenses, cost recovery clause revenues and expenses, AFUDC – equity and revenue and costs not recoverable from retail customers.
In [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] FPL recorded reserve amortization of approximately [removed: $328] [added: $593] million and [removed: $227] [added: $328] million, respectively.
FPL's earned regulatory ROE for [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] was approximately [removed: 11.40%] [added: 11.70%] and [removed: 11.80%,] [added: 11.40%,] respectively.
See Note [removed: 1 – Rate Regulation.][added: 4.]
During [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] operating revenues [removed: decreased $1,346] [added: increased $1,243] million primarily [removed: related] [added: due] to [removed: lower] [added: higher] storm cost [removed: recovery revenues] [added: recovery, retail base] and [removed: lower fuel] [added: storm protection plan] cost recovery revenues, partly offset by [removed: an increase in retail base] [added: lower fuel cost recovery] revenues.
FPL’s retail base revenues for [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] reflect the 2021 rate agreement.
2025 Summary
NEER's results increased in 2025 primarily reflecting higher earnings from new investments, partly offset by higher financing costs.
Corporate and Other's results in 2025 decreased primarily related to higher interest expense due to unfavorable non-qualifying hedge activity compared to 2024 as well as higher average debt balances.
A number of legislative, executive and administrative activities occurred in 2025 that affect NEE and FPL including 1) the enactment of the OBBBA which, among other things, modified tax legislation affecting clean energy tax credits, 2) the issuance of a number of federal executive orders and presidential actions, 3) the imposition of tariffs on a variety of imports and 4) the issuance of guidance by various federal agencies.
A number of similar activities remain pending or are in various phases of implementation, such as certain Treasury Department rulemaking authorized by the OBBBA, trade investigations that may lead to additional tariffs or place limitations on imports of certain materials, ordered reviews of, or process or policy changes with respect to, federal permitting and approvals for wind and solar projects and proposals by regional transmission operators regarding the process for interconnecting new generation projects to certain regional transmission grids that have been approved by FERC.
There has been no material impact on NEE's or FPL's operations or financial performance as a result of these developments and NEE believes that its current pipeline of wind and solar facilities to be placed in service through 2030 will qualify for clean energy tax credits.
NEE will assess any further developments for potential impacts in future periods.
The increase was also due to a higher earned regulatory ROE in 2025.
The amount collected is subject to refund based on an FPSC prudence review.
In January 2026, the FPSC issued a final order approving a stipulation and settlement agreement between FPL and several intervenors in FPL's 2025 base rate proceeding.
In February 2026, certain intervenors filed a joint motion for reconsideration and a joint request for oral argument challenging the FPSC's final order.
See Note 1 – Rate Regulation – Base Rates Effective January 2026 through December 2029.
Fuel, purchased power and interchange expense decreased $310 million in 2025 primarily related to lower amortization of deferred fuel costs, partly offset by higher fuel prices as compared to the prior year.
| | | | 2025 | | | | | | 2024 | | | | | | | | |
FPL’s income taxes decreased $251 million during 2025 primarily related to higher clean energy tax credits as compared to the prior year.
NEER also owns, develops, constructs and operates regulated electric and gas transmission assets.
- net increases in revenues of $300 million from the customer supply business.
In 2025, the change in gains on disposal of businesses/assets – net is the result of lower disposal gains in the current year as compared to the prior year.
*Interest Expense*
NEER’s interest expense for 2025 increased $569 million primarily reflecting approximately $351 million of unfavorable impacts related to changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments as well as higher average debt balances driven by growth in the business.
*Income Taxes*
*Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests*
The change in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily reflects an increase in additional differential membership interests.

NEE is one of the largest electric power and energy infrastructure companies in North [removed: America and a leader in the renewable energy industry.][added: America.]
[removed: At] [added: As of] December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] NEE had approximately [removed: 72] [added: 80] gigawatts of net generation and storage capacity from a diverse portfolio of assets, primarily including natural gas, wind, solar and nuclear generation facilities and battery storage facilities.
FPL is the largest electric utility in [removed: the state of] Florida and [removed: one of] the [removed: largest electric utilities in the] U.S. FPL’s strategic focus is centered on investing in generation, [added: storage,] transmission and distribution facilities to deliver on its value proposition of keeping customer bills [removed: as] low [removed: as possible] and delivering high reliability, outstanding customer service and energy from diverse generation sources for the benefit of its more than six million customer accounts.
[added: NEER is one of the largest energy infrastructure developers in the U.S.] NEER’s strategic focus is centered on the development, construction and operation of long-term contracted [removed: assets throughout the U.S. and Canada, primarily renewable] generation facilities, [added: including renewables, nuclear] and [removed: electric transmission facilities,] [added: natural gas,] as well as [removed: providing other energy solutions to its customers.][added: battery storage facilities.]
[removed: As described in more detail in the following sections,] NEE seeks to create value in its two principal businesses by meeting [removed: its customers'] [added: customer] needs more economically and [removed: more] reliably than its competitors.
NEE and its subsidiaries, with employees totaling approximately [removed: 16,800] [added: 17,400] as of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] continue to develop and implement enterprise-wide [removed: initiatives] [added: initiatives, including deploying advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and proprietary tools,] focused on improving [removed: productivity, process effectiveness] [added: processes, lowering costs] and [removed: quality.][added: driving growth.]
][added: Final.jpg](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/753308/000075330826000015/nee-20251231_g3.jpg)]
FPL is a rate-regulated electric utility engaged primarily in the generation, [added: storage,] transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy in Florida.
FPL is the largest electric utility in [removed: the state of] Florida and [removed: one of] the [removed: largest electric utilities in the] U.S. [removed: At] [added: As of] December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] FPL had [removed: 35,052] [added: 35,963] MW of net generating capacity, approximately [removed: 91,000] [added: 93,000] circuit miles of transmission and distribution lines and [removed: 921] [added: 932] substations.
FPL provides [removed: service to its] electric [removed: customers] [added: service] through an integrated transmission and distribution system that links its generation facilities to its customers.
The following map shows FPL's service areas and plant locations as of February [removed: 14, 2025,] [added: 13, 2026,] which cover most of the east and lower west coasts of Florida and are in ten counties throughout northwest Florida (see FPL Sources of Generation below).
[removed: ][added: ]
| [removed: ] [added: ] | | | [removed: ] [added: ] | | |
FPL seeks to maintain [removed: rates that are as] low [removed: as possible] [added: rates] for its customers, while continuing to deliver reliable service.
Since rates are largely cost-based, maintaining low rates requires a strategy focused on developing and maintaining a low-cost position, including the implementation of ideas generated from cost savings [removed: initiatives.][added: initiatives and the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence.]
[removed: At] [added: As of] December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] FPL held 226 franchise agreements with various municipalities and counties in Florida with varying expiration dates through [removed: 2054.][added: 2055.]
[removed: At] [added: As of] December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] FPL also provided service to customers in 10 other municipalities and to 27 unincorporated areas within its service area without franchise [removed: agreements] [added: agreements,] pursuant to the general obligation to serve as a public utility.
Because any customer may elect to provide [removed: their] [added: its] own electric services, FPL effectively must compete for an individual customer's business.
Changing technology (particularly [added: the] increasing efficiency of solar power generation), tax incentives, economic conditions, regulatory [removed: changes, increasing cost-competitiveness of rooftop solar and battery storage] [added: changes] and other factors could alter the favorable relative cost position that FPL currently enjoys; however, FPL seeks as a matter of strategy to ensure that it delivers superior [removed: value,] [added: value] in the form of [removed: customer bills as] low [removed: as possible,] [added: customer bills,] high reliability, outstanding customer service and energy from diverse generation sources.
In [removed: 2024, 2023] [added: 2025, 2024] and [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023, annual] operating revenues from wholesale and industrial electric customers combined represented approximately [removed: 5%,] 5% [removed: and 7%, respectively,] of FPL's total operating revenues.
[removed: At] [added: As of] December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] FPL's resources for serving load consisted of approximately [removed: 35,296] [added: 36,616] MW of net generating capacity, of which [removed: 35,052] [added: 36,372] MW were from FPL-owned facilities and 244 MW were available through PPAs.
FPL owned and operated 44 units with generating capacity of [removed: 24,297] [added: 24,314] MW that primarily use natural gas and [removed: 96] [added: 108] solar generation facilities with generating capacity totaling [removed: 7,038] [added: 7,932] MW.
In addition, FPL owned, or had undivided interests in, and operated four nuclear units with net generating capacity totaling 3,502 MW (see Nuclear Operations below) and had a joint ownership interest in a coal unit located in [removed: Georgia] [added: Georgia,] which is operated by the joint [removed: owner] [added: owner,] with a net generating capacity of 215 MW (see Note 7 – Jointly-Owned Electric Plants).
[removed: At] [added: As of] December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] FPL had [removed: 469] [added: 991] MW of battery storage capacity that delivers energy to the transmission system.
[removed: In 2024 and in January 2025, FPL continued to add new solar generation with cost recovery through base rates, through a Solar Base Rate Adjustment (SoBRA) and through] [added: - Expansion of] SolarTogether® (a voluntary community solar program that gives FPL electric customers an opportunity to participate directly in the expansion of solar energy where participants pay a fixed monthly subscription charge and receive credits on their related monthly customer [removed: bill).][added: bill) by constructing an additional 1,788 MW of solar generation from 2022 through 2025, such that the total capacity of SolarTogether® is 3,278 MW.]
FPL relies upon a mix of fuel sources for its generation facilities, the ability of some of its generation facilities to operate on both natural gas and low sulfur diesel, [added: the use of battery storage at certain generation facilities] and on purchased power to maintain the flexibility to achieve a more economical fuel mix in order to respond to market and industry developments.

[removed: At the time] [added: When] base rates are established, the allowed rate of return on rate base approximates the FPSC's determination of the utility's estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which includes its costs for outstanding debt and an allowed return on common equity.
NEER also builds and owns regulated electric and gas transmission assets, is a leading gas and power supplier, and delivers integrated energy and technology solutions to utilities and businesses across the U.S.
FPL also seeks to serve large-load customers, such as data centers, through the tariff established in the 2025 rate agreement (as defined in FPL Regulation – FPL Electric Rate Regulation – Base Rates – Base Rates Effective January 2026 through December 2029 below).
In 2025, FPL added new solar generation with capacity totaling 894 MW and battery storage capacity totaling 522 MW.
In January 2026, FPL placed 596 MW of solar generating capacity in service and expects to place an additional 298 MW of solar capacity and approximately 1,420 MW of additional battery storage capacity in service over the remainder of 2026.
In 2025, FPL received FERC approval for the acquisition of a 660 MW gas-fired peaking facility with dual fuel capability.
The acquisition is expected to close in 2027.
| certain solar facilities have approximately 582 MW of co-located batteries | | | | | |
FPL's Energy Marketing & Trading division (EMT) supports the operation of FPL's generation fleet by procuring and managing fuel supplies and related energy commodities, including renewable energy credits (RECs).
EMT sources natural gas, oil and low sulfur diesel from a diverse set of suppliers and geographic markets.
*Base Rates Effective January 2026 through December 2029* – In January 2026, the FPSC issued a final order approving a stipulation and settlement agreement between FPL and several intervenors in FPL's base rate proceeding (2025 rate agreement).
Key elements of the 2025 rate agreement, which became effective in January 2026 and continues through at least December 2029, include, among other things, the following:
◦$945 million beginning January 1, 2026; and
◦$705 million beginning January 1, 2027.
- In addition, FPL will receive, subject to conditions specified in the 2025 rate agreement, base rate increases associated with solar generation projects that enter service in 2027, 2028 and 2029 and battery storage projects that enter service in 2028 and 2029 through a Solar and Battery Base Rate Adjustment (SoBRA) mechanism.
FPL is required to demonstrate either a specified economic or resource/reliability need for these projects.
- FPL's authorized regulatory capital structure reflects a 59.6% equity ratio, consistent with prior base rate cases.
- FPL is authorized to implement a rate stabilization mechanism (RSM) over the term of the 2025 rate agreement up to approximately $1.5 billion, after tax.
The RSM reserve includes certain deferred tax liabilities, the remaining balance from FPL’s existing reserve amortization mechanism as of January 1, 2026 and investment tax credit amortization for battery storage projects placed in service in 2025.
Subject to certain conditions, FPL could amortize the RSM reserve over the term of the 2025 rate agreement, provided that in any 12-month period of the 2025 rate agreement FPL would be required to amortize at least enough RSM reserve amount to maintain its minimum authorized regulatory ROE and also could not amortize any RSM reserve amount that would result in an earned regulatory ROE in excess of its maximum authorized regulatory ROE.
- FPL will implement tariffs for large-load customers with new or incremental load of 50 MW or greater and with a load factor of at least 85%.
In February 2026, the Office of Public Counsel, 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 filed a joint motion for reconsideration and a joint request for oral argument challenging the FPSC's final order approving the 2025 rate agreement.
FPL has opposed the motion and the request for oral argument.
- New retail base rates and charges which resulted in the following increases in annualized retail base revenues:
- Authorized regulatory ROE of 10.60%, with a range of 9.70% to 11.70%, which was increased in 2022 to be 10.80%, with a range of 9.80% to 11.80%, based on a provision associated with an increase in the U.S. Treasury rate.
- An interim storm cost recovery mechanism for storm restoration costs.
See Note 1 – Storm Funds, Storm Reserves and Storm Cost Recovery.
NEER, one of the largest energy infrastructure developers in the U.S., is comprised of NEE's competitive energy and regulated transmission businesses.
NEER also provides gas and power solutions through its customer supply business.
NEER's strategy focuses on providing cost-effective differentiated solutions to its customers, including emerging large-load opportunities, and on lowering costs and driving growth, including through the use of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and proprietary tools.
In addition, as of December 31, 2025, the NEER segment also has ownership interests in regulated natural gas pipelines primarily located in the U.S. NEER's regulated gas transmission business has approximately 3.8 Bcf per day gross pipeline capacity and consists of equity method investments totaling approximately $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2025.
They are also used to offer customized power and fuel and related risk management services to wholesale customers, including services provided under natural gas asset management agreements, as well as to hedge the production from NEER's generation assets that is not sold under long-term power supply agreements.
OPERATIONS
Energy Assets
In response to potential customer needs, NEER evaluates opportunities for expanding its portfolio of generation assets, including adding new facilities and repowering its current facilities.
*◦*includes the impact of approximately 1,604 MW of new generating capacity added in the U.S. in 2025, as well as ownership interests in assets sold to third parties totaling approximately 165 MW and includes repowering activity related to approximately 132 MW of wind generating capacity.
In December 2025, NEER submitted an application to the NRC to reinstate the operating license for Duane Arnold, with an estimated commercial operation date in 2029.
Additionally, NEER entered into a 25-year PPA for the full capacity of Duane Arnold, and agreements to increase its ownership interest to 100% of the plant, subject to regulatory approvals.
Natural Gas and Other Energy Assets
As of December 31, 2025, NEER’s portfolio included natural gas generation facilities with a net generating capacity of approximately 1,584 MW.
Battery Storage
NEER is the world's largest generator of renewable energy from the wind and sun, as well as a world leader in battery storage capacity.
FPL added new solar generation with capacity totaling 2,235 MW in 2024 and 894 MW in January 2025 (see FPL Regulation – FPL Electric Rate Regulation – Base Rates – Base Rates Effective January 2022 through December 2025 below).
See discussion of solar generation additions above.
License renewals are pending.
FPL's Energy Marketing & Trading division (EMT) buys and sells wholesale energy commodities, such as natural gas, low sulfur diesel, electricity and renewable energy credits (RECs) from certain FPL solar generation assets.
EMT procures natural gas and low sulfur diesel for FPL's use in power generation and sells excess natural gas, low sulfur diesel and electricity.
FPL's recovery through the SoBRA mechanism was limited to an installed cost cap of $1,250 per kW.
However, in the event the average 30-year U.S. Treasury rate was 2.49% or greater over a consecutive six-month period, FPL was authorized to increase the regulatory ROE to 10.80% with a range of 9.80% to 11.80%.
During August 2022, this provision was triggered and effective September 1, 2022, FPL's authorized regulatory ROE and ROE range were increased.
- FPL is authorized to expand SolarTogether® 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.
The order affirmed the FPSC's prior approval of the 2021 rate agreement and is intended to further document, as requested by the Florida Supreme Court, how the evidence presented led to and supports the FPSC's decision to approve FPL's 2021 rate agreement.
An April 2024 appeal of the order filed with the Florida Supreme Court by certain intervenors remains pending.
*FPL 2025 Base Rate Proceeding* – On December 30, 2024, FPL filed a formal notification with the FPSC indicating its intent to initiate a base rate proceeding by submitting a four-year rate plan that would begin in January 2026 replacing the 2021 rate agreement.
The notification states that, based on preliminary estimates, FPL expects to request a general base revenue requirement increase of approximately $1.55 billion effective January 2026 and a subsequent increase of approximately $930 million effective January 2027.
The plan is also expected to request authority for a Solar and Battery Base Rate Adjustment mechanism to recover, subject to FPSC review, the revenue requirements associated with building and operating additional solar and battery storage projects in 2028 and 2029.
In addition, FPL expects to propose an allowed regulatory ROE midpoint of 11.90% and to incorporate the continued application of FPL's longstanding equity ratio approved in prior base rate cases.
FPL expects to file its formal request to initiate a base rate proceeding on or around February 28, 2025.
NEER is the world's largest generator of renewable energy from the wind and sun based on 2024 MWh produced on a net generation basis, as well as a world leader in battery storage based on 2024 MW of net generating capacity.
NEER produces the majority of its energy from clean and renewable sources as described more fully below.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, as a result of selling ownership interests in certain natural gas and oil shale formations and in certain natural gas pipeline facilities (see Note 1 – Disposal of Businesses/Assets), NEER reassessed and changed its reporting unit structure to no longer report gas infrastructure as a separate reporting unit.

Base Rates Effective January 2026 through December 2029 – In January 2026, the FPSC issued a final order approving a stipulation and settlement agreement between FPL and several intervenors in FPL's base rate proceeding (2025 rate agreement).
Key elements of the 2025 rate agreement, which became effective in January 2026 and continues through at least December 2029, include, among other things, the following:
◦$945 million beginning January 1, 2026; and
◦$705 million beginning January 1, 2027.
- In addition, FPL will receive, subject to conditions specified in the 2025 rate agreement, base rate increases associated with solar generation projects that enter service in 2027, 2028 and 2029 and battery storage projects that enter service in 2028 and 2029 through a Solar and Battery Base Rate Adjustment (SoBRA) mechanism.
FPL is required to demonstrate either a specified economic or resource/reliability need for these projects.
- FPL's authorized regulatory capital structure reflects a 59.6% equity ratio, consistent with prior base rate cases.
- FPL is authorized to implement a rate stabilization mechanism (RSM) over the term of the 2025 rate agreement up to approximately $1.5 billion, after tax.
The RSM reserve includes certain deferred tax liabilities, the remaining balance from FPL’s existing reserve amortization mechanism as of January 1, 2026 and investment tax credit amortization for battery storage projects placed in service in 2025.
Subject to certain conditions, FPL could amortize the RSM reserve over the term of the 2025 rate agreement, provided that in any 12-month period of the 2025 rate agreement FPL would be required to amortize at least enough RSM reserve amount to maintain its minimum authorized regulatory ROE and also could not amortize any RSM reserve amount that would result in an earned regulatory ROE in excess of its maximum authorized regulatory ROE.
- FPL will implement tariffs for large-load customers with new or incremental load of 50 megawatts (MW) or greater and with a load factor of at least 85%.
In February 2026, the Office of Public Counsel, 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 filed a joint motion for reconsideration and a joint request for oral argument challenging the FPSC's final order approving the 2025 rate agreement.
FPL has opposed the motion and the request for oral argument.
- New retail base rates and charges which resulted in the following increases in annualized retail base revenues:
- Authorized regulatory ROE of 10.60%, with a range of 9.70% to 11.70%, which was increased in 2022 to be 10.80%, with a range of 9.80% to 11.80%, based on a provision associated with an increase in the U.S. Treasury rate.
- An interim storm cost recovery mechanism for storm restoration costs.
As part of the 2025 rate agreement, the FPSC approved new unified depreciation rates which became effective January 1, 2026.
Previously approved studies were effective from January 1, 2022 through December 2025 and resulted in an annual expense of $48 million which is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense in NEE's and FPL's consolidated statements of income.

(c)The majority of these regulatory assets are being amortized over a 12-month period that began in January 2025.
FPL's recovery through the SoBRA mechanism was limited to an installed cost cap of $1,250 per kilowatt.
However, in the event the average 30-year U.S. Treasury rate was 2.49% or greater over a consecutive six-month period, FPL was authorized to increase the regulatory ROE to 10.80% with a range of 9.80% to 11.80%.
During August 2022, this provision was triggered and effective September 1, 2022, FPL's authorized regulatory ROE and ROE range were increased.
The order affirmed the FPSC's prior approval of the 2021 rate agreement and is intended to further document, as requested by the Florida Supreme Court, how the evidence presented led to and supports the FPSC's decision to approve FPL's 2021 rate agreement.
In April 2024, Florida Rising, Inc., Environmental Confederation of Southwest Florida, Inc. and League of United Latin American Citizens of Florida (collectively, the appellants) submitted a notice of appeal to the Florida Supreme Court regarding the FPSC's supplemental final order.
The Florida Supreme Court issued an order granting FPL's motion to expedite the schedule.
Oral arguments were held in October 2024, and the appeal remains pending.
FPL 2025 Base Rate Proceeding – On December 30, 2024, FPL filed a formal notification with the FPSC indicating its intent to initiate a base rate proceeding by submitting a four-year rate plan that would begin in January 2026 replacing the 2021 rate agreement.
The notification states that, based on preliminary estimates, FPL expects to request a general base revenue requirement increase of approximately $1.55 billion effective January 2026 and a subsequent increase of approximately $930 million effective January 2027.
The plan is also expected to request authority for a Solar and Battery Base Rate Adjustment mechanism to recover, subject to FPSC review, the revenue requirements associated with building and operating additional solar and battery storage projects in 2028 and 2029.
In addition, FPL expects to propose an allowed regulatory ROE midpoint of 11.90% and to incorporate the continued application of FPL's longstanding equity ratio approved in prior base rate cases.
FPL expects to file its formal request to initiate a base rate proceeding on or around February 28, 2025.
In order to earn the targeted regulatory ROE in each reporting period subject to the conditions of the

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, NEE recorded approximately $52 million, $77 million and $113 million, respectively, of bad debt expense, including credit losses, which are included in O&M expenses in NEE’s consolidated statements of income.
*Contract Assets* – From time to time, NEER enters into agreements to build and sell renewable generation facilities and other assets to third parties.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, contract assets on NEE’s consolidated balance sheets primarily represent costs for such facilities and assets that are expected to be sold in less than 12 months.
