Cautionary Statements And Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results

Any statements made herein about future operating and/or financial results and/or other future events are forward-looking statements under the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may include, for example, statements regarding anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. A discussion of factors that could cause actual results or events to vary is contained in the Appendix herein and in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This presentation refers to adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA, which are not financial measurements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Definitions of these measures and quantitative reconciliations of these measures to the closest GAAP financial measure are included in the attached Appendix. Prospective adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA amounts cannot be reconciled to net income because net income includes the mark-to-market effects of non-qualifying hedges and OTTI on certain investments, neither of which can be determined at this time. Neither adjusted earnings nor adjusted EBITDA represents a substitute for net income, as prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Capital expenditure dollars are categorized by the year in which the cash is expected to be spent and not when projects are expected to be placed in service. The figures exclude the capital investments spent prior to 2012

  • In 2012, Energy Resources plans

to add ~1,300 MW of new U.S. wind capacity, which are contracted or long-term hedged

  • We have a backlog of ~600 MW of

Projected equivalent gross margin for each category of asset set forth above represents such category’s projected (a) revenue less (b) fuel expense. Projected gross margin excludes the impact of non-qualifying hedges. Projected revenue as used in the calculations of projected equivalent gross margin represents the sum of projected (a) operating revenue plus a pre-tax allocation of (b) production tax credits, plus (c) investment tax credits and plus (d) convertible investment tax credits. Projected revenue excludes the impact of non-qualifying hedges. Projected equivalent gross margin may differ significantly from the operating income as calculated in accordance with GAAP

  • Adj. EPS

$5.05 - $5.65

Note: See Appendix for reconciliation of adjusted amounts to GAAP amounts NextEra Energy’s adjusted earnings expectations exclude the cumulative effect of adopting new accounting standards, the unrealized mark-to-market effect of non-qualifying hedges, and net other than temporary impairment losses on securities held in NextEra Energy Resources’ nuclear decommissioning funds, none of which can be determined at this time, and the after-tax charges resulting from the sale of the five natural gas-fired generating assets in two sale transactions in 2011. In addition, NextEra Energy’s adjusted earnings expectations assume, among other things: normal weather and operating conditions; no further significant decline in the national or the Florida economy; supportive commodity markets; public policy support for wind and solar development and construction; market demand; transmission expansion to support wind and solar development; access to capital at reasonable cost and terms; no acquisitions or divestitures; no adverse litigation decisions; and no changes to governmental tax policy or incentives. Please see the accompanying cautionary statements for a list of the risk factors that may affect future results. These earnings expectations should be read in conjunction with NextEra Energy’s current and periodic reports filed with the SEC, which may include other items that may affect future results. The adjusted earnings per share expectations are valid only as of June 18, 2012

2015 and Beyond

  • During the 1990s, a number of states adopted different

regulatory models to encourage competition among generators to serve retail customers

  • Status of electricity restructuring

– 28 states did not restructure and remain regulated – 7 states suspended deregulation for several reasons including increased cost and environmental and reliability concerns – 15 states and the District of Columbia have deregulated, and a monopoly system of electric utilities has been replaced with competing sellers(1)

While the majority of states use “cost-of-service” ratemaking, a number of states have gone through deregulation

In the deregulated markets, the price for the generation portion of customers’ bills is set through a competitive process

Commission (FERC)

– FERC has also encouraged the formation of regional transmission organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) to

experience in fields substantially related to the duties and functions of the Commission

– Commissioners are appointed by the Governor, and must also be confirmed by the Florida Senate

  • Has the responsibility to set rates that are fair, just and
  • reasonable. It is also required to set rates to allow

investors an opportunity to earn a reasonable return on their investment

  • Ensure consumers receive electricity in a safe, affordable,

and reliable manner Florida is regulated by a state agency known as the Florida Public Service Commission

  • Base rates – designed to recover the costs of

constructing, operating, and maintaining a utility system

– Most of FPL’s return is earned through base rates

  • Cost recovery clauses – recovery of certain costs and

provide a return on certain assets

– Fuel clause – facilitates the direct pass-through of fuel costs – Capacity clause Capacity payments to other utilities and generating companies for purchased power Pre-construction costs and carrying charges associated with nuclear uprates and exploring the option of new nuclear generation – Environmental clause FPL’s three solar generating facilities Implementation of energy conservation programs

FPL’s costs are recovered through base rates as well as through clause mechanisms

Base Rate Settlement Agreement

FPL is currently under a settlement agreement entered into in 2010, which will provide an acceptable balance and certainty for

  • ur customers and our shareholders though the end of 2012
  • Retail base rates will remain effectively frozen through the

end of 2012

  • Cost recovery for West County unit 3, which entered

service in 2011, is limited to the projected fuel savings for customers during the term of the agreement

  • Authorized retail regulatory ROE is a 200 basis points

range up to 11%

  • FPL will utilize the amortization of surplus depreciation to

maintain retail regulatory ROE between the 9% and 11% thresholds, subject to certain limits

U.S. Federal Tax Incentives for Renewable Generation

  • Production Tax Credit (PTC)

– Currently $22 per MWh for the first ten years of a wind energy facility’s operation – Expires at the end of 2012 Discussions for extension options are currently in process

  • Convertible Investment Tax Credit (CITC or cash grant)

– Upfront cash payment of 30% of eligible capital costs associated with building wind or solar generation facilities Year 1 earnings impact of ~5.5% of capital costs – Wind generation credit expires at the end of 2012 – Solar generation credit expires at the end of 2016

  • NextEra Energy’s 2014 earnings expectations assume no

new U.S. wind beyond the expiration of Federal tax incentives at the end of 2012

– Any extension would present upside opportunity

U.S. Federal tax incentives currently expire at the end of 2012 for wind generation and at the end of 2016 for solar generation
