  10. The settlement approved in December provides a four-year window for productivity improvements FPL Efficiency Opportunities • Identified several initiatives with significant O&M cost savings in the following areas: – Nuclear operations – Transmission and distribution – Staff functions • Focused on identifying additional productivity improvements to be achieved through 2016 Every dollar of O&M savings creates opportunities to invest capital in projects that benefit customers 25

  11. FPL has identified potential incremental capital expenditures over the next four years in addition to its “baseline” case Incremental Capital Expenditures Through 2016 • Incremental storm hardening • Infrastructure / reliability investment • Generation upgrades ~ $4 B to $5 B in addition to ~$9 B • Natural gas pipeline in baseline case • Vero Beach acquisition and other Florida wholesale opportunities • Solar investment All investments must represent a win-win for shareholders and customers 26

  49. The 2012 storm season highlighted and reinforced FPL’s need for maintaining hurricane resistance initiative Incremental Storm Hardening Investment • Between 2006 and 2012, FPL invested almost $500 MM in capital for storm hardening – The investment reflects FPL’s commitment to harden its electric infrastructure and improve performance in future storms • FPL’s review of its infrastructure following the 2012 hurricane season showed: – Hardened feeders experienced half the failure rate of feeders that have not been hardened – No pole damage on hardened feeders • In addition, the on-going reliability of hardened feeders is 37% better than feeders that have not been hardened 64

FPL is identifying incremental storm hardening opportunities Incremental Storm Hardening Investment (continued) • FPL plans to continue investing in strengthening the grid against storms and help keep everyday reliability high – An incremental 400 to 600 feeders may be hardened through this program – Working currently to refine prioritization to maximize customer benefits • Key customer benefits include: – Improvements in FPL’s restoration time after a storm – Lower failure rates after a storm – Better on-going reliability performance Accelerating FPL’s investment in hardening feeders will improve storm resiliency and reduce risk 65

  51. Capital investments in infrastructure and reliability will have significant customer benefits Infrastructure and Reliability Investments Potential Impact • FPL will continue to invest of Deploying AFS in the grid to improve (Service Unavailability) customer reliability Minutes 90 • One example: Automated Good Feeder Switches (AFS) 80 – AFS enables network sectionalization and 70 reduction in outages Actual Projected – Incremental deployment of AFS is estimated to deliver 60 up to 8 minutes of SAIDI benefits over 5 years 50 FPL is taking the next step to deploy the smart grid throughout our service territory 66

  52. Achieving improved environmental standards could require replacement of FPL’s fleet of existing gas turbine peakers Generation Upgrades • Original peakers were placed in- service in the early 1970s with heat rates of 17,000 to over 19,000 Btu/kWh • Achieving improved environmental standards could require replacement of FPL’s fleet of existing gas turbine peakers • Current options being evaluated Peaker Upgrade include replacing FPL’s peakers Sites with more efficient advanced combustion turbines (CTs) at Fort Myers and Lauderdale Discussions with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection will ultimately determine the extent of compliance obligations 67

  53. FPL has an opportunity to invest in a new natural gas pipeline to meet future gas requirements while increasing the reliability and diversity of FPL’s gas transportation portfolio Natural Gas Pipeline Investment • FPL’s current request for proposal includes a two- Butler, AL segment approach for New Third building a new pipeline Pipeline (1 st Segment) – The first segment extends from Alabama to Central Florida Central – The second segment extends Florida Hub from Central Florida to Martin Existing Florida 2 nd Gas Transmission Segment • Pipeline FPL plans to offer a self-build proposal on the downstream Martin segment, likely as a FERC- Existing Gulfstream regulated affiliate Pipeline • NextEra Energy, Inc. may also invest in the upstream portion to ensure timely construction 68

  54. FPL’s low rates, high reliability and excellent customer service have created opportunities to potentially serve others within the state Florida’s Electric Utility Market • Florida’s electric utility market is comprised of three main segments dominated by five investor-owned utilities, representing over 75% of the state’s generation • Florida has 34 electric municipals and 16 electric cooperatives around the state that represent 21% of the market – Rates vary from 11% to 51% above FPL’s rates • Opportunities may exist to serve these customers either through wholesale sales or territory expansion Opportunities include geographic expansion through acquiring municipals and coops and wholesale sales 69

  55. FPL has the opportunity to expand its service territory through a potential acquisition of the Vero Beach municipal electric utility Vero Beach Electric Utility • Serves approximately 34,000 customers, primarily residential • Approximately 61% of customers are outside the city limits, primarily in Indian River County and Indian River Shores Vero Beach FPL Service Territory • Total winter peak demand of FPL Power Facilities 170 MW (1) The City of Vero Beach City Council recently voted to approve a purchase and sale agreement with FPL (1) Source: 2011 Statistics of the Florida Electric Utility Industry by the Florida Public Service Commission 70

  56. FPL’s electric rates have historically been lower than Vero Beach electric utility’s rates and the disparity is growing Vero Beach Utility vs. FPL Typical Bill (1) • With the potential $160 acquisition, Vero Beach (2) $137.89 $140 utility customers could benefit from FPL’s retail $120 (3) rate structure, without $99.91 1,000 harming FPL’s existing $100 kWh Typical retail customers $80 Monthly Bill $60 • Vero Beach customers would save about $23 MM $40 per year from FPL’s lower $20 bills $0 Vero Beach FPL Today Vero Beach residents are voting on the proposed acquisition (1) Based on 1,000 kWh monthly residential bill rates as of January 2013 (2) Calculated using a rate calculator provided by Vero Beach Finance Department for rates effective December 19, 2012 71 (3) Includes a 6% franchise fee paid to Vero Beach
