FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NextEra Energy reports second-quarter 2021 financial results

• NextEra Energy delivers strong financial and operational results
• FPL's continued investments in the business advance its customer value proposition, with residential customer bills well below the national average and the addition of 373 megawatts of incremental solar online, surpassing 40% completion of its "30-by-30" plan

JUNO BEACH, Fla. - NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) today reported 2021 second-quarter net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $256 million, or $0.13 per share, compared to $1,275 million, or $0.65 per share, for the second quarter of 2020. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy's 2021 second-quarter earnings were $1,395 million, or $0.71 per share, compared to $1,286 million, or $0.65 per share, in the second quarter of 2020. All share-based data has been adjusted to reflect NextEra Energy's Oct. 26, 2020, four-for-one stock split.

Adjusted earnings for these periods exclude the effects of non-qualifying hedges; NextEra Energy Partners, LP net investment gains; gain on disposal of a business; differential membership interests- related; and change in unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear decommissioning funds and other than temporary impairments (OTTI).

NextEra Energy's management uses adjusted earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, analysis of performance, reporting of results to the board of directors and as an input in determining performance-based compensation under the company's employee incentive compensation plans. NextEra Energy also uses earnings expressed in this fashion when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. NextEra Energy's management believes that adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of NextEra Energy's fundamental earnings power. A reconciliation of historical adjusted earnings to net income attributable to

NextEra Energy, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is included in the attachments to this news release.

Effective Jan. 1, 2021, Gulf Power legally merged into Florida Power & Light Company. Gulf Power will continue as a separate reporting segment of Florida Power & Light and NextEra Energy through 2021, serving its existing customers under separate retail rates. "FPL" refers to Florida Power & Light, excluding Gulf Power, unless otherwise noted or when using the term "combined."

"NextEra Energy delivered strong second-quarter results and remains well-positioned to meet our 2021 and longer-term growth expectations," said Jim Robo, chairman and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy. "We grew adjusted earnings per share by more than 9% year-over-year, reflecting continued

strong financial and operational performance across all of the businesses. FPL continues to focus on delivering an outstanding value proposition of low bills, high reliability, outstanding customer service and clean energy solutions for our customers. During the quarter, FPL surpassed 40% completion of its groundbreaking '30-by-30' plan. FPL expects to have installed more than 15 million panels by early 2022, which would put us more than 50% of the way toward completing our '30-by-30' plan in just over three years since we initially announced the initiative. For the second quarter, NextEra Energy Resources continued to capitalize on the terrific market opportunity for low-cost renewables and storage and added approximately 1,840 megawatts to its backlog since the release of our first-quarter financial results in April. We remain as enthusiastic as ever about our long-term growth prospects, and we will be disappointed if we are not able to deliver financial results at or near the top end of our adjusted earnings per share expectations ranges in 2021, 2022 and 2023, while at the same time maintaining our strong credit ratings and, most importantly, continuing to reliably deliver for our customers. We continue to be intensely focused on execution and believe NextEra Energy remains uniquely positioned to drive long- term shareholder value."

FPL

FPL reported second-quarter 2021 net income of $819 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to $749 million, or $0.38 per share, for the prior-year quarter. FPL, including Gulf Power, serves more than 5.6 million customer accounts supporting more than 11 million residents across Florida and is the largest rate-regulated electric utility in the U.S. as measured by retail electricity produced and sold.

FPL's growth over the prior-year comparable quarter was primarily driven by continued investment in the business. FPL's capital expenditures were approximately $1.6 billion for the second quarter of 2021 and full-year capital investments are expected to be between $6.6 billion and $6.8 billion. Regulatory capital employed increased by approximately 10.7% over the same quarter last year. During the second quarter of 2021, FPL's average number of customers increased by approximately 78,400 from the prior-year comparable quarter.

FPL's major capital initiatives remain on track, and FPL's focus continues to be on identifying smart capital investments to lower costs, improve reliability and provide clean energy solutions for the benefit of its customers. In June, FPL demolished its last coal-fired plant in Florida, with plans to replace it with more clean, emissions-free solar energy facilities. During the quarter, FPL also successfully commissioned approximately 373 megawatts (MW) of new solar, including the FPL Discovery Solar Energy Center at Kennedy Space Center. With these new additions, FPL surpassed 40% completion of its groundbreaking "30-by-30" plan to install 30 million solar panels by 2030. In addition, FPL recently began installing the first components of the world's largest integrated solar-powered battery system, the 409-MW FPL Manatee Energy Storage Center, which is expected to begin serving customers later this year.

As announced in March, Florida Power & Light has initiated a comprehensive request for new base rates that would be phased in over four years, beginning in 2022. The proposed four-year base rate plan has been designed to support continued investments in long-term infrastructure and advanced technology, which improves reliability and helps keep customer bills low. Today, FPL's typical residential customer bills remain well below the national average and the lowest among the top 20 investor-owned utilities in the nation. With the proposed base rate adjustments and current projections for fuel and other costs, FPL's typical residential bill is expected to be approximately 20% below the projected national average and typical Gulf Power residential bills are projected to decrease approximately 1% over the four-year rate plan.

Earlier this month, FPL responded to Tropical Storm Elsa, marking the earliest time that a fifth named storm has formed in the Atlantic Basin. With a restoration workforce of approximately 7,000 employees and contractors, FPL safely and quickly restored power to nearly 100,000 customers who were impacted by Elsa as the hardening and automation investments that FPL has made since 2006 to build a stronger,

smarter and more storm-resilient energy grid continue to benefit customers. FPL remains prepared in advance of what is forecasted to be another active hurricane season in 2021.

Gulf Power

Gulf Power reported second-quarter 2021 net income of $63 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to $55 million, or $0.03 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

During the second quarter, Gulf Power continued to execute on smart capital investments for the benefit of customers. Gulf Power's capital expenditures were approximately $150 million for the second quarter of 2021 and full-year capital investments are expected to be between $800 million and $900 million. All of Gulf Power's major capital investments, including the North Florida Resiliency Connection that is expected to be in-service in mid-2022, continue to progress well. As a result of these ongoing investments, regulatory capital employed increased by approximately 17% year-over-year.

NextEra Energy Resources

NextEra Energy Resources, the competitive clean energy business of NextEra Energy, reported a second-quarter 2021 net loss attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $315 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to net income attributable to NextEra Energy of $481 million, or $0.24 per share, in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy Resources' earnings for the second quarter of 2021 were $574 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to $531 million, or $0.27 per share, for the second quarter of 2020.

NextEra Energy Resources had another excellent quarter of execution, adding approximately 1,840 MW of renewables and storage projects to its backlog. Since the first-quarter 2021 financial results call in April, NextEra Energy Resources added approximately 285 MW of new wind and wind repowering, 1,450 MW of solar and 105 MW of battery storage to its backlog of signed contracts. In addition, NextEra Energy Resources executed a 310-MWbuild-own-transfer agreement, which is not included in its backlog additions.

Corporate and Other

In the second quarter of 2021 on a GAAP basis, Corporate and Other results decreased $0.16 per share, compared to the prior-year quarter, and were roughly flat on an adjusted basis.

Outlook

NextEra Energy's long-term financial expectations remain unchanged. For 2021, NextEra Energy expects adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.40 to $2.54. For 2022 and 2023, NextEra Energy expects to grow 6% to 8% off the expected 2021 adjusted earnings per share. For 2022 and 2023, this translates to an expected adjusted earnings per share range of $2.55 to $2.75 and $2.77 to $2.97, respectively.

NextEra Energy's adjusted earnings expectations exclude the cumulative effect of adopting new accounting standards; the effects of non-qualifying hedges and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear decommissioning funds and OTTI, none of which can be determined at this time. Adjusted earnings expectations also exclude the effects of NextEra Energy Partners, LP net investment gains and differential membership interests-related. In addition, adjusted earnings expectations assume, among other things, normal weather and operating conditions; supportive commodity markets; current forward curves; public policy support for wind and solar development and construction; market demand and transmission expansion to support wind and solar development; market demand for pipeline capacity; access to capital at reasonable cost and terms; divestitures to NextEra Energy Partners, LP; no acquisitions; 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.
