NextEra Energy, Inc.: Providing Efficient yet clean Energy for all

After several decades of industry-wide change from a variety of external and internal forces, the power and utility industry now faces a new wave of powerful disruption from progressing technology and shareholder performance expectations. At the same time, converging pressures from grid modernization, an aging workforce, growing client demands for affordable, reliable and environmentally sustainable electricity, governmental regulations and IT integration are bringing immense challenges that companies must solve through effective lean operations. The industry has to meet these expectations all while driving utilities to strategically maneuver and create value for their stakeholders. As a well-established organization that has weathered these tumultuous changes in the economy and the subsequent consumer expectations, NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) is a leading clean energy company headquartered in Florida, serving more than five million consumers in the state.

NextEra Energy owns two electric companies in Florida: Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), the largest rate-regulated electric utility in the United States as measured by retail electricity produced and sold; and Gulf Power Company, which serves more than 460,000 customers in eight counties throughout northwest Florida. NextEra Energy also owns and operates a competitive energy business, NextEra Energy Resources (NEER), which together with its affiliated entities is the world’s largest generator of solar and wind energy and a world leader in battery storage. Through its subsidiaries, the company generates clean and emissions-free electricity from eight commercial nuclear power units situated across Florida, New Hampshire, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
