Exhibit 99.2



Introduction

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations and balance sheet (pro forma financial statements) combine the historical consolidated financial statements of NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NEP) and the financial statements of NET Holdings Management, LLC (NET Midstream) and its subsidiaries to illustrate the potential effect of the October 1, 2015 acquisition by a subsidiary of NEP of 100% of the membership interests in NET Midstream (NET Midstream acquisition). The pro forma financial statements are based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements of NEP included in NEP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 20, 2015, as amended, and retrospectively adjusted to reflect the acquisitions of entities under common control described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of NEP and its subsidiaries in Exhibit 99 to NEP's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 21, 2015. The pro forma financial statements are also based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the condensed consolidated financial statements of NEP included in NEP's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2015 filed with the SEC on August 3, 2015, as well as the consolidated financial statements of NET Holdings Management, LLC and its subsidiaries previously filed as Exhibit 99 to NEP's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 10, 2015 and the condensed consolidated financial statements of NET Holdings Management, LLC and its subsidiaries included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the NET Midstream acquisition and the associated financing activities, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the pro forma statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. The pro forma financial statements have been derived by the application of pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of NEP. The pro forma consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2014 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 give effect to the NET Midstream acquisition and the debt and equity financing transactions related to such acquisition as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 gives effect to the NET Midstream acquisition and the debt and equity financing transactions related to such acquisition as if they had occurred on June 30, 2015.

The pro forma financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price for the NET Midstream acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The initial accounting for the NET Midstream acquisition is not complete because the evaluation necessary to assess the fair values of certain net assets acquired is still in process. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary, subject to future adjustments and have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial statements presented herewith. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma financial statements and NEP's future results of operations and financial position.

The pro forma financial statements have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company's results of operations and financial position would have been had the NET Midstream acquisition been completed on the dates indicated. NEP incurred approximately $12 million in costs associated with the NET Midstream acquisition subsequent to June 30, 2015 and such costs are not included in the pro forma financial statements.

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements


Note 1. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The pro forma adjustments include the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final allocation of the purchase price could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used for the pro forma financial statements primarily because natural gas prices, interest rates and other valuation variables will fluctuate over time and be different at the time of completion of the NET Midstream acquisition compared to the amounts assumed for the pro forma adjustments. The following is a summary of the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

The adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions, and therefore the actual effects of these transactions will differ from the pro forma adjustments. A general description of these transactions and adjustments is provided as follows:

(a)
Reflects the removal of the historical results and financial position of NET Midstream's commodities trading and other operations which were not acquired by NEP.

(b)
Reflects the reclassification of NET Midstream transportation and other fees to conform to NEP's financial reporting policies.

(c)
Reflects the reclassification of NET Midstream expenses to conform to NEP's financial reporting policies in the amounts of approximately $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

(d)
Reflects the removal of approximately $1 million of employee bonus at NET Midstream that was accelerated and paid out in the six months ended June 30, 2015 in anticipation of the closing of the NET Midstream acquisition.

(e)
Reflects the estimated depreciation and amortization expense based on the preliminary fair value of property, plant and equipment-net and intangible assets - customer relationships over useful lives ranging from 25 - 50 years and 38 - 40 years, respectively.

(f)
Reflects the $600 million NEP borrowed under several senior secured term loan agreements to fund the NET Midstream acquisition and the related fees and interest of approximately $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and $22 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

(g)
Reflects the removal of interest expense related to the $313 million short-term loan repaid as discussed in (j).


5


(h)
Reflects the removal of a $2 million deferred tax asset related to the change in state apportionment due to the NET Midstream acquisition and related basis difference in NEP’s investment and the reduction of tax expense of $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to NET Midstream historical financial statements and pro forma adjustments.

(i)
Reflects adjustments to net income attributable to noncontrolling interest based on the allocation of the pro forma adjustments.

(j)
Reflects financing transactions NEP completed in the third quarter of 2015 that resulted in an increase in cash on hand used to fund the NET Midstream acquisition. NEP sold 8,375,907 common units representing limited partner interests in NEP in a public offering increasing limited partners' equity by approximately $213 million and sold 27,000,000 of NEP OpCo common units to NEE increasing noncontrolling interest by $702 million. A portion of the net proceeds of the equity transactions was used to repay a $313 million short-term loan. The remaining proceeds of $602 million resulted in cash on hand to fund $340 million of the cash consideration for the NET Midstream acquisition, with approximately $262 million remaining in cash and cash equivalents.

(k)
Reflects adjustments to record the preliminary purchase price allocation. See Note 1.

(l)
Reflects the removal of NET Midstream's historical members' equity.
