• NextEra Energy’s and FPL’s financial results may be adversely affected by the extensive regulation of their businesses.

• NextEra Energy’s and FPL’s financial results could be negatively affected if they or their rate-regulated businesses are unable to recover, in a timely manner, certain costs, a return on certain assets or an appropriate return on capital from customers through regulated rates and, in the case of FPL, cost recovery clauses.

• NextEra Energy’s, NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, Inc.'s (Capital Holdings) and FPL’s inability to maintain their current credit ratings may adversely affect NextEra Energy’s and FPL’s liquidity, limit the ability of NextEra Energy and FPL to grow their businesses, and increase interest costs, while the liquidity of the companies also could be impaired by the inability of their credit providers to maintain their current credit ratings or to fund their credit commitments.

• The use of derivative contracts by NextEra Energy and FPL in the normal course of business could result in financial losses or the payment of margin cash collateral that could adversely affect their financial results and liquidity.

• NextEra Energy’s and FPL’s financial results and liquidity could be materially adversely affected if the rules implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) broaden the scope of its provisions regarding the regulation of over-the-counter (OTC) financial derivatives and make them applicable to NextEra Energy and FPL.

• NextEra Energy’s ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions is subject to significant risks, including, but not limited to, the effect of increased competition for acquisitions resulting from the consolidation of the power industry.

• The ability of NextEra Energy and FPL to obtain insurance and the terms of any available insurance coverage could be adversely affected by international, national, state or local events and company-specific events, as well as the financial condition of insurers. NextEra Energy’s and FPL’s insurance coverage may not provide protection against all significant losses.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2010 Form 10-K for NextEra Energy and FPL.  In the opinion of NextEra Energy and FPL management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair financial statement presentation have been made.  Certain amounts included in the prior year's condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.  The results of operations for an interim period generally will not give a true indication of results for the year.

1.  Employee Retirement Benefits

NextEra Energy sponsors a qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for substantially all employees of NextEra Energy and its subsidiaries and has a supplemental executive retirement plan, which includes a non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension component that provides benefits to a select group of management and highly compensated employees (collectively, pension benefits).  In addition to pension benefits, NextEra Energy sponsors a contributory postretirement plan for health care and life insurance benefits (other benefits) for retirees of NextEra Energy and its subsidiaries meeting certain eligibility requirements.

The components of net periodic benefit (income) cost for the plans are as follows:

2.  Derivative Instruments

NextEra Energy and FPL use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options, futures and forwards) to manage the commodity price risk inherent in the purchase and sale of fuel and electricity, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with outstanding and forecasted debt issuances, and to optimize the value of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC's (NextEra Energy Resources) power generation assets.

With respect to commodities related to NextEra Energy's competitive energy business, NextEra Energy Resources employs risk management procedures to conduct its activities related to optimizing the value of its power generation assets, providing full energy and capacity requirements services primarily to distribution utilities, and engaging in power and gas marketing and trading activities to take advantage of expected future favorable price movements and changes in the expected volatility of prices in the energy markets.  These risk management activities involve the use of derivative instruments executed within prescribed limits to manage the risk associated with fluctuating commodity prices.  Transactions in derivative instruments are executed on recognized exchanges or via the OTC markets, depending on the most favorable credit terms and market execution factors.  For NextEra Energy Resources' power generation assets, derivative instruments are used to hedge the commodity price risk associated with the fuel requirements of the assets, where applicable, as well as to hedge all or a portion of the expected energy output of these assets.  These hedges protect NextEra Energy Resources against adverse changes in the wholesale forward commodity markets associated with its generation assets.  With regard to full energy and capacity requirements services, NextEra Energy Resources is required to vary the quantity of energy and related services based on the load demands of the customer served by the distribution utility.  For this type of transaction, derivative instruments are used to hedge the anticipated electricity quantities required to serve these customers and protect against unfavorable changes in the forward energy markets.  Additionally, NextEra Energy Resources takes positions in the energy markets based on differences between actual forward market levels and management's view of fundamental market conditions.  NextEra Energy Resources uses derivative instruments to realize value from these market dislocations, subject to strict risk management limits around market, operational and credit exposure.

Derivative instruments, when required to be marked to market, are recorded on NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value.  At FPL, substantially all changes in the derivatives' fair value are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability until the contracts are settled, and, upon settlement, any gains or losses are passed through the fuel and purchased power cost recovery clause (fuel clause) or the capacity cost recovery clause (capacity clause).  For NextEra Energy's non-rate regulated operations, predominantly NextEra Energy Resources, unless hedge accounting is applied, essentially all changes in the derivatives' fair value for power purchases and sales and trading activities are recognized on a net basis in operating revenues; fuel purchases and sales are recognized on a net basis in fuel, purchased power and interchange expense; and the equity method investees' related activity is recognized in equity in earnings of equity method investees in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income.  Settlement gains and losses are included within the line items in the condensed consolidated statements of income to which they relate.  Settlements related to derivative instruments are primarily recognized in net cash provided by operating activities in NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

While most of NextEra Energy's derivatives are entered into for the purpose of managing commodity price risk, reducing the impact of volatility in interest rates on outstanding and forecasted debt issuances and managing foreign currency risk, hedge accounting is only applied where specific criteria are met and it is practicable to do so.  In order to apply hedge accounting, the transaction must be designated as a hedge and it must be highly effective in offsetting the hedged risk.  Additionally, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the forecasted transactions must be probable.  For commodity derivatives, NextEra Energy Resources believes that, where offsetting positions exist at the same location for the same time, the transactions are considered to have been netted and therefore physical delivery has been deemed not to have occurred for financial reporting purposes.  Transactions for which physical delivery is deemed not to have occurred are presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated statements of income.  For interest rate swaps and foreign currency derivative instruments, generally NextEra Energy assesses a hedging instrument's effectiveness by using nonstatistical methods including dollar value comparisons of the change in the fair value of the derivative to the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item.  Hedge effectiveness is tested at the inception of the hedge and on at least a quarterly basis throughout its life.  The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) and is reclassified into earnings in the period(s) during which the transaction being hedged affects earnings or when it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction being hedged would not occur.  See Note 6.  The ineffective portion of net unrealized gains (losses) on these hedges is reported in earnings in the current period. At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy's accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) included amounts related to discontinued commodity cash flow hedges with expiration dates through December 2012; interest rate cash flow hedges with expiration dates through December 2030; and foreign currency cash flow hedges with expiration dates through September 2030.

In September 2011, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in four natural gas-fired generating plants. See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements. Certain of the plants had hedged their exposure to interest rate and commodity price fluctuations by entering into derivative contracts. Because the plants are being sold to a third party, it became no longer probable that the future hedged transactions would occur. Therefore, NextEra Energy was required to reclassify any gains or losses in AOCI related to those hedges to earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy reclassified approximately $21 million of net losses to earnings, $30 million of losses were recorded in loss on assets held for sale and $9 million of gains were recorded in other - net.

At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy had 28 interest rate swaps with a notional amount totaling approximately $6.6 billion and two foreign currency swaps with a notional amount totaling approximately $544 million.

Certain of NextEra Energy's and FPL's derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features including, among other things, the requirement to maintain an investment grade credit rating from specified credit rating agencies and certain financial ratios, as well as credit-related cross-default and material adverse change triggers.  At September 30, 2011, the aggregate fair value of NextEra Energy's derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was approximately $1.7 billion ($0.3 billion for FPL).

If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements and other commodity-related contracts were triggered, NextEra Energy or FPL could be required to post collateral or settle contracts according to contractual terms which generally allow netting of contracts in offsetting positions.  Certain contracts contain multiple types of credit-related triggers.  To the extent these contracts contain a credit ratings downgrade trigger, the maximum exposure is included in the following credit ratings collateral posting requirements.  If FPL's and Capital Holdings' credit ratings were downgraded to BBB/Baa2 (a two level downgrade for FPL and a one level downgrade for Capital Holdings from the current lowest applicable rating), NextEra Energy would be required to post collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately $350 million ($100 million at FPL).If FPL's and Capital Holdings' credit ratings were downgraded to below investment grade, NextEra Energy would be required to post additional collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately $2.3 billion ($0.8 billion at FPL).  Some contracts at NextEra Energy, including some FPL contracts, do not contain credit ratings downgrade triggers, but do contain provisions that require certain financial measures be maintained and/or have credit-related cross-default triggers.  In the event these provisions were triggered, NextEra Energy could be required to post additional collateral of up to approximately $600 million ($150 million at FPL).

Collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support.  At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy had posted approximately $140 million (none at FPL) in the form of letters of credit, related to derivatives, in the normal course of business which could be applied toward the collateral requirements described above.  FPL and Capital Holdings have bank revolving line of credit facilities in excess of the collateral requirements described above that would be available to support, among other things, derivative activities.  Under the terms of the bank revolving line of credit facilities, maintenance of a specific credit rating is not a condition to drawing on these credit facilities, although there are other conditions to drawing on these credit facilities.

Additionally, some contracts contain certain adequate assurance provisions where a counterparty may demand additional collateral based on subjective events and/or conditions.  Due to the subjective nature of these provisions, NextEra Energy and FPL are unable to determine an exact value for these items and they are not included in any of the quantitative disclosures above.

3.  Fair Value Measurements

NextEra Energy and FPL use several different valuation techniques to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities, relying primarily on the market approach of using prices and other market information for identical and/or comparable assets and liabilities for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  NextEra Energy's and FPL's assessment of the significance of any particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.  Non-performance risk is also considered in the determination of fair value for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the consideration of a credit valuation adjustment.

Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.  NextEra Energy and FPL primarily hold investments in money market funds.  The fair value of these funds is calculated using current market prices.

Special Use Funds and Other Investments - NextEra Energy and FPL hold primarily debt and equity securities directly, as well as indirectly through commingled funds.  Substantially all directly held equity securities are valued at their quoted market prices.  For directly held debt securities, multiple prices and price types are obtained from pricing vendors whenever possible, which enables cross-provider validations.  A primary price source is identified based on asset type, class or issue of each security.  Commingled funds, which are similar to mutual funds, are maintained by banks or investment companies and hold certain investments in accordance with a stated set of objectives.  The fair value of commingled funds is primarily derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities.  Because the fund shares are offered to a limited group of investors, they are not considered to be traded in an active market.

Derivative Instruments - NextEra Energy and FPL measure the fair value of commodity contracts on a daily basis using prices observed on commodities exchanges and in the OTC markets, or through the use of industry-standard valuation techniques, such as option modeling or discounted cash flows techniques, incorporating both observable and unobservable valuation inputs.  The resulting measurements are the best estimate of fair value as represented by the transfer of the asset or liability through an orderly transaction in the marketplace at the measurement date.

NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities are valued directly using unadjusted quoted prices.  For exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities where the principal market is deemed to be inactive based on average daily volumes and open interest, the measurement is established using settlement prices from the exchanges, and therefore considered to be valued using significant other observable inputs.

NextEra Energy and FPL also enter into OTC commodity contract derivatives.  The majority of these contracts are transacted at liquid trading points, and the prices for these contracts are verified using quoted prices in active markets from exchanges, brokers or pricing services for similar contracts.  In instances where the reference exchange markets are deemed to be inactive or do not have a similar contract that trades on an exchange, the derivative assets and liabilities may be valued using significant other observable inputs and potentially significant unobservable inputs.  In such instances, the valuation for these contracts is established using techniques including extrapolation from or interpolation between actively traded contracts, or estimated basis adjustments from liquid trading points.

NextEra Energy, through NextEra Energy Resources, also enters into full requirements contracts, which, in many cases, meet the definition of derivatives and are measured at fair value.  These contracts typically have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation of the contract.  In addition, certain exchange and non-exchange traded derivative options at NextEra Energy have one or more significant inputs that are not observable, and are valued using industry-standard option models.

In all cases where NextEra Energy and FPL use significant unobservable inputs for the valuation of a commodity contract, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.  This includes, but is not limited to, assumptions about market liquidity, volatility and contract duration.

NextEra Energy uses interest rate and foreign currency swaps to mitigate and adjust interest rate and foreign currency exposure related to certain outstanding and forecasted debt issuances and borrowings.  NextEra Energy estimates the fair value of these derivatives using a discounted cash flows valuation technique based on the net amount of estimated future cash inflows and outflows related to the swap agreements.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements - NextEra Energy's and FPL's financial assets and liabilities and other fair value measurements made on a recurring basis by fair value hierarchy level are as follows:

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements - NextEra Energy tests long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  In the second quarter of 2011, recent market value indications and the impact of newly proposed environmental regulations suggested that the carrying value of certain NextEra Energy Resources' assets, primarily wind assets in West Texas and oil-fired assets in Maine, may be impaired.  NextEra Energy Resources performed a fair value analysis and concluded that an impairment charge related to the long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, was necessary.  The fair value analysis was primarily based on the income approach using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) including revenue and generation forecasts, projected capital and maintenance expenditures and discount rates.  As a result, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of approximately $79 million were written down to their fair value of $28 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $51 million ($31 million after-tax), which is recorded as a separate line item in NextEra Energy’s condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

In September 2011, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in four natural gas-fired generating plants with a total generating capacity of 2,152 mw located in California, Virginia, Alabama and South Carolina. A NextEra Energy Resources affiliate will continue to operate three of the facilities included in the sale under service contracts for a five-year period and the fourth facility for a two-year period. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011, contingent upon receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and third-party consents.

In connection with the agreement to sell, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, a loss of approximately $148 million ($97 million after-tax) was recorded in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income consisting of the impact of writing down the net assets held for sale to their estimated fair value less costs to sell and the reclassification of $30 million from AOCI as a result of the discontinuance of certain cash flow hedges because it became probable that the related forecasted transactions being hedged would not occur. See Note 2. The fair value measurement (Level 3) was based on the negotiated sales price and the estimated costs to sell. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities related to the four plants that were classified as held for sale on NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

	September 30, 2011
	(millions)
Property, plant and equipment - net	$	856
Current assets	147
Other assets	89
Assets held for sale	$	1,092
Long-term debt	$	488
Current liabilities	87
Other liabilities and deferred credits	21
Liabilities associated with assets held for sale	$	596

Derivative assets and derivative liabilities with carrying values and estimated fair values of approximately $12 million and $28 million, respectively, are included in the assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale at September 30, 2011. The derivative assets consist of a commodity contract which is subject to recurring fair value measurements based on Level 3 inputs and the derivative liabilities consist of interest rate swap agreements which are subject to recurring fair value measurements based on Level 2 inputs.

4.  Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents and commercial paper approximate their fair values.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, other investments of NextEra Energy, not included in the table below, included financial instruments of approximately $75 million and $97 million ($4 million and $4 million at FPL), respectively, including $41 million and $48 million included in current other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (none at FPL), which primarily consist of notes receivable that are carried at estimated fair value or cost, which approximates fair value.

Regulations issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provide general risk management guidelines to protect nuclear decommissioning funds and to allow such funds to earn a reasonable return.  The FERC regulations prohibit, among other investments, investments in any securities of NextEra Energy or its subsidiaries, affiliates or associates, excluding investments tied to market indices or mutual funds.  Similar restrictions applicable to the decommissioning funds for NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear plants are included in the NRC operating licenses for those facilities or in NRC regulations applicable to NRC licensees not in cost-of-service environments.  With respect to the decommissioning fund for NextEra Energy Resources' Seabrook Station (Seabrook), decommissioning fund contributions and withdrawals are also regulated by the Nuclear Decommissioning Financing Committee pursuant to New Hampshire law.

The nuclear decommissioning reserve funds are managed by investment managers who must comply with the guidelines of NextEra Energy and FPL and the rules of the applicable regulatory authorities.  The funds' assets are invested giving consideration to taxes, liquidity, risk, diversification and other prudent investment objectives.

Interest Rate and Foreign Currency Swaps - NextEra Energy and its subsidiaries use a combination of fixed rate and variable rate debt to manage interest rate exposure.  Interest rate swaps are used to mitigate and adjust interest rate exposure when deemed appropriate based upon market conditions or when required by financing agreements.  In addition, with respect to certain debt issuances and borrowings, Capital Holdings has entered into cross currency swaps, one of which hedges against currency movements with respect to both interest and principal payments and another which hedges against currency and interest rate movements with respect to both interest and principal payments.  See Note 2.

5.  Income Taxes

NextEra Energy's effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 28% and 25%, respectively.  The reduction from the federal statutory rate mainly reflects the benefit of wind production tax credits (PTCs) of approximately $45 million and $66 million, respectively, related to NextEra Energy Resources' wind projects and approximately $9 million and $26 million, respectively, of deferred income tax benefits associated with grants (convertible investment tax credits (ITCs)) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, as amended (Recovery Act), primarily for certain wind projects expected to be placed in service.  NextEra Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 also reflects an income tax benefit of $24 million related to employee benefits.

23

NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

NextEra Energy's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 18% and 24%, respectively.  The reduction from the federal statutory rate mainly reflects the benefit of wind PTCs of approximately $208 million and $229 million, respectively, and approximately $17 million and $56 million, respectively, of deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs.  NextEra Energy’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 also reflects a state deferred income tax benefit (state deferred income tax benefit) included in the Corporate and Other segment of approximately $64 million, net of federal income taxes, related to state tax law changes and a $26 million reduction in income tax expense, net of federal income taxes, primarily related to a valuation allowance reversal for certain state ITCs reflecting state income tax planning initiatives (state ITC benefit). NextEra Energy’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 also reflects an income tax benefit of $24 million related to employee benefits.

NextEra Energy recognizes PTCs as wind energy is generated and sold based on a per kilowatt-hour (kwh) rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes, which may differ significantly from amounts computed, on a quarterly basis, using an overall effective income tax rate anticipated for the full year.  NextEra Energy uses this method of recognizing PTCs for specific reasons, including that PTCs are an integral part of the financial viability of most wind projects and a fundamental component of such wind projects' results of operations.  PTCs can significantly affect NextEra Energy's effective income tax rate depending on the amount of pretax income and wind generation.

During the first quarter of 2011, NextEra Energy finalized a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to the 1988 through 2005 tax years and closed out the examination of years 2006 through 2008 (collectively, IRS settlement).  The IRS settlement primarily related to NextEra Energy’s and FPL’s timing of certain deductions for repairs, casualty losses and indirect service costs.  During the second quarter of 2011, NextEra Energy received a cash refund from the IRS of approximately $278 million related to the IRS settlement.  Also as a result of the IRS settlement, NextEra Energy's gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $248 million ($214 million for FPL) and accrued net interest receivable was reduced by $131 million ($38 million for FPL).  The IRS settlement did not have a material effect on NextEra Energy's or FPL's net income.

7.  Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

As of September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy has nine VIEs which it consolidates and has interests in certain other VIEs which it does not consolidate.

FPL - FPL is considered the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidates, a VIE that is a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose subsidiary that it formed in 2007 for the sole purpose of issuing storm-recovery bonds pursuant to the securitization provisions of the Florida Statutes and a financing order of the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC).  FPL is considered the primary beneficiary because FPL has the power to direct the significant activities of the VIE, and its equity investment, which is subordinate to the bondholder's interest in the VIE, is at risk.  Storm restoration costs incurred by FPL during 2005 and 2004 exceeded the amount in FPL's funded storm and property insurance reserve, resulting in a storm reserve deficiency.  In 2007, the VIE issued $652 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured bonds (storm-recovery bonds), primarily for the after-tax equivalent of the total of FPL's unrecovered balance of the 2004 storm restoration costs, the 2005 storm restoration costs and approximately $200 million to reestablish FPL's storm and property insurance reserve.  In connection with this financing, net proceeds, after debt issuance costs, to the VIE (approximately $644 million) were used to acquire the storm-recovery property, which includes the right to impose, collect and receive a storm-recovery charge from all customers receiving electric transmission or distribution service from FPL under rate schedules approved by the FPSC or under special contracts, certain other rights and interests that arise under the financing order issued by the FPSC and certain other collateral pledged by the VIE that issued the bonds.  The storm-recovery bonds are payable only from and are secured by the storm-recovery property.  The bondholders have no recourse to the general credit of FPL.  The assets of the VIE were approximately $396 million and $444 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and consisted primarily of storm-recovery property, which are included in securitized storm-recovery costs on NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The liabilities of the VIE were approximately $490 million and $542 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and consisted primarily of storm-recovery bonds, which are included in long-term debt on NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

FPL identified a potential VIE, which is considered a qualifying facility as defined by the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as amended (PURPA).  PURPA requires utilities, such as FPL, to purchase the electricity output of a qualifying facility.  FPL entered into a PPA effective in 1994 with this 250 megawatt (mw) coal-fired qualifying facility to purchase substantially all of the facility's capacity and electrical output over a substantial portion of its estimated useful life.  FPL absorbs a portion of the facility's variability related to changes in the market price of coal through the price it pays per mwh (energy payment).  After making exhaustive efforts, FPL was unable to obtain the information from the facility necessary to determine whether the facility is a VIE or whether FPL is the primary beneficiary of the facility.  The PPA with the facility contains no provision which legally obligates the facility to release this information to FPL.  The energy payments paid by FPL will fluctuate as coal prices change.  This fluctuation does not expose FPL to losses since the energy payments paid by FPL to the facility are passed on to FPL's customers through the fuel clause as approved by the FPSC.  Notwithstanding the fact that FPL's energy payments are recovered through the fuel clause, if the facility was determined to be a VIE, the absorption of some of the facility's fuel price variability might cause FPL to be considered the primary beneficiary.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, FPL purchased 327,583 mwh and 462,021 mwh, respectively, from the facility at a total cost of approximately $50 million and $49 million, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, FPL purchased 965,105 mwh and 1,197,563 mwh, respectively, from the facility at a total cost of approximately $144 million and $140 million, respectively.

Additionally, FPL entered into a PPA effective in 1995 with a 330 mw coal-fired qualifying facility to purchase substantially all of the facility's electrical output over a substantial portion of its estimated useful life.  The facility is considered a VIE because FPL absorbs a portion of the facility’s variability related to changes in the market price of coal through the energy payment.  Since FPL does not control the most significant activities of the facility, including operations and maintenance, FPL is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate this VIE.  The energy payments paid by FPL will fluctuate as coal prices change.  This fluctuation does not expose FPL to losses since the energy payments paid by FPL to the facility are passed on to FPL’s customers through the fuel clause as approved by the FPSC.

NextEra Energy Resources - NextEra Energy consolidates eight NextEra Energy Resources’ VIEs.  NextEra Energy Resources is considered the primary beneficiary of these VIEs since NextEra Energy Resources controls the most significant activities of these VIEs, including operations and maintenance, and through its 100% equity ownership has the obligation to absorb expected losses of these VIEs.

Three of NextEra Energy Resources’ VIEs consolidate several entities which own and operate natural gas and/or oil electric generating facilities with the capability of producing a total of 1,285 mw.  These VIEs sell their electric output under power sales contracts to third parties, with expiration dates ranging from 2018 through 2022.  The power sales contracts provide the offtaker the ability to dispatch the facilities and require the offtaker to absorb the cost of fuel.  These VIEs use third party debt and equity to finance their operations.  The debt is secured by liens against the generating facilities and the other assets of these entities.  The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NextEra Energy Resources. In September 2011, NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in certain natural gas-fired generating plants (see Note 3), including two of the three VIEs. At September 30, 2011, the assets and liabilities of these two VIEs are included in assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale on NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled approximately $759 million and $387 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt. At December 31, 2010, the assets and liabilities of these two VIEs totaled approximately $730 million and $373 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt. The assets and liabilities of the third remaining natural gas/oil VIE were approximately $101 million and $81 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011 and $99 million and $82 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt.

The other five NextEra Energy Resources’ VIEs consolidate several entities which own and operate wind electric generating facilities with the capability of producing a total of 1,710 mw and an entity which owns and operates a 78 mile, 230 kilovolt transmission line.  These VIEs sell their electric output under power sales contracts to third parties with expiration dates ranging from 2018 through 2034.  The VIEs use third-party debt and/or equity to finance their operations.  Certain investors that hold no equity interest in the VIEs hold differential membership interests, which give them the right to receive a portion of the economic attributes of the generating facilities, including certain tax attributes.  The debt is secured by liens against the generating facilities and the other assets of these entities.  The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NextEra Energy Resources.  The assets and liabilities of these VIEs totaled approximately $2.9 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2011.  Three of the VIEs were consolidated at December 31, 2010, and the assets and liabilities of those VIEs totaled approximately $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2010.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the assets and liabilities of the VIEs consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment, deferral related to differential membership interests and long-term debt.

Other - As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, several NextEra Energy subsidiaries have investments totaling approximately $680 million ($531 million at FPL) and $646 million ($480 million at FPL), respectively, in certain special purpose entities, which consisted primarily of investments in mortgage-backed securities.  These investments are included in special use funds and other investments on NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated balance sheets and in special use funds on FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets.  As of September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy subsidiaries are not the primary beneficiary and therefore do not consolidate any of these entities because they do not control any of the ongoing activities of these entities, were not involved in the initial design of these entities and do not have a controlling financial interest in these entities. Prior to September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy consolidated one of these entities; however, NextEra Energy is no longer the primary beneficiary of this entity and therefore no longer consolidates this entity. Upon deconsolidation, NextEra Energy's investment in this entity is accounted for under the equity method. NextEra Energy did not recognize any gain or loss and there was no significant effect on NextEra Energy's consolidated balance sheets as a result of the deconsolidation.

Insurance - Liability for accidents at nuclear power plants is governed by the Price-Anderson Act, which limits the liability of nuclear reactor owners to the amount of insurance available from both private sources and an industry retrospective payment plan.  In accordance with this Act, NextEra Energy maintains $375 million of private liability insurance per site, which is the maximum obtainable, and participates in a secondary financial protection system, which provides up to $12.2 billion of liability insurance coverage per incident at any nuclear reactor in the United States.  Under the secondary financial protection system, NextEra Energy is subject to retrospective assessments of up to $940 million ($470 million for FPL), plus any applicable taxes, per incident at any nuclear reactor in the United States, payable at a rate not to exceed $140 million ($70 million for FPL) per incident per year.  NextEra Energy and FPL are contractually entitled to recover a proportionate share of such assessments from the owners of minority interests in Seabrook, Duane Arnold Energy Center (Duane Arnold) and St. Lucie Unit No. 2, which approximates $14 million, $35 million and $18 million, plus any applicable taxes, per incident, respectively.

NextEra Energy participates in a nuclear insurance mutual company that provides $2.75 billion of limited insurance coverage per occurrence per site for property damage, decontamination and premature decommissioning risks at its nuclear plants.  The proceeds from such insurance, however, must first be used for reactor stabilization and site decontamination before they can be used for plant repair.  NextEra Energy also participates in an insurance program that provides limited coverage for replacement power costs if a nuclear plant is out of service for an extended period of time because of an accident.  In the event of an accident at one of NextEra Energy's or another participating insured's nuclear plants, NextEra Energy could be assessed up to $165 million ($93 million for FPL), plus any applicable taxes, in retrospective premiums in a policy year.  NextEra Energy and FPL are contractually entitled to recover a proportionate share of such assessments from the owners of minority interests in Seabrook, Duane Arnold and St. Lucie Unit No. 2, which approximates $2 million, $4 million and $3 million, plus any applicable taxes, respectively.

Due to the high cost and limited coverage available from third-party insurers, NextEra Energy does not have insurance coverage for a substantial portion of its transmission and distribution property and has no insurance coverage for FPL FiberNet's fiber-optic cable.  Should FPL's future storm restoration costs exceed the reserve amount established through the issuance of storm-recovery bonds by a VIE in 2007, FPL may recover storm restoration costs, subject to prudence review by the FPSC, either through surcharges approved by the FPSC or through securitization provisions pursuant to Florida law.

In the event of a loss, the amount of insurance available might not be adequate to cover property damage and other expenses incurred.  Uninsured losses and other expenses, to the extent not recovered from customers in the case of FPL, would be borne by NextEra Energy and FPL and could have a material adverse effect on NextEra Energy's and FPL's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Legal Proceedings - In November 1999, the Attorney General of the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), brought an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Georgia Power Company and other subsidiaries of The Southern Company for certain alleged violations of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) provisions and the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) of the Clean Air Act.  In May 2001, the EPA amended its complaint to allege, among other things, that Georgia Power Company constructed and is continuing to operate Scherer Unit No. 4, in which FPL owns a 76% interest, without obtaining a PSD permit, without complying with NSPS requirements, and without applying best available control technology for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxides and particulate matter as required by the Clean Air Act.  It also alleges that unspecified major modifications have been made at Scherer Unit No. 4 that require its compliance with the aforementioned Clean Air Act provisions.  The EPA seeks injunctive relief requiring the installation of best available control technology and civil penalties.  Under the EPA's civil penalty rules, the EPA could assess up to $25,000 per day for each violation from an unspecified date after June 1, 1975 through January 30, 1997, up to $27,500 per day for each violation from January 31, 1997 through March 15, 2004, up to $32,500 per day for each violation from March 16, 2004 through January 12, 2009 and up to $37,500 per day for each violation thereafter.  Georgia Power Company has answered the amended complaint, asserting that it has complied with all requirements of the Clean Air Act, denying the plaintiff's allegations of liability, denying that the plaintiff is entitled to any of the relief that it seeks and raising various other defenses.  In June 2001, a federal district court stayed discovery and administratively closed the case and the EPA has not yet moved to reopen the case.  In April 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court in a separate unrelated case rejected an argument that a "major modification" occurs at a plant only when there is a resulting increase in the hourly rate of air emissions.  Georgia Power Company has made a similar argument in defense of its case, but has other factual and legal defenses that are unaffected by the U.S. Supreme Court's decision.

In 1995 and 1996, NextEra Energy, through an indirect subsidiary, purchased from Adelphia Communications Corporation (Adelphia) 1,091,524 shares of Adelphia common stock and 20,000 shares of Adelphia preferred stock (convertible into 2,358,490 shares of Adelphia common stock) for an aggregate price of approximately $35,900,000.  On January 29, 1999, Adelphia repurchased all of these shares for $149,213,130 in cash.  In June 2004, Adelphia, Adelphia Cablevision, L.L.C. and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Adelphia filed a complaint against NextEra Energy and its indirect subsidiary in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York.  The complaint alleges that the repurchase of these shares by Adelphia was a fraudulent transfer, in that at the time of the transaction Adelphia (i) was insolvent or was rendered insolvent, (ii) did not receive reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the cash it paid, and (iii) was engaged or about to engage in a business or transaction for which any property remaining with Adelphia had unreasonably small capital.  The complaint seeks the recovery for the benefit of Adelphia's bankruptcy estate of the cash paid for the repurchased shares, plus interest from January 29, 1999.  NextEra Energy has filed an answer to the complaint.  NextEra Energy believes that the complaint is without merit because, among other reasons, Adelphia will be unable to demonstrate that (i) Adelphia's repurchase of shares from NextEra Energy, which repurchase was at the market value for those shares, was not for reasonably equivalent value, (ii) Adelphia was insolvent at the time of the repurchase, or (iii) the repurchase left Adelphia with unreasonably small capital.  The trial has been indefinitely continued pending resolution of a jurisdictional issue.

In October 2004, TXU Portfolio Management Company (TXU) served FPL Energy Pecos Wind I, LP, FPL Energy Pecos Wind I GP, LLC, FPL Energy Pecos Wind II, LP, FPL Energy Pecos Wind II GP, LLC and Indian Mesa Wind Farm, LP (NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates) as defendants in a civil action filed in the District Court in Dallas County, Texas.  FPL Energy, LLC, now known as NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, was added as a defendant in 2005.  The petition alleged that the NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates had contractual obligations to produce and sell to TXU a minimum quantity of energy and renewable energy credits each year during the period from 2002 through 2005 and that the NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates failed to meet this obligation.  The plaintiff asserted claims for breach of contract and declaratory judgment and sought damages of approximately $34 million.  Following a jury trial in 2007, among other findings, both TXU and the NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates were found to have breached the contracts.  In August 2008, the trial court issued a final judgment holding that the contracts were not terminated and neither party was entitled to recover any damages.  In November 2008, TXU appealed the final judgment to the Fifth District Court of Appeals in Dallas, Texas.  In an opinion issued in July 2010, the appellate court reversed portions of the trial court's judgment, ruling that the contracts' liquidated damage provision is an enforceable liquidated damage clause.  The appellate court has remanded the case back to the trial court for further proceedings to determine the amount of damages payable by the NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates.  The NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates filed a motion for rehearing of the appellate court’s decision, which motion was denied.  In April 2011, the NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates filed a petition for review of the appellate court decision with the Texas Supreme Court, which petition is pending.

NextEra Energy and FPL are vigorously defending, and believe that they or their affiliates have meritorious defenses to, the lawsuits described above.  In addition to the legal proceedings discussed above, NextEra Energy and its subsidiaries, including FPL, are involved in other legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims in the ordinary course of their businesses.  Generating plants in which NextEra Energy or FPL has an ownership interest are also involved in legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims, the liabilities from which, if any, would be shared by NextEra Energy or FPL.  In the event that NextEra Energy and FPL, or their affiliates, do not prevail in the lawsuits described above or these other legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims, there may be a material adverse effect on their financial statements.  While management is unable to predict with certainty the outcome of the lawsuits described above or these other legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims, based on current knowledge it is not expected that their ultimate resolution, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of NextEra Energy or FPL.

11.  Segment Information

(a) Interest expense allocated from Capital Holdings to NextEra Energy Resources is based on a deemed capital structure of 70% debt.  For this purpose, the deferred credit associated with differential membership interests sold by NextEra Energy Resources subsidiaries is included with debt.  Residual non-utility interest expense is included in Corporate and Other.

(b) Includes after-tax loss on assets held for sale of $91 million. See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements. See Note 5 for a discussion of NextEra Energy Resources' tax benefits related to PTCs.

(c) Includes after-tax loss on assets held for sale of $6 million. See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.

(d) Includes an income tax benefit of $24 million related to employee benefits.

(e) Includes impairment charges of approximately $51 million.  See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.

NextEra Energy Resources reviews the estimated useful lives of its fixed assets on an ongoing basis.  In the first quarter of 2011, this review indicated that the actual lives of certain equipment at NextEra Energy Resources’ wind plants are expected to be longer than the previously estimated useful lives used for depreciation purposes.  As a result, effective January 1, 2011, NextEra Energy Resources changed the estimates of the useful lives of certain equipment to better reflect the estimated periods during which these assets are expected to remain in service.  The useful lives of substantially all of the wind plants’ equipment that were previously estimated to be 25 years were increased to 30 years.  The effect of this change in estimate was to reduce depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $19 million and $56 million, increase net income by $11 million and $33 million, and increase basic and diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.03 and $0.08, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  The effect of this change in estimate for the year ended December 31, 2011 is expected to reduce depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $75 million, increase net income by $44 million and increase basic and diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.11.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Notes contained herein and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Management's Discussion) appearing in the 2010 Form 10-K for NextEra Energy and FPL.  The results of operations for an interim period generally will not give a true indication of results for the year.  In the following discussion, all comparisons are with the corresponding items in the prior year period.

Results of Operations

Summary - Presented below is a summary of NextEra Energy's net income (loss) by reportable segment (see Note 11).  Corporate and Other represents business activities other than FPL and NextEra Energy Resources, other segments that are not separately reportable and eliminating entries.

NextEra Energy Consolidated	$	407		$	720	$	(313	)	$	1,256	$	1,694	$	(438	)

FPL's earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased primarily due to rate base growth and FPL's ability to use the surplus depreciation credit, as permitted under the terms of the stipulation and settlement regarding FPL's base rates (2010 rate agreement), to earn up to FPL's allowed 11% regulatory return on equity (ROE) on its retail rate base.  The increase in FPL's results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 also reflects higher earnings related to additional nuclear capacity, solar and environmental capital expenditures recovered through cost recovery clauses.

In September 2011, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in four natural gas-fired generating plants with a total generating capacity of 2,152 mw located in California, Virginia, Alabama and South Carolina.  In connection with this agreement to sell, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 a loss of approximately $148 million ($97 million total after-tax loss with $91 million of this after-tax loss recorded by NextEra Energy Resources) was recorded in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income and is subject to various adjustments at closing.  The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011, contingent upon receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and third-party consents.  See Note 3 ‑ Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.  NextEra Energy Resources' results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were also affected by net unrealized after-tax gains and losses from non-qualifying hedges, as well as after-tax other than temporary impairment (OTTI) losses and reversals on securities held in its nuclear decommissioning funds, as described below. In addition, NextEra Energy Resources' results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 reflect lower results from the customer supply and proprietary gas trading businesses, from new investments and from existing wind investments, partly offset by improved results at the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant (Point Beach) and higher gas infrastructure results.  NextEra Energy Resources' results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflect lower results from the customer supply and proprietary gas trading businesses, lower results at Seabrook, impairment charges primarily taken to write down the value of certain wind and oil-fired generation assets and higher expenses to support the growth of the business, partly offset by higher wind investment and gas infrastructure results.  See the table under NextEra Energy Resources below for the primary drivers of earnings.

In October 2011, subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell their ownership interests in a 550 mw natural gas-fired generating plant in Rhode Island.  The transaction is expected to close in late 2011 and is contingent upon receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and third-party consents.  In connection with the agreement to sell, an after-tax loss of approximately $2 million, which is subject to various adjustments at closing, is expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011.

NextEra Energy and NextEra Energy Resources segregate into two categories unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on energy derivative transactions which are used to manage commodity price risk.  The first category, referred to as trading activities, represents the net unrealized effect of actively traded positions entered into to take advantage of market price movements and to optimize the value of generation assets and related contracts.  The second category, referred to as non-qualifying hedges, represents the net unrealized effect of derivative and certain other transactions entered into as economic hedges but which do not qualify for hedge accounting, or for which hedge accounting was not elected.  At FPL, substantially all changes in the fair value of energy derivative transactions are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability until the contracts are settled, and, upon settlement, any gains or losses are passed through the fuel clause or the capacity clause.  See Note 2.

37

NextEra Energy's management uses earnings excluding certain items (adjusted earnings) internally for financial planning, for analysis of performance, for reporting of results to the Board of Directors and as an input in determining whether performance goals are met for performance-based compensation under NextEra Energy's employee incentive compensation plans.  NextEra Energy also uses adjusted earnings when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to investors.  Adjusted earnings exclude the unrealized mark-to-market effect of non-qualifying hedges, OTTI losses on securities held in NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear decommissioning funds, net of the reversal of previously recognized OTTI losses on securities sold and losses on securities where price recovery was deemed unlikely (collectively, OTTI reversals) and, in 2011, the after-tax loss on natural gas assets held for sale.  NextEra Energy's management believes adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of the company's fundamental earnings power.  Although the excluded amounts are properly included in the determination of net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, management believes that the amount and/or nature of such items make period to period comparisons of operations difficult and potentially confusing.  Adjusted earnings do not represent a substitute for net income, as prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The following table provides details of the net unrealized after-tax gains and losses from non-qualifying hedges, after-tax OTTI losses, net of reversals and the after-tax loss on natural gas assets held for sale.

(b) Included in NextEra Energy's net income. $91 million included in NextEra Energy Resources' net income and $6 million recorded at Corporate and Other.

The change in unrealized mark-to-market activity from non-qualifying hedges is primarily attributable to changes in forward power and natural gas prices, as well as the reversal of previously recognized unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses as the underlying transactions are realized.  As a general rule, a gain (loss) in the non-qualifying hedge category is offset by decreases (increases) in the fair value of related physical asset positions in the portfolio or contracts, which are not marked to market under generally accepted accounting principles.

The decrease in Corporate and Other's results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 reflects the absence of an income tax benefit of $24 million recorded in 2010 related to employee benefits. The increase in Corporate and Other's results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily due to a state deferred income tax benefit of approximately $64 million, net of federal income taxes, related to state tax law changes, partly offset by the absence of the benefit related to employee benefits.  See Note 5.

NextEra Energy's effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately 28% and 18%, respectively; NextEra Energy's effective income tax rates for the corresponding periods in 2010 were 25% and 24%.  These rates reflect the effect of PTCs for wind projects at NextEra Energy Resources and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs under the Recovery Act.  PTCs and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs can significantly affect NextEra Energy's effective income tax rate depending on the amount of NextEra Energy's pretax income.  PTCs can be significantly affected by wind generation.  PTCs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $45 million and $208 million, respectively, and $66 million and $229 million for the comparable periods in 2010.  Deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $9 million and $17 million, respectively, and $26 million and $56 million for the comparable periods in 2010.  NextEra Energy's effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were also reduced by the approximately $64 million state deferred income tax benefit recorded at Corporate and Other and the $26 million state ITC benefit.  See Note 5.

As a result of the impact of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami on nuclear facilities in Japan, the NRC established a task force to conduct a comprehensive review of processes and regulations relating to nuclear facilities in the United States to determine whether the NRC should make additional improvements to its regulatory system and to make recommendations to the NRC for its policy direction.  In July 2011, the NRC task force released its recommendations to the NRC and since then, the NRC staff presented certain conclusions based on their review of the task force recommendations, which conclusions have been approved by the NRC. The NRC staff's report concluded that none of the findings addressed by the task force recommendations rise to the level of an imminent hazard to public health and safety. However, since the recommendations can contribute to safety improvements, the NRC staff proposed the following actions: 1) issue orders within approximately six months to require each nuclear site to purchase portable equipment and revise procedures to address multi-unit events, provide reliable spent fuel pool instrumentation and enhance containment venting capabilities for boiling water reactors (Duane Arnold is NextEra Energy's only boiling water reactor); 2) request each site to re-evaluate its seismic and flood protection designs in light of current requirements and identify any areas for improvement; and 3) issue new regulations requiring enhancements relating to extended periods of loss of alternating current power, emergency preparedness and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities.  The NRC is reviewing the timeline for implementation of all of the actions, but has indicated that all actions should be completed by the end of 2016. NextEra Energy and FPL are currently reviewing the NRC's directions relating to the NRC staff's recommendations and assessing the potential financial and operational impact on NextEra Energy, FPL and their respective nuclear units.

The lessons learned from the events in Japan and the results of the NRC's review of the NRC staff's recommendations may, among other things, result in changes in or new licensing and safety-related requirements for U.S. nuclear facilities.  Such changes in or new requirements could, among other things, impact the capacity additions (uprates) at FPL's existing nuclear units at St. Lucie and Turkey Point, and future licensing and operations of U.S. nuclear facilities, including FPL's and NextEra Energy Resources' existing nuclear facilities and the NRC approval of two additional nuclear units at FPL's Turkey Point site, and could, among other things, result in increased cost and capital expenditures associated with the operation and maintenance of FPL's and NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear units. While the NRC continues its review, FPL and NextEra Energy Resources continue to work with industry organizations to understand the events in Japan and apply lessons learned, which may result in FPL and NextEra Energy Resources proactively making certain modifications to their nuclear facilities to, among other things, improve operational and safety systems prior to any potential requirements being imposed by the NRC.  Any such modifications could, among other things, result in increased cost and capital expenditures associated with the operation and maintenance of FPL's and NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear units.  Third parties have requested that the NRC suspend the approval of nuclear uprates, nuclear license extensions and new licenses, including approval of licenses for two additional nuclear units at FPL's Turkey Point site.  Another third party request was filed with the NRC seeking immediate suspension of the NRC operating licenses for all boiling water reactors that use a certain primary containment system, including NextEra Energy Resources' Duane Arnold nuclear unit, pending completion of the NRC review.  The NRC denied the request for immediate action related to the suspension of operating licenses for boiling water reactors, and, since the nuclear events in Japan, has continued to grant approvals for nuclear uprates and license extensions. However, it is uncertain at this time how and when the NRC will respond to the other items in these requests or other requests it may receive, or take action with regard to the timing for implementation of all of the NRC staff's recommendations.

FPL - FPL's net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $347 million and $308 million, respectively, an increase of $39 million.  FPL's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $852 million and $764 million, respectively, an increase of $88 million.  See Summary above for a discussion of the major drivers of these increases.

FPL's operating revenues consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
	(millions)
Retail base	$	1,263	$	1,232	$	3,261	$	3,243
Fuel cost recovery	1,312		1,346		3,421		3,038
Net repayment of previously deferred retail fuel revenues	—		—		—		356
Other cost recovery clauses and pass-through costs, net of any deferrals	514		480		1,346		1,236
Other, primarily pole attachment rentals, transmission and wholesale sales and customer-related fees	63		58		172		151
Total	$	3,152	$	3,116	$	8,200	$	8,024

39

As permitted by the 2010 rate agreement, retail base revenues collected through the capacity clause included approximately $44 million and $69 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, related to the placement in service of West County Energy Center (WCEC) Unit No. 3, which occurred in May 2011.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, a 0.5% increase in the average number of customer accounts increased retail base revenues by approximately $6 million, while a 1.2% decrease in usage per retail customer, reflecting weather and other factors, decreased retail base revenues by approximately $19 million.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a 0.6% increase in the average number of customer accounts increased retail base revenues by approximately $19 million, while a 1.7% decrease in usage per retail customer, reflecting weather and other factors, decreased retail base revenues by approximately $78 million. In addition, a base rate increase pursuant to an FPSC order which became effective March 1, 2010, increased retail base revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 by approximately $8 million.  The usage per retail customer data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes two extra days of sales after adjusting for a change from a fiscal month to a calendar month.

Revenues from fuel and other cost recovery clauses and pass-through costs, such as franchise fees, revenue taxes and storm­-related surcharges, are largely a pass-through of costs.  Such revenues also include a return on investment allowed to be recovered through the cost recovery clauses on certain assets, primarily related to nuclear capacity, solar and environmental projects.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, cost recovery clauses contributed $28 million and $19 million, respectively, to FPL's net income; the amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, were $76 million and $54 million, respectively.  The increase in cost recovery clause results is primarily due to the return on investment related to additional nuclear capacity, solar and environmental capital expenditures.  For the remainder of 2011, it is expected that FPL's earnings will continue to be favorably affected by cost recovery clauses as a result of additional nuclear capacity and environmental capital expenditures.  Underrecovery or overrecovery of cost recovery clause and pass-through costs can significantly affect NextEra Energy's and FPL's operating cash flows.  Fluctuations in fuel cost recovery revenues are primarily driven by changes in fuel and energy charges which are included in fuel, purchased power and interchange expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income, as well as by changes in energy sales.  Fluctuations in revenues from other cost recovery clauses and pass-through costs are primarily driven by changes in storm-related surcharges, capacity charges, franchise fee costs, the impact of changes in operations and maintenance and depreciation expenses on the underlying cost recovery clause, investment in solar and environmental projects, investment in nuclear capacity until such capacity goes into service, pre-construction costs associated with the early-stage development of two additional nuclear units at the Turkey Point site and changes in energy sales.  Capacity charges and franchise fee costs are included in fuel, purchased power and interchange and taxes other than income taxes and other, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

FPL uses a risk management fuel procurement program which was approved by the FPSC.  The FPSC reviews the program activities and results for prudence on an annual basis as part of its annual review of fuel costs.  The program is intended to manage fuel price volatility by locking in fuel prices for a portion of FPL's fuel requirements.  The current regulatory asset for the change in fair value of derivative instruments used in FPL's fuel procurement program was approximately $263 million and $236 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  Pursuant to an FPSC order, FPL was required to refund, in the form of a one-time credit to retail customers' bills, the 2009 year-end estimated fuel overrecovery; during the first quarter of 2010, approximately $404 million was refunded to retail customers.  At December 31, 2009, approximately $356 million of retail fuel revenues were overrecovered, the reversal of which is reflected as net repayment of previously deferred retail fuel revenues in the table above.  The difference between the refund and the December 31, 2009 overrecovery is being collected from retail customers during 2011.  The decrease in fuel revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 reflects approximately $23 million related to a lower average fuel factor and $11 million related to lower energy sales.  The increase in fuel revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflects the absence of the $404 million refund partly offset by approximately $21 million related to a lower average fuel factor.  The decrease from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 in deferred clause and franchise expenses and in deferred clause and franchise revenues was approximately $71 million and positively affected NextEra Energy's and FPL's cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The major components of FPL's fuel, purchased power and interchange expense are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010			2011		2010
	(millions)
Fuel and energy charges during the period	$	1,249	$	1,458		$	3,363	$	3,732
Net collection of previously deferred retail fuel costs	55		—			42		—
Net deferral of retail fuel costs	—		(120		)	—		(339		)
Other, primarily capacity charges, net of any capacity deferral	175		166			449		423
Total	$	1,479	$	1,504		$	3,854	$	3,816

40

The decrease in fuel and energy charges for the three months ended September 30, 2011 reflects lower fuel and energy prices of approximately $196 million and $13 million attributable to lower energy sales.  The decrease in fuel and energy charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflects lower fuel and energy prices of approximately $309 million and $60 million attributable to lower energy sales.

FPL's O&M expenses increased $30 million and $41 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, primarily due to higher cost recovery clause costs which did not significantly affect net income. The increase in cost recovery clause costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was partly offset by the absence of an approximately $20 million charge for workforce reductions recorded in the second quarter of 2010.

The major components of FPL's depreciation and amortization expense are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011			2010
	(millions)
Surplus depreciation credit	$	47	$	79	$	(84	)	$	—
Other depreciation and amortization recovered under base rates	239		223		699			666
Depreciation and amortization recovered under cost recovery clauses and securitized storm-recovery cost amortization	13		31		38			88
Total	$	299	$	333	$	653		$	754

Under the terms of the 2010 rate agreement, FPL can vary the amount of surplus depreciation credit taken in any calendar year up to a cap in 2010 of $267 million, a cap in subsequent years of $267 million plus the amount of any unused portion from prior years, and a cap of $776 million (surplus depreciation credit cap) over the 2010 to 2012 period.  In any year of the 2010 rate agreement FPL must use at least enough surplus depreciation credit to maintain a 9% earned regulatory ROE but may not use any amount of surplus depreciation credit that would result in an earned regulatory ROE in excess of 11%.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, FPL was required to reverse $47 million of the surplus depreciation credit taken earlier in 2011 in order to comply with the 2010 rate agreement.  The surplus depreciation credit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was recorded prior to the final order approving the 2010 rate agreement.  As of September 30, 2011, approximately $688 million of the surplus depreciation credit cap remains; $446 million of the surplus depreciation credit cap is available for use in the remainder of 2011.  The increase in other depreciation and amortization expense recovered under base rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily due to higher plant in service balances.  The decrease in depreciation and amortization recovered under cost recovery clauses and securitized storm-recovery cost amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily due to lower depreciation and amortization under the FPSC's nuclear cost recovery rule.

Taxes other than income taxes and other decreased $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to a true-up to property tax expense. Taxes other than income taxes and other increased $42 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to higher franchise fees and revenue taxes, both of which are pass-through costs and reflect the increase in fuel and other cost recovery clauses and pass-through costs revenues.  In addition, the increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflects higher property and payroll taxes.  The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily due to higher average debt balances; the increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily due to higher average interest rates.

In May 2011, FPL placed in service WCEC Unit No. 3, a 1,220 mw natural gas-fired combined-cycle unit.  In addition, FPL is in the process of adding a total of approximately 450 mw of capacity at its existing nuclear units at St. Lucie and Turkey Point, which additional capacity is projected to be placed in service by 2013.  Approximately 31 mw of this additional capacity was placed in service in May 2011 at St. Lucie Unit No. 2.  FPL is also in the process of modernizing its Cape Canaveral and Riviera Beach power plants to high-efficiency natural gas-fired units and expects the units to be placed in service by 2013 and 2014, respectively.  Each modernized plant is expected to provide approximately 1,200 mw of capacity.  FPL is in the preliminary stages of pursuing the modernization of its Port Everglades facility to a high-efficiency natural gas-fired unit.  If the project proceeds and the required regulatory approvals are obtained, the proposed in-service date for the Port Everglades facility would be 2016, with an expected cost of approximately $1.2 billion.

NextEra Energy Resources - NextEra Energy Resources’ net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $67 million and $386 million, respectively, a decrease of $319 million.  NextEra Energy Resources’ net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $371 million and $907 million, respectively, a decrease of $536 million.  The primary drivers, on an after-tax basis, of these changes were as follows:

————————————

(a) Includes PTCs and state ITCs on wind projects and, for new investments, deferred income tax (see Note 5) and other benefits associated with convertible ITCs but does not include allocation of interest expense or corporate general and administrative expenses.  Results from new projects are included in new investments during the first twelve months of operation.  A project's results are included in existing assets beginning with the thirteenth month of operation.

(b) Does not include allocation of interest expense or corporate general and administrative expenses.

(c) See Note 2 and discussion above related to derivative instruments.

(d) See table in Summary above for additional detail.

(e) See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

Results from new investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 include approximately $9 million and $17 million, respectively, of deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs; the corresponding amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $26 million and $56 million.  See Note 5.  Results from new investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 also reflect lower state ITCs and, for the nine-month period, the addition of 750 mw of wind generation during or after the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  In addition, an after-tax benefit associated with convertible ITCs of approximately $17 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2011 from the sale of membership interests where the investor elected to receive the convertible ITCs related to the underlying wind project; the $29 million pretax amount of such benefit was recorded in taxes other than income taxes and other in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Results for the three-month period from NextEra Energy Resources' existing asset portfolio reflect unfavorable wind results of approximately $18 million due to a lower wind resource and unfavorable prices primarily in Texas, partly offset by a change in estimate of the useful lives of certain equipment across the wind portfolio and the impact of lower priced hedges at Seabrook of $12 million.  These reductions were substantially offset by favorable results at Point Beach of $19 million due primarily to higher gains on its decommissioning funds, higher generation due to a power uprate which was completed in June 2011 and the absence of an unplanned outage that occurred in 2010.  In addition, fossil operations in Texas contributed $8 million to NextEra Energy Resources' results for the three-month period benefiting from high market prices in August 2011.  Results for the nine-month period from NextEra Energy Resources' existing asset portfolio reflect higher wind results of approximately $84 million due to a higher wind resource, lower depreciation and amortization expense due to a change in estimate of the useful lives of certain equipment across the wind portfolio and $30 million related to the state ITC benefit (see Note 5), partly offset by lower prices, primarily in Texas.  In addition, results for the nine-month period were favorably affected by approximately $20 million from higher prices under a new long-term contract for a natural gas-fired project in California, which is currently held for sale, and byhigher results at Point Beach of $13 million primarily due to higher gains on its decommissioning funds and a higher contract price.  These results were partially offset by lower results at Seabrook of approximately $68 million primarily due to lower priced hedges and an extended refueling outage in 2011.  The effect of the change in estimate of useful lives of certain equipment across the wind portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2011 is expected to reduce depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $75 million, increase net income by $44 million and increase basic and diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.11 (see Note 11).

Results from the customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading businesses for the three- and nine-month periods decreased primarily due to lower full requirements results, lower power and gas trading results, lower results from the retail electricity provider reflecting adverse effects from hot weather in Texas in August 2011 and the absence of a gain on a power supply contract realized in 2010.  The decrease in asset sales for the nine-month period reflects the absence of an after-tax gain of approximately $5 million on a coal-fired project that was recorded in 2010 and the absence of an after-tax gain from the sale of a waste-to-energy project of approximately $12 million recorded in 2010 after the expiration of an option for the buyer to sell the project back to NextEra Energy Resources.

42

Impairment charges for the nine-month period reflect charges taken primarily to write down the value of certain wind and oil-fired generation assets deemed to be unrecoverable.  As a result of a fair value analysis, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of approximately $79 million were written down to their fair value of $28 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $51 million which is recorded as a separate line item in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income; the after-tax amount of the impairment charge reduced NextEra Energy Resources' results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 by $31 million.  See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.  The increase in interest expense, differential membership costs and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflects higher interest expense and other costs to support the growth of the business.

In addition to the primary drivers of net income discussed above, the discussion below describes changes in certain line items set forth in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income as they relate to NextEra Energy Resources.

Operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $356 million primarily due to lower revenues of approximately $307 million from the existing portfolio and NextEra Energy Power Marketing, LLC (PMI), and unrealized mark-to-market losses of $32 million from non-qualifying hedges compared to $26 million of gains on such hedges in 2010.  Operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $629 million primarily due to lower revenues of approximately $650 million at PMI and the existing asset portfolio, due in part to the extended refueling outage at Seabrook and unfavorable market conditions in the New England Power Pool and Electric Reliability Council of Texas regions, and unrealized mark-to-market losses of $13 million from non-qualifying hedges compared to $65 million of gains on such hedges in 2010.  These items were partially offset by higher revenues from project additions of approximately $97 million.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $77 million reflecting lower fuel expense of $239 million partially offset by $23 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses from non-qualifying hedges compared to $160 million of gains from such hedges in 2010.  Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $47 million reflecting $119 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses from non-qualifying hedges compared to $338 million of gains on such hedges in 2010 and impairment charges of $51 million (see Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements), partly offset by lower fuel costs of approximately $418 million and higher benefits associated with differential membership interests.

NextEra Energy Resources' interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $5 million and $17 million, respectively, primarily due to increased borrowings to support the growth of the business.  Gains on disposal of assets -net in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 primarily reflect gains on sales of securities held in NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear decommissioning funds and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, also reflect a pretax gain of approximately $18 million from the sale of the waste-to-energy project.  See Summary above and Note 5 for a discussion of PTCs and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs.

NextEra Energy Resources expects its future portfolio capacity growth to come primarily from wind and solar development and from asset acquisitions.  NextEra Energy Resources plans to add a total of approximately 1,400 mw to 2,000 mw of new wind generation in 2011 and 2012, including 150 mw added to date in 2011.  NextEra Energy Resources plans to add a total of 660 mw of new solar generation during the period 2011 through 2014, including 5 mw added to date in 2011, and approximately 280 mw between 2015 and 2016.  NextEra Energy Resources is in the process of constructing solar thermal facilities with generation capacity of 250 mw in California and 99.8 mw in Spain. In addition, a 550 mw solar photovoltaic project in California, in which NextEra Energy Resources has an equity investment, has commenced construction. The wind and solar expansions are subject to, among other things, continued public policy support, support for the construction and availability of sufficient transmission facilities and capacity, continued market demand, supply chain expansion, access to capital at reasonable cost and on reasonable terms and no changes to federal or state tax policy or incentives.  Currently, in the United States, approximately 30 states and the District of Columbia have renewable portfolio standards requiring electricity providers in the state or district to meet a certain percentage of their retail sales with energy from renewable sources.  These standards vary, but the majority include requirements to meet 10% to 25% of the electricity providers' retail sales with energy from renewable sources by 2025.  NextEra Energy Resources believes that these standards will create incremental demand for renewable energy in the future.

Corporate and Other - Corporate and Other is primarily comprised of interest expense, the operating results of FPL FiberNet and other business activities, as well as corporate interest income and expenses.  Corporate and Other allocates non-utility interest expense and shared service costs to NextEra Energy Resources.  Interest expense is allocated based on a deemed capital structure of 70% debt and, for purposes of allocating non-utility interest expense, the deferred credit associated with differential membership interests sold by NextEra Energy Resources subsidiaries is included with debt.  Each subsidiary's income taxes are calculated based on the "separate return method," except that tax benefits that could not be used on a separate return basis, but are used on the consolidated tax return, are recorded by the subsidiary that generated the tax benefits.  Any remaining consolidated income tax benefits or expenses are recorded at Corporate and Other.  The major components of Corporate and Other's results, on an after-tax basis, are as follows:

43

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
	(millions)
Interest expense, net of allocations to NextEra Energy Resources	$	(19	)	$	(17	)	$	(51	)	$	(46	)
Interest income	9			10			24			32
Federal and state income tax benefits (expenses)	(1		)	26			40			26
Other	4			7			20			11
Net income (loss)	$	(7	)	$	26		$	33		$	23

Federal and state income tax benefits and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflect consolidating tax adjustments and include an approximately $6 million expense associated with the loss on natural gas assets held for sale.  Federal and state income tax benefits and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 also include the state deferred income tax benefit of approximately $64 million, net of federal income taxes, related to state tax law changes.  Federal and state income tax benefits and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflect an income tax benefit of $24 million related to employee benefits and consolidating income tax adjustments. Other includes all other corporate income and expenses, as well as other business activities.  The increase in other for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily due to the absence of a 2010 $12 million after-tax write-down to fair value in the residual value of assets held under leveraged leases; the pretax amount of the write-down of $18 million is reflected in other - net in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income.

NextEra Energy and its subsidiaries, including FPL, require funds to support and grow their businesses.  These funds are used for, among other things, working capital, capital expenditures, investments in or acquisitions of assets and businesses, payment of maturing debt obligations and, from time to time, redemption or repurchase of outstanding debt or equity securities.  It is anticipated that these requirements will be satisfied through a combination of internally generated funds, short- and long-term borrowings, and the issuance, from time to time, of short- and long-term debt and equity securities, consistent with NextEra Energy's and FPL's objective of maintaining, on a long-term basis, a capital structure that will support a strong investment grade credit rating.  NextEra Energy, FPL and Capital Holdings rely on access to credit and capital markets as significant sources of liquidity for capital requirements and other operations that are not satisfied by operating cash flows.  The inability of NextEra Energy, FPL and Capital Holdings to maintain their current credit ratings could affect their ability to raise short- and long-term capital, their cost of capital and the execution of their respective financing strategies, and could require the posting of additional collateral under certain agreements.  In May 2011, Fitch Ratings changed its ratings outlook for NextEra Energy, FPL and Capital Holdings from negative to stable.  For a discussion of NextEra Energy's, FPL's and Capital Holdings' credit ratings, see Management's Discussion - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Credit Ratings in the 2010 Form 10-K for NextEra Energy and FPL.

Available Liquidity - At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy's total net available liquidity was approximately $5.5 billion, of which FPL's portion was approximately $2.8 billion.  The components of each company's net available liquidity at September 30, 2011 were as follows:

————————————

(a) Provide for the funding of loans up to $7,390 million ($2,973 million for FPL) and the issuance of letters of credit up to $6,390 million ($2,473 million for FPL).  The entire amount of the credit facilities is available for general corporate purposes, including to provide back-up liquidity for FPL's and Capital Holdings' commercial paper programs and other short-term borrowings and to provide additional liquidity in the event of a loss to the companies' or their subsidiaries' operating facilities (including, in the case of FPL, a transmission and distribution property loss).  FPL's bank revolving line of credit facilities are also available to support the purchase of $633 million of pollution control, solid waste disposal and industrial development revenue bonds in the event they are tendered by individual bond holders and not remarketed prior to maturity.

(b) $17 million of FPL's and $40 million of Capital Holdings' bank revolving line of credit facilities expire in 2012.  The remaining portion of the bank revolving line of credit facilities for FPL and Capital Holdings expires in 2013.

In April 2011, Capital Holdings and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources entered into a €170 million principal amount variable rate revolving loan agreement maturing in April 2014 (the revolving loan agreement) to finance a portion of the costs associated with constructing two 49.9 mw solar thermal plants and related facilities in Spain (the Spain Solar Project).  As of September 30, 2011, approximately €151 million (approximately $202 million) of the funding commitment under the revolving loan agreement remained available.

In addition, in April 2011, two indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources entered into two senior secured limited-recourse variable rate loan agreements (collectively, project loan agreements), one loan agreement to finance a further portion of the costs associated with constructing the Spain Solar Project (construction loan), and the second loan agreement to finance ongoing value added tax payments associated with the construction of the Spain Solar Project (VAT loan).  The construction loan agreement provides up to approximately €589 million principal amount in borrowings with a maturity date of December 2030.  Concurrent with executing the construction loan agreement, several interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge against interest rate movements with respect to a portion of the projected interest payments with an interest rate cap to hedge the remaining portion of the projected interest payments during the construction period and interest rate hedges to cover the expected outstanding principal balance of the loan after completion of construction.  As of September 30, 2011, approximately €422 million (approximately $565 million) of the funding commitment under the construction loan agreement remained available, and is anticipated to be borrowed on a monthly basis through the completion of construction of the Spain Solar Project.  The VAT loan agreement provides for €40 million in borrowings with a maturity date of no later than April 2015.  As of September 30, 2011, approximately €27 million (approximately $37 million) of the funding commitment under the VAT loan agreement remained available.

In August 2011, in addition to issuing a $702 million limited-recourse note (see cash flow debt issuances and borrowings table below), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources entered into a $150 million variable rate term loan facility and an $83 million letter of credit facility. Proceeds from the borrowings under the term loan facility will be used primarily to finance a portion of the cost associated with the construction of a 250 mw solar thermal facility in California (Genesis Project), and loans under the term loan facility will amortize to maturity in 2019. The letter of credit facility will be used to support certain reserves associated with the financing, as well as to provide security for obligations under power purchase and interconnection agreement obligations relating to the Genesis Project. As of September 30, 2011, the fullamount of the term loan facility and approximately $46 million of the letter of credit facility remained available.

45

As a precondition to borrowing under the terms of the Spain Solar Project revolving loan agreement and the project loan agreements, among other things, NextEra Energy's ratio of funded debt to total capitalization must not exceed a stated ratio. The financing documents relating to the Spain Solar Project and the Genesis Project contain default and related acceleration provisions for, among other things, the failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain covenants (including requirements that construction of the Spain Solar Project and the Genesis Project must be completed by a certain date and for the Spain Solar Project revolving loan agreement, a requirement that NextEra Energy's ratio of funded debt to total capitalization must not exceed the specified ratio), certain bankruptcy-related events, and other actions by the Spain Solar Project and Genesis Project borrowers or other parties as specified in the Spain Solar Project and Genesis Project financing documents.

Until certain conditions or obligations related to the Spain Solar Project and Genesis Project, as the case may be, are met, certain obligations, including all or a portion of the debt payment obligations and, in the case of the Spain Solar Project, any related interest rate hedges, are guaranteed by Capital Holdings, which guarantee obligations are in turn guaranteed by NextEra Energy.  The Capital Holdings guarantee contains default and acceleration provisions relating to, among other things, NextEra Energy's ratio of funded debt to total capitalization exceeding a specified ratio.

NextEra Energy and FPL continue to monitor the development of rules related to the Dodd-Frank Act.  Final rules on OTC derivative-related provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act were statutorily required to be established through U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and SEC rulemakings by July 2011.  While some provisions of the statute related to OTC derivatives are currently in effect, the majority of the rules are not expected to be implemented until 2012 or later.  NextEra Energy and FPL cannot predict the final rules that will be adopted to implement the OTC derivative-related provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.  Those rules could negatively affect NextEra Energy’s and FPL’s ability to hedge their commodity and interest rate risks, which could have a material effect on NextEra Energy’s and FPL’s financial results.  The rules also could cause NextEra Energy Resources to decide to restructure part of its energy marketing and trading operations or to discontinue certain portions of that business.  In addition, if the rules require NextEra Energy and FPL to post cash collateral with respect to swap transactions, NextEra Energy’s and FPL’s liquidity could be materially affected, and their ability to enter into OTC derivatives to hedge commodity and interest rate risks could be significantly limited.  Reporting and compliance requirements of the rules also could significantly increase operating costs and expose NextEra Energy and FPL to penalties for non-compliance.  The financial and operational impact of the final rules cannot be determined at this time, but could be material.

Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Guarantees - NextEra Energy and FPL obtain letters of credit and surety bonds, and issue guarantees, to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties and financings.  At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy had approximately $1.1 billion of standby letters of credit ($10 million for FPL), approximately $99 million of surety bonds ($53 million for FPL) and approximately $12.6 billion notional amount of guarantees ($23 million for FPL), of which approximately $8.1 billion ($15 million for FPL) letters of credit and guarantees have expiration dates within the next five years.  An aggregate of approximately $973 million ($3 million for FPL) of the standby letters of credit at September 30, 2011 were issued under FPL's and Capital Holdings' credit facilities.  See Available Liquidity above.  Letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees support, among other things, the buying and selling of wholesale energy commodities, debt and related reserves, nuclear activities, capital expenditures for wind and solar development and other contractual agreements.  Each of NextEra Energy and FPL believe it is unlikely that it would incur any liabilities associated with these letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees.  Accordingly, at September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy and FPL did not have any liabilities recorded for these letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees.  In addition, NextEra Energy has guaranteed certain payment obligations of Capital Holdings, including most of its debt and all of its debentures and commercial paper issuances, as well as most of its payment guarantees, and Capital Holdings has guaranteed certain debt and other obligations of NextEra Energy Resources and its subsidiaries.  See Note 10 - Commitments.

Cash Flow - The changes in cash and cash equivalents are summarized as follows:

	NextEra Energy						FPL
	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
	(millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	3,117		$	2,769		$	1,748		$	1,612
Net cash used in investing activities	(4,422		)	(3,556		)	(2,168		)	(1,975		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	1,643			1,340			430			317
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	338		$	553		$	10		$	(46	)

NextEra Energy's cash and cash equivalents increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflecting cash generated by operating activities, net issuances of long- and short-term debt, proceeds from the sale of differential membership interests and cash grants received under the Recovery Act. These inflows were partially offset by capital investments by FPL and NextEra Energy Resources, loan proceeds restricted for construction and the payment of common stock dividends to NextEra Energy shareholders.

46

NextEra Energy's cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflect cash generated by net income after the effect of non-cash charges, as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities reflecting changes in other receivables and income taxes due to a cash refund of approximately $278 million received from the IRS related to the IRS settlement and an increase in other taxes at FPL primarily due to property taxes, which are payable in the fourth quarter.  These inflows were partially offset by cash outflows related to materials, supplies and fossil fuel inventory due to additional fuel being purchased to replenish inventory and the acquisition of inventory due to expiring fuel tank leases.

NextEra Energy's cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflect capital investments, including nuclear fuel purchases, of approximately $2.4 billion by FPL to expand and enhance its electric system and generating facilities to continue to provide reliable service to meet the power needs of present and future customers and investments in independent power projects, including nuclear fuel, of approximately $1.8 billion by NextEra Energy Resources.  NextEra Energy's cash flows from investing activities also reflect approximately $596 million of loan proceeds that are restricted for the construction of a solar thermal facility in California and approximately $503 million (comprised of $301 million at NextEra Energy Resources and $202 million at FPL) of cash grants under the Recovery Act, the purchase and sale of restricted securities held in the special use funds, including the reinvestment of fund earnings, as well as other investment activity, primarily at Capital Holdings.  NextEra Energy expects to receive additional cash grants under the Recovery Act during 2011. In addition, NextEra Energy Resources expects to receive net cash proceeds of approximately $825 million, after the repayment of debt, transaction costs and working capital and other adjustments, for the sale of five natural gas-fired generating plants which are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy generated proceeds from financing activities of approximately $4.1 billion, including $210 million in proceeds from the sale of differential membership interests, a net increase in short-term debt of $946 million (comprised of a $639 million increase at Capital Holdings and a $307 million increase at FPL), $39 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock and the following long-term debt issuances and borrowings.

————————————

(a) Variable rate is based on an underlying index plus a margin.

(b) Interest rate swap agreements were entered into with respect to these issuances.

(c) Cross currency basis swap agreements were entered into with respect to both interest and principal payments on this loan.

(d) At September 30, 2011, approximately $596 million of loan proceeds were restricted for the construction of a solar thermal facility and included in other assets on NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy paid approximately $2.4 billion in connection with financing activities, including $1.2 billion in principal payments on Capital Holdings' debt, $406 million in principal payments on NextEra Energy Resources' debt, $45 million in principal payments on FPL's storm-recovery bonds and $689 million for the payment of dividends on NextEra Energy's common stock.

47

In April 2011, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources issued Class B membership interests to two third-party investors.  The NextEra Energy Resources subsidiary has ownership interests in five wind generation facilities with generating capability totaling approximately 483 mw located in Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin.  The NextEra Energy Resources subsidiary received approximately $118 million at closing and will receive future capital contributions from the third-party investors on a quarterly basis through December 31, 2019 based on the amount of PTCs generated by the wind facilities.  The future capital contributions are expected to total approximately $315 million based on projected wind generation.

In June 2011, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources sold Class B membership interests to a third-party investor.  The NextEra Energy Resources subsidiary has ownership interests in a wind generation facility with generating capability totaling 150 mw located in Illinois.  The NextEra Energy Resources subsidiary received approximately $79 million at closing and approximately $98 million in October 2011 when the project received notice regarding the award of its application for a Recovery Act cash grant.

NextEra Energy's cash and cash equivalents increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflecting cash generated by operating activities, net issuances of long-term debt, proceeds from the sale of differential membership interests and cash grants received under the Recovery Act.  These inflows were partially offset by capital investments by FPL and NextEra Energy Resources, a net decrease in short-term debt and the payment of common stock dividends to NextEra Energy shareholders.

Energy Marketing and Trading and Market Risk Sensitivity

Energy Marketing and Trading - Certain of NextEra Energy's subsidiaries, including FPL and NextEra Energy Resources, use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options, futures and forwards) to manage the commodity price risk inherent in the purchase and sale of fuel and electricity.  In addition, NextEra Energy, through NextEra Energy Resources, uses derivatives to optimize the value of power generation assets.  NextEra Energy Resources provides full energy and capacity requirements services primarily to distribution utilities, which include load-following services and various ancillary services, in certain markets and engages in power and gas marketing and trading activities to take advantage of expected future favorable price movements.

48

Derivative instruments, when required to be marked to market, are recorded on NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value.  At FPL, substantially all changes in the derivatives' fair value are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability until the contracts are settled, and, upon settlement, any gains or losses are passed through the fuel clause or the capacity clause.  For NextEra Energy's non-rate regulated operations, predominantly NextEra Energy Resources, unless hedge accounting is applied essentially all changes in the derivatives' fair value for power purchases and sales and trading activities are recognized on a net basis in operating revenues; fuel purchases and sales are recognized on a net basis in fuel, purchased power and interchange expense; and the equity method investees' related activity is recognized in equity in earnings of equity method investees in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income.  See Note 2.

The changes in the fair value of NextEra Energy's consolidated subsidiaries' energy contract derivative instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were as follows:

Market Risk Sensitivity - Financial instruments and positions affecting the financial statements of NextEra Energy and FPL described below are held primarily for purposes other than trading.  Market risk is measured as the potential loss in fair value resulting from hypothetical reasonably possible changes in commodity prices, interest rates, equity prices or currency exchange rates over the next year.  At September 30, 2011, with respect to certain debt issuances and borrowings, Capital Holdings has two cross currency swaps, one to hedge against currency movements with respect to both interest and principal payments and one to hedge against currency and interest rate movements with respect to both interest and principal payments.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of cross currency swaps was approximately $11 million and $44 million, respectively.

NextEra Energy and its subsidiaries are also exposed to credit risk through their energy marketing and trading operations.  Credit risk is the risk that a financial loss will be incurred if a counterparty to a transaction does not fulfill its financial obligation.  NextEra Energy manages counterparty credit risk for its subsidiaries with energy marketing and trading operations through established policies, including counterparty credit limits, and in some cases credit enhancements, such as cash prepayments, letters of credit, cash and other collateral and guarantees.  Credit risk is also managed through the use of master netting agreements.  NextEra Energy's credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates, both on an individual and an aggregate basis.

Management has established risk management policies to monitor and manage market and credit risks.  With respect to commodities, NextEra Energy's Exposure Management Committee (EMC), which is comprised of certain members of senior management, and NextEra Energy's chief executive officer are responsible for the overall approval of market and credit risk management policies and the delegation of approval and authorization levels.  The EMC and NextEra Energy's chief executive officer receive periodic updates on market positions and related exposures, credit exposures and overall risk management activities.

Commodity price risk - NextEra Energy uses a value-at-risk (VaR) model to measure market risk in its trading and mark-to-market portfolios.  The VaR is the estimated nominal loss of market value based on a one-day holding period at a 95% confidence level using historical simulation methodology.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the VaR figures are as follows:

(a) Non-qualifying hedges are employed to reduce the market risk exposure to physical assets or contracts which are not marked to market.  The VaR figures for the non-qualifying hedges and hedges in OCI and FPL cost recovery clauses category do not represent the economic exposure to commodity price movements.

51

Interest rate risk - NextEra Energy and FPL are exposed to risk resulting from changes in interest rates as a result of their respective issuances of debt, investments in special use funds and other investments.  NextEra Energy and FPL manage their respective interest rate exposure by monitoring current interest rates, entering into interest rate swaps and adjusting their variable rate debt in relation to total capitalization.

The following are estimates of the fair value of NextEra Energy's and FPL's financial instruments:

————————————

(a) Based on quoted market prices for these or similar issues.

(b) Based on market prices provided by external sources.

(c) Includes long-term debt, including current maturities of $524 million and net unrealized losses on interest rate swaps of $28 million which are included in liabilities associated with assets held for sale on NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(d) Provided by external sources based on market prices indicative of market conditions.

(e) Modeled internally based on market values using discounted cash flow analysis and credit valuation adjustment.

The special use funds of NextEra Energy and FPL consist of restricted funds set aside to cover the cost of storm damage for FPL and for the decommissioning of NextEra Energy's and FPL's nuclear power plants.  A portion of these funds is invested in fixed income debt securities carried at estimated fair value.  At FPL, changes in fair value, including any other than temporary impairment losses, result in a corresponding adjustment to the related regulatory liability accounts based on current regulatory treatment.  The changes in fair value of NextEra Energy's non-rate regulated operations result in a corresponding adjustment to OCI, except for impairments deemed to be other than temporary, including any credit losses, which are reported in current period earnings.  Because the funds set aside by FPL for storm damage could be needed at any time, the related investments are generally more liquid and, therefore, are less sensitive to changes in interest rates.  The nuclear decommissioning funds, in contrast, are generally invested in longer-term securities, as decommissioning activities are not scheduled to begin until at least 2030 (2032 at FPL).

NextEra Energy and its subsidiaries use a combination of fixed rate and variable rate debt to manage interest rate exposure.  Interest rate swaps are used to mitigate and adjust interest rate exposure when deemed appropriate based upon market conditions or when required by financing agreements.  At September 30, 2011, the estimated fair value of NextEra Energy's interest rate swaps was as follows:

(j) Three-month Banker's Acceptance Rate.

(k) In September 2011, hedge accounting ceased because forecasted transaction is no longer probable as NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in a portfolio of natural gas-fired generating plants. See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.

(l) One-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor).

(m) Six-month Euribor.

(n) Rate varies over time from 0.4914% to 3.0048%.

Based upon a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, which is a reasonable near-term market change, the net fair value of NextEra Energy's net liabilities would increase by approximately $965 million ($388 million for FPL) at September 30, 2011.

53

Equity price risk - Included in the nuclear decommissioning reserve funds of NextEra Energy are marketable equity securities carried at estimated fair value of approximately $1,781 million and $2,041 million ($1,127 million and $1,262 million for FPL) at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  A hypothetical 10% decrease in the prices quoted by stock exchanges, which is a reasonable near-term market change, would result in a $164 million ($105 million for FPL) reduction in fair value and corresponding adjustments to the related regulatory liability accounts based on current regulatory treatment for FPL, or adjustments to OCI for NextEra Energy's non-rate regulated operations, at September 30, 2011.

Credit risk - For all derivative and contractual transactions, NextEra Energy's energy marketing and trading operations, which includes FPL's energy marketing and trading division, are exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to these transactions.  Relevant considerations when assessing NextEra Energy's energy marketing and trading operations' credit risk exposure include:

• Operations are primarily concentrated in the energy industry.

• Trade receivables and other financial instruments are predominately with energy, utility and financial services related companies, as well as municipalities, cooperatives and other trading companies in the United States.

• Overall credit risk is managed through established credit policies and is overseen by the EMC.

• Prospective and existing customers are reviewed for creditworthiness based upon established standards, with customers not meeting minimum standards providing various credit enhancements or secured payment terms, such as letters of credit or the posting of margin cash collateral.

• The use of master netting agreements to offset cash and non-cash gains and losses arising from derivative instruments with the same counterparty.  NextEra Energy's policy is to have master netting agreements in place with significant counterparties.

Based on NextEra Energy's policies and risk exposures related to credit, NextEra Energy and FPL do not anticipate a material adverse effect on their financial statements as a result of counterparty nonperformance.  As of September 30, 2011, approximately 97% of NextEra Energy's and 100% of FPL's energy marketing and trading counterparty credit risk exposure is associated with companies that have investment grade credit ratings.

See Management's Discussion - Energy Marketing and Trading and Market Risk Sensitivity - Market Risk Sensitivity.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2011, each of NextEra Energy and FPL had performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including NextEra Energy's and FPL's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of each company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of each of NextEra Energy and FPL concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

NextEra Energy and FPL are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations and of their internal controls.  This results in refinements to processes throughout NextEra Energy and FPL.  In July 2011, FPL converted to a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that was already in use at NextEra Energy and NextEra Energy Resources. In conjunction with this ERP implementation, FPL has made changes to the design, operation and documentation of its processes as they relate to internal control over financial reporting.

————————————

(a) At September 30, 2011, includes $150 million of investments accounted for under the equity method and $40 million of loans not measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($105 million and $25 million, respectively, for FPL).  At December 31, 2010, includes $76 million of investments accounted for under the equity method and $17 million of loans not measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($94 million and $11 million, respectively, for FPL).  For the remaining balances, see Note 3 for classification by major security type.  The amortized cost of debt and equity securities is $1,645 million and $1,405 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011 and $1,616 million and $1,489 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010 ($1,317 million and $859 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011 and $1,281 million and $943 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010 for FPL).

(b) Based on quoted market prices for these or similar issues.

(c) Classified as held to maturity.  Based on market prices provided by external sources.  Notes receivable bear interest primarily at fixed rates and mature from 2014 to 2029.  Notes receivable are considered impaired and placed in non-accrual status when it becomes probable that all amounts due cannot be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement.  The assessment to place notes receivable in non-accrual status considers various credit indicators, such as credit standings and ratings and market-related information.  As of September 30, 2011, neither NextEra Energy nor FPL had any notes receivable reported in non-accrual status.

(d) Classified as trading securities.

(e) Modeled internally based on latest market data.

(f) Exclude balances related to liabilities associated with assets held for sale. See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.

(g) Provided by external sources based on market prices indicative of market conditions.

(h) Modeled internally based on market values using discounted cash flow analysis and credit valuation adjustment.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]

Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

7.  Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

As of September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy has nine VIEs which it consolidates and has interests in certain other VIEs which it does not consolidate.

FPL - FPL is considered the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidates, a VIE that is a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose subsidiary that it formed in 2007 for the sole purpose of issuing storm-recovery bonds pursuant to the securitization provisions of the Florida Statutes and a financing order of the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC).  FPL is considered the primary beneficiary because FPL has the power to direct the significant activities of the VIE, and its equity investment, which is subordinate to the bondholder's interest in the VIE, is at risk.  Storm restoration costs incurred by FPL during 2005 and 2004 exceeded the amount in FPL's funded storm and property insurance reserve, resulting in a storm reserve deficiency.  In 2007, the VIE issued $652 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured bonds (storm-recovery bonds), primarily for the after-tax equivalent of the total of FPL's unrecovered balance of the 2004 storm restoration costs, the 2005 storm restoration costs and approximately $200 million to reestablish FPL's storm and property insurance reserve.  In connection with this financing, net proceeds, after debt issuance costs, to the VIE (approximately $644 million) were used to acquire the storm-recovery property, which includes the right to impose, collect and receive a storm-recovery charge from all customers receiving electric transmission or distribution service from FPL under rate schedules approved by the FPSC or under special contracts, certain other rights and interests that arise under the financing order issued by the FPSC and certain other collateral pledged by the VIE that issued the bonds.  The storm-recovery bonds are payable only from and are secured by the storm-recovery property.  The bondholders have no recourse to the general credit of FPL.  The assets of the VIE were approximately $396 million and $444 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and consisted primarily of storm-recovery property, which are included in securitized storm-recovery costs on NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The liabilities of the VIE were approximately $490 million and $542 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and consisted primarily of storm-recovery bonds, which are included in long-term debt on NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

FPL identified a potential VIE, which is considered a qualifying facility as defined by the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as amended (PURPA).  PURPA requires utilities, such as FPL, to purchase the electricity output of a qualifying facility.  FPL entered into a PPA effective in 1994 with this 250 megawatt (mw) coal-fired qualifying facility to purchase substantially all of the facility's capacity and electrical output over a substantial portion of its estimated useful life.  FPL absorbs a portion of the facility's variability related to changes in the market price of coal through the price it pays per mwh (energy payment).  After making exhaustive efforts, FPL was unable to obtain the information from the facility necessary to determine whether the facility is a VIE or whether FPL is the primary beneficiary of the facility.  The PPA with the facility contains no provision which legally obligates the facility to release this information to FPL.  The energy payments paid by FPL will fluctuate as coal prices change.  This fluctuation does not expose FPL to losses since the energy payments paid by FPL to the facility are passed on to FPL's customers through the fuel clause as approved by the FPSC.  Notwithstanding the fact that FPL's energy payments are recovered through the fuel clause, if the facility was determined to be a VIE, the absorption of some of the facility's fuel price variability might cause FPL to be considered the primary beneficiary.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, FPL purchased 327,583 mwh and 462,021 mwh, respectively, from the facility at a total cost of approximately $50 million and $49 million, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, FPL purchased 965,105 mwh and 1,197,563 mwh, respectively, from the facility at a total cost of approximately $144 million and $140 million, respectively.

Additionally, FPL entered into a PPA effective in 1995 with a 330 mw coal-fired qualifying facility to purchase substantially all of the facility's electrical output over a substantial portion of its estimated useful life.  The facility is considered a VIE because FPL absorbs a portion of the facility’s variability related to changes in the market price of coal through the energy payment.  Since FPL does not control the most significant activities of the facility, including operations and maintenance, FPL is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate this VIE.  The energy payments paid by FPL will fluctuate as coal prices change.  This fluctuation does not expose FPL to losses since the energy payments paid by FPL to the facility are passed on to FPL’s customers through the fuel clause as approved by the FPSC.

NextEra Energy Resources - NextEra Energy consolidates eight NextEra Energy Resources’ VIEs.  NextEra Energy Resources is considered the primary beneficiary of these VIEs since NextEra Energy Resources controls the most significant activities of these VIEs, including operations and maintenance, and through its 100% equity ownership has the obligation to absorb expected losses of these VIEs.

Three of NextEra Energy Resources’ VIEs consolidate several entities which own and operate natural gas and/or oil electric generating facilities with the capability of producing a total of 1,285 mw.  These VIEs sell their electric output under power sales contracts to third parties, with expiration dates ranging from 2018 through 2022.  The power sales contracts provide the offtaker the ability to dispatch the facilities and require the offtaker to absorb the cost of fuel.  These VIEs use third party debt and equity to finance their operations.  The debt is secured by liens against the generating facilities and the other assets of these entities.  The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NextEra Energy Resources. In September 2011, NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in certain natural gas-fired generating plants (see Note 3), including two of the three VIEs. At September 30, 2011, the assets and liabilities of these two VIEs are included in assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale on NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled approximately $759 million and $387 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt. At December 31, 2010, the assets and liabilities of these two VIEs totaled approximately $730 million and $373 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt. The assets and liabilities of the third remaining natural gas/oil VIE were approximately $101 million and $81 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011 and $99 million and $82 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt.

The other five NextEra Energy Resources’ VIEs consolidate several entities which own and operate wind electric generating facilities with the capability of producing a total of 1,710 mw and an entity which owns and operates a 78 mile, 230 kilovolt transmission line.  These VIEs sell their electric output under power sales contracts to third parties with expiration dates ranging from 2018 through 2034.  The VIEs use third-party debt and/or equity to finance their operations.  Certain investors that hold no equity interest in the VIEs hold differential membership interests, which give them the right to receive a portion of the economic attributes of the generating facilities, including certain tax attributes.  The debt is secured by liens against the generating facilities and the other assets of these entities.  The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NextEra Energy Resources.  The assets and liabilities of these VIEs totaled approximately $2.9 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2011.  Three of the VIEs were consolidated at December 31, 2010, and the assets and liabilities of those VIEs totaled approximately $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2010.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the assets and liabilities of the VIEs consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment, deferral related to differential membership interests and long-term debt.

Other - As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, several NextEra Energy subsidiaries have investments totaling approximately $680 million ($531 million at FPL) and $646 million ($480 million at FPL), respectively, in certain special purpose entities, which consisted primarily of investments in mortgage-backed securities.  These investments are included in special use funds and other investments on NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated balance sheets and in special use funds on FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets.  As of September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy subsidiaries are not the primary beneficiary and therefore do not consolidate any of these entities because they do not control any of the ongoing activities of these entities, were not involved in the initial design of these entities and do not have a controlling financial interest in these entities. Prior to September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy consolidated one of these entities; however, NextEra Energy is no longer the primary beneficiary of this entity and therefore no longer consolidates this entity. Upon deconsolidation, NextEra Energy's investment in this entity is accounted for under the equity method. NextEra Energy did not recognize any gain or loss and there was no significant effect on NextEra Energy's consolidated balance sheets as a result of the deconsolidation.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

3.  Fair Value Measurements

NextEra Energy and FPL use several different valuation techniques to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities, relying primarily on the market approach of using prices and other market information for identical and/or comparable assets and liabilities for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  NextEra Energy's and FPL's assessment of the significance of any particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.  Non-performance risk is also considered in the determination of fair value for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the consideration of a credit valuation adjustment.

Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.  NextEra Energy and FPL primarily hold investments in money market funds.  The fair value of these funds is calculated using current market prices.

Special Use Funds and Other Investments - NextEra Energy and FPL hold primarily debt and equity securities directly, as well as indirectly through commingled funds.  Substantially all directly held equity securities are valued at their quoted market prices.  For directly held debt securities, multiple prices and price types are obtained from pricing vendors whenever possible, which enables cross-provider validations.  A primary price source is identified based on asset type, class or issue of each security.  Commingled funds, which are similar to mutual funds, are maintained by banks or investment companies and hold certain investments in accordance with a stated set of objectives.  The fair value of commingled funds is primarily derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities.  Because the fund shares are offered to a limited group of investors, they are not considered to be traded in an active market.

Derivative Instruments - NextEra Energy and FPL measure the fair value of commodity contracts on a daily basis using prices observed on commodities exchanges and in the OTC markets, or through the use of industry-standard valuation techniques, such as option modeling or discounted cash flows techniques, incorporating both observable and unobservable valuation inputs.  The resulting measurements are the best estimate of fair value as represented by the transfer of the asset or liability through an orderly transaction in the marketplace at the measurement date.

Exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities are valued directly using unadjusted quoted prices.  For exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities where the principal market is deemed to be inactive based on average daily volumes and open interest, the measurement is established using settlement prices from the exchanges, and therefore considered to be valued using significant other observable inputs.

NextEra Energy and FPL also enter into OTC commodity contract derivatives.  The majority of these contracts are transacted at liquid trading points, and the prices for these contracts are verified using quoted prices in active markets from exchanges, brokers or pricing services for similar contracts.  In instances where the reference exchange markets are deemed to be inactive or do not have a similar contract that trades on an exchange, the derivative assets and liabilities may be valued using significant other observable inputs and potentially significant unobservable inputs.  In such instances, the valuation for these contracts is established using techniques including extrapolation from or interpolation between actively traded contracts, or estimated basis adjustments from liquid trading points.

NextEra Energy, through NextEra Energy Resources, also enters into full requirements contracts, which, in many cases, meet the definition of derivatives and are measured at fair value.  These contracts typically have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation of the contract.  In addition, certain exchange and non-exchange traded derivative options at NextEra Energy have one or more significant inputs that are not observable, and are valued using industry-standard option models.

In all cases where NextEra Energy and FPL use significant unobservable inputs for the valuation of a commodity contract, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.  This includes, but is not limited to, assumptions about market liquidity, volatility and contract duration.

NextEra Energy uses interest rate and foreign currency swaps to mitigate and adjust interest rate and foreign currency exposure related to certain outstanding and forecasted debt issuances and borrowings.  NextEra Energy estimates the fair value of these derivatives using a discounted cash flows valuation technique based on the net amount of estimated future cash inflows and outflows related to the swap agreements.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements - NextEra Energy's and FPL's financial assets and liabilities and other fair value measurements made on a recurring basis by fair value hierarchy level are as follows:

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements - NextEra Energy tests long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  In the second quarter of 2011, recent market value indications and the impact of newly proposed environmental regulations suggested that the carrying value of certain NextEra Energy Resources' assets, primarily wind assets in West Texas and oil-fired assets in Maine, may be impaired.  NextEra Energy Resources performed a fair value analysis and concluded that an impairment charge related to the long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, was necessary.  The fair value analysis was primarily based on the income approach using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) including revenue and generation forecasts, projected capital and maintenance expenditures and discount rates.  As a result, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of approximately $79 million were written down to their fair value of $28 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $51 million ($31 million after-tax), which is recorded as a separate line item in NextEra Energy’s condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

In September 2011, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in four natural gas-fired generating plants with a total generating capacity of 2,152 mw located in California, Virginia, Alabama and South Carolina. A NextEra Energy Resources affiliate will continue to operate three of the facilities included in the sale under service contracts for a five-year period and the fourth facility for a two-year period. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011, contingent upon receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and third-party consents.

In connection with the agreement to sell, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, a loss of approximately $148 million ($97 million after-tax) was recorded in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income consisting of the impact of writing down the net assets held for sale to their estimated fair value less costs to sell and the reclassification of $30 million from AOCI as a result of the discontinuance of certain cash flow hedges because it became probable that the related forecasted transactions being hedged would not occur. See Note 2. The fair value measurement (Level 3) was based on the negotiated sales price and the estimated costs to sell. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities related to the four plants that were classified as held for sale on NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

	September 30, 2011
	(millions)
Property, plant and equipment - net	$	856
Current assets	147
Other assets	89
Assets held for sale	$	1,092
Long-term debt	$	488
Current liabilities	87
Other liabilities and deferred credits	21
Liabilities associated with assets held for sale	$	596

Derivative assets and derivative liabilities with carrying values and estimated fair values of approximately $12 million and $28 million, respectively, are included in the assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale at September 30, 2011. The derivative assets consist of a commodity contract which is subject to recurring fair value measurements based on Level 3 inputs and the derivative liabilities consist of interest rate swap agreements which are subject to recurring fair value measurements based on Level 2 inputs.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities

Fair Value Measurements

NextEra Energy and FPL use several different valuation techniques to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities, relying primarily on the market approach of using prices and other market information for identical and/or comparable assets and liabilities for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  NextEra Energy's and FPL's assessment of the significance of any particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.  Non-performance risk is also considered in the determination of fair value for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the consideration of a credit valuation adjustment.

Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.  NextEra Energy and FPL primarily hold investments in money market funds.  The fair value of these funds is calculated using current market prices.

Special Use Funds and Other Investments - NextEra Energy and FPL hold primarily debt and equity securities directly, as well as indirectly through commingled funds.  Substantially all directly held equity securities are valued at their quoted market prices.  For directly held debt securities, multiple prices and price types are obtained from pricing vendors whenever possible, which enables cross-provider validations.  A primary price source is identified based on asset type, class or issue of each security.  Commingled funds, which are similar to mutual funds, are maintained by banks or investment companies and hold certain investments in accordance with a stated set of objectives.  The fair value of commingled funds is primarily derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities.  Because the fund shares are offered to a limited group of investors, they are not considered to be traded in an active market.

Derivative Instruments - NextEra Energy and FPL measure the fair value of commodity contracts on a daily basis using prices observed on commodities exchanges and in the OTC markets, or through the use of industry-standard valuation techniques, such as option modeling or discounted cash flows techniques, incorporating both observable and unobservable valuation inputs.  The resulting measurements are the best estimate of fair value as represented by the transfer of the asset or liability through an orderly transaction in the marketplace at the measurement date.

Exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities are valued directly using unadjusted quoted prices.  For exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities where the principal market is deemed to be inactive based on average daily volumes and open interest, the measurement is established using settlement prices from the exchanges, and therefore considered to be valued using significant other observable inputs.

NextEra Energy and FPL also enter into OTC commodity contract derivatives.  The majority of these contracts are transacted at liquid trading points, and the prices for these contracts are verified using quoted prices in active markets from exchanges, brokers or pricing services for similar contracts.  In instances where the reference exchange markets are deemed to be inactive or do not have a similar contract that trades on an exchange, the derivative assets and liabilities may be valued using significant other observable inputs and potentially significant unobservable inputs.  In such instances, the valuation for these contracts is established using techniques including extrapolation from or interpolation between actively traded contracts, or estimated basis adjustments from liquid trading points.

NextEra Energy, through NextEra Energy Resources, also enters into full requirements contracts, which, in many cases, meet the definition of derivatives and are measured at fair value.  These contracts typically have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation of the contract.  In addition, certain exchange and non-exchange traded derivative options at NextEra Energy have one or more significant inputs that are not observable, and are valued using industry-standard option models.

In all cases where NextEra Energy and FPL use significant unobservable inputs for the valuation of a commodity contract, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.  This includes, but is not limited to, assumptions about market liquidity, volatility and contract duration.

NextEra Energy uses interest rate and foreign currency swaps to mitigate and adjust interest rate and foreign currency exposure related to certain outstanding and forecasted debt issuances and borrowings.  NextEra Energy estimates the fair value of these derivatives using a discounted cash flows valuation technique based on the net amount of estimated future cash inflows and outflows related to the swap agreements.

These estimates are subject to continuing review and adjustment and actual capital expenditures may vary significantly from these estimates.

At September 30, 2011, subsidiaries of NextEra Energy, other than FPL, in the normal course of business, have guaranteed certain debt service and fuel payments of non-consolidated entities of NextEra Energy Resources.  The terms of the guarantees relating to the non-consolidated entities are equal to the terms of the related agreements, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to six years.  The maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these guarantees at September 30, 2011 was approximately $50 million.  At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy did not have any liabilities recorded for these guarantees.  In certain instances, NextEra Energy can seek recourse from third parties for amounts paid under the guarantees.  At September 30, 2011, the fair value of the guarantees was not material.  In addition to the guarantees relating to non-consolidated entities, NextEra Energy has guaranteed certain payment obligations of Capital Holdings, including most payment obligations under Capital Holdings' debt and guarantees.

Contracts - In addition to the estimated planned capital expenditures included in the table in Commitments above, FPL has commitments under long-term purchased power and fuel contracts.  FPL is obligated under take-or-pay purchased power contracts with JEA and with subsidiaries of The Southern Company (Southern subsidiaries) to pay for approximately 1,330 mw annually through 2015 and 375 mw annually thereafter through 2021.  FPL also has various firm pay-for-performance contracts to purchase approximately 650 mw from certain cogenerators and small power producers (qualifying facilities) with expiration dates ranging from 2024 through 2032.  The purchased power contracts provide for capacity and energy payments.  Energy payments are based on the actual power taken under these contracts.  Capacity payments for the pay-for-performance contracts are subject to the qualifying facilities meeting certain contract conditions.  FPL has one agreement with an electricity supplier to purchase approximately 155 mw of power with an expiration date of 2012.  In general, the agreement requires FPL to make a capacity payment and supply the fuel consumed by the plant under the contract.  FPL has contracts with expiration dates through 2036 for the purchase and transportation of natural gas and coal, and storage of natural gas.

NextEra Energy Resources has entered into contracts primarily for the purchase of wind turbines and towers, solar reflectors, steam turbine generators and heat collection elements and related construction and development activities, as well as for the supply of uranium, conversion, enrichment and fabrication of nuclear fuel, with expiration dates ranging from December 2011 through 2031, approximately $2.6 billion of which is included in the estimated planned capital expenditures table in Commitments above.  In addition, NextEra Energy Resources has contracts primarily for the purchase, transportation and storage of natural gas and firm transmission service with expiration dates ranging from 2012 through 2033.

The transmission business included in Corporate and Other has entered into contracts primarily for development and construction activities relating to Lone Star's transmission line, all of which is included in the estimated planned capital expenditures table in Commitments above.

The required capacity and/or minimum payments under the contracts discussed above as of September 30, 2011 were estimated as follows:

————————————

(a) Capacity payments under these contracts, substantially all of which are recoverable through the capacity clause, totaled approximately $128 million and $126 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $383 million and $412 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Energy payments under these contracts, which are recoverable through the fuel clause, totaled approximately $135 million and $139 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $348 million and $352 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(b) Recoverable through the fuel clause.

(c) Includes termination payments associated with wind turbine contracts for projects that have not yet received applicable internal approvals.

Insurance - Liability for accidents at nuclear power plants is governed by the Price-Anderson Act, which limits the liability of nuclear reactor owners to the amount of insurance available from both private sources and an industry retrospective payment plan.  In accordance with this Act, NextEra Energy maintains $375 million of private liability insurance per site, which is the maximum obtainable, and participates in a secondary financial protection system, which provides up to $12.2 billion of liability insurance coverage per incident at any nuclear reactor in the United States.  Under the secondary financial protection system, NextEra Energy is subject to retrospective assessments of up to $940 million ($470 million for FPL), plus any applicable taxes, per incident at any nuclear reactor in the United States, payable at a rate not to exceed $140 million ($70 million for FPL) per incident per year.  NextEra Energy and FPL are contractually entitled to recover a proportionate share of such assessments from the owners of minority interests in Seabrook, Duane Arnold Energy Center (Duane Arnold) and St. Lucie Unit No. 2, which approximates $14 million, $35 million and $18 million, plus any applicable taxes, per incident, respectively.

NextEra Energy participates in a nuclear insurance mutual company that provides $2.75 billion of limited insurance coverage per occurrence per site for property damage, decontamination and premature decommissioning risks at its nuclear plants.  The proceeds from such insurance, however, must first be used for reactor stabilization and site decontamination before they can be used for plant repair.  NextEra Energy also participates in an insurance program that provides limited coverage for replacement power costs if a nuclear plant is out of service for an extended period of time because of an accident.  In the event of an accident at one of NextEra Energy's or another participating insured's nuclear plants, NextEra Energy could be assessed up to $165 million ($93 million for FPL), plus any applicable taxes, in retrospective premiums in a policy year.  NextEra Energy and FPL are contractually entitled to recover a proportionate share of such assessments from the owners of minority interests in Seabrook, Duane Arnold and St. Lucie Unit No. 2, which approximates $2 million, $4 million and $3 million, plus any applicable taxes, respectively.

Due to the high cost and limited coverage available from third-party insurers, NextEra Energy does not have insurance coverage for a substantial portion of its transmission and distribution property and has no insurance coverage for FPL FiberNet's fiber-optic cable.  Should FPL's future storm restoration costs exceed the reserve amount established through the issuance of storm-recovery bonds by a VIE in 2007, FPL may recover storm restoration costs, subject to prudence review by the FPSC, either through surcharges approved by the FPSC or through securitization provisions pursuant to Florida law.

In the event of a loss, the amount of insurance available might not be adequate to cover property damage and other expenses incurred.  Uninsured losses and other expenses, to the extent not recovered from customers in the case of FPL, would be borne by NextEra Energy and FPL and could have a material adverse effect on NextEra Energy's and FPL's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Legal Proceedings - In November 1999, the Attorney General of the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), brought an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Georgia Power Company and other subsidiaries of The Southern Company for certain alleged violations of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) provisions and the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) of the Clean Air Act.  In May 2001, the EPA amended its complaint to allege, among other things, that Georgia Power Company constructed and is continuing to operate Scherer Unit No. 4, in which FPL owns a 76% interest, without obtaining a PSD permit, without complying with NSPS requirements, and without applying best available control technology for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxides and particulate matter as required by the Clean Air Act.  It also alleges that unspecified major modifications have been made at Scherer Unit No. 4 that require its compliance with the aforementioned Clean Air Act provisions.  The EPA seeks injunctive relief requiring the installation of best available control technology and civil penalties.  Under the EPA's civil penalty rules, the EPA could assess up to $25,000 per day for each violation from an unspecified date after June 1, 1975 through January 30, 1997, up to $27,500 per day for each violation from January 31, 1997 through March 15, 2004, up to $32,500 per day for each violation from March 16, 2004 through January 12, 2009 and up to $37,500 per day for each violation thereafter.  Georgia Power Company has answered the amended complaint, asserting that it has complied with all requirements of the Clean Air Act, denying the plaintiff's allegations of liability, denying that the plaintiff is entitled to any of the relief that it seeks and raising various other defenses.  In June 2001, a federal district court stayed discovery and administratively closed the case and the EPA has not yet moved to reopen the case.  In April 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court in a separate unrelated case rejected an argument that a "major modification" occurs at a plant only when there is a resulting increase in the hourly rate of air emissions.  Georgia Power Company has made a similar argument in defense of its case, but has other factual and legal defenses that are unaffected by the U.S. Supreme Court's decision.

In 1995 and 1996, NextEra Energy, through an indirect subsidiary, purchased from Adelphia Communications Corporation (Adelphia) 1,091,524 shares of Adelphia common stock and 20,000 shares of Adelphia preferred stock (convertible into 2,358,490 shares of Adelphia common stock) for an aggregate price of approximately $35,900,000.  On January 29, 1999, Adelphia repurchased all of these shares for $149,213,130 in cash.  In June 2004, Adelphia, Adelphia Cablevision, L.L.C. and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Adelphia filed a complaint against NextEra Energy and its indirect subsidiary in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York.  The complaint alleges that the repurchase of these shares by Adelphia was a fraudulent transfer, in that at the time of the transaction Adelphia (i) was insolvent or was rendered insolvent, (ii) did not receive reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the cash it paid, and (iii) was engaged or about to engage in a business or transaction for which any property remaining with Adelphia had unreasonably small capital.  The complaint seeks the recovery for the benefit of Adelphia's bankruptcy estate of the cash paid for the repurchased shares, plus interest from January 29, 1999.  NextEra Energy has filed an answer to the complaint.  NextEra Energy believes that the complaint is without merit because, among other reasons, Adelphia will be unable to demonstrate that (i) Adelphia's repurchase of shares from NextEra Energy, which repurchase was at the market value for those shares, was not for reasonably equivalent value, (ii) Adelphia was insolvent at the time of the repurchase, or (iii) the repurchase left Adelphia with unreasonably small capital.  The trial has been indefinitely continued pending resolution of a jurisdictional issue.

In October 2004, TXU Portfolio Management Company (TXU) served FPL Energy Pecos Wind I, LP, FPL Energy Pecos Wind I GP, LLC, FPL Energy Pecos Wind II, LP, FPL Energy Pecos Wind II GP, LLC and Indian Mesa Wind Farm, LP (NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates) as defendants in a civil action filed in the District Court in Dallas County, Texas.  FPL Energy, LLC, now known as NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, was added as a defendant in 2005.  The petition alleged that the NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates had contractual obligations to produce and sell to TXU a minimum quantity of energy and renewable energy credits each year during the period from 2002 through 2005 and that the NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates failed to meet this obligation.  The plaintiff asserted claims for breach of contract and declaratory judgment and sought damages of approximately $34 million.  Following a jury trial in 2007, among other findings, both TXU and the NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates were found to have breached the contracts.  In August 2008, the trial court issued a final judgment holding that the contracts were not terminated and neither party was entitled to recover any damages.  In November 2008, TXU appealed the final judgment to the Fifth District Court of Appeals in Dallas, Texas.  In an opinion issued in July 2010, the appellate court reversed portions of the trial court's judgment, ruling that the contracts' liquidated damage provision is an enforceable liquidated damage clause.  The appellate court has remanded the case back to the trial court for further proceedings to determine the amount of damages payable by the NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates.  The NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates filed a motion for rehearing of the appellate court’s decision, which motion was denied.  In April 2011, the NextEra Energy Resources Affiliates filed a petition for review of the appellate court decision with the Texas Supreme Court, which petition is pending.

NextEra Energy and FPL are vigorously defending, and believe that they or their affiliates have meritorious defenses to, the lawsuits described above.  In addition to the legal proceedings discussed above, NextEra Energy and its subsidiaries, including FPL, are involved in other legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims in the ordinary course of their businesses.  Generating plants in which NextEra Energy or FPL has an ownership interest are also involved in legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims, the liabilities from which, if any, would be shared by NextEra Energy or FPL.  In the event that NextEra Energy and FPL, or their affiliates, do not prevail in the lawsuits described above or these other legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims, there may be a material adverse effect on their financial statements.  While management is unable to predict with certainty the outcome of the lawsuits described above or these other legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims, based on current knowledge it is not expected that their ultimate resolution, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of NextEra Energy or FPL.

Financial Instruments

4.  Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents and commercial paper approximate their fair values.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, other investments of NextEra Energy, not included in the table below, included financial instruments of approximately $75 million and $97 million ($4 million and $4 million at FPL), respectively, including $41 million and $48 million included in current other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (none at FPL), which primarily consist of notes receivable that are carried at estimated fair value or cost, which approximates fair value.

The following estimates of the fair value of financial instruments have been made primarily using available market information.  However, the use of different market assumptions or methods of valuation could result in different estimated fair values.

(a) At September 30, 2011, includes $150 million of investments accounted for under the equity method and $40 million of loans not measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($105 million and $25 million, respectively, for FPL).  At December 31, 2010, includes $76 million of investments accounted for under the equity method and $17 million of loans not measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($94 million and $11 million, respectively, for FPL).  For the remaining balances, see Note 3 for classification by major security type.  The amortized cost of debt and equity securities is $1,645 million and $1,405 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011 and $1,616 million and $1,489 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010 ($1,317 million and $859 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011 and $1,281 million and $943 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010 for FPL).

(b) Based on quoted market prices for these or similar issues.

(c) Classified as held to maturity.  Based on market prices provided by external sources.  Notes receivable bear interest primarily at fixed rates and mature from 2014 to 2029.  Notes receivable are considered impaired and placed in non-accrual status when it becomes probable that all amounts due cannot be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement.  The assessment to place notes receivable in non-accrual status considers various credit indicators, such as credit standings and ratings and market-related information.  As of September 30, 2011, neither NextEra Energy nor FPL had any notes receivable reported in non-accrual status.

(d) Classified as trading securities.

(e) Modeled internally based on latest market data.

(f) Exclude balances related to liabilities associated with assets held for sale. See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.

(g) Provided by external sources based on market prices indicative of market conditions.

(h) Modeled internally based on market values using discounted cash flow analysis and credit valuation adjustment.

Special Use Funds - The special use funds consist of FPL's storm fund assets of $129 million and NextEra Energy's and FPL's nuclear decommissioning fund assets of $3,539 million and $2,482 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011.  The majority of investments held in the special use funds consist of equity and debt securities which are classified as available for sale and are carried at estimated fair value (see Note 3).  For FPL's special use funds, consistent with regulatory treatment, changes in fair value, including any other than temporary impairment losses, result in a corresponding adjustment to the related regulatory liability accounts.  For NextEra Energy's non-rate regulated operations, changes in fair value result in a corresponding adjustment to OCI, except for unrealized losses associated with marketable securities considered to be other than temporary, including any credit losses, which are recognized as other than temporary impairment losses on securities held in nuclear decommissioning funds and included in Other - net in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income.  Debt securities included in the nuclear decommissioning funds have a weighted-average maturity at September 30, 2011 of approximately six years at both NextEra Energy and FPL.  FPL's storm fund primarily consists of debt securities with a weighted-average maturity at September 30, 2011 of approximately three years.  The cost of securities sold is determined using the specific identification method.

Realized gains and losses and proceeds from the sale or maturity of available for sale securities are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,

Regulations issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provide general risk management guidelines to protect nuclear decommissioning funds and to allow such funds to earn a reasonable return.  The FERC regulations prohibit, among other investments, investments in any securities of NextEra Energy or its subsidiaries, affiliates or associates, excluding investments tied to market indices or mutual funds.  Similar restrictions applicable to the decommissioning funds for NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear plants are included in the NRC operating licenses for those facilities or in NRC regulations applicable to NRC licensees not in cost-of-service environments.  With respect to the decommissioning fund for NextEra Energy Resources' Seabrook Station (Seabrook), decommissioning fund contributions and withdrawals are also regulated by the Nuclear Decommissioning Financing Committee pursuant to New Hampshire law.

The nuclear decommissioning reserve funds are managed by investment managers who must comply with the guidelines of NextEra Energy and FPL and the rules of the applicable regulatory authorities.  The funds' assets are invested giving consideration to taxes, liquidity, risk, diversification and other prudent investment objectives.

Interest Rate and Foreign Currency Swaps - NextEra Energy and its subsidiaries use a combination of fixed rate and variable rate debt to manage interest rate exposure.  Interest rate swaps are used to mitigate and adjust interest rate exposure when deemed appropriate based upon market conditions or when required by financing agreements.  In addition, with respect to certain debt issuances and borrowings, Capital Holdings has entered into cross currency swaps, one of which hedges against currency movements with respect to both interest and principal payments and another which hedges against currency and interest rate movements with respect to both interest and principal payments.  See Note 2.

Income Taxes

5.  Income Taxes

NextEra Energy's effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 28% and 25%, respectively.  The reduction from the federal statutory rate mainly reflects the benefit of wind production tax credits (PTCs) of approximately $45 million and $66 million, respectively, related to NextEra Energy Resources' wind projects and approximately $9 million and $26 million, respectively, of deferred income tax benefits associated with grants (convertible investment tax credits (ITCs)) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, as amended (Recovery Act), primarily for certain wind projects expected to be placed in service.  NextEra Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 also reflects an income tax benefit of $24 million related to employee benefits.

NextEra Energy's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 18% and 24%, respectively.  The reduction from the federal statutory rate mainly reflects the benefit of wind PTCs of approximately $208 million and $229 million, respectively, and approximately $17 million and $56 million, respectively, of deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs.  NextEra Energy’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 also reflects a state deferred income tax benefit (state deferred income tax benefit) included in the Corporate and Other segment of approximately $64 million, net of federal income taxes, related to state tax law changes and a $26 million reduction in income tax expense, net of federal income taxes, primarily related to a valuation allowance reversal for certain state ITCs reflecting state income tax planning initiatives (state ITC benefit). NextEra Energy’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 also reflects an income tax benefit of $24 million related to employee benefits.

NextEra Energy recognizes PTCs as wind energy is generated and sold based on a per kilowatt-hour (kwh) rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes, which may differ significantly from amounts computed, on a quarterly basis, using an overall effective income tax rate anticipated for the full year.  NextEra Energy uses this method of recognizing PTCs for specific reasons, including that PTCs are an integral part of the financial viability of most wind projects and a fundamental component of such wind projects' results of operations.  PTCs can significantly affect NextEra Energy's effective income tax rate depending on the amount of pretax income and wind generation.

During the first quarter of 2011, NextEra Energy finalized a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to the 1988 through 2005 tax years and closed out the examination of years 2006 through 2008 (collectively, IRS settlement).  The IRS settlement primarily related to NextEra Energy’s and FPL’s timing of certain deductions for repairs, casualty losses and indirect service costs.  During the second quarter of 2011, NextEra Energy received a cash refund from the IRS of approximately $278 million related to the IRS settlement.  Also as a result of the IRS settlement, NextEra Energy's gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $248 million ($214 million for FPL) and accrued net interest receivable was reduced by $131 million ($38 million for FPL).  The IRS settlement did not have a material effect on NextEra Energy's or FPL's net income.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Purpose for using derivative instruments

2.  Derivative Instruments

NextEra Energy and FPL use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options, futures and forwards) to manage the commodity price risk inherent in the purchase and sale of fuel and electricity, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with outstanding and forecasted debt issuances, and to optimize the value of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC's (NextEra Energy Resources) power generation assets.

With respect to commodities related to NextEra Energy's competitive energy business, NextEra Energy Resources employs risk management procedures to conduct its activities related to optimizing the value of its power generation assets, providing full energy and capacity requirements services primarily to distribution utilities, and engaging in power and gas marketing and trading activities to take advantage of expected future favorable price movements and changes in the expected volatility of prices in the energy markets.  These risk management activities involve the use of derivative instruments executed within prescribed limits to manage the risk associated with fluctuating commodity prices.  Transactions in derivative instruments are executed on recognized exchanges or via the OTC markets, depending on the most favorable credit terms and market execution factors.  For NextEra Energy Resources' power generation assets, derivative instruments are used to hedge the commodity price risk associated with the fuel requirements of the assets, where applicable, as well as to hedge all or a portion of the expected energy output of these assets.  These hedges protect NextEra Energy Resources against adverse changes in the wholesale forward commodity markets associated with its generation assets.  With regard to full energy and capacity requirements services, NextEra Energy Resources is required to vary the quantity of energy and related services based on the load demands of the customer served by the distribution utility.  For this type of transaction, derivative instruments are used to hedge the anticipated electricity quantities required to serve these customers and protect against unfavorable changes in the forward energy markets.  Additionally, NextEra Energy Resources takes positions in the energy markets based on differences between actual forward market levels and management's view of fundamental market conditions.  NextEra Energy Resources uses derivative instruments to realize value from these market dislocations, subject to strict risk management limits around market, operational and credit exposure.

Derivative instruments, when required to be marked to market, are recorded on NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value.  At FPL, substantially all changes in the derivatives' fair value are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability until the contracts are settled, and, upon settlement, any gains or losses are passed through the fuel and purchased power cost recovery clause (fuel clause) or the capacity cost recovery clause (capacity clause).  For NextEra Energy's non-rate regulated operations, predominantly NextEra Energy Resources, unless hedge accounting is applied, essentially all changes in the derivatives' fair value for power purchases and sales and trading activities are recognized on a net basis in operating revenues; fuel purchases and sales are recognized on a net basis in fuel, purchased power and interchange expense; and the equity method investees' related activity is recognized in equity in earnings of equity method investees in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income.  Settlement gains and losses are included within the line items in the condensed consolidated statements of income to which they relate.  Settlements related to derivative instruments are primarily recognized in net cash provided by operating activities in NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

While most of NextEra Energy's derivatives are entered into for the purpose of managing commodity price risk, reducing the impact of volatility in interest rates on outstanding and forecasted debt issuances and managing foreign currency risk, hedge accounting is only applied where specific criteria are met and it is practicable to do so.  In order to apply hedge accounting, the transaction must be designated as a hedge and it must be highly effective in offsetting the hedged risk.  Additionally, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the forecasted transactions must be probable.  For commodity derivatives, NextEra Energy Resources believes that, where offsetting positions exist at the same location for the same time, the transactions are considered to have been netted and therefore physical delivery has been deemed not to have occurred for financial reporting purposes.  Transactions for which physical delivery is deemed not to have occurred are presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated statements of income.  For interest rate swaps and foreign currency derivative instruments, generally NextEra Energy assesses a hedging instrument's effectiveness by using nonstatistical methods including dollar value comparisons of the change in the fair value of the derivative to the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item.  Hedge effectiveness is tested at the inception of the hedge and on at least a quarterly basis throughout its life.  The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) and is reclassified into earnings in the period(s) during which the transaction being hedged affects earnings or when it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction being hedged would not occur.  See Note 6.  The ineffective portion of net unrealized gains (losses) on these hedges is reported in earnings in the current period. At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy's accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) included amounts related to discontinued commodity cash flow hedges with expiration dates through December 2012; interest rate cash flow hedges with expiration dates through December 2030; and foreign currency cash flow hedges with expiration dates through September 2030.

In September 2011, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in four natural gas-fired generating plants. See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements. Certain of the plants had hedged their exposure to interest rate and commodity price fluctuations by entering into derivative contracts. Because the plants are being sold to a third party, it became no longer probable that the future hedged transactions would occur. Therefore, NextEra Energy was required to reclassify any gains or losses in AOCI related to those hedges to earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy reclassified approximately $21 million of net losses to earnings, $30 million of losses were recorded in loss on assets held for sale and $9 million of gains were recorded in other - net.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

2.  Derivative Instruments

NextEra Energy and FPL use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options, futures and forwards) to manage the commodity price risk inherent in the purchase and sale of fuel and electricity, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with outstanding and forecasted debt issuances, and to optimize the value of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC's (NextEra Energy Resources) power generation assets.

With respect to commodities related to NextEra Energy's competitive energy business, NextEra Energy Resources employs risk management procedures to conduct its activities related to optimizing the value of its power generation assets, providing full energy and capacity requirements services primarily to distribution utilities, and engaging in power and gas marketing and trading activities to take advantage of expected future favorable price movements and changes in the expected volatility of prices in the energy markets.  These risk management activities involve the use of derivative instruments executed within prescribed limits to manage the risk associated with fluctuating commodity prices.  Transactions in derivative instruments are executed on recognized exchanges or via the OTC markets, depending on the most favorable credit terms and market execution factors.  For NextEra Energy Resources' power generation assets, derivative instruments are used to hedge the commodity price risk associated with the fuel requirements of the assets, where applicable, as well as to hedge all or a portion of the expected energy output of these assets.  These hedges protect NextEra Energy Resources against adverse changes in the wholesale forward commodity markets associated with its generation assets.  With regard to full energy and capacity requirements services, NextEra Energy Resources is required to vary the quantity of energy and related services based on the load demands of the customer served by the distribution utility.  For this type of transaction, derivative instruments are used to hedge the anticipated electricity quantities required to serve these customers and protect against unfavorable changes in the forward energy markets.  Additionally, NextEra Energy Resources takes positions in the energy markets based on differences between actual forward market levels and management's view of fundamental market conditions.  NextEra Energy Resources uses derivative instruments to realize value from these market dislocations, subject to strict risk management limits around market, operational and credit exposure.

Derivative instruments, when required to be marked to market, are recorded on NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value.  At FPL, substantially all changes in the derivatives' fair value are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability until the contracts are settled, and, upon settlement, any gains or losses are passed through the fuel and purchased power cost recovery clause (fuel clause) or the capacity cost recovery clause (capacity clause).  For NextEra Energy's non-rate regulated operations, predominantly NextEra Energy Resources, unless hedge accounting is applied, essentially all changes in the derivatives' fair value for power purchases and sales and trading activities are recognized on a net basis in operating revenues; fuel purchases and sales are recognized on a net basis in fuel, purchased power and interchange expense; and the equity method investees' related activity is recognized in equity in earnings of equity method investees in NextEra Energy's condensed consolidated statements of income.  Settlement gains and losses are included within the line items in the condensed consolidated statements of income to which they relate.  Settlements related to derivative instruments are primarily recognized in net cash provided by operating activities in NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

While most of NextEra Energy's derivatives are entered into for the purpose of managing commodity price risk, reducing the impact of volatility in interest rates on outstanding and forecasted debt issuances and managing foreign currency risk, hedge accounting is only applied where specific criteria are met and it is practicable to do so.  In order to apply hedge accounting, the transaction must be designated as a hedge and it must be highly effective in offsetting the hedged risk.  Additionally, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the forecasted transactions must be probable.  For commodity derivatives, NextEra Energy Resources believes that, where offsetting positions exist at the same location for the same time, the transactions are considered to have been netted and therefore physical delivery has been deemed not to have occurred for financial reporting purposes.  Transactions for which physical delivery is deemed not to have occurred are presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated statements of income.  For interest rate swaps and foreign currency derivative instruments, generally NextEra Energy assesses a hedging instrument's effectiveness by using nonstatistical methods including dollar value comparisons of the change in the fair value of the derivative to the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item.  Hedge effectiveness is tested at the inception of the hedge and on at least a quarterly basis throughout its life.  The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) and is reclassified into earnings in the period(s) during which the transaction being hedged affects earnings or when it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction being hedged would not occur.  See Note 6.  The ineffective portion of net unrealized gains (losses) on these hedges is reported in earnings in the current period. At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy's accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) included amounts related to discontinued commodity cash flow hedges with expiration dates through December 2012; interest rate cash flow hedges with expiration dates through December 2030; and foreign currency cash flow hedges with expiration dates through September 2030.

In September 2011, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in four natural gas-fired generating plants. See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements. Certain of the plants had hedged their exposure to interest rate and commodity price fluctuations by entering into derivative contracts. Because the plants are being sold to a third party, it became no longer probable that the future hedged transactions would occur. Therefore, NextEra Energy was required to reclassify any gains or losses in AOCI related to those hedges to earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy reclassified approximately $21 million of net losses to earnings, $30 million of losses were recorded in loss on assets held for sale and $9 million of gains were recorded in other - net.

The net fair values of NextEra Energy's and FPL's mark-to-market derivative instrument assets (liabilities) are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

(a) In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, FPL recorded approximately $232 million and $300 million of losses, respectively, related to commodity contracts as regulatory assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, FPL recorded approximately $306 million and $698 million of losses, respectively, related to commodity contracts as regulatory assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table represents net notional volumes associated with derivative instruments that are required to be reported at fair value in NextEra Energy's and FPL's condensed consolidated financial statements.  The table includes significant volumes of transactions that have minimal exposure to commodity price changes because they are variably priced agreements.  The table does not present a complete picture of NextEra Energy's and FPL's overall net economic exposure because NextEra Energy and FPL do not use derivative instruments to hedge all of their commodity exposures.  At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy and FPL had derivative commodity contracts for the following net notional volumes:

Commodity Type	NextEra Energy			FPL
	(millions)
Power	(115	)	mwh(a)	—
Natural gas	1,183		mmbtu(b)	855	mmbtu(b)
Oil	(2	)	barrels	—

(a) Megawatt-hours

(b) One million British thermal units

At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy had 28 interest rate swaps with a notional amount totaling approximately $6.6 billion and two foreign currency swaps with a notional amount totaling approximately $544 million.

Certain of NextEra Energy's and FPL's derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features including, among other things, the requirement to maintain an investment grade credit rating from specified credit rating agencies and certain financial ratios, as well as credit-related cross-default and material adverse change triggers.  At September 30, 2011, the aggregate fair value of NextEra Energy's derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was approximately $1.7 billion ($0.3 billion for FPL).

If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements and other commodity-related contracts were triggered, NextEra Energy or FPL could be required to post collateral or settle contracts according to contractual terms which generally allow netting of contracts in offsetting positions.  Certain contracts contain multiple types of credit-related triggers.  To the extent these contracts contain a credit ratings downgrade trigger, the maximum exposure is included in the following credit ratings collateral posting requirements.  If FPL's and Capital Holdings' credit ratings were downgraded to BBB/Baa2 (a two level downgrade for FPL and a one level downgrade for Capital Holdings from the current lowest applicable rating), NextEra Energy would be required to post collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately $350 million ($100 million at FPL).If FPL's and Capital Holdings' credit ratings were downgraded to below investment grade, NextEra Energy would be required to post additional collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately $2.3 billion ($0.8 billion at FPL).  Some contracts at NextEra Energy, including some FPL contracts, do not contain credit ratings downgrade triggers, but do contain provisions that require certain financial measures be maintained and/or have credit-related cross-default triggers.  In the event these provisions were triggered, NextEra Energy could be required to post additional collateral of up to approximately $600 million ($150 million at FPL).

Collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support.  At September 30, 2011, NextEra Energy had posted approximately $140 million (none at FPL) in the form of letters of credit, related to derivatives, in the normal course of business which could be applied toward the collateral requirements described above.  FPL and Capital Holdings have bank revolving line of credit facilities in excess of the collateral requirements described above that would be available to support, among other things, derivative activities.  Under the terms of the bank revolving line of credit facilities, maintenance of a specific credit rating is not a condition to drawing on these credit facilities, although there are other conditions to drawing on these credit facilities.

Additionally, some contracts contain certain adequate assurance provisions where a counterparty may demand additional collateral based on subjective events and/or conditions.  Due to the subjective nature of these provisions, NextEra Energy and FPL are unable to determine an exact value for these items and they are not included in any of the quantitative disclosures above.

NextEra Energy Resources reviews the estimated useful lives of its fixed assets on an ongoing basis.  In the first quarter of 2011, this review indicated that the actual lives of certain equipment at NextEra Energy Resources’ wind plants are expected to be longer than the previously estimated useful lives used for depreciation purposes.  As a result, effective January 1, 2011, NextEra Energy Resources changed the estimates of the useful lives of certain equipment to better reflect the estimated periods during which these assets are expected to remain in service.  The useful lives of substantially all of the wind plants’ equipment that were previously estimated to be 25 years were increased to 30 years.  The effect of this change in estimate was to reduce depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $19 million and $56 million, increase net income by $11 million and $33 million, and increase basic and diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.03 and $0.08, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  The effect of this change in estimate for the year ended December 31, 2011 is expected to reduce depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $75 million, increase net income by $44 million and increase basic and diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.11.
