NEP

NEP was deconsolidated from NEE for financial reporting purposes in January 2018 as a result of changes made to NEP's governance structure during 2017 that, among other things, enhanced NEP common unitholder governance rights. In connection with the deconsolidation, NEE recorded an initial investment in NEP of approximately $4.4 billion based on the fair value of NEP OpCo and NEP common units that were held by subsidiaries of NEE on the deconsolidation date, which investment is included in the investment in equity method investees on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value was based on the market price of NEP common units as of January 1, 2018, which resulted in NEE recording a gain of approximately $3.9 billion ($3.0 billion after tax) during the six months ended June 30, 2018. NEER continues to operate the projects owned by NEP.

NEER provides management, administrative and transportation and fuel management services to NEP and its subsidiaries under various agreements (service agreements). NEER is also party to a cash sweep and credit support (CSCS) agreement with a subsidiary of NEP. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the cash sweep amounts (due to NEP and its subsidiaries) held in accounts belonging to NEER or its subsidiaries was approximately $737 million and $66 million, respectively, and is included in accounts payable. Fee income related to the CSCS agreement and the service agreements totaled approximately $24 million and $24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $48 million and $48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included in operating revenues in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income. Amounts due from NEP of approximately $59 million and $45 million are included in other receivables and $57 million

and $34 million are included in noncurrent other assets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Under the CSCS agreement, NEECH or NEER guaranteed or provided indemnifications, letters of credit or surety bonds totaling approximately $763 million at June 30, 2019 primarily related to obligations on behalf of NEP's subsidiaries with maturity dates ranging from 2019 to 2050 and included certain project performance obligations, obligations under financing and interconnection agreements and obligations related to the sale of differential membership interests. Payment guarantees and related contracts with respect to unconsolidated entities for which NEE or one of its subsidiaries are the guarantor are recorded on NEE’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. At June 30, 2019, approximately $35 million related to the fair value of the credit support provided under the CSCS agreement is recorded as noncurrent other liabilities on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In June 2019, subsidiaries of NEER completed the sale of ownership interests in certain wind and solar generation facilities to a NEP subsidiary. See Note 11 - Disposal of Businesses.
