Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies Revenue Recognition - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from an entity's contracts with customers. The standard is effective for NEE and FPL beginning January 1, 2017. NEE and FPL are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have, if any, on their consolidated financial statements. Basis of Presentation - NEE formed NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NEP) to own, operate and acquire contracted clean energy projects with stable, long-term cash flows through a limited partner interest in NextEra Energy Operating Partners, LP (NEP OpCo). On July 1, 2014, NEP closed its initial public offering by issuing 18,687,500 common units representing limited partnership interests. The proceeds from the sale of the common units, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and structuring fees, were approximately $438 million. NEP used such proceeds to purchase 18,687,500 common units of NEP OpCo, of which approximately $288 million was used to purchase common units from an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NEE and $150 million was used to purchase common units from NEP OpCo which will use the net proceeds for its general corporate purposes, including to fund future acquisition opportunities. NEE retained 74,440,000 units of NEP OpCo representing a 79.9% interest in the operating projects owned by NEP. Additionally, NEE owns a controlling general partner interest in NEP and, beginning July 1, 2014, will consolidate this entity for financial reporting purposes and will present NEP's limited partner interest as a non-controlling interest in NEE's financial statements. Upon completion of the initial public offering, NEP, through NEER's contribution of energy projects to NEP OpCo, owned a portfolio of ten wind and solar projects with generation capacity totaling approximately 990 MW.
