RNG Acquisition – On March 21, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources acquired a portfolio of renewable energy projects from the owners of Energy Power Partners Fund I, L.P. and North American Sustainable Energy Fund, L.P., as well as the related service provider (RNG acquisition). The portfolio primarily consists of 31 biogas projects, one of which is an operating renewable natural gas facility and the others of which are primarily operating landfill gas-to-electric facilities. The purchase price included approximately $1.1 billion in cash consideration and the assumption of approximately $34 million of debt, excluding post-closing adjustments.

Under the acquisition method, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair value. NEE acquired identifiable assets of approximately $1.3 billion, primarily relating to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets associated with biogas rights agreements and above-market purchased power agreements, and assumed

liabilities of approximately $0.3 billion and noncontrolling interests of approximately $0.1 billion. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in approximately $0.2 billion of goodwill which has been recognized on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2023, of which approximately $0.2 billion is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill associated with the RNG acquisition is reflected within NEER and, for impairment testing, is expected to be included in the clean energy assets reporting unit. The goodwill arising from the transaction represents expected benefits of synergies and expansion opportunities for NEE's clean energy businesses. The provisional valuation of the acquired net assets, including goodwill, is subject to change as additional information related to the estimates is obtained during the measurement period.
