TABLE OF CONTENTS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, strategies, future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as may result, are expected to, will continue, is anticipated, aim, believe, will, could, should, would, estimated, may, plan, potential, future, projection, goals, target, outlook, predict and intend or words of similar meaning) are not statements of historical facts and may be forward looking. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors (in addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements) that could have a significant impact on NEE's and/or FPL's operations and financial results, and could cause NEE's and/or FPL's actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of NEE and/or FPL in this combined Form 10-Q, in presentations, on their respective websites, in response to questions or otherwise.

Regulatory, Legislative and Legal Risks

NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected by the extensive regulation of their business.

NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected if they are unable to recover in a timely manner any significant amount of costs, a return on certain assets or a reasonable return on invested capital through base rates, cost recovery clauses, other regulatory mechanisms or otherwise.

Regulatory decisions that are important to NEE and FPL may be materially adversely affected by political, regulatory and economic factors.

FPL's use of derivative instruments could be subject to prudence challenges and, if found imprudent, could result in disallowances of cost recovery for such use by the FPSC.

Any reductions or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support utility scale renewable energy, including, but not limited to, tax laws, policies and incentives, renewable portfolio standards, feed-in tariffs or the EPA's final rule under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act, or the imposition of additional taxes or other assessments on renewable energy, could result in, among other items, the lack of a satisfactory market for the development and/or financing of new renewable energy projects, NEER abandoning the development of renewable energy projects, a loss of NEER's investments in renewable energy projects and reduced project returns, any of which could have a material adverse effect on NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected as a result of new or revised laws, regulations, interpretations or other regulatory initiatives.

NEE and FPL are subject to numerous environmental laws, regulations and other standards that may result in capital expenditures, increased operating costs and various liabilities, and may require NEE and FPL to limit or eliminate certain operations.

NEE's and FPL's business could be negatively affected by federal or state laws or regulations mandating new or additional limits on the production of greenhouse gas emissions.

Extensive federal regulation of the operations and businesses of NEE and FPL exposes NEE and FPL to significant and increasing compliance costs and may also expose them to substantial monetary penalties and other sanctions for compliance failures.

Changes in tax laws, guidance or policies, including but not limited to changes in corporate income tax rates, as well as judgments and estimates used in the determination of tax-related asset and liability amounts, could materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected due to adverse results of litigation.

Operational Risks

NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could suffer if NEE and FPL do not proceed with projects under development or are unable to complete the construction of, or capital improvements to, electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities, gas infrastructure facilities or other facilities on schedule or within budget.

NEE and FPL may face risks related to project siting, financing, construction, permitting, governmental approvals and the negotiation of project development agreements that may impede their development and operating activities.

The operation and maintenance of NEE's and FPL's electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities, gas infrastructure facilities and other facilities are subject to many operational risks, the consequences of which could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be negatively affected by a lack of growth or slower growth in the number of customers or in customer usage.

NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects can be materially adversely affected by weather conditions, including, but not limited to, the impact of severe weather.

Threats of terrorism and catastrophic events that could result from terrorism, cyber attacks, or individuals and/or groups attempting to disrupt NEE's and FPL's business, or the businesses of third parties, may materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

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

NEE invests in gas and oil producing and transmission assets through NEER’s gas infrastructure business. The gas infrastructure business is exposed to fluctuating market prices of natural gas, natural gas liquids, oil and other energy commodities. A prolonged period of low gas and oil prices could impact NEER’s gas infrastructure business and cause NEER to delay or cancel certain gas infrastructure projects and for certain existing projects to be impaired, which could materially adversely affect NEE's results of operations.

If supply costs necessary to provide NEER's full energy and capacity requirement services are not favorable, operating costs could increase and materially adversely affect NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Due to the potential for significant volatility in market prices for fuel, electricity and renewable and other energy commodities, NEER's inability or failure to manage properly or hedge effectively the commodity risks within its portfolios could materially adversely affect NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Reductions in the liquidity of energy markets may restrict the ability of NEE to manage its operational risks, which, in turn, could negatively affect NEE's results of operations.

NEE's and FPL's hedging and trading procedures and associated risk management tools may not protect against significant losses.

If price movements significantly or persistently deviate from historical behavior, NEE's and FPL's risk management tools associated with their hedging and trading procedures may not protect against significant losses.

If power transmission or natural gas, nuclear fuel or other commodity transportation facilities are unavailable or disrupted, FPL's and NEER's ability to sell and deliver power or natural gas may be limited.

NEE and FPL are subject to credit and performance risk from customers, hedging counterparties and vendors.

NEE and FPL could recognize financial losses or a reduction in operating cash flows if a counterparty fails to perform or make payments in accordance with the terms of derivative contracts or if NEE or FPL is required to post margin cash collateral under derivative contracts.

NEE and FPL are highly dependent on sensitive and complex information technology systems, and any failure or breach of those systems could have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

NEE's and FPL's retail businesses are subject to the risk that sensitive customer data may be compromised, which could result in a material adverse impact to their reputation and/or have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of NEE and FPL.

NEE and FPL could recognize financial losses as a result of volatility in the market values of derivative instruments and limited liquidity in OTC markets.

NEE and FPL may be materially adversely affected by negative publicity.

NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected if FPL is unable to maintain, negotiate or renegotiate franchise agreements on acceptable terms with municipalities and counties in Florida.

NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected by work strikes or stoppages and increasing personnel costs.

NEE'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.

Nuclear Generation Risks

The operation and maintenance of NEE's and FPL's nuclear generation facilities involve environmental, health and financial risks that could result in fines or the closure of the facilities and in increased costs and capital expenditures.

In the event of an incident at any nuclear generation facility in the U.S. or at certain nuclear generation facilities in Europe, NEE and FPL could be assessed significant retrospective assessments and/or retrospective insurance premiums as a result of their participation in a secondary financial protection system and nuclear insurance mutual companies.

NRC orders or new regulations related to increased security measures and any future safety requirements promulgated by the NRC could require NEE and FPL to incur substantial operating and capital expenditures at their nuclear generation facilities and/or result in reduced revenues.

The inability to operate any of NEE's or FPL's nuclear generation units through the end of their respective operating licenses could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

NEE's and FPL's nuclear units are periodically removed from service to accommodate planned refueling and maintenance outages, and for other purposes. If planned outages last longer than anticipated or if there are unplanned outages, NEE's and FPL's results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Liquidity, Capital Requirements and Common Stock Risks

Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit and capital markets may negatively affect NEE's and FPL's ability to fund their liquidity and capital needs and to meet their growth objectives, and can also materially adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition of NEE and FPL.

NEE's, NEECH's and FPL's inability to maintain their current credit ratings may materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's liquidity and results of operations, limit the ability of NEE and FPL to grow their business, and increase interest costs.

NEE's and FPL's liquidity may be impaired if their credit providers are unable to fund their credit commitments to the companies or to maintain their current credit ratings.

Poor market performance and other economic factors could affect NEE's defined benefit pension plan's funded status, which may materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and prospects.

Poor market performance and other economic factors could adversely affect the asset values of NEE's and FPL's nuclear decommissioning funds, which may materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain of NEE's investments are subject to changes in market value and other risks, which may materially adversely affect NEE's liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

NEE may be unable to meet its ongoing and future financial obligations and to pay dividends on its common stock if its subsidiaries are unable to pay upstream dividends or repay funds to NEE.

NEE may be unable to meet its ongoing and future financial obligations and to pay dividends on its common stock if NEE is required to perform under guarantees of obligations of its subsidiaries.

NEP may not be able to access sources of capital on commercially reasonable terms, which would have a material adverse effect on its ability to consummate future acquisitions and on the value of NEE’s limited partner interest in NEP OpCo.

Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit and capital markets may exert downward pressure on the market price of NEE's common stock.

These factors should be read together with the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in NEE's and FPL's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (2017 Form 10-K), and investors should refer to that section of the 2017 Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and NEE and FPL undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances, including, but not limited to, unanticipated events, after the date on which such statement is made, unless otherwise required by law. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in any forward-looking statement.

Website Access to SEC Filings. NEE and FPL make their SEC filings, including the annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports, available free of charge on NEE's internet website, www.nexteraenergy.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after those documents are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. The information and materials available on NEE's website (or any of its subsidiaries' or affiliates' websites) are not incorporated by reference into this combined Form 10-Q. The SEC maintains an internet website that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the SEC at www.sec.gov.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Form 10-K. In the opinion of NEE 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. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Effective January 1, 2018, NEE and FPL adopted an accounting standards update that provides guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and requires additional disclosures regarding such contracts (new revenue standard). Under the new revenue standard, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The promised goods or services in the majority of NEE’s contracts with customers under the new revenue standard is, at FPL, for the delivery of electricity based on tariff rates approved by the FPSC and, at NEER, for the delivery of energy commodities and the availability of electric capacity and electric transmission. NEE and FPL adopted the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective approach applying it only to contracts that were not complete at January 1, 2018. On January 1, 2018, NEE recorded a reduction to retained earnings of approximately $25 million representing the cumulative effect of adopting the new revenue standard, which was primarily due to identifying separate performance obligations in certain energy-related contracts at NEER. The cumulative effect of adopting the new revenue standard was not material at FPL. The impact of applying the new revenue standard to NEE’s and FPL's ~~June~~September 30, 2018 financial statements as compared to the prior revenue standard was not material.

FPL and NEER generate substantially all of NEE’s operating revenues, which primarily include revenues from contracts with customers, as well as, at NEER, derivative and lease transactions. For the vast majority of contracts with customers, NEE believes that the obligation to deliver energy, capacity or transmission is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits as NEE performs. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, NEE’s revenue from contracts with customers was approximately ~~$3.5~~$4.1 billion ($~~2.9~~3.4 billion at FPL) and ~~$6.8~~$10.9 billion ($~~5.5~~8.9 billion at FPL), respectively. NEE's and FPL's receivables are primarily associated with revenues earned from contracts with customers, as well as, at NEER, derivative and lease transactions, and consist of both billed and unbilled amounts, which are recorded in customer receivables and other receivables on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Receivables represent unconditional rights to consideration and reflect the differences in timing of revenue recognition and cash collections. For substantially all of NEE's and FPL's receivables, regardless of the type of revenue transaction from which the receivable originated, customer and counterparty credit risk is managed in the same manner and the terms and conditions of payment are similar.

FPL - FPL’s ~~revenue from contracts with customers is~~revenues are derived primarily from tariff-based sales that result from providing electricity to retail customers in Florida with no defined contractual term. Electricity sales to retail customers account for approximately 90% of FPL’s operating revenues, the majority of which is to residential customers. FPL’s retail customers receive a bill monthly based on the amount of monthly kWh usage with payment due monthly. For these types of sales, FPL recognizes revenue as electricity is delivered and billed to customers, as well as an estimate for electricity delivered and not yet billed. The billed and unbilled amounts represent the value of electricity delivered to the customer.

NEER - NEER’s revenue from contracts with customers is derived primarily from the sale of energy commodities, electric capacity and electric transmission. For these types of sales, NEER recognizes revenue as energy commodities are delivered and as electric capacity and electric transmission are made available, consistent with the amounts billed to customers based on rates stipulated in the respective contracts as well as an accrual for amounts earned but not yet billed. The amounts billed and accrued represent the value of energy or transmission delivered and/or the capacity of energy or transmission available to the customer. Revenues yet to be earned under these contracts, which have maturity dates ranging from 2018 to 2043, will vary based on the volume of energy or transmission delivered and/or available. NEER’s customers typically receive bills monthly with payment due within 30 days. Certain contracts with customers contain a fixed price related primarily to electric capacity sales associated with ISO annual auctions through 2020 and certain power purchase agreements with maturity dates through 2034. At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, NEER expects to record approximately ~~$680~~$650 million of revenues related to the fixed price components of such contracts over the remaining terms of the related contracts as the capacity is provided.

2. NEP Deconsolidation

During the third quarter of 2017, changes to NEP's governance structure were made that, among other things, enhanced NEP unitholder governance rights. The new governance structure established a NEP board of directors where NEP unitholders have the ability to nominate and elect board members, subject to certain limitations and requirements. As a result of these governance changes, NEP was deconsolidated from NEE on January 1, 2018, which is when the term of office of the first NEP unitholder-elected directors took effect. NEER continues to operate the projects owned by NEP and provide services to NEP under various related party operations and maintenance, administrative and management services agreements.

NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

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 investment in equity method investees on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheet at ~~June~~September 30, 2018. 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~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018. Total assets of approximately $7.8 billion, primarily property, plant and equipment, total liabilities of approximately $4.8 billion, primarily long-term debt, and total noncontrolling interests of approximately $2.7 billion were removed from NEE's balance sheet as part of the deconsolidation.

~~The~~During the third quarter 2018, NEP issued approximately $82 million of its common units under its $150 million at-the-market equity issuance program implemented in July 2018, which replaced the prior program, resulting in a decrease in NEE's partnership interest in NEP OpCo. As a result, at September 30, 2018, NEE's equity method investment in NEP represents NEE’s partnership interest in NEP OpCo's operating projects of approximately ~~65.1%~~64.4% (and NEE’s direct interest in ~~2.6%~~2.5% of NEP’s common units) ~~at June 30, 2018.~~. The equity method investment in NEP includes approximately $3.3 billion related to NEE’s share of the basis difference between the fair value and the underlying carrying value of NEP’s net assets attributable to NEP OpCo's common unitholders at ~~June~~September 30, 2018, a portion of which is being amortized. Basis difference amounts related to property, plant and equipment, net are being amortized over the remaining useful lives of such property, and amounts related to power purchase agreements are being amortized over the remaining terms of such agreements. The related amortization is included in equity in earnings of equity method investees in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income.

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~~September 30, 2018, the cash sweep amount (due to NEP and its subsidiaries) held in accounts belonging to NEER or its subsidiaries was approximately ~~$137~~$807 million and is included in accounts payable. Fee income totaling approximately ~~$24~~$18 million and ~~$48~~$66 million related to the CSCS agreement and the service agreements is included in operating revenues in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, respectively. Amounts due from NEP of approximately ~~$43~~$38 million and $21 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 are primarily included in other receivables and noncurrent other assets, respectively. Under the CSCS agreement, NEECH or NEER guaranteed or provided indemnifications, letters of credit or bonds totaling approximately ~~$650~~$635 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 primarily related to obligations on behalf of NEP's subsidiaries with maturity dates ranging from 2018 to 2050 and including 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 sheet at fair value. As a result of deconsolidation, approximately $32 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 at ~~June~~September 30, 2018.

In August 2018, subsidiaries of NEER entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of NEP to sell ownership interests in certain wind and solar generation facilities. See Note 11 - Assets and Liabilities Associated with Assets Held for Sale.

3. Employee Retirement Benefits

NEE sponsors a qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for substantially all employees of NEE and its subsidiaries and sponsors a contributory postretirement plan for other benefits for retirees of NEE and its subsidiaries meeting certain eligibility requirements.

(a)	Reflects enhanced early retirement programs.

Amendments to Presentation of Retirement Benefits - Effective January 1, 2018, NEE adopted an accounting standards update that requires certain changes in classification of components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs within the income statement and allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization. NEE adopted the standards update using the retrospective approach for presentation of the components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs and the prospective approach for capitalization of service cost. Upon adoption, NEE, among other things, reclassified the non-service cost components noted in the net periodic benefit (income) cost table above from O&M expense to other net periodic benefit income in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income. The adoption of this standards update did not have an impact on net income attributable to NEE and did not have any impact on FPL as NEE is the plan sponsor.

4. Derivative Instruments

NEE and FPL use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options, futures and forwards) to manage the physical and financial risks inherent in the purchase and sale of fuel and electricity, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated primarily with outstanding and expected future debt issuances and borrowings, and to optimize the value of NEER's power generation and gas infrastructure assets. NEE and FPL do not utilize hedge accounting for their cash flow and fair value hedges.

With respect to commodities related to NEE's competitive energy business, NEER employs risk management procedures to conduct its activities related to optimizing the value of its power generation and gas infrastructure 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 NEER's power generation and gas infrastructure assets, derivative instruments are used to hedge all or a portion of the expected output of these assets. These hedges are designed to reduce the effect of adverse changes in the wholesale forward commodity markets associated with NEER's power generation and gas infrastructure assets. With regard to full energy and capacity requirements services, NEER is required to vary the quantity of energy and related services based on the load demands of the customers served. For this type of transaction, derivative instruments are used to hedge the anticipated electricity quantities required to serve these customers and reduce the effect of unfavorable changes in the forward energy markets. Additionally, NEER takes positions in energy markets based on differences between actual forward market levels and management's view of fundamental market conditions, including supply/demand imbalances, changes in traditional flows of energy, changes in short- and long-term weather patterns and anticipated regulatory and legislative outcomes. NEER 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 NEE'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. For NEE's non-rate regulated operations, predominantly NEER, essentially all changes in the derivatives' fair value for power purchases and sales, fuel sales and trading activities are recognized on a net basis in operating revenues; the equity method investees' related activity is recognized in equity in earnings of equity method investees in NEE'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. 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 commodity derivatives, NEE believes that, where offsetting positions exist at

NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

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. Settlements related to derivative instruments are primarily recognized in net cash provided by operating activities in NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

For interest rate and foreign currency derivative instruments, essentially all changes in the derivatives' fair value, as well as the transaction gain or loss on foreign denominated debt, are recognized in interest expense and the equity method investees' related activity is recognized in equity in earnings of equity method investees in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income. At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, NEE's AOCI included amounts related to discontinued interest rate cash flow hedges with expiration dates through March 2035 and foreign currency cash flow hedges with expiration dates through September 2030. Approximately ~~$22~~$21 million of net losses included in AOCI at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months as the principal and/or interest payments are made. Such amounts assume no change in scheduled principal payments.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments - The tables below present NEE's and FPL's gross derivative positions at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, as required by disclosure rules. However, the majority of the underlying contracts are subject to master netting agreements and generally would not be contractually settled on a gross basis. Therefore, the tables below also present the derivative positions on a net basis, which reflect the offsetting of positions of certain transactions within the portfolio, the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting arrangements and the netting of margin cash collateral (see Note 5 - Recurring Fair Value Measurements for netting information), as well as the location of the net derivative position on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Notional Volumes of Derivative Instruments - The following table represents net notional volumes associated with derivative instruments that are required to be reported at fair value in NEE'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. These volumes are only an indication of the commodity exposure that is managed through the use of derivatives. They do not represent net physical asset positions or non-derivative positions and their hedges, nor do they represent NEE’s and FPL’s net economic exposure, but only the net notional derivative positions that fully or partially hedge the related asset positions. NEE and FPL had derivative commodity contracts for the following net notional volumes:

At ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, NEE had interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately ~~$13.0~~$15.9 billion and $12.1 billion, respectively, and foreign currency contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $656 million and $718 million, respectively. ~~In July 2018, NEECH entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $3 billion to manage interest rate risk associated with forecasted debt issuances.~~

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features - Certain 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 ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of NEE's derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was approximately ~~$1.6~~$1.5 billion ($3 million for FPL) and $1.1 billion ($3 million for FPL), respectively.

If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these derivative agreements were triggered, certain subsidiaries of NEE, including FPL, could be required to post collateral or settle contracts according to contractual terms which generally allow netting of contracts in offsetting positions. Certain derivative 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 NEECH's credit ratings were downgraded to BBB/Baa2 (a two level downgrade for FPL and a one level downgrade for NEECH from the current lowest applicable rating), applicable NEE subsidiaries would be required to post collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately ~~$125~~$165 million (none at FPL) at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and $145 million (none at FPL) at December 31, 2017. If FPL's and NEECH's credit ratings were downgraded to below investment grade, applicable NEE subsidiaries would be required to post additional collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately $1.2 billion ($45 million at FPL) at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and $1.2 billion ($45 million at FPL) at December 31, 2017. Some derivative 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, applicable NEE subsidiaries could be required to post additional collateral of up to approximately ~~$350~~$280 million ($~~130~~135 million at FPL) at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and $210 million ($95 million at FPL) at December 31, 2017.

Collateral related to derivatives may be posted in the form of cash or credit support in the normal course of business. At ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, applicable NEE subsidiaries have posted approximately $2 million (none at FPL) and $2 million (none at FPL), respectively, in cash and $6$16 million (none at FPL) and $20 million (none at FPL), respectively, in the form of letters of credit, each of which could be applied toward the collateral requirements described above. FPL and NEECH have capacity under their credit facilities generally in excess of the collateral requirements described above that would be available to support, among other things, derivative activities. Under the terms of the 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 whereby a counterparty may demand additional collateral based on subjective events and/or conditions. Due to the subjective nature of these provisions, NEE and FPL are unable to determine an exact value for these items and they are not included in any of the quantitative disclosures above.

5. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of assets and liabilities are determined using either unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) or pricing inputs that are observable (Level 2) whenever that information is available and using unobservable inputs (Level 3) to estimate fair value only when relevant observable inputs are not available. NEE 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.

~~identical and/or comparable assets and liabilities for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.~~ NEE's and FPL's assessment of the significance of any particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Non-performance risk, including the consideration of a credit valuation adjustment, is also considered in the determination of fair value for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents - NEE and FPL hold investments in money market funds. The fair value of these funds is estimated using a market approach based on current observable market prices.

Special Use Funds and Other Investments - NEE 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 - NEE and FPL measure the fair value of commodity contracts using a combination of market and income approaches utilizing 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.

Most 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 other observable inputs.

NEE, through its subsidiaries, including FPL, also enters 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.

NEE, through NEER, also enters into full requirements contracts, which, in most 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 NEE have one or more significant inputs that are not observable, and are valued using industry-standard option models.

In all cases where NEE 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. The primary input to the valuation models for commodity contracts is the forward commodity curve for the respective instruments. Other inputs include, but are not limited to, assumptions about market liquidity, volatility, correlation and contract duration as more fully described below in Significant Unobservable Inputs Used in Recurring Fair Value Measurements. In instances where the reference markets are deemed to be inactive or do not have transactions for a similar contract, 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. NEE and FPL regularly evaluate and validate the inputs used to determine fair value by a number of methods, consisting of various market price verification procedures, including the use of pricing services and multiple broker quotes to support the market price of the various commodities. In all cases where there are assumptions and models used to generate inputs for valuing derivative assets and liabilities, the review and verification of the assumptions, models and changes to the models are undertaken by individuals that are independent of those responsible for estimating fair value.

NEE uses interest rate contracts and foreign currency contracts to mitigate and adjust interest rate and foreign currency exchange exposure related primarily to certain outstanding and expected future debt issuances and borrowings when deemed appropriate based on market conditions or when required by financing agreements. NEE estimates the fair value of these derivatives using an income approach based on a discounted cash flows valuation technique utilizing the net amount of estimated future cash inflows and outflows related to the agreements.

Significant Unobservable Inputs Used in Recurring Fair Value Measurements - The valuation of certain commodity contracts requires the use of significant unobservable inputs. All forward price, implied volatility, implied correlation and interest rate inputs used in the valuation of such contracts are directly based on third-party market data, such as broker quotes and exchange settlements, when that data is available. If third-party market data is not available, then industry standard methodologies are used to develop inputs that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs, including some forward prices, implied volatilities and interest rates used for determining fair value are updated daily to reflect the best available market information. Unobservable inputs which are related to observable inputs, such as illiquid portions of forward price or volatility curves, are updated daily as well, using industry standard techniques such as interpolation and extrapolation, combining observable forward inputs supplemented by historical market and other relevant data. Other unobservable inputs, such as implied correlations, customer migration rates from full requirements contracts and some implied volatility curves, are modeled using proprietary models based on historical data and industry standard techniques.

All price, volatility, correlation and customer migration inputs used in valuation are subject to validation by the Trading Risk Management group. The Trading Risk Management group performs a risk management function responsible for assessing credit, market and operational risk impact, reviewing valuation methodology and modeling, confirming transactions, monitoring approval processes and developing and monitoring trading limits. The Trading Risk Management group is separate from the transacting group. For markets where independent third-party data is readily available, validation is conducted daily by directly reviewing this market data against inputs utilized by the transacting group, and indirectly by reviewing daily risk reports. For markets where independent third-party data is not readily available, additional analytical reviews are performed on at least a quarterly basis. These analytical reviews are designed to ensure that all price and volatility curves used for fair valuing transactions are adequately validated each quarter, and are reviewed and approved by the Trading Risk Management group. In addition, other valuation assumptions such as implied correlations and customer migration rates are reviewed and approved by the Trading Risk Management group on a periodic basis. Newly created models used in the valuation process are also subject to testing and approval by the Trading Risk Management group prior to use and established models are reviewed annually, or more often as needed, by the Trading Risk Management group.

On a monthly basis, the Exposure Management Committee (EMC), which is comprised of certain members of senior management, meets with representatives from the Trading Risk Management group and the transacting group to discuss NEE's and FPL's energy risk profile and operations, to review risk reports and to discuss fair value issues as necessary. The EMC develops guidelines required for an appropriate risk management control infrastructure, which includes implementation and monitoring of compliance with Trading Risk Management policy. The EMC executes its risk management responsibilities through direct oversight and delegation of its responsibilities to the Trading Risk Management group, as well as to other corporate and business unit personnel.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of NEE's commodity contracts categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 are as follows:


	Fair Value at				Valuation	Significant				Fair Value at				Valuation	Significant

Special Use Funds - The special use funds noted above and those carried at fair value (see Recurring Fair Value Measurements above) consist of NEE's nuclear decommissioning fund assets of approximately ~~$6,056~~$6,282 million and $6,003 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, ($~~4,132~~4,285 million and $4,090 million, respectively, for FPL) and FPL's storm fund assets of ~~$78~~$79 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2018. The investments held in the special use funds consist of equity and debt securities which are primarily carried at estimated fair value. In connection with the adoption of a new accounting standards update as discussed below, available for sale securities include only debt securities in 2018 and debt and equity securities in 2017. The amortized cost of debt securities is approximately ~~$1,977~~$1,973 million and $1,921 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, ($~~1,543~~1,529 million and $1,443 million, respectively, for FPL). The cost basis of equity securities was approximately $1,521 million at December 31, 2017 ($783 million for FPL). 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 asset or liability accounts. For NEE's non-rate regulated operations, changes in fair value of debt securities result in a corresponding adjustment to OCI, except for unrealized losses considered to be other than temporary, including any credit losses, which are recognized in other - net in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income. For NEE's non-rate regulated operations, changes in fair value of equity securities are recorded in change in unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities held in NEER's nuclear decommissioning funds - net in NEE’s condensed consolidated statements of income. The unrealized gains (losses) recognized during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 on equity securities held at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 were ~~$78~~$192 million and ~~$37~~$226 million, respectively ($60130 million and ~~$37~~$167 million, respectively, for FPL). Debt securities included in the nuclear decommissioning funds have a weighted-average maturity at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 of approximately ~~nine~~eight years at both NEE and FPL. FPL's storm fund primarily consists of debt securities with a weighted-average maturity at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 of approximately one year. 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:

(a)	Unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were not material to NEE or FPL.

Regulations issued by the FERC and the 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 NEE or its subsidiaries, affiliates or associates, excluding investments tied to market indices or mutual funds. Similar restrictions applicable to the decommissioning funds for NEER's 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 Seabrook, decommissioning fund contributions and withdrawals are also regulated by the New Hampshire 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 NEE 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.

Financial Instruments Accounting Standards Update - Effective January 1, 2018, NEE and FPL adopted an accounting standards update which modifies guidance for financial instruments and makes certain changes to presentation and disclosure requirements.

NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

The standards update requires that equity investments (except investments accounted for under the equity method and investments that are consolidated) be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. This standards update primarily impacts the equity securities in NEER's special use funds and is expected to result in increased earnings volatility in future periods based on market conditions. NEE and FPL adopted this standards update using the modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings on January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, NEE reclassified net unrealized after-tax gains of approximately $312 million from AOCI to retained earnings. The implementation of this standards update had no impact on FPL as changes in the fair value of equity securities in FPL's special use funds are deferred as regulatory assets or liabilities pursuant to accounting guidance for regulated operations.

6. Income Taxes

NEE's effective income tax rates for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017 were approximately ~~25%~~12% and ~~26%~~30%, respectively. The rates for both periods reflect state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits, and the benefits of PTCs of approximately ~~$21~~$19 million and ~~$30~~$27 million, respectively, related to NEER's wind projects and ITCs of approximately ~~$33~~$34 million and ~~$42~~$51 million, respectively, related to solar and certain wind projects at NEER.

NEE's effective income tax rates for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017 were approximately ~~25%~~23% and 29%, respectively. The rates for both periods reflect state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits, as well as the benefits of PTCs of approximately ~~$44~~$63 million and ~~$58~~$85 million, respectively, related to NEER's wind projects. The rates for both periods also reflect ITCs and, in 2017, deferred income taxes associated with grants under the Recovery Act (convertible ITCs) totaling approximately ~~$70~~$104 million and ~~$169~~$220 million, respectively, related to solar and certain wind projects at NEER. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, NEE recorded an income tax charge of approximately $125 million related to an adjustment to differential membership interests primarily as a result of the change in federal income tax rates effective January 1, 2018 (see Note 11 - Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets).

NEE recognizes PTCs as wind energy is generated and sold based on a per 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. NEE 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, as well as ITCs and deferred income taxes associated with convertible ITCs, can significantly affect NEE's effective income tax rate depending on the amount of pretax income. The amount of PTCs recognized can be significantly affected by wind generation and by the roll off of PTCs after ten years of production.

On December 22, 2017, tax reform legislation was signed into law which, among other things, reduced the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. As a result, NEE, including FPL, performed an analysis to preliminarily revalue its deferred income taxes and included an estimate of changes in the balances in NEE's and FPL's December 31, 2017 financial statements. At December 31, 2017, the revaluation reduced NEE’s net deferred income tax liabilities by approximately $6.5 billion, of which $4.5 billion related to net deferred income tax liabilities at FPL and the remaining $2 billion related to net deferred income tax liabilities at NEER. The $2 billion reduction in NEER’s deferred income tax liabilities increased NEER’s 2017 net income. The $4.5 billion reduction in FPL’s deferred income tax liabilities was recorded as a regulatory liability. While NEE and FPL continue to believe that the provisional tax reform adjustments are reasonable estimates of the effects on its existing deferred taxes, additional analysis and detailed reviews are still being performed to finalize the accounting for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the enactment of tax reform. NEE and FPL expect any final adjustments to the provisional amounts to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 upon filing of all 2017 income tax returns. Effective January 1, 2018, NEE early adopted an accounting standards update that provided entities the option to reclassify certain tax effects from AOCI to retained earnings as a result of tax reform. Upon adoption, NEE reclassified approximately $16 million of tax benefits from AOCI to retained earnings.

7. ~~Pending~~ Acquisitions

In May 2018, NEE and a wholly owned subsidiary of NEE (purchaser) entered into three separate agreements with The Southern Company and/or certain of its affiliates (Southern) to acquire Gulf Power Company (Gulf Power), Florida City Gas (FCG) and the entities holding Southern’s ownership interests in two natural gas generation ~~facilities.~~facilities for approximately $6.475 billion (cash of $5.1 billion plus the assumption of approximately $1.4 billion of Gulf Power debt), subject to certain adjustments. NEE intends to finance the total cash purchase price of approximately $5.1 billion through the issuance of debt. In July 2018, NEE completed the acquisition of FCG, which serves approximately 110,000 residential and commercial natural gas customers in Florida's Miami-Dade, Brevard, St. Lucie and Indian River counties with 3,700 miles of natural gas pipeline, for approximately $530 million in cash subject to certain adjustments. Upon closing, NEE transferred FCG to FPL. The remaining acquisitions, as further described below, are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in each of the respective agreements.

Gulf Power - The purchaser expects to acquire the outstanding common shares of Gulf Power for approximately $5.75 billion ($4.35 billion in cash plus the assumption of approximately $1.4 billion of Gulf Power debt), subject to certain adjustments. Gulf ~~Power serves approximately 450,000 customers in eight counties throughout northwest Florida and has roughly 9,500 miles of power lines and 2,300 MW of electric generating capacity.~~

FCG - The purchaser expects to acquire the outstanding common shares of the entity that owns FCG for approximately $530 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. FCG serves approximately 110,000 residential and commercial natural gas customers in Florida's Miami-Dade, Brevard, St. Lucie and Indian River counties with 3,700 miles of natural gas pipeline.

NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

(unaudited)

Power serves approximately 460,000 customers in eight counties throughout northwest Florida and has roughly 9,500 miles of power lines and 2,300 MW of electric generating capacity.

Natural Gas Generation Facilities - The purchaser expects to acquire Southern's interest in an entity that owns a 65% interest in Stanton Energy Center, an approximately 660 MW combined-cycle electric generation facility located near Orlando, Florida, and Southern's interest in an entity that indirectly owns Oleander Power Project, a 791 MW natural gas-fired, simple-cycle combustion turbine electric generation facility located near Cocoa, Florida, for approximately $195 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments.

The acquisitions of Gulf Power and the ownership interests in the two natural gas generation facilities are subject to, among other things, receipt of required regulatory approvals, including approvals from the ~~FERC. Each of the three agreements~~FERC, and each agreement may be terminated by either the purchaser or Southern under certain circumstances. NEE expects to close on the acquisition of ~~FCG in the third quarter of 2018, and expects to close on the acquisitions of~~ Gulf Power ~~and the natural gas generation facilities~~ in the first half of 2019. ~~NEE intends to finance the approximately $5.1 billion cash purchase price through the issuance of debt.~~

8. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, NEE had twenty-seven VIEs which it consolidated and had interests in certain other VIEs which it did 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 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 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 ~~$106~~$73 million and $148 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and consisted primarily of storm-recovery property, which are included in both current and noncurrent regulatory assets on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities of the VIE were approximately ~~$110~~$75 million and $147 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and consisted primarily of storm-recovery bonds, which are included in current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NEER - NEE consolidates twenty-six NEER VIEs. NEER is considered the primary beneficiary of these VIEs since NEER controls the most significant activities of these VIEs, including operations and maintenance, and has the obligation to absorb expected losses of these VIEs.

Prior to January 1, 2018, a subsidiary of NEER was the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated NEP, which consolidated NEP OpCo because of NEP’s controlling interest as the general partner of NEP OpCo. At December 31, 2017, NEE owned a controlling non-economic general partner interest in NEP and a limited partner interest in NEP OpCo, and presented limited partner interests in NEP and NEP OpCo as noncontrolling interests in NEE's consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2017, NEE owned common units of NEP OpCo representing a noncontrolling interest in NEP's operating projects of approximately 65.1%. The assets and liabilities of NEP were approximately $8.4 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2017, and primarily consisted of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt. During the third quarter of 2017, changes to NEP's governance structure were made that, among other things, enhanced NEP unitholder governance rights. As a result of these governance changes, NEP is no longer a VIE and NEP was deconsolidated from NEE in January 2018 (see Note 2) resulting in NEE no longer indirectly consolidating NEP OpCo. NEP OpCo continues to be a VIE and NEE records its noncontrolling interest in NEP OpCo as an equity method investment (See Other below).

A NEER VIE consolidates two entities which own and operate natural gas/oil electric generation facilities with the capability of producing 110 MW. These entities sell their electric output under power sales contracts to a third party, with expiration dates in 2018 and 2020. The power sales contracts provide the offtaker the ability to dispatch the facilities and require the offtaker to absorb the cost of fuel. The entities have third-party debt which is secured by liens against the generation facilities and the other assets of these entities. The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NEER for the repayment of debt. The assets and liabilities of the VIE were approximately ~~$74~~$64 million and ~~$23~~$18 million, respectively, at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and $89 million and $29 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt.

NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

Two indirect subsidiaries of NEER each contributed, to a NEP subsidiary, an approximately 50% ownership interest in three entities which own and operate solar PV facilities with the capability of producing a total of approximately 277 MW. Each of the two indirect subsidiaries of NEER is considered a VIE since the non-managing members have no substantive rights over the managing members, and is consolidated by NEER. These three entities sell their electric output to third parties under power sales contracts with expiration dates in 2035 and 2036. The three entities have third-party debt which is secured by liens against the assets of the entities. The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NEER for the repayment of debt. The assets and liabilities of these VIEs were approximately ~~$550~~$549 million and ~~$569~~$554 million, respectively, at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and $548 million and $594 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt.

In February 2018, NEER sold a special purpose entity for net cash proceeds of approximately $71 million. In connection with the sale and the related consolidating state income tax effects, a gain of approximately $50 million (approximately $37 million after tax) was recorded in gains on disposal of investments and other property - net in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018. Prior to the sale, the special purpose entity had insufficient equity at risk and was considered a VIE. The entity provided a loan in the form of a note receivable (see Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments Recorded at Other than Fair Value) to an unrelated third party, and also issued senior secured bonds which ~~are~~were collateralized by the note receivable. The assets and liabilities of the VIE were approximately $490 million and $502 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017, and consisted primarily of the note receivable (included in noncurrent other assets and classified as held for sale) and long-term debt.

The other twenty-three NEER VIEs that are consolidated relate to certain subsidiaries which have sold differential membership interests in entities which own and operate wind electric generation and solar PV facilities with the capability of producing a total of approximately 6,035 MW and 374 MW, respectively. These entities sell their electric output either under power sales contracts to third parties with expiration dates ranging from 2018 through 2051 or in the spot market. These entities are considered VIEs because the holders of differential membership interests do not have substantive rights over the significant activities of these entities. Certain entities have third-party debt which is secured by liens against the generation facilities and the other assets of these entities or by pledges of NEER's ownership interest in these entities. The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NEER for the repayment of debt. The assets and liabilities of these VIEs totaled approximately $9.5 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, at ~~June~~September 30, ~~2018.~~2018, including amounts classified as held for sale (see Note 11 - Assets and Liabilities Associated with Assets Held for Sale). There were thirty-one consolidated VIEs at December 31, 2017 which included seven NEP-owned projects prior to the NEP deconsolidation; the assets and liabilities of those VIEs totaled approximately $13.1 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively. At ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the assets and liabilities of the VIEs consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt, and also deferral related to differential membership interests at December 31, 2017.

Other - At ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, several NEE subsidiaries had investments totaling approximately ~~$2,717~~$2,883 million ($~~2,246~~2,390 million at FPL) and $2,634 million ($2,195 million at FPL), respectively, which are included in special use funds and noncurrent other assets on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheets and in special use funds on FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. These investments represented primarily commingled funds and mortgage-backed securities. NEE subsidiaries, including FPL, are not the primary beneficiaries 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.

Certain subsidiaries of NEE have noncontrolling interests in entities accounted for under the equity method. These entities are limited partnerships or similar entity structures in which the limited partners or nonmanaging members do not have substantive rights, and therefore are considered VIEs. NEE is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have a controlling financial interest in these entities, and therefore does not consolidate any of these entities. Beginning in January 2018, as a result of the deconsolidation of NEP, NEE records its noncontrolling interest in NEP OpCo as an equity method investment. NEE’s investment in these entities totaled approximately ~~$4,733~~$4,782 million and $248 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Subsidiaries of NEE had committed to invest an additional approximately ~~$65~~$60 million and $75 million in three of these entities at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

10. Debt

Significant long-term debt issuances during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 were as follows:


	Principal Amount		Interest Rate					Maturity Date	Principal Amount		Interest Rate					Maturity Date
	(millions)								(millions)
FPL - First mortgage bonds	$	1,500	3.950	%	-	4.125%		2048	$	1,500	3.950	%	-	4.125%		2048
NEECH - Debentures	$	1,200	Variable				^(a)	2019 - 2021	$	2,341	Variable				^(a)	2019 - 2021

———————————————


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

In August 2018, NEECH completed a remarketing of approximately $700 million aggregate principal amount of its Series H Debentures due September 1, 2020 (Series H Debentures) that were issued in September 2015 as components of equity units issued concurrently by NEE (September 2015 equity units). The Series H Debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NEE. In connection with the remarketing of the Series H Debentures, the interest rate on the Series H Debentures was reset to 3.342% per year, and interest is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2018. In connection with the settlement of the contracts to purchase NEE common stock that were issued as components of the September 2015 equity units, in the third quarter of 2018, NEE issued 6,215,998 shares of common stock in exchange for $700 million.

11. Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

Revenue and Rates - In May 2018, the Florida Supreme Court affirmed the FPSC’s final order approving the 2016 rate agreement, which had been appealed by the Sierra Club.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - Effective January 1, 2018, NEE and FPL adopted an accounting standards update that clarified the definition of a business. The revised guidance affects the evaluation of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition or disposition of an asset or a business. NEE and FPL adopted this guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2018.

Restricted Cash - In the fourth quarter of 2017, NEE and FPL early adopted an accounting standards update which requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. NEE and FPL adopted the standards update retrospectively, which adoption did not have a material impact on NEE’s or FPL’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, NEE had approximately ~~$258~~$224 million ($74102 million for FPL) and $269 million ($141 million for FPL), respectively, of restricted cash, of which approximately ~~$245~~$198 million ($6176 million for FPL) and $247 million ($128 million for FPL), respectively, is included in current other assets and the remaining balance is included in noncurrent other assets on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash is primarily related to debt service payments, bond proceeds held for construction at FPL and margin cash collateral requirements. In addition, where offsetting positions exist, restricted cash related to margin cash collateral is netted against derivative instruments, which totaled ~~$53~~$70 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2018. See Note 4.

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which requires, among other things, that lessees recognize a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments, and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) (new lease standard). The new lease standard also requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures for both lessees and lessors. The new lease standard will be effective for NEE and FPL beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The new lease standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of initial application.

NEE and FPL are currently reviewing their portfolio of contracts and evaluating the proper application of the new lease standard to these contracts in order to determine the impact the adoption will have on their consolidated financial statements, including timing of adoption. NEE and FPL are implementing a number of system enhancements to facilitate the identification, tracking and reporting of leases based upon the requirements of the new lease standard. NEE and FPL are continuing to assess the transition options and practical expedients and monitoring industry implementation issues.

Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets - Effective January 1, 2018, NEE and FPL adopted an accounting standards update regarding the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets using the modified retrospective approach, resulting in cumulative effects being recognized on January 1, 2018. This standards update affects the accounting and related financial statement

NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

(unaudited)

presentation for the sales of differential membership interests to third-party investors and the sales of NEER assets to indirect subsidiaries of NEP. The adoption of this standards update did not have an impact on FPL.

For the sales of differential membership interests to third-party investors, NEE recorded an increase to retained earnings of approximately $34 million ($56 million pretax) and a reduction to additional paid-in capital of $77 million ($59 million after tax) on January 1, 2018. In addition, the liability reflected as deferral related to differential membership interests - VIEs on NEE's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2017 was reclassified to noncontrolling interests. Beginning in 2018, as the third-party investors receive their portion of the economic attributes of the related facilities, NEE records such amounts as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Prior to the adoption of this standards update, the income related to differential membership interests was recognized in benefits associated with differential membership interests - net in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income. Additionally, net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 includes

~~NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

~~(unaudited)~~

approximately $497 million ($373 million after tax) related to a reduction of differential membership interests as a result of the change in federal income tax rates effective January 1, 2018.

Also upon adoption of the standards update, the profit sharing liability associated with the sales of NEER assets to NEP was eliminated and NEE recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital of approximately $842 million ($652 million after tax) and a reduction to retained earnings of approximately $52 million ($69 million pretax) on January 1, 2018. Due to the deconsolidation of NEP, the previous accounting guidance would not have had an impact on NEE's 2018 financial statements, but rather the profit sharing liability would have increased the gain on NEP deconsolidation.

Assets and Liabilities Associated with Assets Held for Sale - In August 2018, subsidiaries of NEER entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of NEP to sell ownership interests in ten wind generation facilities and one solar generation facility located in the Midwest, South and West regions of the U.S. with a total generating capacity of 1,388 MW at September 30, 2018, for a cash purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion, subject to certain adjustments, and NEP's assumption of approximately $930 million in existing noncontrolling interests related to differential membership investors. A NEER affiliate will continue to operate the facilities included in the sale under an existing service agreement. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018, pending the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets related to the facilities that were classified as held for sale on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2018 primarily represent property, plant and equipment. Liabilities associated with assets held for sale, which is included in current other liabilities on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheets, was approximately $80 million at September 30, 2018 and primarily represent long-term debt.

In January 2017, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of NEE completed the sale of its membership interests in its fiber-optic telecommunications business for net cash proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion, after repayment of $370 million of related long-term debt. In connection with the sale and the related consolidating state income tax effects, a gain of approximately $1.1 billion (approximately $685 million after tax) was recorded in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and is included in ~~gains~~losses (gains) on disposal of a business/assets - net.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments - NEE and its subsidiaries have made commitments in connection with a portion of their projected capital expenditures. Capital expenditures at FPL include, among other things, the cost for construction or acquisition of additional facilities and equipment to meet customer demand, as well as capital improvements to and maintenance of existing facilities and the procurement of nuclear fuel. At NEER, capital expenditures include, among other things, the cost, including capitalized interest, for construction and development of wind and solar projects and the procurement of nuclear fuel, as well as equity contributions to joint ventures for the construction of natural gas pipeline assets. Capital expenditures for Corporate and Other primarily include the cost to maintain existing transmission facilities at NEET.

FPL made an approximately $90 million payment to JEA, the 80% owner of St. Johns River Power Park coal units (SJRPP), in connection with the shutdown of SJRPP in January 2018, which had the effect of terminating a 375 MW take-or-pay purchased power contract, retiring SJRPP and eliminating FPL's 20% ownership interest. In connection with the FPSC's approval of the retirement, FPL recorded a regulatory asset of approximately $90 million at December 31, 2017, which is being amortized over the remaining life of the take-or-pay purchased power contract (October 2021) and recovered through the capacity clause. In January 2018, NEE and FPL reclassified the SJRPP net book value of approximately $191 million to a regulatory asset. Approximately $150 million of the regulatory asset will be amortized over 15 years in base rates beginning July 1, 2018 and the remainder will be amortized over 10 years through the environmental cost recovery clause beginning when FPL's base rates are next adjusted in a general base rate case. In addition, in connection with the shutdown of the plant, FPL had regulatory liabilities of approximately $62 million at December 31, 2017, which is being refunded to customers through the capacity clause over the remaining life of the take-or-pay purchased power contract.

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, NEE maintains $450 million of private liability insurance per site, which is the maximum obtainable, and participates in a secondary financial protection system, which provides up to $12.6 billion of liability insurance coverage per incident at any nuclear reactor in the U.S. Under the secondary financial protection system, NEE is subject to retrospective assessments of up to $1.0 billion ($509 million for FPL), plus any applicable taxes, per incident at any nuclear reactor in the U.S., payable at a rate not to exceed $152 million ($76 million for FPL) per incident per year. NEE 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 $15 million, $38 million and $19 million, plus any applicable taxes, per incident, respectively.

NEE 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 and a sublimit of $1.5 billion for non-nuclear perils, except for Duane Arnold which has a sublimit of $1.0 billion. NEE participates in co-insurance of 10% of the first $400 million of losses per site per occurrence. The proceeds from such insurance, however, must first be used for reactor stabilization and site decontamination before they can be used for plant repair. NEE 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 NEE's or another participating insured's nuclear plants, NEE could be assessed up to $177 million ($108 million for FPL), plus any applicable taxes, in retrospective premiums in a policy year. NEE 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, $5 million and $4 million, plus any applicable taxes, respectively.

Due to the high cost and limited coverage available from third-party insurers, NEE does not have property insurance coverage for a substantial portion of either its transmission and distribution property or natural gas pipeline assets. If FPL's future storm restoration costs exceed the storm reserve, 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 NEE and FPL and could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

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

OVERVIEW

NEE’s operating performance is driven primarily by the operations of its two principal subsidiaries, FPL, which serves nearly five million customer accounts in Florida and is one of the largest electric utilities in the U.S., and NEER, which together with affiliated entities is the world's largest operator of wind and solar projects based on 2017 MWh produced. The table below presents net income (loss) attributable to NEE and earnings (loss) per share attributable to NEE, assuming dilution, by reportable segment, FPL and NEER, and by Corporate and Other, which is primarily comprised of the operating results of NEET and other business activities, as well as other income and expense items, including interest expense, income taxes and eliminating entries (See Note 13 for additional segment information). The following discussions should be read in conjunction with the Notes contained herein and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the 2017 Form 10-K. The results of operations for an interim period generally will not give a true indication of results for the year. In the following discussions, all comparisons are with the corresponding items in the prior year periods.

Adjusted Earnings

NEE prepares its financial statements under GAAP. However, management uses earnings ~~excluding~~adjusted for certain items (adjusted earnings), a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, analysis of performance, reporting of results to the Board of Directors and as an input in determining performance-based compensation under NEE’s employee incentive compensation plans. NEE also uses adjusted earnings when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. NEE’s management believes that adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of NEE's fundamental earnings power. Although ~~the excluded~~these amounts are properly ~~included~~reflected in the determination of net income under GAAP, 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 under GAAP.

The following table provides details of the after-tax adjustments to net income considered in computing NEE's adjusted earnings discussed above.

(a)

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017, approximately ~~$35~~$106 million and ~~$57~~$13 million of losses, respectively, and for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017, approximately ~~$59~~$47 million of losses and ~~$70~~$57 million of gains, respectively, are included in NEER's net income; the balance is included in Corporate and Other. The change in non-qualifying hedge activity is primarily attributable to changes in forward power and natural gas prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, as well as the reversal of previously recognized unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses as the underlying transactions were realized.

(b)

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, approximately ~~$19~~$36 million of unfavorable and ~~$448~~$412 million of favorable tax reform-related impacts, ~~are included in NEER's net income;~~respectively, relates to NEER and the balance ~~is included in~~relates to Corporate and Other. See Note 11 - Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets for a discussion of the impact of tax reform on differential membership interests.


(c)	For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, approximately ~~$89~~$18 million ~~of losses~~ and ~~$2,910~~$2,892 million, ~~of gains are included in NEER's net income;~~respectively, relates to NEER and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the balance ~~is included in~~relates to Corporate and Other. See Note 2.


(d)	For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, approximately $2$21 million of ~~losses~~gains are included in NEER's net income; the balance is included in Corporate and Other. Amounts shown for the remaining periods are included in NEER's net income.


(e)	See Note 11 - Assets and Liabilities Associated with Assets Held for Sale for a discussion of the sale of the fiber-optic telecommunications business.

NEE segregates into two categories unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses and timing impacts related to derivative transactions. The first category, referred to as non-qualifying hedges, represents certain energy derivative, interest rate derivative and foreign currency transactions entered into as economic hedges, which do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, or for which hedge accounting treatment is not elected or has been discontinued. Changes in the fair value of those transactions are marked to market and reported in the condensed consolidated statements of income, resulting in earnings volatility because the economic offset to certain of the positions are generally not marked to market. As a consequence, NEE's net income reflects only the movement in one part of economically-linked transactions. For example, a gain (loss) in the non-qualifying hedge category for certain energy derivatives 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 GAAP. For this reason, NEE's management views results expressed excluding the impact of the non-qualifying hedges as a meaningful measure of current period performance. The second category, referred to as trading activities, which is included in adjusted earnings, represents the net unrealized effect of actively traded positions entered into to take advantage of expected market price movements and all other commodity hedging activities. 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. See Note 4.4.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary

Net income attributable to NEE for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 was higher than the prior year period by $2$160 million, reflecting higher results at FPL and Corporate and Other, partly offset by lower results at ~~NEER and Corporate and Other.~~NEER. Net income attributable to NEE for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 was higher than the prior year period by ~~$2,847~~$3,006 million, reflecting higher results at FPL and NEER, partly offset by lower results at Corporate and Other.

FPL's increase in net income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 was primarily driven by ~~higher retail base revenues~~continued investments in plant in service and ~~lower income tax expense, partly offset by the absence of reserve amortization. For the period ended June 30, 2018,~~other property. FPL earned aan 11.60% regulatory ROE on its retail rate base, based on a thirteen month trailing average retail rate base as of ~~approximately 11.48%~~September 30, 2018, compared to an 11.50% regulatory ROE for the comparable period ~~ended June 30,~~in 2017.

NEER's results decreased ~~slightly~~ for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 ~~however,~~ ~~for~~primarily reflecting higher losses from non-qualifying hedge activity, partly offset by lower income tax expense primarily related to the ~~six~~reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate.

NEE's effective income tax rates for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017 were ~~25%~~approximately 12% and ~~26%~~30%, respectively, and for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017 were ~~25%~~23% and 29%, respectively. The decrease in rates for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 primarily reflects lower federal corporate income tax rates due to tax reform, partly offset by the impact of state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits and the impact of PTCs and ITCs. Additionally, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, the effective income tax rate was impacted by an adjustment related to differential membership interests. See Note 6.

In May 2018, NEE and a wholly owned subsidiary of NEE entered into three separate agreements with Southern to acquire Gulf Power, FCG and the entities holding Southern’s ownership interests in two natural gas generation facilities. In July 2018, NEE completed the acquisition of FCG. See Note 7.

FPL: Results of Operations

Investments in plant in service and other property grew FPL's average retail rate base for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 by approximately ~~$3.2~~$3.4 billion and ~~$2.9~~$3.1 billion, respectively, when compared to the same ~~period~~periods in the prior year, reflecting, among other things, solar generation additions and ongoing transmission and distribution additions.

The use of reserve amortization is permitted by a December 2016 FPSC final order approving a stipulation and settlement between FPL and several intervenors in FPL's base rate proceeding (2016 rate agreement). In order to earn a targeted regulatory ROE, subject to limitations associated with the 2016 rate agreement, reserve amortization is calculated using a trailing thirteen-month average of retail rate base and capital structure in conjunction with the trailing twelve months regulatory retail base net operating income, which primarily includes the retail base portion of base and other revenues, net of O&M, depreciation and amortization, interest and tax expenses. In general, the net impact of these income statement line items must be adjusted, in part, by reserve amortization to earn the targeted regulatory ROE. In certain periods, reserve amortization is reversed so as not to exceed the targeted regulatory ROE. The drivers of FPL's net income not reflected in the reserve amortization calculation typically include wholesale and transmission service revenues and expenses, cost recovery clause revenues and expenses, AFUDC - equity and revenue and costs not recoverable from retail customers by the FPSC. During both the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, FPL ~~did not record any~~recorded the reversal of reserve amortization ~~as there was no amount remaining in accrued asset removal costs related to~~of approximately $301 million, partially restoring the reserve amortization ~~(see below).~~used in December 2017 as discussed below. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017, FPL recorded the reversal of reserve amortization of approximately ~~$17~~$124 million and ~~$228 million.~~

reserve amortization of $104 million, respectively.

In September 2017, Hurricane Irma passed through Florida causing damage to much of FPL’s service territory. In December 2017, following the enactment of tax reform, FPL determined that it would not seek recovery of Hurricane Irma storm restoration costs through a storm surcharge from customers and, as a result, the regulatory asset associated with Hurricane Irma was written off in December 2017 as storm restoration costs. The FPSC has scheduled a hearing in February 2019 to evaluate FPL's Hurricane Irma storm restoration costs. As allowed under the 2016 rate agreement, FPL used available reserve amortization to offset nearly all of the expense, and plans to partially restore the reserve amortization through tax savings generated during the term of the 2016 rate agreement. In February 2018, the FPSC opened separate dockets for FPL and several other utilities in Florida to address the impacts of tax reform. FPL's hearing before the FPSC to address tax reform has been scheduled for February 2019. FPL believes that the benefits of tax reform will be realized by FPL's customers in accordance with the 2016 rate agreement as discussed above.

In July 2018, the FPSC approved a settlement agreement between FPL and the Office of Public Counsel regarding the recovery of storm costs related to Hurricane Matthew. As part of the settlement agreement, FPL ~~will issue~~issued a one-time refund to customers totaling approximately $28 million in August 2018.

Operating Revenues

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, FPL’s operating revenues decreased ~~$183~~$78 million and ~~$90~~$168 million, respectively. Retail base revenues increased approximately ~~$29~~$127 million and ~~$139~~$266 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, respectively, reflecting additional revenues of approximately ~~$84~~$92 million and ~~$145~~$237 million, respectively, related to new retail base rates under the 2016 rate agreement. Retail base revenues during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 were also impacted by ~~decreases~~an increase of ~~4.4%~~1.4% and ~~1.7%~~a decrease of 0.5%, respectively, in the average usage per retail customer and ~~an increase~~increases of 1.2% and 1.1% in the average number of customer accounts for ~~both~~the respective periods. ~~Milder weather~~In September 2017, Hurricane Irma contributed to lower retail usage, resulting in an approximately $60 million reduction in retail base revenues for the ~~overall decrease in revenues.~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, FPL's operating revenues decreased by approximately ~~$94~~$79 million and ~~$110~~$212 million, respectively, due to a decrease in fuel cost recovery revenues primarily as a result of lower average fuel factors and decreased ~~$81~~$122 million and ~~$52~~$174 million, respectively, due to lower storm-related revenues primarily as a result of the conclusion of the Hurricane Matthew surcharge in February 2018.

Fuel, Purchased Power and Interchange Expense

Fuel, purchased power and interchange expense decreased ~~$128~~$95 million and ~~$184~~$278 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, respectively, reflecting lower fuel charges of approximately ~~$68~~$33 million and ~~$34~~$66 million, respectively, primarily due to lower fuel prices. The decreases also reflect the deferral of approximately ~~$39~~$19 million and ~~$64~~$83 million of retail fuel costs for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018,, respectively, compared to the ~~deferral~~recognition of approximately ~~$10~~$16 million ~~retail fuel costs~~ and ~~the recognition of $19~~$35 million of deferred retail fuel costs in the respective prior year periods. Fuel, purchased power and interchange expense also reflects decreases of approximately ~~$31~~$26 million and ~~$67~~$93 million during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, respectively, primarily as a result of the shutdown of SJRPP in January 2018, which had the effect of terminating a 375 MW take-or-pay purchased power contract. See Note 12 - Contracts.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense ~~decreased $26~~increased $100 million and ~~increased $246~~$346 million during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, respectively. ~~The increase for~~FPL recorded a reversal of $301 million reserve amortization in the ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 ~~primarily reflects~~compared to a reversal of $124 million in the ~~absence of approximately $228 million of~~three months ended September 30, 2017 and reserve amortization ~~recorded during~~of $104 million in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017. Reserve amortization reflects adjustments to accrued asset removal costs provided under the 2016 rate agreement in order to achieve the targeted regulatory ROE. Reserve amortization is recorded as a reduction to accrued asset removal costs which is included in noncurrent regulatory liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, ~~no amounts remain in~~there were approximately $301 million of accrued asset removal costs related to reserve amortization. The ~~decrease~~increase in depreciation and amortization expense during the three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 ~~primarily reflects~~was partially offset by lower storm-recovery cost amortization as a result of the conclusion of the Hurricane Matthew surcharge in February ~~2018, partly offset by higher depreciation related to higher plant in service balances.~~2018.

Income Taxes

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, FPL’s income taxes decreased ~~$137~~$204 million and ~~$288~~$493 million, respectively, primarily related to the decrease in federal corporate income tax rates.

NEER: Results of Operations

NEER’s net income less net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased ~~$27~~$78 million and increased ~~$3,423~~$3,345 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, respectively. The primary drivers, on an after-tax basis, of the changes are in the following table.

Supplemental to the primary drivers of the changes in NEER's net income less net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests discussed above, the discussion below describes changes in certain line items set forth in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income as they relate to NEER.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 decreased ~~$133~~$313 million primarily due to:

higher losses from non-qualifying commodity hedges ($226 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $24 million for the comparable period in 2017), and

lower revenues of approximately ~~$196~~$173 million related to the deconsolidation of NEP, ~~and~~

~~higher losses from non-qualifying commodity hedges ($88 million for the~~ ~~three months ended June 30, 2018~~ ~~compared to $66 million for the comparable period in 2017),~~

partly offset by,

~~higher revenues from new investments of approximately $32 million, and~~

~~higher~~other increases in revenues of ~~approximately $43~~$62 million, ~~from non-renewable existing assets~~ primarily related to the ~~absence of 2017 refueling outages.~~gas infrastructure business and new investments.

Operating revenues for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 decreased ~~$311~~$623 million primarily due to:

lower revenues of approximately ~~$369~~$544 million related to the deconsolidation of NEP, and

the ~~absence~~impact of ~~gains~~losses from non-qualifying commodity hedges ($5231 million of losses for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 compared to ~~$141~~$117 million of gains for the comparable period in 2017),

partly offset by,

~~higher~~other increases in revenues of ~~approximately $85~~$269 million, ~~from non-renewable existing assets~~ primarily related to the gas infrastructure business and new investments.

Operating Expenses - net

Operating expenses - net for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased $40 million primarily due to:

the absence of ~~2017 refueling outages and favorable generation due~~approximately $100 million of operating expenses related to ~~winter weather,~~NEP which is no longer consolidated,

partly offset by,

higher ~~revenues from new investments~~O&M expense of ~~approximately $66~~$33 million ~~and~~

~~higher revenues from~~at the customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading ~~business.~~and gas infrastructure businesses, and

higher operating expenses associated with new investments of $12 million.

~~Operating Expenses - net~~

Operating expenses - net for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 decreased ~~$80~~$189 million primarily due to:

the absence of approximately ~~$107~~$303 million of operating expenses related to NEP which is no longer consolidated,

partly offset by,

higher ~~fuel~~O&M expense of ~~approximately $18~~$102 million ~~and~~

~~higher operating expenses associated with new investments of approximately $12 million.~~

~~Operating expenses - net for~~at the ~~six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $150 million primarily due to:~~

~~the absence of approximately $202 million of operating expenses related to NEP which is no longer consolidated,~~

~~partly offset by,~~

~~higher corporate expenses of $30 million including increased development activity to support growth in the business,~~customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading and gas infrastructure businesses, and

higher operating expenses associated with new investments of ~~approximately $24~~$37 million.

Interest Expense

NEER’s interest expense for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 decreased approximately ~~$102~~$84 million primarily reflecting ~~$26~~$45 million of favorable changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments compared to ~~$36~~$7 million of favorable changes in the comparable period in 2017 as well as the absence of approximately $48 million of interest expense related to NEP which is no longer consolidated. NEER’s interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased approximately $291 million primarily reflecting $148 million of favorable changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments compared to $38 million of unfavorable changes in the comparable period in 2017 as well as the absence of approximately $44 million of interest expense related to NEP which is no longer consolidated. NEER’s interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased approximately $207 million primarily reflecting $103 million of favorable changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments compared to $46 million of unfavorable changes in the comparable period in 2017 as well as the absence of approximately $89$133 million of interest expense related to NEP which is no longer consolidated. The decreases discussed above were partly offset by higher borrowing costs to support growth of the business.

Benefits Associated with Differential Membership Interests - net

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017, benefits associated with differential membership interests - net reflect benefits recognized by NEER as third-party investors received their portion of the economic attributes, including income tax attributes, of the underlying wind and solar projects, net of associated costs. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, NEER recognized income related to differential membership interests of approximately ~~$94~~$64 million and ~~$691~~$754 million, respectively, as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The increase for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 primarily relates to an adjustment of approximately $497 million ($373 million after tax) related to the ~~change~~decrease in federal corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018. See Note 11 - Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.

Equity in Earnings of Equity Method Investees

After the deconsolidation of NEP, approximately ~~$160~~$77 million and $235 million of equity in earnings of NEP was recognized during the ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018~~(see Note 2)~~, respectively, as equity in earnings of equity method ~~investees, including~~investees. See Note 2. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, equity in earnings of NEP included approximately $150 million related to ana favorable adjustment at NEP to ~~adjust~~ the differential membership interests due to the ~~change~~decrease in federal corporate income tax rates.

Gain on NEP Deconsolidation

The NEP deconsolidation resulted in a gain of approximately $3.9 billion ($3.0 billion after tax) in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018. See Note 2.

Tax Credits, Benefits and Expenses

PTCs from wind projects and ITCs and deferred income taxes associated with convertible ITCs from solar and certain wind projects are included in NEER’s earnings. PTCs are recognized as wind energy is generated and sold based on a per kWh rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes. A portion of the PTCs and ITCs have been allocated to investors in connection with sales of differential membership interests. Also see Note 6 for a discussion of tax reform-related impacts and PTCs, ITCs and deferred income taxes associated with convertible ITCs.

Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily represents the activity related to the sales of differential membership interests. See Benefits Associated with Differential Membership Interests - net above and Note 11 - Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily represented the income attributable to the noncontrolling ownership interest in NEP. After the deconsolidation of NEP, NEE's earnings from its noncontrolling interest in NEP are included in equity in earnings of equity method investees. See Note 2.

~~Capital Initiatives~~NEP

~~During the six months ended June 30,~~In August 2018, subsidiaries of NEER ~~placed~~entered into ~~service approximately 144 MW~~an agreement with a subsidiary of ~~new~~NEP to sell ownership interests in ten wind generation facilities and one solar generation facility with a generating capacity totaling approximately 1,388 MW. See Note 11 - Assets and ~~101 MW of wind repowering generating capacity, as well as sold approximately 244 MW of wind generating capacity.~~Liabilities Associated with Assets Held for Sale.

Corporate and Other: Results of Operations

Corporate and Other is primarily comprised of the operating results of NEET and other business activities, as well as corporate interest income and expenses. Corporate and Other allocates a portion of NEECH's corporate interest expense to NEER. Interest expense is allocated based on a deemed capital structure of 70% debt and, for purposes of allocating NEECH's corporate interest expense, differential membership interests sold by NEER's subsidiaries are 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.

Corporate and Other's results ~~decreased $71~~increased $150 million and ~~$715~~decreased $566 million during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, respectively. The ~~decrease~~increase for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 primarily reflects ~~higher~~ net ~~losses~~gains from non-qualifying hedge activity and favorable consolidating income tax ~~charges primarily related to an unfavorable tax ruling.~~adjustments. The decrease for the ~~six~~nine months is primarily due to the absence of the approximately $685 million after-tax gain on sale of the fiber-optic telecommunications business in January ~~2017. See~~2017 (see Note 11 - Assets and Liabilities Associated with Assets Held for ~~Sale.~~Sale) partly offset by lower net losses from non-qualifying hedge activity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

NEE and its subsidiaries 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 cash flows from operations, short- and long-term borrowings, the issuance of short- and long-term debt and, from time to time, equity securities, and proceeds from differential membership investors, consistent with NEE’s and FPL’s objective of maintaining, on a long-term basis, a capital structure that will support a strong investment grade credit rating. NEE, FPL and NEECH 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 NEE, FPL and NEECH 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.

Cash Flows

NEE's sources and uses of cash for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

NEE's primary capital requirements are for expanding and enhancing FPL's electric system and generation facilities to continue to provide reliable service to meet customer electricity demands and for funding NEER's investments in independent power and other projects. See Note 12 – Commitments for estimated capital expenditures for the remainder of 2018 through 2022. The following table provides a summary of the major capital investments for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017.

(a)

Provide for the funding of loans up to $7,940 million ($2,943 million for FPL) and the issuance of letters of credit up to $2,450 million ($575 million for FPL). The entire amount of the credit facilities is available for general corporate purposes 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 $838 million of pollution control, solid waste disposal and industrial development revenue bonds (tax exempt bonds) in the event they are tendered by individual bondholders and not remarketed prior to maturity. Approximately $2,389 million of FPL's and $3,871 million of NEECH's bank revolving line of credit facilities expire in 2023.


(b)	Only available for the issuance of letters of credit.

Capital Support

Guarantees, Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Indemnifications (Guarantee Arrangements)

Certain subsidiaries of NEE issue guarantees and obtain letters of credit and surety bonds, as well as provide indemnities, to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties and financings. Substantially all of the guarantee arrangements are on behalf of NEE’s consolidated subsidiaries, as discussed in more detail below. NEE is not required to recognize liabilities associated with guarantee arrangements issued on behalf of its consolidated subsidiaries unless it becomes probable that they will be required to perform. At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, NEE believes that there is no material exposure related to these guarantee arrangements.

NEE subsidiaries issue guarantees related to equity contribution agreements associated with the development, construction and financing of certain power generation facilities, engineering, procurement and construction agreements and equity contributions associated with natural gas pipeline projects under construction and a related natural gas transportation agreement. Commitments associated with these activities are included in the contracts table in Note 12.

In addition, at ~~June~~September 30, 2018, NEE subsidiaries had approximately $4.1 billion in guarantees related to obligations under purchased power agreements, nuclear-related activities, payment obligations related to PTCs, as well as other types of contractual obligations.

In some instances, subsidiaries of NEE elect to issue guarantees instead of posting other forms of collateral required under certain financing arrangements, as well as for other project-level cash management activities. At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, these guarantees totaled approximately ~~$668~~$684 million and support, among other things, cash management activities, including those related to debt service and O&M service agreements, as well as other specific project financing requirements.

Subsidiaries of NEE also issue guarantees to support customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading activities, including the buying and selling of wholesale and retail energy commodities. At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, the estimated mark-to-market exposure (the total amount that these subsidiaries of NEE could be required to fund based on energy commodity market prices at ~~June~~September 30, 2018) plus contract settlement net payables, net of collateral posted for obligations under these guarantees totaled approximately ~~$703~~$802 million.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, subsidiaries of NEE also had approximately $1.4 billion of standby letters of credit and approximately ~~$306~~$327 million of surety bonds to support certain of the commercial activities discussed above. FPL's and NEECH's credit facilities are available to support the amount of the standby letters of credit.

In addition, as part of contract negotiations in the normal course of business, certain subsidiaries of NEE have agreed and in the future may agree to make payments to compensate or indemnify other parties, including those associated with asset divestitures, for possible unfavorable financial consequences resulting from specified events. The specified events may include, but are not limited to, an adverse judgment in a lawsuit or the imposition of additional taxes due to a change in tax law or interpretations of the tax law, or the triggering of cash grant recapture provisions under the Recovery Act. NEE is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under some of these contracts because events that would obligate them to make payments have not yet occurred or, if any such event has occurred, they have not been notified of its occurrence.

Certain guarantee arrangements described above contain requirements for NEECH and FPL to maintain a specified credit rating. NEE has guaranteed certain payment obligations of NEECH, including most of its debt and all of its debentures and commercial paper issuances, as well as most of its payment guarantees and indemnifications, and NEECH has guaranteed certain debt and other obligations of NEER and its subsidiaries.

Shelf Registration

In July 2018, NEE, NEECH and FPL filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for an unspecified amount of securities, which became effective upon filing. The amount of securities issuable by the companies is established from time to time by their respective boards of directors. Securities that may be issued under the registration statement include, depending on the registrant, senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities, junior subordinated debentures, first mortgage bonds, common stock, preferred stock, stock purchase contracts, stock purchase units, warrants and guarantees related to certain of those securities.

New Accounting Rules and Interpretations

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which requires, among other things, that lessees recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. See Note 11 - Leases.

ENERGY MARKETING AND TRADING AND MARKET RISK SENSITIVITY

NEE and FPL are exposed to risks associated with adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates and equity prices. Financial instruments and positions affecting the financial statements of NEE 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 or equity prices over the next year. Management has established risk management policies to monitor and manage such market risks, as well as credit risks.

Commodity Price Risk

NEE and FPL use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options, futures and forwards) to manage the physical and financial risks inherent in the purchase and sale of fuel and electricity. In addition, NEE, through NEER, uses derivatives to optimize the value of its power generation and gas infrastructure assets and engages in power and gas marketing and trading activities to take advantage of expected future favorable price movements. See Note 4.

The changes in the fair value of NEE's consolidated subsidiaries' energy contract derivative instruments for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 were as follows:

With respect to commodities, the EMC, which is comprised of certain members of senior management, and NEE's chief executive officer are responsible for the overall approval of market risk management policies and the delegation of approval and authorization levels. The EMC and NEE's chief executive officer receive periodic updates on market positions and related exposures, credit exposures and overall risk management activities.

NEE uses a value-at-risk (VaR) model to measure commodity price 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. 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 FPL cost recovery clauses category do not represent the economic exposure to commodity price movements.

Interest Rate Risk

NEE's and FPL's financial results are exposed to risk resulting from changes in interest rates as a result of their respective outstanding and expected future issuances of debt, investments in special use funds and other investments. NEE and FPL manage their respective interest rate exposure by monitoring current interest rates, entering into interest rate contracts and using a combination of fixed rate and variable rate debt. Interest rate contracts are used to mitigate and adjust interest rate exposure when deemed appropriate based upon market conditions or when required by financing agreements.

The following are estimates of the fair value of NEE's and FPL's financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk:

(a)	See Note 5.

The special use funds of NEE and FPL consist of restricted funds set aside to cover the cost of storm damage for FPL and for the decommissioning of NEE's and FPL's nuclear power plants. A portion of these funds is invested in fixed income debt securities primarily carried at estimated fair value. At FPL, changes in fair value, including any OTTI losses, result in a corresponding adjustment to the related regulatory asset or liability accounts based on current regulatory treatment. The changes in fair value of NEE'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 in the near term.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, NEE had interest rate contracts with a notional amount of approximately ~~$13.0~~$15.9 billion related to outstanding and expected future debt issuances and borrowings, of which approximately ~~$10.6~~$13.5 billion manages exposure to the variability of cash flows associated with outstanding and expected future debt issuances at NEECH and NEER. The remaining $2.4 billion of notional amount of interest rate contracts effectively convert fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt instruments at NEECH. ~~In July 2018, NEECH entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $3 billion to manage interest rate risk associated with forecasted debt issuances.~~ See Note 4.

Based upon a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, which is a reasonable near-term market change, the fair value of NEE's net liabilities would increase by approximately ~~$1,687~~$1,629 million ($~~602~~598 million for FPL) at ~~June~~September 30, 2018.

Equity Price Risk

NEE and FPL are exposed to risk resulting from changes in prices for equity securities. For example, NEE’s nuclear decommissioning reserve funds include marketable equity securities primarily carried at their market value of approximately ~~$3,362~~$3,560 million and $3,314 million ($~~2,040~~2,179 million and $2,035 million for FPL) at ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. NEE's and FPL’s investment strategy for equity securities in their nuclear decommissioning reserve funds emphasizes primarily marketable securities which are broadly diversified. At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, a hypothetical 10% decrease in the prices quoted on stock exchanges, which is a reasonable near-term market change, would result in a ~~$308~~$328 million ($~~189~~203 million for FPL) reduction in fair value. For FPL, a corresponding adjustment would be made to the related regulatory liability accounts based on current regulatory treatment, and for NEE’s non-rate regulated operations, a corresponding amount would be recorded in change in unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities held in NEER's nuclear decommissioning funds - net in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income.

Credit Risk

NEE 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. NEE 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. NEE’s credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates, both on an individual and an aggregate basis. For all derivative and contractual transactions, NEE’s energy marketing and trading operations, which include FPL’s energy marketing and trading division, are exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to these transactions. Some relevant considerations when assessing NEE’s energy marketing and trading operations’ credit risk exposure include the following:

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 U.S.

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.

Master netting agreements are used to offset cash and noncash gains and losses arising from derivative instruments with the same counterparty. NEE’s policy is to have master netting agreements in place with significant counterparties.

Based on NEE’s policies and risk exposures related to credit, NEE and FPL do not anticipate a material adverse effect on their financial statements as a result of counterparty nonperformance. At ~~June~~September 30, 2018, approximately ~~91%~~90% of NEE’s and ~~97%~~99% of FPL’s energy marketing and trading counterparty credit risk exposure is associated with companies that have investment grade credit ratings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2018, each of NEE and FPL had performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including NEE'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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of each of NEE and FPL concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2018.


(b)	Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

NEE 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 NEE and FPL. However, there has been no change in NEE's or FPL's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during NEE's and FPL's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, NEE's or FPL's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the 2017 Form 10-K. The factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2017 Form 10-K, as well as other information set forth in this report, which could materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects should be carefully considered. The risks described in the 2017 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing NEE and FPL. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to NEE or FPL, or that are currently deemed to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect NEE's or FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
