ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF PROXY MATERIALS

Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), NextEra Energy Partners is furnishing proxy materials to its unitholders on the internet, rather than mailing paper copies of the materials to each unitholder.

On or about March ~~8, 2019,~~6, 2020, NextEra Energy Partners mailed to its unitholders of record a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials, including the proxy statement and annual report to unitholders, on the internet. The Notice also instructs unitholders on how to access their proxy card to be able to submit their proxies on the internet or by telephone. Brokerage firms and other nominees who hold NextEra Energy Partners units on behalf of beneficial owners will be sending their own similar notice. Other unitholders, in accordance with their prior requests, have received an e-mail notification of how to access the proxy materials and submit their proxies on the internet. On or about March ~~8, 2019,~~6, 2020, NextEra Energy Partners also began mailing a full set of proxy materials to certain unitholders, including unitholders who have previously requested a paper copy of the proxy materials.

Internet distribution of the proxy materials is designed to expedite receipt by unitholders, lower the cost of the annual meeting and conserve natural resources. However, if you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice. If you have previously elected to receive NextEra Energy Partners’ proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive the materials via e-mail unless you elect otherwise.

How do I access the proxy materials if I received the Notice?

The Notice provides instructions regarding how to view NextEra Energy Partners’ proxy materials for the ~~2019~~2020 annual meeting on the internet. As explained in greater detail in the Notice, to view the proxy materials and submit your proxy, you will need to follow the instructions in the Notice and have available your 16-digit control number(s) contained in the Notice.

How do I request paper copies of the proxy materials?

Whether you hold NextEra Energy Partners units through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee (in “street name”), or hold NextEra Energy Partners units directly in your name through NextEra Energy Partners’ transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”), you may request paper copies of the ~~2019~~2020 annual meeting proxy materials by following the instructions listed at www.proxyvote.com, by telephoning 800-579-1639 or by sending an e-mail to sendmaterial@proxyvote.com.

Who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting?

Only NextEra Energy Partners unitholders at the close of business on February ~~22, 2019,~~24, 2020, the record date for the annual meeting, are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting. If you were a unitholder on that date, you will be entitled to vote all of the NextEra Energy Partners units that you held on that date at the annual meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting, subject to the voting rights discussed below inunder “What are the voting rights of the holders of the Company’s units?”. Unitholders includes holders of common units, Series A Preferred Units (“preferred units”) and Special Voting Units (“special voting units”) as of the record date.

Each reference in this Proxy Statement to a vote of record holders of units includes a vote of record holders of common units, preferred units and special voting units.

What are the voting rights of the holders of the Company’s units?

Each NextEra Energy Partners unit will be entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the annual meeting. A unit refers to any unit entitled to vote at the annual meeting, including common units, preferred units and special voting units. However, as explained below a 5% voting limitation will apply to the election of directors, and, in the circumstances described below, a separate 10% ~~vote~~of votes cast cutback ~~applies~~will apply to certain unitholders at the annual meeting.

What is the 5% voting limitation in the election of directors?

The 5% voting limitation will only ~~applies~~apply to the election of directors. A unitholder or any related group, including NextEra Energy, Inc. (“NextEra Energy”) and its affiliates (the “NextEra Energy Group”), ~~owning~~that owns more than 5% of the outstanding units as of the record date cannot vote ~~those~~more than 5% of the total outstanding units ~~that are in excess of 5%~~ in the election of directors at the annual meeting (the “5% of Outstanding Director ~~Election~~Voting Limitation”).

The following example of the 5% of Outstanding Director ~~Election~~Voting Limitation, which assumes 1,000 total units are outstanding as of the record date, is included for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual ownership of units or votes at the annual ~~meeting.~~meeting:

What is the 10% ~~vote~~of votes cast cutback in the election of directors?

In the election of directors, no unitholder may cast votes greater than 9.99% of votes actually cast. A unitholder or any related group, including the NextEra Energy Group, casting votes equal to or greater than 10% of actual votes cast will be subject to a 10% ~~vote~~of votes cast cutback so that such unitholder(s) cannot cast votes equal to more than 9.99% of the units actually cast in the election of directors at the annual meeting (the “10% Director Election Cutback”). The units cast in excess of 9.99% will be allocated and voted proportionally with all other votes cast, which will result in the total number of votes counted as being cast by the cutback unitholder to be 9.99% or less of votes cast.

The following example of the 10% Director Election Cutback, which assumes 1,000 total units are outstanding as of the record date, is included for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual ownership of units or votes at the annual ~~meeting.~~meeting:

TOTAL	430	100.0%	16	430	100%	TOTAL	430	100.0%	(16)	430	100%

In the example above, the 16 votes removed from the NextEra Energy Group and the 10% holder would be allocated and voted proportionally with all other director election votes.

How does the 10% ~~vote~~of votes cast cutback apply to the other items of business at the annual meeting?

Other than in the election of directors, the 10% ~~vote~~of votes cast cutback does not apply to the NextEra Energy ~~Group.~~Group, but is applicable to all other unitholders or groups. A unitholder or any related group, other than the NextEra Energy Group, casting votes equal to or greater than 10% of actual votes cast will be subject to a 10% ~~vote~~of votes cast cutback so that such unitholder(s) cannot cast votes equal to more than 9.99% of the units actually cast on each item to be voted (the “10% Cutback”). The units cast in excess of 9.99% will be allocated and voted proportionally with all other votes cast for each item.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the annual meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the NextEra Energy Partners units issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting the business of the meeting to be conducted.

As of the record date, ~~171,611,473~~171,643,219 NextEra Energy Partners units were outstanding, including 101,440,000 special voting units, ~~14,021,561~~4,673,855 preferred units and ~~56,149,912~~65,529,364 common units. Thus, a total of ~~171,611,473~~171,643,219 votes are entitled to be present at the annual meeting and the presence of the holders of NextEra Energy Partners units representing at least ~~85,805,737~~85,821,610 units will be required to establish a quorum.

In determining the presence of a quorum at the annual meeting, abstentions in person, proxies received but marked as abstentions as to any or all matters to be voted on that permit abstentions, and proxies received with broker non-votes on some but not all matters to be voted on will be counted as present.

A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker, bank or other holder of record that holds units for a beneficial owner (“broker”) does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary voting power for that particular proposal. Brokers may vote on ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm even if they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owners whose units they hold. However, brokers may not vote on any of the other matters ~~submitted to unitholders~~set forth in this proxy statement at the ~~2019~~2020 annual meeting unless they have received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. See the response to “What vote is required to approve the matters proposed?” on page 6 for a discussion of the effect of broker non-votes.

How do I submit my proxy or voting instructions?

On the internet or by telephone

•

On the Internet—You may submit your proxy or voting instructions on the internet 24 hours a day and up until 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on ~~Sunday,~~Monday, April ~~21, 2019~~20, 2020 by going to www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions. Please have your Notice available when you access the web page. If you hold your units in “street name,” your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee may provide additional instructions to you regarding how to submit your proxy or voting instructions on the internet.

•

By Telephone—You may submit your proxy or voting instructions by telephone by calling the toll-free telephone number (800-690-6903) found in your Notice, 24 hours a day and up until 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on ~~Sunday,~~ Monday,

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

If you are a unitholder of record and you submit your proxy on the internet or by telephone, but do not indicate your voting preferences, the persons named as proxies in the Notice will vote the units represented by that proxy as recommended by the Board on all proposals.

In person at the annual meeting

All unitholders may vote in person at the annual meeting. However, if you are a beneficial owner of units, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker and present it to the inspector of election with your ballot to be able to vote in person at the annual meeting. See the response to “Who may attend the annual meeting?” for additional information on how to attend the annual meeting.

Your vote is important. You can save us the expense of further solicitation of proxies by submitting your proxy or voting instructions promptly.

May I change my vote after I submit my proxy or voting instructions?

Yes. If you are a unitholder of record, you may revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:

•

providing written notice of the revocation to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the Company’s offices at P.O. Box 14000, 700 Universe Blvd., Juno Beach, Florida 33408-0420;

•

making timely delivery of later-dated voting instructions on the internet or by telephone; or

•

voting by ballot at the annual meeting; although, please note that attendance at the annual meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.

You may change your proxy by using any one of these methods regardless of the method you previously used to submit your proxy.

If you are a beneficial owner of units, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker. You may also change your vote in person at the annual meeting if you obtain a legal proxy as described in the answer to the previous question.

All units for which proxies have been properly submitted and not revoked will be voted at the annual meeting.

What is “householding” and how does it affect me?

NextEra Energy Partners has adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, unitholders of record who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one package containing individual copies of the Notice for each unitholder of record at the address. This procedure will reduce the volume of duplicate materials unitholders receive, conserve natural resources and reduce NextEra Energy Partners’ postage costs. Unitholders who participate in householding and request a full set of proxy materials will receive separate proxy cards.

If you are a unitholder of record and are eligible for householding, but you and other unitholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple packages containing copies of the Notice or, if requested, proxy materials in paper form, or if you hold units in more than one account, and in either case you wish to receive only a single package for your household in the future, please contact Computershare in writing at Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078 or by calling 888-218-4392. You may contact Computershare at the same mailing address or telephone number if you wish to revoke your consent to future householding mailings.

If your household receives only a single package containing a copy of the Notice or, if requested, the proxy materials, and you wish to receive a separate copy for each unitholder of record, please contact Broadridge toll-free at 866-540-7095, or write to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717, and separate copies will be provided promptly.

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

What are the Board’s recommendations?

Unless you give other instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. The Board’s recommendations are set forth together with the description of each proposal in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote:

•

FOR election as directors of the nominees specified in this proxy statement. (See Proposal 1)

•

FOR ratification of appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as NextEra Energy Partners’ independent registered public accounting firm for ~~2019.~~2020. (See Proposal 2)

•

FOR approval, by non-binding advisory vote, of the compensation of NextEra Energy Partners’ named executive officers. (See Proposal 3)

•

In accordance with the discretion of the persons acting under the proxy concerning such other business as may properly be brought before the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

What vote is required to approve the matters proposed?

•

Election as directors of the nominees specified in this proxy ~~statement~~statement——A nominee for director will be elected to the Board if the votes cast for such nominee’s election by unitholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter exceed the votes cast by such unitholders against such nominee’s election. If you are a beneficial owner, your broker is not permitted under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules to vote your units on the election of directors if your broker does not receive voting instructions from you. Without your voting instructions, a broker non-vote will occur. Since broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will have no legal effect on the election of directors. Abstentions also are ~~also~~ not considered votes cast and will have no legal effect on the election of directors. For a discussion of certain voting limitations applicable to the election of directors, please see “What are the voting rights of the holders of the Company’s units?” on page 2.

•

Ratification of appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as NextEra Energy Partners’ independent registered public accounting firm for ~~2019~~2020——The ratification of appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as NextEra Energy Partners’ independent registered public accounting firm for ~~2019~~2020 will be approved if the votes cast for the proposal by unitholders present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the matter exceed the votes cast by such unitholders against such proposal (a “Majority Vote”). Since brokers are permitted under NYSE rules to vote your units on this proposal even if your broker does not receive voting instructions from you, there are not expected to be broker non-votes on this proposal. Abstentions are not considered votes cast and will have no legal effect on whether this proposal is approved. In determining the votes cast, the 10% Cutback, as described inunder “How does the 10% vote cutback apply to the other items of business at the annual meeting?” beginning on page 3, will apply to unitholders other than the NextEra Energy Group.

•

Advisory approval of the compensation of NextEra Energy Partners’ named executive ~~officers~~officers——A Majority Vote is required to approve this non-binding advisory proposal. If your broker does not receive voting instructions from you, your broker is not permitted under NYSE rules to vote your units on this proposal. Without your voting instructions, a broker non-vote will occur. Since broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will have no legal effect on whether this proposal is approved. Abstentions also are ~~also~~ not considered votes cast and will have no legal effect on whether this proposal is approved. The vote on this proposal is advisory and the result of the vote on this proposal will not be binding on the Company or the Board. However, the Board will consider the result of the vote when making future decisions regarding named executive officer (“NEO”) compensation. In determining the votes cast, the 10% Cutback, as described inunder “How does the 10% vote cutback apply to the other items of business at the annual meeting?” beginning on page 3, will apply to unitholders other than the NextEra Energy Group.

Who pays for the solicitation of proxies?

NextEra Energy Partners is soliciting proxies, and it will bear the expense of solicitation. Proxies will be solicited principally by mail and by electronic media, although directors, officers and employees of NextEra Energy Partners or its affiliates may solicit proxies personally, by telephone or by electronic means, but without compensation other than their regular ~~compensation.~~

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

The Company’s directors and executive officers are required to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes of their beneficial ownership of NextEra Energy Partners units with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. Based solely upon a review of these filings and written representations from the directors and executive officers that no other reports were required of them, the Company believes that all required filings were timely made in ~~2018.~~2019.

The Company’s Security Trading Policy

The Company’s Security Trading Policy (the “Trading Policy”) prohibits hedging transactions with respect to securities of the Company. The Trading Policy provides in relevant part as follows: “Additional Prohibited Transactions. The Company considers it improper and inappropriate for any Company insider to engage in short-term or speculative ~~transaction~~transactions in the Company’s securities. It therefore is the Company’s policy that insiders may not engage in any of the following transactions: … Hedging Transactions. Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions with respect to the Company’s securities, such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps and collars, allow an insider to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the insider to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the insider may no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other shareholders. Therefore, these transactions are prohibited under this Policy….”

Director Independence

The NYSE does not require a listed publicly traded limited partnership, such as the Company, to have a majority of independent directors on the board of directors. ~~The~~Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board conducts an annual review regarding the independence from the Company of each of its members and, in addition, assesses the independence of any new member at the time that the new member is considered for appointment to or nomination for election to the Board. The Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances and uses the criteria set forth in the NYSE corporate governance independence standards (the “NYSE standards”), which are the applicable standards under SEC rules, to assess director independence. These standards also are ~~also~~ set forth or referred to in the Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines, which is available on the Company’s website at www.nexteraenergypartners.com. ~~The~~In order to determine that a director is independent, the Board must affirmatively determine that athe director has no material relationship with NextEra Energy Partners (directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with NextEra Energy Partners) in order to determine that the director is independent. As set forth in the Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances in making independence determinations. In particular, when. When assessing the materiality of a director’s relationship (if any) with the Company, the Board considers materiality both from the standpoint of the director and from the standpoint of persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation. Material relationships for this purpose may include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships, among others.

The NYSE standards and Rule 10A-3 under the ~~Securities~~ Exchange Act ~~of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)~~ include an additional requirement that members of the audit committee may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company other than their compensation for service as a director.

Based on its review conducted in accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines and the NYSE standards, the Board determined that Susan D. Austin, Robert J. Byrne and Peter H. Kind, constituting all three non-employee directors of NextEra Energy Partners, are independent under the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines and the NYSE standards (including the separate Audit Committee standards) ~~and the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines.~~.

Board Leadership Structure

As set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles & Guidelines, the Board believes that the decision as to who should serve as chairman and as chief executive officer, and whether the offices should be combined or separate, is properly the responsibility of the Board, to be exercised from time to time in appropriate consideration of the Company’s then-existing characteristics or circumstances. In view of the Company’s operating record, and the operational and financial opportunities and challenges faced by the Company, the Board’s judgment is that the functioning of the Board currently is best served by maintaining a structure of having one individual serve as both chairman and chief executive officer. The Board believes that having a single person acting in the capacities of chairman and chief executive officer promotes unified leadership and direction for the Board and executive management and allows for a single, clear focus for the chain of command to execute the Company’s strategic initiatives and business plans and to address its challenges.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Executive sessions of NextEra Energy Partners’ independent directors are regularly scheduled. The chairman of the Audit Committee chairs the Board executive sessions and thereafter provides feedback to the chairman of the Board. The Board believes that having regular Board executive sessions, three independent directors and the corporate governance structures and processes described in this proxy statement allow the Board to maintain effective oversight of management. Committee executive sessions are chaired by the committee chairs, all of whom are independent directors. The Board does not have a lead director.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Although it is the job of management to assess and manage the Company’s risks, the Board and its Audit Committee (each where applicable) discuss the guidelines and policies that govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken and evaluate reports from various functions with the management team on risk assessment and management. The Board interfaces regularly with management and receives periodic reports that include updates on financial, legal and other risk management matters. The Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee also reviews and assesses the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and its independent auditors. The Board receives regular reports from the Audit Committee.

Director Meetings and Attendance

The Board and its committees meet on a regular schedule and also hold special meetings from time to time. The Board met five times in ~~2018.~~2019. Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of Board meetings and meetings of the committees on which he or she served during ~~2018.~~2019.

The Company currently does not have a policy with regard to director attendance at the annual meeting of unitholders. All seven of the directors attended the ~~2017~~2019 annual meeting of unitholders.

Board Committees

The standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee and the Conflicts Committee. Each committee regularly reports its activities and actions to the full Board, generally at the next Board meeting following the committee meeting. Each of the committees operates under a charter approved by the Board and the Audit Committee conducts an annual evaluation of its performance. The charter of the Audit Committee is required to comply with the NYSE corporate governance requirements. There are no NYSE requirements for the charter of the Conflicts Committee. The current membership and functions of the committees are described below.

Compensation Committee

Because the Company is a limited partnership, it is not required by the rules of the NYSE to have a compensation committee. NextEra Energy Partners named executive officers do not receive any additional compensation for their services to NextEra Energy Partners’ business. Any compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers is reviewed and approved by the Board because it performs the functions of a compensation committee when such committee is needed.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

As discussed above, the Company does not have a compensation committee. Any compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers is reviewed and approved by the Board because it performs the functions of a compensation committee when such committee is needed. During the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, none of the directors or executive officers served as a member of a compensation committee of another entity that has, or has had, an executive officer who served as a member of the Board during ~~2018.~~2019. During the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the following officers of NextEra Energy served on the Board: Mrs. Kujawa and Messrs. Robo, Hickson ~~Ketchum~~ and ~~Armando Pimentel, Jr.~~Ketchum.

Nominating Committee

Because the Company is a limited partnership, it is not required by the rules of the NYSE to have a nominating committee. All functions of a nominating committee are performed by the Board as a whole, including consideration of director nominees.

Procedures for Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Person Transactions

The Conflicts Committee of the Board reviews and approves related person transactions to the extent required by the Partnership Agreement or to the extent that the Board seeks the approval of the Conflicts Committee.

NEP OpCo has entered into the Amended and Restated Cash Sweep and Credit Support Agreement, dated August 4, 2017 (the “CSCS Agreement”), with NextEra Energy Resources, under which:

•

NextEra Energy Resources provides certain existing limited credit support on behalf of the Company’s subsidiaries for the projects and, upon NEP OpCo’s request and at NextEra Energy Resources’ option, may agree to provide credit support on behalf of any projects the Company may acquire in the future on similar terms, and NEP OpCo will reimburse NextEra Energy Resources to the extent NextEra Energy Resources or its affiliates are required to make payments under such credit support or to post cash collateral, subject to certain exceptions; and

NEP OpCo pays NextEra Energy Resources an annual credit support fee that is based on NextEra Energy’s borrowing costs, subject to adjustment. The fee is calculated as a fixed percentage of the aggregate amount of continuing credit support provided by NextEra Energy Resources or its affiliates to the Company’s subsidiaries, excluding credit support for which the Company’s subsidiaries do not have reimbursement obligations. If the aggregate amount of such credit support by NextEra Energy Resources or its affiliates increases or decreases, the credit support fee is adjusted accordingly as determined in good faith by NextEra Energy Resources. For the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, NEP OpCo paid NextEra Energy Resources approximately $4$5.0 million under the CSCS Agreement.

The term of the CSCS Agreement is for ten years from July 1, 2014 and will automatically renew for successive five-year periods unless NEP OpCo or NextEra Energy Resources provides written notice that it does not wish the agreement to be renewed. However, in certain limited circumstances NEP OpCo is permitted to terminate the CSCS Agreement prior to the expiration of its term upon ~~90 days’~~90-day prior written notice of termination to NextEra Energy Resources.

AUDIT-RELATED MATTERS

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee submits the following report for ~~2018:~~2019:

In accordance with the written Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) assists the Board of Directors (“Board”) in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company. The Audit Committee meets and discusses, among other things, the interim financial information contained in each quarterly earnings announcement with the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer and the independent registered public accounting firm prior to public release.

As specified in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These are the responsibilities of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and management. In discharging the duties of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee has relied on (1) management’s representations to us that the financial statements prepared by management have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and (2) the report of the independent registered public accounting firm with respect to such financial statements.

The Audit Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm all communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including ~~those~~the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” and discussed and reviewed the results of the firm’s audit of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed the results of the internal audit examinations.

The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with them their independence. The Audit Committee also reviewed any relationships that may affect the objectivity and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and satisfied itself as to the firm’s independence and discussed with management, the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and the internal audit function’s organization, responsibilities, resources and staffing. The Audit Committee reviewed with both the independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditors their audit plans, audit scope and identification of audit risks.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management has the responsibility for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the independent registered public accounting firm has the responsibility for the audit of those statements.

Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, and in accordance with its audit committee charter, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm management’s internal control report, management’s assessment of the internal control structure and procedures of the Company for financial reporting and the independent registered public accounting firm’s opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, all as required to be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit Committee charter and the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy for services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, all services performed by Deloitte & Touche are approved in advance by the Audit Committee. Audit and audit-related services specifically identified in an appendix to the pre-approval policy for which the fee is expected to be $250,000 or less are pre-approved by the Audit Committee each year. This pre-approval allows management to request the specified audit and audit-related services on an as-needed basis during the year, provided any such services are reviewed with the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Any audit or audit-related service for which the fee is expected to exceed $250,000, or that involves a service not listed on the pre-approval list, must be specifically approved by the Audit Committee prior to commencement of such service. In addition, the Audit Committee approves all services other than audit and audit-related services performed by Deloitte & Touche in advance of the commencement of such work. The Audit Committee has delegated to the chair of the committee the right to approve audit, audit-related, tax and other services, within certain limitations, between meetings of the audit committee, provided any such decision is presented to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

In ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, no services provided to NextEra Energy Partners by Deloitte & Touche were approved by the Audit Committee after services were rendered pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X (which provides for a waiver of the otherwise applicable pre-approval requirement if certain conditions are met). Additionally, none of the services were approved after services were rendered pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

All of the executive officers of the Company also are ~~also~~ employees of NextEra Energy. NextEra Energy compensates these officers for the performance of their duties as employees of NextEra Energy, which include managing ~~NextEra Energy Partners.~~the Company. NextEra Energy does not allocate this compensation between services for the Company and services for NextEra Energy and its affiliates. Affiliates of NextEra Energy provide the Company various general and administrative services, such as technical, commercial, regulatory, financial, accounting, treasury, tax and legal staffing, and related support services, pursuant to a Management Services Agreement, for which the Company pays a management services fee.

The Named Executive Officers for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 are James L. Robo (chief executive officer) ~~and~~, John W. Ketchum (former chief financial officer) and Rebecca J. Kujawa (chief financial officer). The ~~2019~~2020 NextEra Energy proxy statement will include disclosure of the compensation of these officers, who also serve as executive officers of NextEra Energy, received from NextEra Energy for the performance of their duties as employees of NextEra Energy.

In February ~~2018,~~2019, as part of NextEra Energy’s Compensation Committee’s setting of ~~2018~~2019 long-term performance-based incentive compensation for its executive officers, the Compensation Committee expressed its preference that a portion of the long-term performance-based incentive compensation to be awarded to executive officers who also are ~~also~~ officers of ~~NextEra Energy Partners~~the Company be granted in the form of performance-based restricted common units of the Company (“NEP Awards”). The Compensation Committee concluded that the proposed NEP Awards would further align the incentive compensation of these executive officers to activities that promote the growth of long-term value for shareholders of NextEra Energy. After considering this and other factors, in February ~~2018,~~2019, the Board approved grants of NEP Awards to those executive officers of NextEra Energy who also are ~~also~~ officers of the Company, as well as to other officers and employees of NextEra Energy or its affiliates who are responsible for significant Company activities.

The NEP Awards received by executive officers did not increase the executive officers’ overall incentive compensation opportunity, but instead replaced on a dollar-for-dollar basis approximately 7% of the aggregate grant date value of the portion of their long-term performance-based awards in ~~2018~~2019 that otherwise would have been issued in the form of performance-based restricted stock of NextEra Energy. The performance objective for NEP Awards is adjusted EBITDA of $400 million. Therefore, the NEP Awards granted in ~~2018,~~2019, which would otherwise vest ratably in ~~2019,~~ 2020, 2021 and ~~2021,~~2022, will not vest unless and until the Board certifies that ~~NEP’s~~the Company’s adjusted EBITDA for each of ~~2019,~~ 2020, 2021 and ~~2021~~2022 equals or exceeds $400 million.

The NEP Awards were made pursuant to the NextEra Energy Partners, LP 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2014 Long Term Incentive Plan”). The Company will be reimbursed by NextEra Energy for the grant date fair value of all NEP Awards granted to employees and officers of ~~the~~ NextEra Energy or its affiliates.

Compensation Committee Report

The Board does not have a compensation committee. The Board, acting in lieu of a compensation committee, has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion & Analysis with management. Based on this review and discussion, the Board recommended that the Compensation Discussion & Analysis set forth above be included in the Company’s proxy statement for the ~~2019~~2020 annual meeting of unitholders.
