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 will, will likely result, are expected to, will continue, is anticipated, aim, believe, 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 NextEra Energy, Inc.'s (NEE) and/or Florida Power & Light Company's (FPL) 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 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 an appropriate return on 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 Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC).

•

Any reductions to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives that support renewable energy, including, but not limited to, tax incentives, renewable portfolio standards (RPS) or feed-in tariffs, 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 of new renewable energy projects, NextEra Energy Resources, LLC (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 or interpretations or other regulatory initiatives.


•	NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected if the rules implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) broaden the scope of its provisions regarding the regulation of over-the-counter (OTC) financial derivatives and make them applicable to NEE and FPL.


•	NEE and FPL are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations that require capital expenditures, increase their cost of operations and may expose them to liabilities.


•	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 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, as well as judgments and estimates used in the determination of tax-related asset and liability amounts, could 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 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.


•	If supply costs necessary to provide NEER's full energy and capacity requirement services are not favorable, operating costs could increase and 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 hedge effectively its assets or positions against changes in commodity prices, volumes, interest rates, counterparty credit risk or other risk measures could significantly impair NEE's results of operations.


•	Sales of power on the spot market or on a short-term contractual basis may cause NEE's results of operations to be volatile.


•	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.


•	If price movements significantly or persistently deviate from historical behavior, NEE's and FPL's hedging and trading procedures and associated risk management tools 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 an adverse impact to their reputation and/or the results of operations of the retail business.


•	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 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.


•	Increasing costs associated with health care plans may materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's results of operations.


•	NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be negatively affected by the lack of a qualified workforce or the loss or retirement of key employees.


•	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 construction, 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 United States (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.


•	U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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.


•	The inability to operate any of NEER'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.


•	Various hazards posed to nuclear generation facilities, along with increased public attention to and awareness of such hazards, could result in increased nuclear licensing or compliance costs which are difficult or impossible to predict and 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 normal 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 adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition of NEE and FPL.


•	NEE's, NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, Inc.'s (NEECH) and FPL's inability to maintain their current credit ratings may 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 creditors 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 and FPL's defined benefit pension plan's funded status, which may materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's liquidity and results of operations.


•	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 and results of operations.


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


•	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.


•	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, 2011 (2011 Form 10-K) and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in NEE's and FPL's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012 (March 2012 Form 10-Q), and investors should refer to those sections of the 2011 Form 10-K and the March 2012 Form 10-Q. 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2011 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. Employee Retirement Benefits

NEE sponsors a qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for substantially all employees of NEE and its subsidiaries and has a supplemental executive retirement plan, which includes a non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension component that provides benefits to a select group of management and highly compensated employees (collectively, pension benefits). In addition to pension benefits, NEE sponsors a contributory postretirement plan for health care and life insurance benefits (other benefits) for retirees of NEE and its subsidiaries meeting certain eligibility requirements.

The components of net periodic benefit (income) cost for the plans are as follows:

2. Derivative Instruments

NEE and FPL use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options, futures and forwards) to manage the commodity price risk inherent in the purchase and sale of fuel and electricity, as well as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with outstanding and forecasted debt issuances, and to optimize the value of NEER's power generation assets.

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 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 assets, derivative instruments are used to hedge the commodity price risk associated with the fuel requirements of the assets, where applicable, as well as to hedge all or a portion of the expected energy output of these assets. These hedges protect NEER against adverse changes in the wholesale forward commodity markets associated with its generation 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 customer served by the distribution utility. For this type of transaction, derivative instruments are used to hedge the anticipated electricity quantities required to serve these customers and protect against unfavorable changes in the forward energy markets. Additionally, NEER takes positions in the energy markets based on differences between actual forward market levels and management's view of fundamental market conditions. 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 and purchased power cost recovery clause (fuel clause) or the capacity cost recovery clause (capacity clause). For NEE's non-rate regulated operations, predominantly NEER, unless hedge accounting is applied, essentially all changes in the derivatives'

(unaudited)

fair value for power purchases and sales and trading activities are recognized on a net basis in operating revenues; fuel purchases and sales are recognized on a net basis in fuel, purchased power and interchange 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. Settlement gains and losses are included within the line items in the condensed consolidated statements of income to which they relate. For commodity derivatives, NEE believes that, where offsetting positions exist at 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. Transactions for which physical delivery is deemed not to have occurred are presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated statements of income. 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.

While most of NEE's derivatives are entered into for the purpose of managing commodity price risk, reducing the impact of volatility in interest rates on outstanding and forecasted debt issuances and managing foreign currency risk, hedge accounting is only applied where specific criteria are met and it is practicable to do so. In order to apply hedge accounting, the transaction must be designated as a hedge and it must be highly effective in offsetting the hedged risk. Additionally, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the forecasted transactions must be probable. For interest rate swaps and foreign currency derivative instruments, generally NEE assesses a hedging instrument's effectiveness by using nonstatistical methods including dollar value comparisons of the change in the fair value of the derivative to the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is tested at the inception of the hedge and on at least a quarterly basis throughout its life. The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) and is reclassified into earnings in the period(s) during which the transaction being hedged affects earnings or when it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction being hedged would not occur. The ineffective portion of net unrealized gains (losses) on these hedges is reported in earnings in the current period. At June 30, 2012, NEE's accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) included amounts related to discontinued commodity cash flow hedges with expiration dates through December 2012; interest rate cash flow hedges with expiration dates through December 2030; and foreign currency cash flow hedges with expiration dates through September 2030. Approximately $30 million of losses included in AOCI at June 30, 2012 is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months as either the principal and/or interest payments are made or electricity is sold. Such amounts assume no change in power prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates or scheduled principal payments.

The net fair values of NEE's and FPL's mark-to-market derivative instrument assets (liabilities) are included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, FPL recorded approximately $76 million of gains and $68 million of losses, respectively, related to commodity contracts as regulatory liabilities and regulatory assets, respectively, on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, FPL recorded approximately $176 million and $68 million of losses, respectively, related to commodity contracts as regulatory assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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. The table does not present a complete picture of NEE's and FPL's overall net economic exposure because NEE and FPL do not use derivative instruments to hedge all of their commodity exposures. At June 30, 2012, NEE and FPL had derivative commodity contracts for the following net notional volumes:

(b)	One million British thermal units

At June 30, 2012, NEE had interest rate contracts with a notional amount totaling approximately $6.4 billion and foreign currency swaps with a notional amount totaling approximately $544 million.

Certain of NEE's and FPL's 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 30, 2012, the aggregate fair value of NEE's derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was approximately $3.6 billion ($330 million for FPL).

If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements and other commodity-related contracts were triggered, NEE or FPL could be required to post collateral or settle contracts according to contractual terms which generally allow netting of contracts in offsetting positions. Certain 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), NEE would be required to post collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately $700 million ($100 million at FPL). If FPL's and NEECH's credit ratings were downgraded to below investment grade, NEE would be required to post additional collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately $2.7 billion ($800 million at FPL). Some contracts at NEE, including some FPL 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, NEE could be required to post additional collateral of up to approximately $600 million ($100 million at FPL).

Collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support. At June 30, 2012, NEE had posted approximately $360 million ($5 million at FPL) in the form of letters of credit, related to derivatives, in the normal course of business which could be applied toward the collateral requirements described above. FPL and NEECH have bank revolving line of credit facilities in excess of the collateral requirements described above that would be available to support, among other things, derivative activities. Under the terms of the bank revolving line of 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 where 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.

3. Fair Value Measurements

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. NEE's and FPL's assessment of the significance of any particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect their 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 - Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. NEE and FPL primarily hold investments in money market funds. The fair value of these funds is calculated using current 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 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 significant other observable inputs.

NEE and FPL also enter 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. 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, through NEER, also enters into full requirements contracts, which, in many 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. This consideration includes, but is not limited to, assumptions about market liquidity, volatility and contract duration as more fully described below in Significant Unobservable Inputs.

NEE uses interest rate and foreign currency swaps to mitigate and adjust interest rate and foreign currency exposure related to certain outstanding and forecasted debt issuances and borrowings. NEE estimates the fair value of these derivatives using a discounted cash flows valuation technique based on the net amount of estimated future cash inflows and outflows related to the swap agreements.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements - NEE's and FPL's financial assets and liabilities and other fair value measurements made on a recurring basis by fair value hierarchy level are as follows:

Significant Unobservable Inputs - 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 Risk Management group. The Risk Management group performs a risk management function within NEE and FPL 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 Risk Management group is separate from the transacting group, and the Vice President of Risk Management reports to the Chief Financial Officer of NEE and FPL. 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 critically 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 Vice President of Risk Management. In addition, other valuation assumptions such as implied correlations and customer migration rates are reviewed and approved by Risk Management on a periodic basis. Newly created models used in the valuation process are also subject to testing and approval by Risk Management prior to use and established models are reviewed annually, or more often as needed, by Risk Management.

On a monthly basis, the Exposure Management Committee (EMC), which is comprised of certain members of senior management, meets with representatives from the 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 Risk Management policy. The EMC executes its risk management responsibilities through direct oversight and delegation of its responsibilities to the Vice President of Risk Management, as well as to other corporate and business unit personnel.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of contracts categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2012 are as follows:



Transaction Type	Fair Value at June 30, 2012		Valuation Technique(s)	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Range

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements - NEE tests long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the second quarter of 2011, market value indications and the potential impact of proposed environmental regulations suggested that the carrying value of certain NEER assets, primarily wind assets in West Texas and oil-fired assets in Maine, could be impaired. NEER performed a fair value analysis and concluded that an impairment charge related to the long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, was necessary. The fair value analysis was primarily based on the income approach using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) including revenue and generation forecasts, projected capital and maintenance expenditures and discount rates. As a result, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of approximately $79 million were written down to their fair value of $28 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $51 million ($31 million after-tax), which is recorded as a separate line item in NEE’s condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

4. Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents and commercial paper approximate their fair values. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, other investments of NEE, not included in the table below, included financial instruments of approximately $43 million and $35 million ($8 million and $4 million at FPL), respectively, including $2 million and $2 million included in current other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (none at FPL), which primarily consist of notes receivable that are carried at estimated fair value or cost, which approximates fair value.

The following estimates of the fair value of financial instruments have been made primarily using available market information. However, the use of different market assumptions or methods of valuation could result in different estimated fair values.

(a)

At June 30, 2012, includes $199 million of investments accounted for under the equity method and $47 million of loans not measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($130 million and $35 million, respectively, for FPL). At December 31, 2011, includes $164 million of investments accounted for under the equity method and $39 million of loans not measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($112 million and $24 million, respectively, for FPL). For the remaining balances, see Note 3 for classification by major security type and hierarchy level. The amortized cost of debt and equity securities is $1,715 million and $1,418 million, respectively, at June 30, 2012 and $1,638 million and $1,425 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011 ($1,385 million and $810 million, respectively, at June 30, 2012 and $1,321 million and $864 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011 for FPL).

(b)

Classified as held to maturity. Estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation technique based on certain observable yield curves and indices considering the credit profile of the borrower (Level 3). Notes receivable bear interest primarily at fixed rates and mature by 2029. Notes receivable are considered impaired and placed in non-accrual status when it becomes probable that all amounts due cannot be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement. The assessment to place notes receivable in non-accrual status considers various credit indicators, such as credit standings and ratings and market-related information. As of June 30, 2012, NEE had no notes receivable reported in non-accrual status.


(c)	Classified as trading securities.


(d)	See Note 3.


(e)	Primarily modeled internally based on recent market information including, among other things, private offerings of the securities (Level 3).

(f)

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $16,757 million and $15,035 million, respectively, is estimated using quoted market prices for the same or similar issues (Level 2); the balance is estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation technique, considering the current credit spread of the debtor (Level 3). For FPL, estimated using quoted market prices for the same or similar issues (Level 2).

Special Use Funds - The special use funds consist of FPL's storm fund assets of $125 million and NEE's and FPL's nuclear decommissioning fund assets of $3,946 million and $2,742 million, respectively, at June 30, 2012. The investments held in the special use funds consist of equity and debt securities which are primarily classified as available for sale and carried at estimated fair value (see Note 3). 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 liability accounts. For NEE's non-rate regulated operations, changes in fair value result in a corresponding adjustment to OCI, except for unrealized losses associated with marketable securities considered to be other than temporary, including any credit losses, which are recognized as other than temporary impairment losses on securities held in nuclear decommissioning funds and included in other - net in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income. Debt securities included in the nuclear decommissioning funds have a weighted-average maturity at June 30, 2012 of approximately six years at both NEE and FPL. FPL's storm fund primarily consists of debt securities with a weighted-average maturity at June 30, 2012 of approximately three years. The cost of securities sold is determined using the specific identification method.

Regulations issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (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 NEER's Seabrook Station (Seabrook), decommissioning fund contributions and withdrawals are also regulated by the 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.

Interest Rate and Foreign Currency Swaps - NEE and its subsidiaries use a combination of fixed rate and variable rate debt to manage interest rate exposure. Interest rate swaps are used to mitigate and adjust interest rate exposure when deemed appropriate based upon market conditions or when required by financing agreements. In addition, with respect to certain debt issuances and borrowings, NEECH has two cross currency swaps to hedge against currency movements with respect to both interest and principal payments. See Note 2.

5. Income Taxes

NEE's effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately 29% and 20%, respectively. The reduction from the federal statutory rate mainly reflects the benefit of wind production tax credits (PTCs) of approximately $50 million and $84 million, respectively, related to NEER's wind projects and approximately $10 million and $1 million, respectively, of deferred income tax benefits associated with grants (convertible investment tax credits (ITCs)) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, as amended (Recovery Act), primarily for certain wind projects expected to be placed in service. NEE’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 also reflects a state deferred income tax benefit (state deferred income tax benefit) included in the Corporate and Other segment of approximately $64 million, net of federal income taxes, related to state tax law changes in 2011.

NEE's effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately 27% and 12%, respectively. The reduction from the federal statutory rate mainly reflects the benefit of wind PTCs of approximately $112 million and $163 million, respectively, and approximately $23 million and $8 million, respectively, of deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible

(unaudited)

ITCs. NEE's effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 also reflects the state deferred income tax benefit and a $26 million reduction in income tax expense, net of federal income taxes, primarily related to a valuation allowance reversal for certain state ITCs reflecting state income tax planning initiatives (state ITC benefit).

NEE recognizes PTCs as wind energy is generated and sold based on a per kilowatt-hour (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 can significantly affect NEE's effective income tax rate depending on the amount of pretax income, wind generation and expiration of PTCs after ten years of production.

6. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

As of June 30, 2012, NEE has nine VIEs which it consolidates and has interests in certain other VIEs which it does 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 approximately $200 million 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 $381 million and $406 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and consisted primarily of storm-recovery property, which are included in securitized storm-recovery costs on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities of the VIE were approximately $470 million and $496 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and consisted primarily of storm-recovery bonds, which are included in long-term debt on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

FPL identified a potential VIE, which is considered a qualifying facility as defined by the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as amended (PURPA). PURPA requires utilities, such as FPL, to purchase the electricity output of a qualifying facility. FPL entered into a purchased power agreement (PPA) effective in 1994 with this 250 megawatt (mw) coal-fired qualifying facility to purchase substantially all of the facility's capacity and electrical output over a substantial portion of its estimated useful life. FPL absorbs a portion of the facility's variability related to changes in the market price of coal through the price it pays per mwh (energy payment). After making exhaustive efforts, FPL was unable to obtain the information from the facility necessary to determine whether the facility is a VIE or whether FPL is the primary beneficiary of the facility. The PPA with the facility contains no provision which legally obligates the facility to release this information to FPL. The energy payments paid by FPL will fluctuate as coal prices change. This fluctuation does not expose FPL to losses since the energy payments paid by FPL to the facility are passed on to FPL's customers through the fuel clause as approved by the FPSC. Notwithstanding the fact that FPL's energy payments are recovered through the fuel clause, if the facility was determined to be a VIE, the absorption of some of the facility's fuel price variability might cause FPL to be considered the primary beneficiary. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, FPL purchased 190,070 mwh and 380,847 mwh, respectively, from the facility at a total cost of approximately $45 million and $51 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, FPL purchased 289,011 mwh and 637,522 mwh, respectively, from the facility at a total cost of approximately $85 million and $94 million, respectively.

Additionally, FPL entered into a PPA effective in 1995 with a 330 mw coal-fired qualifying facility to purchase substantially all of the facility's electrical output over a substantial portion of its estimated useful life. The facility is considered a VIE because FPL absorbs a portion of the facility’s variability related to changes in the market price of coal through the energy payment. Since FPL does not control the most significant activities of the facility, including operations and maintenance, FPL is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate this VIE. The energy payments paid by FPL will fluctuate as coal prices change. This fluctuation does not expose FPL to losses since the energy payments paid by FPL to the facility are passed on to FPL’s customers through the fuel clause as approved by the FPSC.

NEER - NEE consolidates eight 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 through its 100% equity ownership has the

NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

obligation to absorb expected losses of these VIEs.

An NEER VIE consolidates two entities which own and operate natural gas/oil electric generating facilities with the capability of producing 110 mw. This VIE sells its 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. This VIE uses third party debt and equity to finance its operations. The debt is secured by liens against the generating facilities and the other assets of these entities. The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NEER. The assets and liabilities of the VIE were approximately $104 million and $79 million, respectively, at June 30, 2012 and $105 million and $82 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt.

The other seven NEER VIEs consolidate several entities which own and operate wind electric generating facilities with the capability of producing a total of 2,579 mw. Six of these VIEs sell their electric output under power sales contracts to third parties with expiration dates ranging from 2018 through 2037; the seventh VIE sells its electric output in the spot market. The VIEs use third-party debt and/or equity to finance their operations. Certain investors that hold no equity interest in the VIEs hold differential membership interests, which give them the right to receive a portion of the economic attributes of the generating facilities, including certain tax attributes. The debt is secured by liens against the generating facilities and the other assets of these entities. The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NEER. The assets and liabilities of these VIEs totaled approximately $4.0 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2012. Six of the VIEs were consolidated at December 31, 2011, and the assets and liabilities of those VIEs totaled approximately $3.2 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the assets and liabilities of the VIEs consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment, deferral related to differential membership interests and long-term debt.

Other - As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, several NEE subsidiaries have investments totaling approximately $788 million ($620 million at FPL) and $668 million ($526 million at FPL), respectively, in certain special purpose entities, which consisted primarily of investments in mortgage-backed securities. These investments are included in special use funds and other investments on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheets and in special use funds on FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2012, NEE subsidiaries are not the primary beneficiary 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.

————————————


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


(b)	Interest rate swap agreements were entered into with respect to these issuances.

In May 2012, NEE sold $600 million of equity units (initially consisting of Corporate Units). Each equity unit has a stated amount of $50 and consists of a contract to purchase NEE common stock (stock purchase contract) and, initially, a 1/20, or 5%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Series E Debenture due June 1, 2017 issued in the principal amount of $1,000 by NEECH (see table above). Each stock purchase contract requires the holder to purchase by no later than June 1, 2015 (the final settlement date) for a price of $50 in cash, a number of shares of NEE common stock (subject to antidilution adjustments) based on a price per share range of $64.35 to $77.22. If purchased on the final settlement date, as of June 30, 2012, the number of shares issued would (subject to antidilution adjustments) range from 0.7770 shares if the applicable market value of a share of common stock is less than or equal to $64.35, to 0.6475 shares if the applicable market value of a share is equal to or greater than $77.22, with applicable market value to be determined using the average closing prices of NEE common stock over a 20-day trading period ending May 27, 2015. Total annual distributions on the equity units will be at the rate of 5.599%, consisting of interest on the debentures (1.70% per year) and payments under the stock purchase contracts (3.899% per year). The interest rate on the debentures is expected to be reset on or after December 1, 2014. The holder of an equity unit may satisfy its purchase obligation with proceeds raised from remarketing the NEECH debentures that are part of its equity unit. The undivided beneficial ownership interest in the NEECH debenture that is a component of each Corporate Unit is pledged to NEE to secure the holder’s obligation to purchase NEE common stock under the related stock purchase contract. If a successful remarketing does not occur on or before the third business day prior to the final settlement date, and a holder has not notified NEE of its intention to settle the stock purchase contract with cash, NEE would exercise its rights as a secured party in the debentures to satisfy in full the holders’ obligations to purchase NEE common stock under the related stock purchase contracts on the final settlement date. The debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NEE.

Also, in May 2012, a remarketing of $350 million aggregate principal amount of Series C Debentures due June 1, 2014 (Debentures) issued by NEECH was successfully completed. The Debentures were originally issued in May 2009 as components of NEE's equity units (2009 equity units). The Debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NEE. In connection with the remarketing of the Debentures, the annual interest rate on the Debentures was reset to 1.611% and interest is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, beginning June 1, 2012. In connection with the settlement of the stock purchase contracts that were issued as components of the 2009 equity units, on June 1, 2012, NEE issued 5,400,500 shares of common stock in exchange for $350 million.

9. 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 of wind and solar projects and the procurement of nuclear fuel. Capital expenditures for Corporate and Other primarily include the cost for construction of a transmission line and other associated facilities by Lone Star Transmission, LLC (Lone Star), a rate-regulated transmission service provider in Texas, and the cost to meet customer-specific requirements and maintain the fiber-optic network for the fiber-optic telecommunications business (FPL FiberNet).

At June 30, 2012, estimated planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2012 through 2016 were as follows:

————————————


(a)	Includes allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) of approximately $42 million, $84 million, $59 million, $58 million and $28 million in 2012 to 2016, respectively.


(b)	Includes land, generating structures, transmission interconnection and integration and licensing.

(c)

Consists of projects that have received FPSC approval. Includes pre-construction costs and carrying charges (equal to a pretax AFUDC rate) on construction costs recoverable through the capacity clause of approximately $52 million and $41 million in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Excludes capital expenditures for the construction costs for the two additional nuclear units at FPL's Turkey Point site beyond what is required to receive an NRC license for each unit.

(d)

Consists of capital expenditures for planned new wind projects and related transmission totaling approximately 1,300 mw, including approximately 150 mw in Canada, that have received applicable internal approvals. Excludes new Canadian wind projects requiring internal approvals with generation totaling approximately 470 mw in 2014 and 2015, with an estimated cost of approximately $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion.

(e)

Consists of capital expenditures for planned new solar projects and related transmission totaling 625 mw that have received applicable internal approvals, including equity contributions associated with a 50% equity method investment in a 550 mw solar project. Excludes solar projects requiring internal approvals with generation totaling 270 mw with an estimated cost of approximately $600 million to $800 million.

(h)	Consists of capital expenditures that have received applicable internal approvals and includes AFUDC of approximately $30 million and $14 million in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

These estimates are subject to continuing review and adjustment and actual capital expenditures may vary significantly from these estimates.

Contracts - In addition to the estimated planned capital expenditures included in the table in Commitments above, FPL has commitments under long-term purchased power and fuel contracts. FPL is obligated under take-or-pay purchased power contracts with JEA and with subsidiaries of The Southern Company (Southern subsidiaries) to pay for approximately 1,330 mw annually through 2015 and 375 mw annually thereafter through 2021. FPL also has various firm pay-for-performance contracts to purchase approximately 705 mw from certain cogenerators and small power producers (qualifying facilities) with expiration dates ranging from 2024 through 2034. The purchased power contracts provide for capacity and energy payments. Energy payments are based on the actual power taken under these contracts. Capacity payments for the pay-for-performance contracts are subject to the

qualifying facilities meeting certain contract conditions. FPL has contracts with expiration dates through 2036 for the purchase and transportation of natural gas and coal, and storage of natural gas.

NEER has entered into contracts primarily for the purchase of wind turbines and towers, solar reflectors, steam turbine generators and heat collection elements and related construction and development activities, as well as for the supply of uranium, conversion, enrichment and fabrication of nuclear fuel, with expiration dates ranging from August 2012 through 2030, approximately $2.6 billion of which is included in the estimated planned capital expenditures table in Commitments above. In addition, NEER has contracts primarily for the purchase, transportation and storage of natural gas and firm transmission service with expiration dates ranging from September 2012 through 2033.

The transmission business included in Corporate and Other has entered into contracts primarily for development and construction activities relating to Lone Star's transmission line and other associated facilities, all of which is included in the estimated planned capital expenditures table in Commitments above.

(a)

Capacity charges under these contracts, substantially all of which are recoverable through the capacity clause, totaled approximately $129 million and $124 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately $262 million and $247 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Energy charges under these contracts, which are recoverable through the fuel clause, totaled approximately $82 million and $129 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately $121 million and $206 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.


(b)	Recoverable through the fuel clause.


(c)	Includes an approximately $73 million commitment to invest in clean power and technology businesses through 2017.

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 $375 million of private liability insurance per site, which is the maximum obtainable, and participates in a secondary financial protection system, which provides up to $12.2 billion of liability insurance coverage per incident at any nuclear reactor in the United States. Under the secondary financial protection system, NEE is subject to retrospective assessments of up to $940 million ($470 million for FPL), plus any applicable taxes, per incident at any nuclear reactor in the United States, payable at a rate not to exceed $140 million ($70 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 Energy Center (Duane Arnold) and St. Lucie Unit No. 2, which approximates $14 million, $35 million and $18 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. 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 $178 million ($102 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, $4 million and $4 million, plus any applicable taxes, respectively.

NEXTERA ENERGY, INC. AND FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

Due to the high cost and limited coverage available from third-party insurers, NEE does not have insurance coverage for a substantial portion of its transmission and distribution property and has no insurance coverage for FPL FiberNet's fiber-optic cable. Should FPL's future storm restoration costs exceed the reserve amount established through the issuance of storm-recovery bonds by a VIE in 2007, 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.

Legal Proceedings - In November 1999, the Attorney General of the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), brought an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Georgia Power Company and other subsidiaries of The Southern Company for certain alleged violations of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) provisions and the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) of the Clean Air Act. In May 2001, the EPA amended its complaint to allege, among other things, that Georgia Power Company constructed and is continuing to operate Scherer Unit No. 4, in which FPL owns a 76% interest, without obtaining a PSD permit, without complying with NSPS requirements, and without applying best available control technology for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxides and particulate matter as required by the Clean Air Act. It also alleges that unspecified major modifications have been made at Scherer Unit No. 4 that require its compliance with the aforementioned Clean Air Act provisions. The EPA seeks injunctive relief requiring the installation of best available control technology and civil penalties. Under the EPA's civil penalty rules, the EPA could assess up to $25,000 per day for each violation from an unspecified date after June 1, 1975 through January 30, 1997, up to $27,500 per day for each violation from January 31, 1997 through March 15, 2004, up to $32,500 per day for each violation from March 16, 2004 through January 12, 2009 and up to $37,500 per day for each violation thereafter. Georgia Power Company has answered the amended complaint, asserting that it has complied with all requirements of the Clean Air Act, denying the plaintiff's allegations of liability, denying that the plaintiff is entitled to any of the relief that it seeks and raising various other defenses. In June 2001, a federal district court stayed discovery and administratively closed the case and the EPA has not yet moved to reopen the case. In April 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court in a separate unrelated case rejected an argument that a "major modification" occurs at a plant only when there is a resulting increase in the hourly rate of air emissions. Georgia Power Company has made a similar argument in defense of its case, but has other factual and legal defenses that are unaffected by the U.S. Supreme Court's decision.

In 1995 and 1996, NEE, through an indirect subsidiary, purchased from Adelphia Communications Corporation (Adelphia) 1,091,524 shares of Adelphia common stock and 20,000 shares of Adelphia preferred stock (convertible into 2,358,490 shares of Adelphia common stock) for an aggregate price of approximately $35,900,000. On January 29, 1999, Adelphia repurchased all of these shares for $149,213,130 in cash. In June 2004, Adelphia, Adelphia Cablevision, L.L.C. and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Adelphia filed a complaint against NEE and its indirect subsidiary in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that the repurchase of these shares by Adelphia was a fraudulent transfer, in that at the time of the transaction Adelphia (i) was insolvent or was rendered insolvent, (ii) did not receive reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the cash it paid, and (iii) was engaged or about to engage in a business or transaction for which any property remaining with Adelphia had unreasonably small capital. The complaint seeks the recovery for the benefit of Adelphia's bankruptcy estate of the cash paid for the repurchased shares, plus interest from January 29, 1999. NEE has filed an answer to the complaint. NEE believes that the complaint is without merit because, among other reasons, Adelphia will be unable to demonstrate that (i) Adelphia's repurchase of shares from NEE, which repurchase was at the market value for those shares, was not for reasonably equivalent value, (ii) Adelphia was insolvent at the time of the repurchase, or (iii) the repurchase left Adelphia with unreasonably small capital. The trial was completed in May 2012 and closing arguments were heard in July 2012.

In October 2004, TXU Portfolio Management Company (TXU) served FPL Energy Pecos Wind I, LP, FPL Energy Pecos Wind I GP, LLC, FPL Energy Pecos Wind II, LP, FPL Energy Pecos Wind II GP, LLC and Indian Mesa Wind Farm, LP (NEER Affiliates) as defendants in a civil action filed in the District Court in Dallas County, Texas. FPL Energy, LLC, now known as NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, was added as a defendant in 2005. The petition alleged that the NEER Affiliates had contractual obligations to produce and sell to TXU a minimum quantity of energy and renewable energy credits each year during the period from 2002 through 2005 and that the NEER Affiliates failed to meet this obligation. The plaintiff asserted claims for breach of contract and declaratory judgment and sought damages of approximately $34 million plus attorneys' fees, costs and interest. Following a jury trial in 2007, among other findings, both TXU and the NEER Affiliates were found to have breached the contracts. In August 2008, the trial court issued a final judgment holding that the contracts were not terminated and neither party was entitled to recover any damages. In November 2008, TXU appealed the final judgment to the Fifth District Court of Appeals in Dallas, Texas. In an opinion issued in July 2010, the appellate court reversed portions of the trial court's judgment, ruling that the contracts' liquidated damage provision is an enforceable liquidated damage clause. The appellate court ordered that the case be remanded back to the trial court for further proceedings to determine the amount of damages payable by the NEER Affiliates. The NEER Affiliates filed a motion for rehearing of the appellate court’s decision, which motion was denied, and in April 2011 filed a petition for review of the appellate court decision with the Texas Supreme Court. In February 2012, the Texas Supreme Court granted the petition for review and the case has been scheduled for oral argument in September 2012.

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

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Notes contained herein and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Management's Discussion) appearing in the 2011 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 discussion, all comparisons are with the corresponding items in the prior year period.

OVERVIEW

NEE’s operating performance is driven primarily by the operations of its two principal subsidiaries, FPL, which serves approximately 4.6 million customer accounts in Florida and is one of the largest rate-regulated electric utilities in the U.S., and NEER, which together with affiliated entities is the largest generator in the U.S. of renewable energy from the wind and sun. The table below presents NEE’s net income and earnings per share by reportable segment - FPL, NEER and Corporate and Other, which is primarily comprised of interest expense, the operating results of FPL FiberNet, Lone Star and other business activities, as well as other income and expense items, including income taxes and eliminating entries (see Note 10 for additional segment information).

____________________


(a)	NEER’s results reflect an allocation of interest expense from NEECH based on a deemed capital structure of 70% debt and allocated shared service costs.

Adjusted Earnings

NEE prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management uses earnings excluding certain items (adjusted earnings), a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, for analysis of performance, for reporting of results to the Board of Directors and as an input in determining whether performance goals are met for performance-based compensation under NEE’s employee incentive compensation plans. NEE also uses adjusted earnings when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to investors. NEE’s management believes adjusted earnings provides a more meaningful representation of the company’s fundamental earnings power. Although the excluded amounts are properly included in the determination of net income in accordance with 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 in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted earnings exclude the unrealized mark-to-market effect of non-qualifying hedges (as described below) and other than temporary impairment (OTTI) losses on securities held in NEER’s nuclear decommissioning funds, net of the reversal of previously recognized OTTI losses on securities sold and losses on securities where price recovery was deemed unlikely (collectively, OTTI reversals). OTTI losses and OTTI reversals are reported in other - net in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income.

NEE and NEER segregate into two categories unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on energy derivative transactions which are used to manage commodity price risk. The first category, referred to as non-qualifying hedges, represents certain transactions entered into as economic hedges but the transactions do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting or hedge accounting treatment is not elected. Changes in the fair value of those transactions are marked to market and reported in the consolidated statements of income, resulting in earnings volatility because the economic offset to the positions which are required to be marked to market (such as the physical assets from which power is generated) are not marked to market. As a consequence, NEE's net income reflects only the movement in one part of economically-linked transactions. For this reason, NEE's management views results expressed excluding the unrealized mark-to-market impact of the non-qualifying hedges as a meaningful measure of current period performance. The second category, referred to as trading activities, 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 or the capacity clause. See Note 2.

The following table provides details of the net unrealized after-tax gains and losses from non-qualifying hedges and after-tax OTTI losses, net of reversals.

____________________


(a)	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, $63 million and $100 million, respectively, are included in NEER's net income; the balance is included in Corporate and Other. 2011 amounts are included in NEER's net income.

The change in unrealized mark-to-market activity from non-qualifying hedges is primarily attributable to changes in forward power and natural gas prices, as well as the reversal of previously recognized unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses as the underlying transactions were realized. As a general rule, a gain (loss) in the non-qualifying hedge category 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary

NEE's net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $607 million and $580 million, respectively, an increase of $27 million, and reflects the following:


•	higher results at FPL of $52 million primarily due to investments in plant in service and FPL's ability to use the surplus depreciation credit, as permitted under the terms of the stipulation and settlement regarding FPL's base rates (2010 rate agreement), to earn an 11% regulatory return on equity (ROE) in 2012, as well as higher cost recovery clause results, and


•	higher results at NEER of $12 million primarily due to the absence of an impairment charge recorded in the prior year and contributions from new investments, offset in part by a lower wind resource,

partly offset by,


•	lower results at Corporate and Other of $37 million primarily due to the absence of the state deferred income tax benefit related to state tax law changes recorded in 2011.

NEE's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1,068 million and $848 million, respectively, an increase of $220 million, and reflects the following:


•	higher results at FPL of $86 million primarily due to the reasons discussed above, and


•	higher results at NEER of $168 million primarily due to net unrealized mark-to-market after-tax gains from non-qualifying hedge activity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to losses on such hedges for the six months ended June 30, 2011,

partly offset by,


•	lower results at Corporate and Other of $34 million primarily due to the absence of the state deferred income tax benefit recorded in 2011.

NEE's effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were approximately 29% and 27%, respectively; NEE's effective income tax rates for the corresponding periods in 2011 were 20% and 12%. These rates reflect the effect of PTCs for wind projects at NEER and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs under the Recovery Act. PTCs and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs can significantly affect NEE's effective income tax rate depending on the amount of pretax income. PTCs can be significantly affected by wind generation and by the expiration of PTCs after ten years of production. PTCs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were approximately $50 million and $112 million, respectively, and $84 million and $163 million for the comparable periods in 2011. Deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were approximately $10 million and $23 million, respectively, and $1 million and $8 million for the comparable periods in 2011. NEE's effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were also reduced by the approximately $64 million state deferred income tax benefit recorded at Corporate and Other and, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, the $26 million state ITC benefit. See Note 5.

FPL: Results of Operations

FPL’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $353 million and $301 million, respectively, an increase of $52 million. FPL’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $592 million and $506 million, respectively, an increase of $86 million. See Summary above for a discussion of the major drivers of these increases.

FPL's operating revenues consisted of the following:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
	(millions)
Retail base	$	1,086	$	1,128	$	2,021	$	1,997
Fuel cost recovery	959		1,157		1,785		2,110
Other cost recovery clauses and pass-through costs, net of any deferrals	469		454		880		832
Other, primarily pole attachment rentals, transmission and wholesale sales and customer-related fees	66		62		118		108
Total	$	2,580	$	2,801	$	4,804	$	5,047

Retail Base

As permitted by the 2010 rate agreement, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, FPL collected approximately $16 million and $52 million, respectively, in additional retail base revenues through the capacity clause related to the placement in service of West County Energy Center Unit No. 3 in May 2011. Additional base revenues of approximately $6 million and $11 million were collected during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as permitted by the FPSC's nuclear cost recovery rule, related to new nuclear capacity which was placed in service in 2011.

Retail Customer Usage and Growth

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, FPL experienced a 6.2% decrease in average usage per retail customer, reflecting weather and other factors, which decreased retail base revenues by approximately $71 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, FPL experienced a 2.0% decrease in average usage per retail customer, reflecting weather and other factors, which decreased retail base revenues by approximately $51 million. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, FPL experienced a 0.6% increase in the average number of customer accounts, which increased retail base revenues by approximately $7 million and $12 million, respectively.

Cost Recovery Clauses

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, cost recovery clauses contributed $38 million and $25 million, respectively, to FPL’s net income; the amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $71 million and $49 million, respectively. The increase in cost recovery clause results was primarily due to a return related to additional nuclear capacity investments. In 2012, it is expected that cost recovery clauses will contribute higher earnings for FPL primarily as a result of additional nuclear capacity investments. Fluctuations in fuel cost recovery revenues are primarily driven by changes in fuel and energy charges which are included in fuel, purchased power and interchange expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income, as well as by changes in energy sales. Fluctuations in revenues from other cost recovery clauses and pass-through costs are primarily driven by changes in storm-related surcharges, capacity charges, franchise fee costs, the impact of changes in other operations and maintenance (O&M) and depreciation expenses on the underlying cost recovery clause, investment in solar and environmental projects, investment in nuclear capacity until such capacity goes into service and is recovered in base rates, pre-construction costs associated with the development of two additional nuclear units at the Turkey Point site and changes in energy sales. Capacity charges and franchise fee costs are included in fuel, purchased power and interchange and taxes other than income taxes and other, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Risk Management Fuel Procurement Program

FPL uses a risk management fuel procurement program which was approved by the FPSC. The FPSC reviews the program activities and results for prudence on an annual basis as part of its annual review of fuel costs. The program is intended to manage fuel price volatility by locking in fuel prices for a portion of FPL’s fuel requirements. The current regulatory asset for the change in fair value of derivative instruments used in the fuel procurement program was approximately $316 million and $502 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The decrease in fuel cost recovery revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to a lower average fuel factor of approximately $160 million and lower energy sales of $38 million. The decrease in fuel cost recovery revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to a lower average fuel factor of approximately $284 million and lower energy sales of $41 million. The change from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012 in deferred clause and franchise expenses and deferred clause and franchise revenues was approximately $73 million and positively affected NEE’s and FPL’s cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Other Items Impacting FPL Results

Fuel, Purchased Power and Interchange

The major components of FPL's fuel, purchased power and interchange expense are as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011			2012		2011
	(millions)
Fuel and energy charges during the period	$	930	$	1,253		$	1,688	$	2,114
Net deferral of retail fuel costs	—		(100		)	—		(14		)
Net collection of previously deferred retail fuel costs	26		—			92		—
Other, primarily capacity charges, net of any capacity deferral	130		151			241		275
Total	$	1,086	$	1,304		$	2,021	$	2,375

The decrease in fuel and energy charges for the three months ended June 30, 2012 reflects lower fuel and energy prices of $266 million and lower energy sales of $57 million. The decrease in fuel and energy charges for the six months ended June 30, 2012 reflects lower fuel and energy prices of $394 million and lower energy sales of $32 million.

O&M Expenses

FPL's O&M expenses increased $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to higher employee-related costs and higher distribution costs primarily due to tree trimming activities. FPL's O&M expenses increased $71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting higher maintenance costs primarily due to the timing and extent of nuclear and fossil unit outages, higher restoration and tree trimming costs and higher employee-related costs.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

The major components of FPL’s depreciation and amortization expense are as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
	(millions)
Surplus depreciation credit recorded under the 2010 rate agreement	$	(165	)	$	(31	)	$	(329	)	$	(131	)
Other depreciation and amortization recovered under base rates	251			231			502			459
Depreciation and amortization recovered under cost recovery clauses and securitized storm-recovery cost amortization	39			12			70			26
Total	$	125		$	212		$	243		$	354

Under the terms of the 2010 rate agreement, FPL can vary the amount of surplus depreciation credit taken to earn up to an 11% regulatory ROE; as of June 30, 2012, approximately $256 million of surplus depreciation credit remained available for use in 2012. The increase in other depreciation and amortization expense recovered under base rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to higher plant in service balances. The increase in depreciation and amortization recovered under cost recovery clauses and securitized storm-recovery cost amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to true ups of prior year recoveries under the FPSC's nuclear cost recovery rule.

Interest Expense

The increase in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to additional debt outstanding, partly offset by lower average interest rates.

FPL Rate Case

In March 2012, FPL filed a petition with the FPSC requesting, among other things, a permanent base rate increase, on an annualized basis, of approximately $517 million effective January 2013 and an additional approximately $174 million commencing when FPL's modernized Cape Canaveral power plant becomes operational, which is expected to occur in June 2013. FPL's requested increases are based on an allowed regulatory ROE of 11.50%, with a range of plus or minus 100 basis points, consisting of a base ROE of 11.25% and a 0.25% ROE performance adder conditioned on FPL maintaining the lowest typical residential customer bill among all the electric utilities in Florida based on a twelve-month average. Additionally, FPL's petition proposes the continuation of the mechanism for recovery of future storm restoration costs provided under the 2010 rate agreement. Hearings on the base rate proceeding are expected during the third quarter of 2012 and a final decision is expected in the fourth quarter of 2012. The 2010 rate agreement expires at the end of December 2012.

Major Capital Projects

In April 2012, the FPSC issued an order approving the modernization of FPL's Port Everglades power plant to a high-efficiency natural gas-fired approximately 1,280 mw unit, which is expected to be in service in 2016. In May 2012, the Florida Industrial Power

Users Group appealed the FPSC's order, which appeal will be heard by the Florida Supreme Court.

NEER: Results of Operations

NEER’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $251 million and $239 million, respectively, an increase of $12 million. NEER’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $472 million and $304 million, respectively, an increase of $168 million. The primary drivers, on an after-tax basis, of these increases were as follows:



	Increase (Decrease) From Prior Period

Includes PTCs and state ITCs on wind projects and, for new investments, deferred income tax and other benefits associated with convertible ITCs but does not include allocation of interest expense or corporate general and administrative expenses. Results from new projects are included in new investments during the first twelve months of operation. A project's results are included in existing assets beginning with the thirteenth month of operation.


(b)	Does not include allocation of interest expense or corporate general and administrative expenses.


(c)	See Note 2 and Overview related to derivative instruments.


(d)	See table in Overview for additional detail.

New Investments

Results from new investments for the three months ended June 30, 2012 reflect the following:


•	the addition of approximately 556 mw of wind and 45 mw of solar generation during or after the three months ended June 30, 2011,

•

the absence of an after-tax benefit associated with convertible ITCs of $19 million recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from the sale of membership interests where the investors elected to receive the convertible ITCs related to the underlying wind project; the pretax amount of such benefit is reflected in taxes other than income taxes and other in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and


•	higher deferred tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs of $10 million.

Results from new investments for the six months ended June 30, 2012 reflect the following:


•	the addition of approximately 556 mw of wind and 45 mw of solar generation during or after the six months ended June 30, 2011,


•	lower after-tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs of $9 million from the sale of membership interests where the investors elected to receive the convertible ITCs, as discussed above, and


•	higher deferred tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs of $15 million.

Existing Assets

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, results from NEER's existing asset portfolio decreased $40 million primarily due to:


•	lower results from wind assets of $43 million primarily due to a lower wind resource and the roll off of PTCs of $15 million on certain wind projects after ten years of production, and


•	lower results from non-wind merchant assets of $6 million primarily reflecting unfavorable market conditions and a lower hydro resource, offset in part by improved results from Seabrook primarily due to the absence of an outage in the prior year,

partly offset by,


•	higher results from contracted assets of $3 million primarily due to the absence of a planned outage in the prior year and the addition of 167 mw of capacity, completed in June 2011, at the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant (Point Beach) which contributed $16 million, partly offset by lower results of $6 million related to the expiration of power sales agreements at certain joint venture

projects, which is reflected in equity in earnings of equity method investees in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, results from NEER's existing asset portfolio decreased $87 million primarily due to:


•	lower results from wind assets of $71 million primarily due to the absence of approximately $33 million of state ITC benefit recorded in the prior period, the roll-off of PTCs of $28 million on certain wind projects after ten years of production and the balance primarily associated with a lower wind resource,


•	lower results from non-wind merchant assets of $16 million primarily associated with reduced capacity at Seabrook, lower priced hedges, lower gains on decommissioning funds, and a lower hydro resource offset in part by the absence of an extended refueling outage in 2011 at Seabrook, and

•

essentially flat results from contracted assets with increased results at Point Beach of $22 million due to the absence of a planned outage in the prior year and the addition of 167 mw of capacity, substantially offset by $17 million of lower results from certain joint venture projects primarily due to the expiration of power sales agreements, which is reflected in equity in earnings of equity method investees in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income.

Seabrook is expected to run at reduced capacity until its next refueling outage scheduled in the fall of 2012, when repairs will be made which are expected to return the unit to its full capacity.

Gas Infrastructure

The increase in gas infrastructure results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to exiting the hedged positions on a number of future gas drilling opportunities in the first quarter of 2012 and, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, income from additional natural gas wells.

Customer Supply and Proprietary Power and Gas Trading

Results from the customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading businesses decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to lower power and gas trading results and a decline in full requirement results reflecting warmer weather in the Northeast during the first quarter of 2012.

Impairment Charges in 2011

Impairment charges taken in the prior year relate to the write down to fair value of certain wind and oil-fired generation assets deemed to be unrecoverable, resulting in an impairment charge of $51 million which is recorded as a separate line item in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The after-tax amount of the impairment charge reduced NEER's results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 by $31 million. See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.

Interest Expense, Differential Membership Costs and Other

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, interest expense, differential membership costs and other reflects a gain related to an investment previously accounted for under the equity method in which NEER obtained a controlling interest. The change in this caption for the six-month period reflects higher costs primarily due to growth of the business, partly offset by the aforementioned gain.

Other Factors

In addition to the primary drivers of the changes in net income 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 30, 2012 decreased $75 million primarily due to:


•	the absence of revenues of approximately $75 million associated with five natural gas-fired generating plants sold in the fourth quarter of 2011, and


•	unfavorable market conditions in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) regions and lower revenues at NextEra Energy Power Marketing, LLC (PMI) and the existing wind projects (collectively, $96 million),

partly offset by,


•	higher revenues of $50 million at Point Beach primarily due to the absence of a planned outage in the prior year and the addition of 167 mw of capacity, and


•	higher revenues of $48 million from new investments.

Operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $182 million primarily due to:


•	unrealized mark-to-market gains of $223 million from non-qualifying hedges compared to $18 million of such gains in 2011,


•	higher revenues from new investments of approximately $79 million, and


•	higher revenues of $78 million at Point Beach primarily due to the absence of a planned outage in the prior year and the addition of 167 mw of capacity,

partly offset by,


•	the absence of revenues of $160 million associated with five natural gas-fired generating plants sold in the fourth quarter of 2011, and


•	unfavorable market conditions in the ERCOT and NEPOOL regions and lower revenues at PMI and the existing wind projects (collectively, $63 million).

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $100 million primarily due to:


•	the absence of the $51 million impairment charge recorded in 2011, and


•	the absence of operating expenses associated with five natural gas-fired generating plants sold in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $185 million primarily due to:


•	the absence of the $51 million impairment charge recorded in 2011,


•	$61 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses from non-qualifying hedges compared to $96 million of such losses in 2011, and


•	the absence of operating expenses associated with five natural gas-fired generating plants sold in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Interest Expense

NEER's interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $9 million and $17 million, respectively, primarily due to lower average interest rates.

Gains on Disposal of Assets - net

Gains on disposal of assets - net in NEE’s condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 primarily reflect gains on sales of securities held in NEER’s nuclear decommissioning funds.

Tax Credits and Benefits

PTCs from NEER’s wind projects are reflected 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. Also see Summary above and Note 5 for a discussion of PTCs and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs.

Wind and Solar Construction

NEER plans to add approximately 1,300 mw of new U.S. wind generation in 2012, including 177 mw added in the first quarter of 2012, and approximately 600 mw of new wind generation in Canada between 2012 through 2015. NEER plans to add approximately 900 mw of new solar generation during the period 2012 through 2016, including 40 mw acquired in the first quarter of 2012.

In its development and operation of U.S. wind generation facilities, NEER depends heavily on the federal PTC, which currently provides an income tax credit for the production of electricity from utility-scale wind turbines for the first ten years of commercial operation. This incentive was created under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and is set to expire such that it will not apply to new wind projects that first achieve commercial operation after December 31, 2012. Wind and solar project developers also can choose to receive a 30% ITC, which would be in place of the PTC in the case of wind projects. To be eligible, commercial operation needs to occur before 2013 in the case of wind and before 2017 in the case of solar. For projects placed in service before 2013 in the case of wind or before 2017 in the case of solar, in each case at which construction began before the end of 2011, developers can elect to receive an equivalent cash payment from the U.S. Department of Treasury for the value of the 30% ITC. Any failure to renew the PTC legislation or adopt other legislation conducive to the economic development of wind and solar generation facilities in the U.S. could impede NEER's ability to economically develop wind and solar energy projects in the U.S. and could have a material adverse effect on NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any renewal or new conducive legislative actions are currently uncertain.

In addition, Spain is considering the imposition of new taxes or other assessments on energy generation, including energy to be generated by the 99.8 mw of solar thermal facilities that NEER is constructing in Spain. The imposition of new taxes or other assessments on the projects could result in, among other things, a loss of NEER's investments in the projects or reduced project returns. Actions by the Spanish government, depending on size, also could relieve the project lenders from their current funding obligations, requiring NEER either to increase its equity commitment to the project or to abandon the project, which could obligate NEE to repay all outstanding project borrowings. Any of the foregoing could have a material effect on NEE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Corporate and Other: Results of Operations

Corporate and Other is primarily comprised of interest expense, the operating results of FPL FiberNet, Lone Star and other business activities, as well as corporate interest income and expenses. Corporate and Other allocates non-utility interest expense and shared service costs to NEER. Interest expense is allocated based on a deemed capital structure of 70% debt and, for purposes of allocating non-utility interest expense, the deferred credit associated with differential membership interests sold by NEER’s subsidiaries is 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. The major components of Corporate and Other's results, on an after-tax basis, are as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
	(millions)
Interest expense, net of allocations to NEER	$	(23	)	$	(16	)	$	(44	)	$	(32	)
Interest income	8			6			16			15
Federal and state income tax benefits	9			44			15			41
Other	9			6			17			14
Net income	$	3		$	40		$	4		$	38

The increase in interest expense, net of allocations to NEER, for the three- and six-month periods reflects a lower allocation of interest costs to NEER, as NEER has obtained additional project-specific financing, and higher debt outstanding, partly offset by lower average interest rates. The federal and state income tax benefits reflect consolidating income tax adjustments and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 primarily reflect the state deferred income tax benefit of approximately $64 million, net of federal income taxes, related to state tax law changes in 2011. Other includes all other corporate income and expenses, as well as other business activities.

Lone Star Rate Case

In May 2012, Lone Star reached an agreement with the majority of the intervenors in its rate case regarding the structure and timing of rates that will become effective when certain assets are placed in service, and as a result, amended its rate case filing. Lone Star does not expect any significant financial impacts on the project as a result of the agreement. A final decision by the Public Utility Commission of Texas on the rate proceeding, as amended, is expected by the fourth quarter of 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

NEE and its subsidiaries, including FPL, 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 flow from operations, short- and long-term borrowings, and the issuance, from time to time, of short- and long-term debt and equity securities, 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

Sources and uses of NEE's and FPL's cash for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

In July 2012, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NEER borrowed approximately $99 million under a limited-recourse variable rate term loan, maturing in December 2015. Interest on the loan will be based on the three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a specified margin, payable quarterly, and the principal will be partially amortizing on a quarterly basis. Upon funding of the loan, the NEER subsidiary also entered into two interest rate swaps to hedge against interest rate movements with respect to interest payments on the loan. The proceeds of the loan were used to reimburse NEER, in part, for its capital contributions related to the development and construction of wind generation facilities with a generating capacity totaling approximately 206 mw located in California. The loan is secured by liens against the NEER subsidiary's ownership interest in the entities that own the facilities, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the NEER subsidiary. The loan agreement contains default and related acceleration provisions relating to the failure to make required payments or to observe other covenants in the loan agreement and related documents, actions by the borrower or by other parties under specified agreements relating to the generating facilities or the loan agreement, the termination of certain of such specified agreements and certain bankruptcy-related events.

Liquidity

At June 30, 2012, NEE's total net available liquidity was approximately $5.2 billion, of which FPL's portion was approximately $2.7 billion. The table below provides the components of FPL's and NEECH's net available liquidity at June 30, 2012:

_______________________

(a)

Provide for the funding of loans up to $7,583 million ($3,014 million for FPL) and the issuance of letters of credit up to $4,083 million ($1,564 million for FPL). The entire amount of the credit facilities is available for general corporate purposes, including to provide back-up liquidity for FPL’s and NEECH’s commercial paper programs and other short-term borrowings 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 $633 million of pollution control, solid waste disposal and industrial development revenue bonds in the event they are tendered by individual bond holders and not remarketed prior to maturity.


(b)	Approximately $1,114 million of FPL's and $1,469 million of NEECH's bank revolving line of credit facilities expire in 2013. The remaining portion of bank revolving line of credit facilities for FPL and NEECH expires in 2017.

Additionally, at June 30, 2012, certain subsidiaries of NEE had credit or loan facilities with available liquidity as follows:

______________________


(a)	Includes as a precondition to borrowing or issuing letters of credit as well as default and related acceleration provisions that require NEE's ratio of funded debt to total capitalization to not exceed a stated ratio. Payment obligations are guaranteed by NEE pursuant to the 1998 guarantee agreement with NEECH.


(b)	Includes default and related acceleration provisions for, among other things, failure to comply with certain covenants, including requirements that construction of the project must be completed by a certain date.

(c)

Borrowings are preconditioned on equity being contributed by the project's parent, and are drawn on a pro-rata basis with those equity contributions. The total equity funding commitment and, until certain conditions or obligations related to the project are met, certain obligations, including all or a portion of the debt payment obligations, are guaranteed by NEECH, which guarantee obligations are in turn guaranteed by NEE. The related NEECH guarantee contains default and acceleration provisions relating to, among other things, NEE's ratio of funded debt to total capitalization exceeding a specified ratio.

(d)

Borrowings are preconditioned on equity being contributed by Lone Star's parent, and are drawn on a pro-rata basis with those equity contributions. The total equity funding commitment has been guaranteed by NEECH, which guarantee obligations are in turn guaranteed by NEE. The related NEECH guarantee contains default provisions and related provisions for acceleration of the unfunded equity commitment relating to, among other things, NEE's ratio of funded debt to total capitalization exceeding a specified ratio.

Dodd-Frank Act

NEE and FPL are monitoring the development of rules related to the Dodd-Frank Act and are implementing those rules that affect their businesses. A number of rules have already been finalized and have become or will become effective over the next 2 to 12 months. In July 2012, the CFTC voted to finalize a rule related to the definition of a swap. This rule is expected to become effective by the end of September 2012, resulting in formal effective dates for a number of other rules that are dependent on the definition of a swap over the next 12 months, including position limits and the reporting and recordkeeping obligations applicable to derivative end users like NEE and FPL. The implementation of these rules is not expected to have a material effect on NEE and FPL. The rules related to collateral requirements have not been finalized. If those rules, when finalized, require NEE and FPL to post significant amounts of cash collateral with respect to swap transactions, NEE's and FPL's liquidity could be materially affected.

NEE and FPL cannot predict the impact that these new rules will have on their ability to hedge their commodity and interest rate risks or on the OTC derivatives market as a whole, but management believes that they could potentially have a material effect on NEE's and FPL's risk exposure and financial results.

Capital Support

Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Guarantees

NEE and FPL obtain letters of credit and surety bonds and issue guarantees to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties and financings. Letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees support, among other things, the buying and selling of wholesale energy commodities, debt and related reserves, nuclear activities, capital expenditures for NEER's wind and solar development and other contractual agreements.

In addition, as part of contract negotiations in the normal course of business, NEE and FPL may agree to make payments to compensate or indemnify other parties for possible future unfavorable financial consequences resulting from specified events. The specified events may include, but are not limited to, an adverse judgment in a lawsuit, the imposition of additional taxes due to a change in tax law or interpretations of the tax law or the non-receipt of renewable tax credits or proceeds from cash grants under the Recovery Act. NEE and FPL are unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments under some of these contracts because events that would obligate them have not yet occurred or, if any such event has occurred, they have not been notified of its occurrence.

In addition, 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.

At June 30, 2012, NEE had approximately $1.6 billion of standby letters of credit ($8 million for FPL), approximately $157 million of surety bonds ($55 million for FPL) and approximately $13.9 billion notional amount of guarantees and indemnifications ($24 million for FPL), of which approximately $9 billion ($12 million for FPL) letters of credit, guarantees and indemnifications have expiration dates within the next five years. An aggregate of approximately $1.5 billion ($8 million for FPL) of the standby letters of credit at June 30, 2012 were issued under FPL’s and NEECH’s credit facilities.

Each of NEE and FPL believe it is unlikely that it would incur any liabilities associated with these letters of credit, surety bonds, guarantees and indemnifications. Accordingly, at June 30, 2012, NEE and FPL did not have any liabilities recorded for these letters of credit, surety bonds, guarantees and indemnifications.

Shelf Registration

In August 2009, NEE, NEECH, FPL and certain affiliated trusts 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. As of July 26, 2012, 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, preferred trust securities, common stock, preferred stock, stock purchase contracts, stock purchase units, warrants and guarantees related to certain of those securities. As of July 26, 2012, NEE and NEECH had approximately $325 million (issuable by either or both of them up to such aggregate amount) of board-authorized available capacity, and FPL had $150 million of board-authorized available capacity.

Energy Marketing and Trading and Market Risk Sensitivity

NEE and FPL are exposed to risks associated with adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates, equity prices and currency exchange rates. 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, equity prices or currency exchange rates 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 commodity price risk inherent in the purchase and sale of fuel and electricity. In addition, NEE, through NEER, uses derivatives to optimize the value of power generation assets and engages in power and gas marketing and trading activities to take advantage of expected future favorable price movements. See Note 2.

The changes in the fair value of NEE's consolidated subsidiaries' energy contract derivative instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

With respect to commodities, NEE’s 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. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 OCI and FPL cost recovery clauses category do not represent the economic exposure to commodity price movements.

Interest Rate Risk

NEE and FPL are exposed to risk resulting from changes in interest rates as a result of their respective 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 swaps and using a combination of fixed rate and variable rate debt. Interest rate swaps 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:

(a)	Estimated using quoted market prices for these or similar issues.


(b)	Estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation technique based on certain observable yield curves and indices considering the credit profile of the borrower.


(c)	Estimated using either quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or discounted cash flow valuation technique, considering the current credit spread of the debtor.


(d)	Modeled internally using discounted cash flow valuation technique and applying a credit valuation adjustment.

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 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 until at least 2030 (2032 at FPL).

At June 30, 2012, the estimated fair value of NEE's interest rate swaps was as follows:

Based upon a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, which is a reasonable near-term market change, the net fair value of NEE's net liabilities would increase by approximately $1,173 million ($596 million for FPL) at June 30, 2012.

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 $2,081 million and $1,970 million ($1,299 million and $1,238 million for FPL) at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At June 30, 2012, a hypothetical 10% decrease in the prices quoted by stock exchanges, which is a reasonable near-term market change, would result in a $196 million ($124 million for FPL) reduction in fair value. For FPL, a corresponding adjustment would be made to the related liability accounts based on current regulatory treatment, and for NEE’s non-rate regulated operations, a corresponding adjustment would be made to OCI to the extent the market value of the securities exceeded amortized cost and to OTTI loss to the extent the market value is below amortized cost.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk

At June 30, 2012, with respect to certain debt issuances and borrowings, NEECH has two cross currency swaps to hedge against currency movements with respect to both interest and principal payments. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of cross currency swaps was approximately $(11) million and $18 million, respectively.

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 includes 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 non-cash 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. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 96% of NEE’s and 100% of FPL’s energy marketing and trading counterparty credit risk exposure is associated with companies that have investment grade credit ratings.

See Management's Discussion - Energy Marketing and Trading and Market Risk Sensitivity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2012, 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 Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of each of NEE and FPL concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012.


(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 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 1. Legal Proceedings

NEE and FPL are parties to various legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of their respective businesses. For information regarding legal proceedings that could have a material effect on NEE or FPL, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings and Note 14 - Legal Proceedings to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Form 10-K and Note 9 - Legal Proceedings herein. Such descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in NEE’s and FPL’s March 2012 Form 10-Q and 2011 Form 10-K. The factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in NEE's and FPL's March 2012 Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in NEE's and FPL's 2011 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 NEE's and FPL's March 2012 Form 10-Q and 2011 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.
