FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

Regulatory, Legislative and Legal Risks


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


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


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


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

•

Any reductions to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives that support utility scale renewable energy, including, but not limited to, tax incentives, renewable portfolio standards 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, 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 broaden the scope of its provisions regarding the regulation of OTC financial derivatives and make certain provisions applicable to NEE and FPL.


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


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


•	Extensive federal regulation of the operations 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 materially adversely affect NEE's and FPL's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.


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

Operational Risks


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

•

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


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


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


•	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.


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


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


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


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


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


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


•	NEE's and FPL's retail businesses are subject to the risk that sensitive customer data may be compromised, which could result in a material adverse impact to their reputation and/or 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 materially adversely affected by negative publicity.


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


•	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.


•	Acquisitions by NEP may not be completed and, even if completed, NEE may not realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisitions, which could materially adversely affect NEE’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

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


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


•	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 materially adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition of NEE and FPL.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


•	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, 2014 (2014 Form 10-K) and in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in NEE's and FPL's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 (June 2015 Form 10-Q), and investors should refer to those sections of the 2014 Form 10-K and the June 2015 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.

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2014 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 primarily with outstanding and forecasted debt issuances and borrowings, and to optimize the value of NEER's power generation and gas infrastructure 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 and gas infrastructure assets, providing full energy and capacity requirements services primarily to distribution utilities, and engaging in power and gas marketing and trading activities to take advantage of expected future favorable price movements and changes in the expected volatility of prices in the energy markets. These risk management activities involve the use of derivative instruments executed within prescribed limits to manage the risk associated with fluctuating commodity prices. Transactions in derivative instruments are executed on recognized exchanges or via the OTC markets, depending on the most favorable credit terms and market execution factors. For NEER's power generation and gas infrastructure assets, derivative instruments are used to hedge 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 output of these assets. These hedges are designed to reduce the effect of adverse changes in the wholesale forward commodity markets associated with NEER's power generation and gas infrastructure assets. With regard to full energy and capacity requirements services, NEER is required to vary the quantity of energy and related services based on the load demands of the customers served. For this type of transaction, derivative instruments are used to hedge the anticipated electricity quantities required to serve these customers and reduce the effect of unfavorable changes in the forward energy markets. Additionally, NEER takes positions in the energy markets based on differences between actual forward market levels and management's view of fundamental market conditions, including supply/demand imbalances, changes in traditional flows of energy, changes in short- and long-term weather patterns and anticipated regulatory and legislative outcomes. NEER uses derivative instruments to realize value from these market dislocations, subject to strict risk management limits around market, operational and credit exposure.

Derivative instruments, when required to be marked to market, are recorded on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. At FPL, substantially all changes in the derivatives' fair value are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability until the contracts are settled, and, upon settlement, any gains or losses are passed through the

fuel clause. For NEE's non-rate regulated operations, predominantly NEER, essentially all changes in the derivatives' fair value for power purchases and sales, fuel sales and trading activities are recognized on a net basis in operating revenues; fuel purchases used in the production of electricity are recognized 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. Transactions for which physical delivery is deemed not to have occurred are presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated statements of income. For commodity derivatives, NEE believes that, where offsetting positions exist at the same location for the same time, the transactions are considered to have been netted and therefore physical delivery has been deemed not to have occurred for financial reporting purposes. Settlements related to derivative instruments are primarily recognized in net cash provided by operating activities in NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

While most of NEE's derivatives are entered into for the purpose of managing commodity price risk, optimizing the value of NEER's power generation and gas infrastructure assets, 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 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 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 September 30, 2015, NEE's AOCI included amounts related to interest rate cash flow hedges with expiration dates through October 2036 and foreign currency cash flow hedges with expiration dates through September 2030. Approximately $58 million of net losses included in AOCI at September 30, 2015 is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months as the principal and/or interest payments are made. Such amounts assume no change in interest rates, currency exchange rates or scheduled principal payments.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments - The tables below present NEE's and FPL's gross derivative positions at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, as required by disclosure rules. However, the majority of the underlying contracts are subject to master netting agreements and generally would not be contractually settled on a gross basis. Therefore, the tables below also present the derivative positions on a net basis, which reflect the offsetting of positions of certain transactions within the portfolio, the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting arrangements and the netting of margin cash collateral (see Note 3 - Recurring Fair Value Measurements for netting information), as well as the location of the net derivative position on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, FPL recorded losses of approximately $141 million and $204 million, respectively, related to commodity contracts as regulatory assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, FPL recorded approximately $113 million of losses and $34 million of gains, respectively, related to commodity contracts as regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities, respectively, on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, NEE had interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $8.1 billion and $7.4 billion, respectively, and foreign currency swaps with notional amounts totaling approximately $702 million and $661 million, respectively.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features - Certain derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features including, among other things, the requirement to maintain an investment grade credit rating from specified credit rating agencies and certain

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

financial ratios, as well as credit-related cross-default and material adverse change triggers. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate fair value of NEE's derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was approximately $2.1 billion ($173 million for FPL) and $2.7 billion ($369 million for FPL), respectively.

If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements and other commodity-related contracts were triggered, certain subsidiaries of NEE, including FPL, could be required to post collateral or settle contracts according to contractual terms which generally allow netting of contracts in offsetting positions. Certain contracts contain multiple types of credit-related triggers. To the extent these contracts contain a credit ratings downgrade trigger, the maximum exposure is included in the following credit ratings collateral posting requirements. If FPL's and NEECH's credit ratings were downgraded to BBB/Baa2 (a two level downgrade for FPL and a one level downgrade for NEECH from the current lowest applicable rating), applicable NEE subsidiaries would be required to post collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately $250 million ($30 million at FPL) as of September 30, 2015 and $700 million ($130 million at FPL) as of December 31, 2014. If FPL's and NEECH's credit ratings were downgraded to below investment grade, applicable NEE subsidiaries would be required to post additional collateral such that the total posted collateral would be approximately $2.3 billion ($0.6 billion at FPL) and $2.8 billion ($0.7 billion at FPL) as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Some contracts do not contain credit ratings downgrade triggers, but do contain provisions that require certain financial measures be maintained and/or have credit-related cross-default triggers. In the event these provisions were triggered, applicable NEE subsidiaries could be required to post additional collateral of up to approximately $720 million ($160 million at FPL) and $850 million ($200 million at FPL) as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Collateral related to derivatives may be posted in the form of cash or credit support in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2015, applicable NEE subsidiaries have posted approximately $157 million (none at FPL) in cash which could be applied toward the collateral requirements described above. In addition, at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, applicable NEE subsidiaries have posted approximately $18 million (none at FPL) and $236 million (none at FPL), respectively, in the form of letters of credit which could be applied toward the collateral requirements described above. FPL and NEECH have credit facilities generally in excess of the collateral requirements described above that would be available to support, among other things, derivative activities. Under the terms of the credit facilities, maintenance of a specific credit rating is not a condition to drawing on these credit facilities, although there are other conditions to drawing on these credit facilities.

Additionally, some contracts contain certain adequate assurance provisions 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

The fair value of assets and liabilities are determined using either unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) or pricing inputs that are observable (Level 2) whenever that information is available and using unobservable inputs (Level 3) to estimate fair value only when relevant observable inputs are not available. NEE and FPL use several different valuation techniques to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities, relying primarily on the market approach of using prices and other market information for identical and/or comparable assets and liabilities for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. 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, which are included in cash and cash equivalents and, for restricted cash, other current assets and other noncurrent assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. NEE primarily holds 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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

are the best estimate of fair value as represented by the transfer of the asset or liability through an orderly transaction in the marketplace at the measurement date.

Most exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities are valued directly using unadjusted quoted prices. For exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities where the principal market is deemed to be inactive based on average daily volumes and open interest, the measurement is established using settlement prices from the exchanges, and therefore considered to be valued using other observable inputs.

NEE, through its subsidiaries, including FPL, also enters into OTC commodity contract derivatives. The majority of these contracts are transacted at liquid trading points, and the prices for these contracts are verified using quoted prices in active markets from exchanges, brokers or pricing services for similar contracts.

NEE, through NEER, also enters into full requirements contracts, which, in most cases, meet the definition of derivatives and are measured at fair value. These contracts typically have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation of the contract. In addition, certain exchange and non-exchange traded derivative options at NEE have one or more significant inputs that are not observable, and are valued using industry-standard option models.

In all cases where NEE and FPL use significant unobservable inputs for the valuation of a commodity contract, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The primary input to the valuation models for commodity contracts is the forward commodity curve for the respective instruments. Other inputs include, but are not limited to, assumptions about market liquidity, volatility, correlation and contract duration as more fully described below in Significant Unobservable Inputs Used in Recurring Fair Value Measurements. In instances where the reference markets are deemed to be inactive or do not have transactions for a similar contract, the derivative assets and liabilities may be valued using significant other observable inputs and potentially significant unobservable inputs. In such instances, the valuation for these contracts is established using techniques including extrapolation from or interpolation between actively traded contracts, or estimated basis adjustments from liquid trading points. NEE and FPL regularly evaluate and validate the inputs used to determine fair value by a number of methods, consisting of various market price verification procedures, including the use of pricing services and multiple broker quotes to support the market price of the various commodities. In all cases where there are assumptions and models used to generate inputs for valuing derivative assets and liabilities, the review and verification of the assumptions, models and changes to the models are undertaken by individuals that are independent of those responsible for estimating fair value.

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

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

All price, volatility, correlation and customer migration inputs used in valuation are subject to validation by the Trading Risk Management group. The Trading Risk Management group performs a risk management function responsible for assessing credit, market and operational risk impact, reviewing valuation methodology and modeling, confirming transactions, monitoring approval processes and developing and monitoring trading limits. The Trading Risk Management group is separate from the transacting group. For markets where independent third-party data is readily available, validation is conducted daily by directly reviewing this market data against inputs utilized by the transacting group, and indirectly by 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 Trading Risk Management group. In addition, other valuation assumptions such as implied correlations and customer migration rates are reviewed and approved by the Trading Risk Management group on a periodic basis. Newly created models used in the valuation process are also subject to testing and approval by the Trading Risk Management group prior to use and established models are reviewed annually, or more often as needed, by the Trading Risk Management group.

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

The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of NEE's commodity contracts categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2015 are as follows:

In addition, the fair value measurement of interest rate swap liabilities related to the solar projects in Spain of approximately $115 million at September 30, 2015 includes a significant credit valuation adjustment. The credit valuation adjustment, considered an unobservable input, reflects management's assessment of non-performance risk of the subsidiaries related to the solar projects in Spain that are party to the swap agreements.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements - In March 2013, NEER initiated a plan and received internal authorization to pursue the sale of its ownership interests in oil-fired generating plants located in Maine (Maine fossil), which resulted in the recording of a loss during that period which was reflected within discontinued operations at NEE. In March 2014, NEER decided not to pursue the sale

Accordingly, the Maine fossil assets were written-up to management's current estimate of fair value resulting in a gain of approximately $21 million ($12 million after-tax) which is included as a separate line item in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value measurement (Level 3) was estimated using an income approach based primarily on the updated capacity revenue forecasts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Recorded at the Carrying Amount - The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, commercial paper and notes payable approximate their fair values. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of other financial instruments, excluding those recorded at fair value and disclosed above in Recurring Fair Value Measurements, are as follows:

(a)	Primarily represents investments accounted for under the equity method and loans not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

(b)

Primarily classified as held to maturity. Fair values are primarily 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 ratings and market-related information. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, NEE had no notes receivable reported in non-accrual status.

(c)

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, for NEE, $18,064 million and $19,973 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 noted above and those carried at fair value (see Recurring Fair Value Measurements above) consist of FPL's storm fund assets of approximately $75 million at both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and NEE's nuclear decommissioning fund assets of $4,949 million and $5,091 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively ($3,360 million and $3,449 million, respectively, for FPL). 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. The amortized cost of debt and equity securities is approximately $1,848 million and $1,440 million, respectively, at September 30, 2015 and $1,906 million and $1,366 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014 ($1,426 million and $704 million, respectively, at September 30, 2015 and $1,519 million and $664 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014 for FPL). For FPL's special use funds, consistent with regulatory treatment, changes in fair value, including any other than temporary impairment losses, result in a corresponding adjustment to the related regulatory 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 September 30, 2015 of approximately eight years at both NEE and FPL. FPL's storm fund primarily consists of debt securities with a weighted-average maturity at September 30, 2015 of approximately three years. The cost of securities sold is determined using the specific identification method.

Realized gains and losses and proceeds from the sale or maturity of available for sale securities are as follows:

Regulations issued by the FERC and the NRC provide general risk management guidelines to protect nuclear decommissioning funds and to allow such funds to earn a reasonable return. The FERC regulations prohibit, among other investments, investments in any securities of NEE or its subsidiaries, affiliates or associates, excluding investments tied to market indices or mutual funds. Similar restrictions applicable to the decommissioning funds for NEER's nuclear plants are included in the NRC operating licenses for those facilities or in NRC regulations applicable to NRC licensees not in cost-of-service environments. With respect to the decommissioning fund for Seabrook, decommissioning fund contributions and withdrawals are also regulated by the 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.

4. Income Taxes

NEE's effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately 32% and 30%, respectively. The rates for both periods reflect the benefit of PTCs of approximately $29 million and $34 million, respectively, related to NEER's wind projects, as well as ITCs and deferred income tax benefits associated with grants under the Recovery Act (convertible ITCs) totaling approximately $16 million and $37 million, respectively, related to solar and certain wind projects at NEER.

NEE's effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately 30% and 31%, respectively. The rates for both periods reflect the benefit of PTCs of approximately $105 million and $132 million, respectively, related to NEER's wind projects, as well as ITCs and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs totaling approximately $67 million and $69 million, respectively, related to solar and certain wind projects at NEER, including, in 2015, the effect of a state income tax law change that extends the ITC carryforward period for certain wind projects. In addition, the rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects a noncash income tax charge of approximately $45 million associated with structuring Canadian assets in connection with the creation of NEP.

NEE recognizes PTCs as wind energy is generated and sold based on a per kWh rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes, which may differ significantly from amounts computed, on a quarterly basis, using an overall effective income tax rate anticipated for the full year. NEE uses this method of recognizing PTCs for specific reasons, including that PTCs are an integral part of the financial viability of most wind projects and a fundamental component of such wind projects' results of operations. PTCs, as well as deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs, can significantly affect NEE's effective income tax rate depending on the amount of pretax income. The amount of PTCs recognized can be significantly affected by wind generation and by the roll off of PTCs after ten years of production (PTC roll off).

5. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

As of September 30, 2015, NEE has twenty 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 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 $224 million and $279 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 $275 million and $338 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 entered into a purchased power agreement effective in 1995 with a 330 MW coal-fired facility to purchase substantially all of the facility's capacity and 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 price it pays per MWh (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 recovered through the fuel clause as approved by the FPSC.

NEER - NEE consolidates nineteen 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, as well as construction, and through its equity ownership has the obligation to absorb expected losses of these VIEs.

A 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 for the repayment of debt. The assets and liabilities of the VIE were approximately $91 million and $52 million, respectively, at September 30, 2015 and $85 million and $55 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt.

Two indirect subsidiaries of NEER each contributed, to a NEP subsidiary, an approximately 50% ownership interest in three entities which own solar PV facilities that, upon completion of construction, are expected to have a total generating capacity of 277 MW, of which approximately 95 MW have been placed in service as of September 30, 2015. Each of the two indirect subsidiaries of NEER is considered a VIE since it has insufficient equity at risk, and is consolidated by NEER. The VIEs use third-party debt and equity to finance a portion of development and construction activities and require subordinated financing from NEER to complete the facility under construction. These VIEs will sell their electric output under power sales contracts to third parties with expiration dates in 2035 and 2036. The debt balances are secured by liens against the assets of the entities. The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NEER. The assets and liabilities of these VIEs were approximately $507 million and $477 million, respectively, at September 30, 2015, and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and long-term debt.

The other sixteen NEER VIEs consolidate several entities which own and operate wind electric generating facilities with the capability of producing a total of 4,490 MW. These VIEs sell their electric output either under power sales contracts to third parties with expiration dates ranging from 2018 through 2039 or 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

(unaudited)

by liens against the generating facilities and the other assets of these entities or by pledges of NEER's ownership interest in these entities. The debt holders have no recourse to the general credit of NEER for the repayment of debt. The assets and liabilities of these VIEs totaled approximately $6.4 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2015 and $6.6 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2014. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, several NEE subsidiaries have investments totaling approximately $612 million ($502 million at FPL) and $716 million ($606 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 September 30, 2015, NEE subsidiaries, including FPL, 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.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis - In February 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that will modify current consolidation guidance. The standard makes changes to both the variable interest entity model and the voting interest entity model, including modifying the evaluation of whether limited partnerships or similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities and amending the guidance for assessing how relationships of related parties affect the consolidation analysis of VIEs. The standard is effective for NEE and FPL beginning January 1, 2016. NEE and FPL are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have, if any, on their consolidated financial statements.

6. Common Shareholders' Equity

Earnings Per Share - The reconciliation of NEE's basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to NEE is as follows:

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


(b)	Interest rate swap agreements have been entered into with respect to these issuances. See Note 2.

(c)

These tax exempt bonds permit individual bond holders to tender the bonds for purchase at any time prior to maturity. In the event the bonds are tendered for purchase, they would be remarketed by a designated remarketing agent in accordance with the related indenture. If the remarketing is unsuccessful, FPL would be required to purchase the bonds. As of September 30, 2015, all bonds tendered for purchase have been successfully remarketed. In the event the bonds are tendered by individual bond holders and not remarketed prior to maturity, FPL's bank revolving line of credit facilities are available to support the purchase of the bonds.


(d)	Approximately $54 million of the borrowings bear interest at a variable rate based on an underlying index plus a margin and the remaining amount of borrowings bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.38%.

In May 2015, NEECH completed a remarketing of $600 million aggregate principal amount of its Series E Debentures due June 1, 2017 (Debentures) that were issued in May 2012 as components of equity units issued concurrently by NEE (May 2012 equity units). The Debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NEE. In connection with the remarketing of the Debentures, the interest rate on the Debentures was reset to 1.586% per year, and interest is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 2015. In connection with the settlement of the contracts to purchase NEE common stock that were issued as components of the May 2012 equity units, on June 1, 2015, NEE issued 7,860,000 shares of common stock in exchange for $600 million.

The Series F Debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NEE. These remarketed debentures were issued in September 2012 as components of equity units issued by NEE (September 2012 equity units). In connection with the remarketing of the debentures, the interest rate on all of the Series F Debentures was reset to 2.056% per year and interest is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2015. In connection with the settlement of the contracts to purchase NEE common stock that were issued as components of the September 2012 equity units, in the third quarter of 2015, NEE issued a total of 8,173,099 shares of common stock in exchange for $650 million.

In September 2015, NEE sold $700 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 5% undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Series H Debenture due September 1, 2020 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 September 1, 2018 (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 $95.35 to $114.42. If purchased on the final settlement date, as of September 30, 2015, the number of shares issued would (subject to antidilution adjustments) range from 0.5244 shares if the applicable market value of a share of common stock is less than or equal to $95.35 to 0.4370 shares if the applicable market value of a share is equal to or greater than $114.42, with applicable market value to be determined using the average closing prices of NEE common stock over a 20-day trading period ending August 29, 2018. Total annual distributions on the equity units will be at the rate of 6.371%, consisting of interest on the debentures (2.36% per year) and payments under the stock purchase contracts (4.011% per year). The interest rate on the debentures is expected to be reset on or after March 1, 2018. A holder of the 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, the debentures that are components of the Corporate Units will be used 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.

In September 2015, through a tender offer, FPL purchased and canceled an aggregate of approximately $400 million of several series of its first mortgage bonds with interest rates ranging from 5.40% to 6.20% and maturity dates ranging from 2033 through 2037.

In October 2015, a NEP subsidiary entered into and borrowed $600 million under several variable rate senior secured term loan agreements maturing in 2018. The borrowings are guaranteed by NEP and NEP OpCo and are not guaranteed by NEE.

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs - In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. The amendments in this standard require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this standard. The standard is effective for NEE and FPL beginning January 1, 2016. NEE and FPL are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have on their consolidated financial statements.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

Contracts - In addition to the commitments made in connection with the estimated capital expenditures included in the table in Commitments above, FPL has commitments under long-term purchased power and fuel contracts. As of September 30, 2015, FPL is obligated under take-or-pay purchased power contracts to pay for 375 MW annually through 2021 and 953 MW annually through December 2015. FPL also has various firm pay-for-performance contracts to purchase approximately 455 MW from certain cogenerators and small power producers with expiration dates ranging from 2025 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 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. In addition, FPL has entered into 25-year natural gas transportation agreements with each of Sabal Trail and Florida Southeast Connection, each of which will build, own and operate a pipeline that will be part of a natural gas pipeline system, for a quantity of 400,000 MMBtu/day beginning on May 1, 2017 and increasing to 600,000 MMBtu/day on May 1, 2020. These agreements contain firm commitments that are contingent upon the occurrence of certain events, including FERC approval and completion of construction of the pipeline system to be built by Sabal Trail and Florida Southeast Connection. See Commitments above.

As of September 30, 2015, NEER has entered into contracts with expiration dates ranging from November 2015 through 2030 primarily for the purchase of wind turbines, wind towers and solar modules and related construction and development activities, as well as for the supply of uranium and the conversion, enrichment and fabrication of nuclear fuel. Approximately $3.0 billion of commitments under such contracts are included in the estimated 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 December 2015 through 2033.

Included in Corporate and Other in the table below is the remaining commitment by NEECH subsidiaries of approximately $2.2 billion for the construction of the natural gas pipelines. Amounts committed for the remainder of 2015 through 2019 are also included in the estimated capital expenditures table in Commitments above.

(d)	Includes an approximately $65 million commitment to invest primarily in clean power and technology businesses through 2021.


(e)	Excludes approximately $85 million and $615 million in 2015 and 2016, respectively, of joint obligations of NEECH and NEER which are included in the NEER amounts above.

In September 2015, FPL assumed ownership of a 250 MW coal-fired generation facility located in Jacksonville, Florida and terminated its long-term purchased power agreement for substantially all of the facility’s capacity and energy for a purchase price of approximately $521 million. The FPSC approved a stipulation and settlement between the Office of Public Counsel and FPL regarding issues relating to the ratemaking treatment for the purchase of this 250 MW coal-fired generation facility. Key elements of the settlement include, among other things, the following:

•

FPL will recover the purchase price and associated income tax gross-up as a regulatory asset which will be amortized over approximately ten years. Approximately $709 million will be recovered through the capacity clause with a return on the portion of the unamortized balance associated with the purchase price and $138 million will be recovered through base rates until the next test year for a general base rate proceeding, at which time the unamortized balance will be transferred to the capacity clause for continued recovery until fully amortized. At September 30, 2015, the regulatory assets, net of amortization, totaled approximately $840 million and are included in purchased power agreement termination and current other regulatory assets on NEE’s and FPL’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.


•	The reserve amount that is available for amortization under the 2012 rate agreement, which is effective through December 2016, was reduced by $30 million to $370 million, unless FPL needs the entire $400 million reserve to maintain a minimum regulatory ROE of 9.50%.

In October 2015, the Florida Industrial Power Users Group filed a notice of appeal with the Florida First District Court of Appeals challenging the FPSC's approval of this settlement.

In addition, NEP entered into an agreement, effective July 31, 2015, to acquire 100% of the membership interests in NET Midstream, a developer, owner and operator of a portfolio of seven long-term contracted natural gas pipeline assets located in Texas. The NET Midstream pipeline portfolio has total existing capacity of approximately 4 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day, of which 3 Bcf per day is currently contracted with firm ship-or-pay contracts. There are planned expansion projects for the three largest pipelines in the portfolio that, if completed, are expected to provide an additional 0.9 Bcf per day of contracted volumes. On October 1, 2015, a subsidiary of NEP completed the acquisition. The aggregate purchase price of approximately $2 billion included approximately $934 million in cash consideration and the assumption of approximately $654 million in existing debt of NET Midstream and its subsidiaries at closing and excluded post-closing working capital adjustments. The purchase price is subject to (i) a $200 million holdback payable, in whole or in part, upon satisfaction of financial performance and capital expenditure thresholds relating to planned expansion projects and (ii) a $200 million holdback retained for an 18-month period to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the sellers. The $200 million indemnity holdback may be reduced by up to $10 million depending on certain post-closing employee retention thresholds. If successful, NEP may spend up to an additional $100 million of capital expenditures for the planned expansion projects, bringing the total transaction size for the NET Midstream acquisition to approximately $2.1 billion.

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 $13.1 billion of liability insurance coverage per incident at any nuclear reactor in the U.S. Under the secondary financial protection system, NEE is subject to retrospective assessments of up to $1.0 billion ($509 million for FPL), plus any applicable taxes, per incident at any nuclear reactor in the U.S., payable at a rate not to exceed $152 million ($76 million for FPL) per incident per year. NEE and FPL are contractually entitled to recover a proportionate share of such assessments from the owners of minority interests in Seabrook, Duane Arnold and St. Lucie Unit No. 2, which approximates $15 million, $38 million and $19 million, plus any applicable taxes, per incident, respectively.

NEE participates in a nuclear insurance mutual company that provides $2.75 billion of limited insurance coverage per occurrence per site for property damage, decontamination and premature decommissioning risks at its nuclear plants and a sublimit of $1.5 billion for non-nuclear perils. 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 $187 million ($113 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 $3 million, $5 million and $4 million, plus any applicable taxes, respectively.

Due to the high cost and limited coverage available from third-party insurers, NEE does not have property insurance coverage for a substantial portion of its transmission and distribution property and has no property 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 or Lone Star Transmission, LLC, would be borne by NEE and/or FPL and/or their affiliates, as the case may be, and could have a material adverse effect on NEE's and FPL's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Spain Solar Projects - In March 2013 and May 2013, events of default occurred under the project-level financing agreements for the solar thermal facilities in Spain (Spain solar projects) as a result of changes of law that occurred in December 2012 and February 2013. These changes of law negatively affected the projected economics of the projects and caused the project-level financing to be unsupportable by expected future project cash flows. Under the project-level financing, events of default (including those discussed below) provide for, among other things, a right by the lenders (which they have not exercised) to accelerate the payment of the project-level debt. Accordingly, in 2013, the project-level debt and the associated derivative liabilities related to interest rate swaps were classified as current maturities of long-term debt and current derivative liabilities, respectively, on NEE's condensed consolidated balance sheets, and totaled $588 million and $115 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2015. In July 2013, the Spanish government published a new law that created a new economic framework for the Spanish renewable energy sector. Additional regulatory pronouncements from the Spanish government needed to complete and implement the framework were finalized in June 2014. Based on NEE's assessment, the regulatory pronouncements do not indicate a further impairment of the Spain solar projects. Since the third quarter of 2014, events of default have occurred under the project-level financing agreements related to certain debt service coverage ratio covenants not being met. The project-level subsidiaries have requested the lenders to waive the events of default related to the debt service coverage ratio.

Impairments recorded due to the changes of law caused the project-level subsidiaries in Spain to have a negative net equity position on their balance sheets, which requires them under Spanish law to commence liquidation proceedings if the net equity position is not restored to specified levels. Prior to 2015, Spanish law had provided an exemption applicable to the project-level subsidiaries that enabled the exclusion of asset-related impairments in the equity calculation. Such exemption has not yet been granted for 2015, and therefore, the project-level subsidiaries commenced liquidation on April 23, 2015. The liquidators are reviewing the liquidation balance sheets and inventory schedules and will make recommendations to NextEra Energy España, S.L. (NEE España), the NEER subsidiary in Spain that is the direct shareholder of the project-level subsidiaries, to either restructure the project-level debt or file for insolvency. The liquidation event could cause the lenders to seek to accelerate the payment of the project-related debt and/or foreclose on the project assets, which they have not done to date. However, as part of a settlement agreement reached in December 2013 between NEECH, NEE España, the project-level subsidiaries and the lenders, the future recourse of the lenders under the project-level financing is effectively limited to the letters of credit described below and to the assets of the project-level subsidiaries. Under the settlement agreement, the lenders, among other things, irrevocably waived events of default related to changes of law that existed at the time of the settlement as described above, and NEECH affiliates provided for the project-level subsidiaries to post approximately €37 million (approximately $42 million as of September 30, 2015) in letters of credit to fund

operating and debt service reserves under the project-level financing, of which €8 million (approximately $9 million) has been drawn as of September 30, 2015. NEE España, the project-level subsidiaries and the lenders have been in negotiations to seek to restructure the project-level financing; however, there can be no assurance that the project-level financing will be successfully restructured or that the lenders will not exercise remedies available to them under the project financing agreements for, among other things, current and future events of default, if any, or for the commencement of liquidation by the project-level subsidiaries.

Legal Proceedings - In November 1999, the Attorney General of the United States, on behalf of the 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 an interest of approximately 76%, 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 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 stock repurchase, or (iii) the stock repurchase left Adelphia with unreasonably small capital. The trial was completed in May 2012 and closing arguments were heard in July 2012. In May 2014, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, issued its decision after trial, finding, among other things, that Adelphia was not insolvent, or rendered insolvent, at the time of the stock repurchase. The bankruptcy court further ruled that Adelphia was not left with inadequate capital or equitably insolvent at the time of the stock repurchase. The decision after trial represented proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law which were subject to de novo review by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. In March 2015, the U.S. District Court issued a final order which effectively affirmed the findings of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in NEE's favor. In April 2015, Adelphia filed an appeal of the final order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

NEE and FPL are vigorously defending, and believe that they or their affiliates have meritorious defenses to, the lawsuits described above. In addition to the legal proceedings discussed above, NEE and its subsidiaries, including FPL, are involved in other legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims in the ordinary course of their businesses. Generating plants in which subsidiaries of NEE, including FPL, have an ownership interest are also involved in legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims, the liabilities from which, if any, would be shared by such subsidiary. In the event that NEE and FPL, or their affiliates, do not prevail in the lawsuits described above or these other legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims, there may be a material adverse effect on their financial statements. While management is unable to predict with certainty the outcome of the lawsuits described above or these other legal and regulatory proceedings, actions and claims, based on current knowledge it is not expected that their ultimate resolution, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of NEE or FPL.

Revenue Recognition - In July 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of the effective date of the new accounting standard related to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and required disclosures. The standard is effective for NEE and FPL beginning January 1, 2018. NEE and FPL are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have, if any, on their consolidated financial statements.

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

OVERVIEW

NEE’s operating performance is driven primarily by the operations of its two principal subsidiaries, FPL, which serves approximately 4.8 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 North America of renewable energy from the wind and sun. The table below presents net income (loss) attributable to NEE and earnings (loss) per share attributable to NEE by reportable segment, FPL and NEER, and by Corporate and Other, which is primarily comprised of the operating results of NEET, FPL FiberNet and other business activities, as well as other income and expense items, including interest expense, income taxes and eliminating entries (see Note 9 for additional segment information). The following discussions should be read in conjunction with the Notes contained herein and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the 2014 Form 10-K. The results of operations for an interim period generally will not give a true indication of results for the year. In the following discussions, all comparisons are with the corresponding items in the prior year period.

______________________


(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 under 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 performance-based compensation under NEE’s employee incentive compensation plans. NEE also uses adjusted earnings when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. NEE’s management believes 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 under GAAP, management believes that the amount and/or nature of such items make period to period comparisons of operations difficult and potentially confusing. Adjusted earnings do not represent a substitute for net income, as prepared under GAAP.

Adjusted earnings exclude the unrealized mark-to-market effect of non-qualifying hedges (as described below) and 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). However, other adjustments may be made from time to time with the intent to provide more meaningful and comparable results of ongoing operations.

NEE and NEER segregate into two categories unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on derivative transactions. The first category, referred to as non-qualifying hedges, represents certain energy derivative and interest rate derivative transactions entered into as economic hedges, which do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, or for which hedge accounting treatment is not elected or has been discontinued. Changes in the fair value of those transactions are marked to market and reported in the consolidated statements of income, resulting in earnings volatility because the economic offset to the positions are not marked to market. As a consequence, NEE's net income reflects only the movement in one part of economically-linked transactions. For example, a gain (loss) in the non-qualifying hedge category for certain energy derivatives is offset by decreases (increases) in the fair value of related physical asset positions in the portfolio or contracts, which are not marked to market under GAAP. For this reason, NEE's management views results expressed excluding the 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, which is included in adjusted earnings, represents the net unrealized effect of actively traded positions entered into to take advantage of expected market price movements and all other commodity hedging activities. At FPL, substantially all changes in the fair value of energy derivative transactions are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability until the contracts are settled, and, upon settlement, any gains or losses are passed through the fuel clause. See Note 2.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, NEER decided not to pursue the sale of Maine fossil and recorded an after-tax gain of $12 million to increase Maine fossil's carrying value to its estimated fair value. See Note 3 - Nonrecurring Fair Value

Measurements. In order to make period to period comparisons more meaningful, adjusted earnings also exclude the after-tax gain associated with Maine fossil, costs incurred in 2015 associated with the proposed merger pursuant to which Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of NEE and the after-tax operating results associated with the Spain solar projects.

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

____________________

(a)

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately $158 million of gains and $11 million of losses, respectively, are included in NEER's net income; the balance is included in Corporate and Other. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately $203 million of gains and $274 million of losses, respectively, are included in NEER's net income; the balance is included in Corporate and Other.

(b)

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately $13 million of losses and $2 million of losses, respectively, are included in NEER's net income; the balance is included in Corporate and Other. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately $14 million of losses and $1 million of income, respectively, is included in NEER's net income; the balance is included in Corporate and Other.

The change in unrealized mark-to-market activity from non-qualifying hedges is primarily attributable to changes in forward power and natural gas prices and interest rates, as well as the reversal of previously recognized unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses as the underlying transactions were realized.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary

Net income attributable to NEE for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was higher than the prior period by $219 million, reflecting higher results at FPL, NEER and Corporate and Other. Net income attributable to NEE for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was higher than the prior period by $664 million, reflecting higher results at FPL, NEER and Corporate and Other.

FPL's increase in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily driven by continued investments in plant in service while earning an 11.50% regulatory ROE on its retail rate base and higher AFUDC - equity.

NEER's results increased $171 million and $556 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, reflecting net unrealized gains from non-qualifying hedge activity compared to losses on such hedges in the prior year periods, higher customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading results, earnings from new investments and higher earnings on the Spain solar projects primarily related to the absence of a 2014 operating revenue adjustment, partly offset by higher growth-related interest and corporate general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, NEER's results also reflect the absence of the 2014 NEP-related charge and costs, offset by lower results from existing assets and the gas infrastructure business.

Corporate and Other's results increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to favorable income tax adjustments and 2015 investment gains compared to 2014 investment losses, and also for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the absence of debt reacquisition losses recorded in 2014. These positives were partly offset in both periods by costs associated with the proposed merger.

NEE's effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately 32% and 30%, respectively. NEE's effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately 30% and 31%, respectively. The rates for all periods reflect the benefit of PTCs for NEER's wind projects, as well as ITCs and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs for solar and certain wind projects at NEER. PTCs, ITCs 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. The amount of PTCs recognized can be significantly affected by wind generation and by PTC roll off. PTCs for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $29 million and $34 million, respectively, and $105 million and $132 million for the comparable nine-month periods. ITCs and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $16 million and $37 million, respectively, and $67 million and $69 million for the comparable nine-month periods. In addition, the rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014

reflects a noncash income tax charge of approximately $45 million associated with structuring Canadian assets in connection with the creation of NEP. See Note 4.

FPL: Results of Operations

FPL’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $489 million and $462 million, respectively, representing an increase of $27 million. FPL’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1,283 million and $1,231 million, respectively, representing an increase of $52 million.

The use of reserve amortization is permitted by a January 2013 FPSC final order approving a stipulation and settlement between FPL and several intervenors in FPL's base rate proceeding (2012 rate agreement). In order to earn a targeted regulatory ROE, subject to limitations provided in the 2012 rate agreement, reserve amortization is calculated using a trailing thirteen-month average of retail rate base and capital structure in conjunction with the trailing twelve months regulatory retail base net operating income, which primarily includes the retail base portion of base and other revenues, net of O&M, depreciation and amortization, interest and tax expenses. The drivers of FPL's net income not reflected in the reserve amortization calculation typically include wholesale and transmission service revenues and expenses, cost recovery clause revenues and expenses, AFUDC - equity and costs not allowed to be recovered from retail customers by the FPSC. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, FPL recorded the reversal of reserve amortization of approximately $115 million and $131 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, FPL recorded the reversal of reserve amortization of approximately $81 million.

The $27 million and $52 million increase in FPL's net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, was primarily driven by:

•

higher earnings on investment in plant in service of approximately $26 million and $56 million, respectively. Investment in plant in service grew FPL's average retail rate base for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 by approximately $0.7 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, when compared to the same periods last year, reflecting, among other things, ongoing transmission and distribution additions and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the modernized Riviera Beach power plant placed in service on April 1, 2014, and


•	higher AFUDC - equity of $13 million and $19 million, respectively,

partly offset by,


•	lower earnings from wholesale services of $8 million and $5 million, respectively, and


•	lower cost recovery clause earnings of $3 million and $9 million, respectively.

FPL's operating revenues consisted of the following:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
	(millions)
Retail base	$	1,609	$	1,571	$	4,280	$	4,097
Fuel cost recovery	1,078		1,117		2,931		2,973
Other cost recovery clauses and pass-through costs, net of any deferrals	461		507		1,241		1,348
Other, primarily wholesale and transmission sales, customer-related fees and pole attachment rentals	126		120		360		321
Total	$	3,274	$	3,315	$	8,812	$	8,739

Retail Base

Retail base revenues increased approximately $43 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the modernized Riviera Beach power plant being placed in service on April 1, 2014.

Retail Customer Usage and Growth

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, FPL experienced a 1.2% and 2.4% increase, respectively, in average usage per retail customer and, in both periods, experienced a 1.4% increase in the average number of customer accounts, which collectively, together with other factors, increased revenues by approximately $38 million and $140 million, respectively. Favorable weather contributed to the increased revenues.

Cost Recovery Clauses

Revenues from fuel and other cost recovery clauses and pass-through costs, such as franchise fees, revenue taxes and storm-related surcharges, are largely a pass-through of costs. Such revenues also include a return on investment allowed to be recovered through the cost recovery clauses on certain assets, primarily related to solar and environmental projects, natural gas reserves and nuclear capacity. The decrease in fuel cost recovery revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 is due to a decrease of approximately $55 million and $79 million, respectively, related to lower average fuel factor, a decrease due to lower

gas sales associated with an incentive mechanism allowed under the 2012 rate agreement (incentive gas sales) and lower revenues from interchange power sales totaling $19 million and $86 million, respectively, partly offset by increased revenues of $35 million and $123 million, respectively, related to higher retail energy sales.

Declines in revenues from other cost recovery clauses had little impact on earnings and were largely due to reductions in expenses associated with conservation and capacity clause programs. These other cost recovery clauses contributed approximately $19 million and $18 million to FPL’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $56 million and $55 million, respectively.

Other Items Impacting FPL's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income

Fuel, Purchased Power and Interchange Expense

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



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
	(millions)
Fuel and energy charges during the period	$	1,021	$	1,102	$	2,765	$	3,097
Net recognition of deferred retail fuel costs	46		5		155		—
Net deferral of retail fuel costs	—		—		—		(140		)
Other, primarily capacity charges, net of any capacity deferral	128		148		378		410
Total	$	1,195	$	1,255	$	3,298	$	3,367

The decrease in fuel and energy charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflects approximately $92 million and $400 million of lower fuel and energy prices, partly offset by $26 million and $124 million related to higher energy sales, respectively. Fuel and energy charges also reflect a decrease of $15 million and $56 million related to lower incentive gas sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. In addition, FPL recognized $46 million and $155 million of deferred retail fuel costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to recognition of $5 million of deferred retail fuel costs and the deferral of retail fuel costs of $140 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease in other in both comparable periods is primarily due to recognition of previously deferred capacity charges in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

O&M Expenses

FPL's O&M expenses decreased $39 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflecting lower cost recovery clause costs, primarily relating to conservation programs, which, as discussed above, do not have a significant impact on net income.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

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



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
	(millions)
Reserve reversal recorded under the 2012 rate agreement	$	115	$	131	$	81	$	—
Other depreciation and amortization recovered under base rates	317		305		939		903
Depreciation and amortization recovered under cost recovery clauses and securitized storm-recovery cost amortization	53		53		134		143
Total	$	485	$	489	$	1,154	$	1,046

The reversal of reserve amortization reflects adjustments to the depreciation and fossil dismantlement reserve provided under the 2012 rate agreement. At September 30, 2015, approximately $330 million of this reserve remains available for future amortization. Reserve amortization is recorded as a reduction of regulatory liabilities - accrued asset removal costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the reversal of such amortization was recorded to achieve the targeted retail regulatory ROE. The increase in other depreciation and amortization expense recovered under base rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 is due to higher plant in service balances. See Note 8 - Contracts regarding a $30 million reduction in the reserve available for amortization under the 2012 rate agreement.

Taxes Other Than Income Taxes and Other

Taxes other than income taxes and other increased $6 million and $18 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, primarily due to higher property taxes reflecting growth in plant in service balances and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, partly offset by lower franchise fees, which do not have a significant impact on net income.

Interest Expense

The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily reflects higher average debt balances.

AFUDC - Equity

The increase in AFUDC - equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily due to additional AFUDC - equity recorded on construction expenditures associated with the Port Everglades modernization project, the replacement/upgrade of turbines at the Lauderdale and Fort Myers facilities and the upgrade of compressors in certain combined-cycle units. In addition, the increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was partly offset by lower AFUDC - equity associated with the Riviera Beach power plant which was placed in service in April 2014.

Capital Initiatives

For the period 2015 through 2018, FPL expects to invest capital of approximately $13.9 billion to $15.8 billion primarily related to projects that are focused on improving reliability, reducing fuel cost and reducing emissions, as well as maintenance of existing assets.

Natural Gas Reserves Project

In March 2015, after receiving FPSC approval, FPL began investing in long-term natural gas supplies to provide a physical hedge on the price of natural gas to fuel its fossil generating fleet. In July 2015, the FPSC issued an order approving a modified version of guidelines proposed by FPL under which FPL could participate in additional natural gas production projects and recover its costs through the fuel clause without prior FPSC approval. Key elements of the modified guidelines include, among other things, an annual investment cap of $500 million along with an escalating annual production cap as a percent of FPL’s total natural gas burn and an emphasis on investing in proven and probable reserves. The Office of Public Counsel and the Florida Industrial Power Users Group have each filed notices of appeal to the Florida Supreme Court challenging the FPSC’s approval of FPL’s initial investment in natural gas supplies and challenging the FPSC’s approval of the guidelines, which appeals are pending.

NEER: Results of Operations

NEER’s net income less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $375 million and $204 million, respectively, representing an increase of $171 million. NEER’s net income less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $927 million and $371 million, respectively, representing an increase of $556 million. The primary drivers, on an after-tax basis, of the change are in the following table.

______________________

(a)

Includes PTCs, ITCs and deferred income tax and other benefits associated with convertible ITCs for wind and solar projects, as applicable, but excludes 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)	Excludes allocation of interest expense or corporate general and administrative expenses.


(c)	See Overview - Adjusted Earnings for additional information.

New Investments

Results from new investments for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased primarily due to:


•	the addition of approximately 1,401 MW of wind generation and 386 MW of solar generation during or after the three months ended September 30, 2014,

partly offset by,


•	lower deferred income tax and other benefits associated with convertible ITCs of $16 million.

Results from new investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased primarily due to:


•	the addition of approximately 1,475 MW of wind generation and 656 MW of solar generation during or after the nine months ended September 30, 2014,

partly offset by,


•	lower deferred income tax and other benefits associated with convertible ITCs of $18 million.

Existing Assets

Results from NEER's existing asset portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased primarily due to:


•	higher results from merchant assets in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region of approximately $11 primarily due to the absence of a 2014 outage,

partly offset by,


•	lower results from wind assets of $10 million primarily due to PTC roll-off and higher operating costs, offset in part by favorable wind resource.

Results from NEER's existing asset portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased primarily due to:


•	lower results from wind assets of approximately $108 million primarily due to weaker wind resource offset in part by a favorable ITC impact related to changes in state income tax laws and favorable pricing,

partly offset by


•	higher results from merchant assets in the ERCOT region of approximately $21 primarily due to the absence of a 2014 outage.

Gas Infrastructure

The decrease in gas infrastructure results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily due to increased depreciation expense primarily related to both higher depletion rates and increased production in 2015, and the absence of 2014 gains on the sale of investments in certain wells, partly offset by gains from exiting the hedged positions on a number of future gas production opportunities. NEER continues to monitor its oil and gas producing properties for potential impairments due to low prices for oil and natural gas commodity products.

Customer Supply and Proprietary Power and Gas Trading

Results from customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading increased for the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to improved margins and favorable market conditions. Results from customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to improved margins and favorable market conditions compared to losses in 2014 due to the impact of extreme winter weather on the full requirements business.

Asset Sales

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, NEER recorded an after-tax gain of approximately $14 million on the sale of a 75 MW wind project that became operational in the first quarter of 2014.

NEP-related Charge and Costs

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, NEER's results reflect an approximately $45 million noncash income tax charge associated with structuring Canadian assets and $22 million in NEP initial public offering transaction costs.

Interest and General and Administrative Expenses

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest and general and administrative expenses reflects higher borrowing and other costs to support the growth of the business.

Other

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the increase in other primarily reflects the absence of 2014 favorable income tax benefits.

Other Factors

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

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $343 million primarily due to:


•	higher unrealized mark-to-market gains from non-qualifying hedges ($278 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $1 million of gains on such hedges for the comparable period in 2014),


•	higher revenues from new investments of $37 million,


•	higher revenues from the customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading business and the gas infrastructure business of $27 million, and

•

higher revenues from existing assets of $2 million primarily reflecting the absence of a 2014 reduction in revenue of $19 million related to the Spain solar projects, higher contracted revenues at Point Beach and higher revenues from wind assets due to increased wind resource, partly offset by lower revenues in the ERCOT region due to lower gas prices offset in part by the absence of a 2014 outage.

Operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $998 million primarily due to:


•	higher unrealized mark-to-market gains from non-qualifying hedges ($337 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $367 million of losses on such hedges for the comparable period in 2014),


•	higher revenues from the customer supply and proprietary power and gas trading business of approximately $225 million reflecting favorable market conditions,


•	higher revenues from new investments of $171 million, and


•	higher revenues from the gas infrastructure business of $46 million primarily reflecting gains recorded upon exiting the hedged positions on a number of future gas production opportunities,

partly offset by,


•	lower revenues from existing assets of $149 million reflecting weaker wind resource, lower revenues at Marcus Hook 750 and in the ERCOT region due to lower gas prices, offset in part by the absence of a 2014 outage in the ERCOT region, and lower contracted revenues at Duane Arnold, partly offset by higher revenues due to the absence of 2014 outages at Seabrook and Point Beach.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $37 million primarily due to:


•	higher operating expenses associated with new investments of approximately $29 million, and


•	higher O&M expenses reflecting higher costs associated with growth in the NEER business and the absence of the 2014 reimbursement by a vendor of certain O&M-related costs,

partly offset by,


•	lower fuel expense of approximately $32 million primarily in the ERCOT region.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $133 million primarily due to:


•	higher operating expenses associated with new investments of approximately $93 million,


•	higher depreciation associated with the gas infrastructure business of $46 million primarily related to higher depletion rates, and


•	higher O&M expenses reflecting higher costs associated with growth in the NEER business, higher taxes other than income taxes and other reflecting the absence of 2014 gains on the sale of investments in certain wells in the gas infrastructure business and the absence of the 2014 reimbursement by a vendor of certain O&M-related costs,

partly offset by,


•	lower fuel expense of approximately $97 million primarily in the ERCOT region.

Interest Expense

NEER’s interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $1 million and $27 million, respectively, reflecting approximately $12 million and $2 million of unfavorable changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps associated with the Spain solar projects for the three- and nine-month periods in 2015 compared to $16 million and $51 million of unfavorable changes for the respective periods in 2014, partly offset by higher average debt balances.

Benefits Associated with Differential Membership Interests - net

Benefits associated with differential membership interests - net for both periods presented reflect benefits recognized by NEER as third-party investors received their portion of the economic attributes, including income tax attributes, of the underlying wind projects, net of associated costs.

Gains on Disposal of Assets - net

Gains on disposal of assets - net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 primarily reflect gains on sales of securities held in NEER's nuclear decommissioning funds. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects a $23 million gain on the sale of a 75 MW wind project.

Tax Credits, Benefits and Expenses

PTCs from wind projects and ITCs and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs from solar and certain 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. A portion of the PTCs have been allocated to investors in connection with sales of differential membership interests. Also see Summary above and Note 4 for a discussion of PTCs, ITCs and deferred income tax benefits associated with convertible ITCs, as well as benefits associated with differential membership interests - net above.

Capital Initiatives

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, NEER placed into service approximately 126 MW of new Canadian wind generation, 99 MW of new U.S. wind generation and 115 MW of U.S. solar generation. For the period 2015 through 2018, NEER expects to invest capital of approximately $13.7 billion to $15.1 billion primarily for new wind projects with generation totaling at least 3,000 MW to 3,300 MW (including approximately 225 MW added to date) and new solar projects with generation totaling 1,800 MW to 1,900 MW (including 115 MW added to date), as well as natural gas infrastructure investments, nuclear fuel and maintenance of existing assets, excluding the NEP pipeline acquisition discussed below.

Sale of Assets to NEP

In January 2015 and February 2015, indirect subsidiaries of NEER sold a 250 MW wind facility located in Texas and an approximately 20 MW solar facility located in California, respectively, to indirect subsidiaries of NEP.

In May 2015, an indirect subsidiary of NEER sold four wind generating facilities with contracted generating capacity totaling approximately 664 MW located in North Dakota, Oklahoma, Washington and Oregon to an indirect subsidiary of NEP.

In October 2015, an indirect subsidiary of NEER sold a 149 MW wind generating facility located in Ontario, Canada to an indirect subsidiary of NEP.

NEP Pipeline Acquisition

See Note 8 - Contracts regarding NEP's acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in NET Midstream, a developer, owner and operator of a portfolio of seven long-term contracted natural gas pipeline assets located in Texas.

Corporate and Other: Results of Operations

Corporate and Other is primarily comprised of the operating results of NEET, FPL FiberNet and other business activities, as well as corporate interest income and expenses. Corporate and Other allocates a portion of NEECH's corporate 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 NEECH's corporate 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 September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
	(millions)
Interest expense, net of allocations to NEER	$	(21	)	$	(23	)	$	(65	)	$	(74	)
Interest income	8			8			24			24
Federal and state income tax benefits (expenses)	17			(1		)	32			(2		)
Merger-related expenses	(5		)	—			(16		)	—
Other - net	16			10			60			31
Net income (loss)	$	15		$	(6	)	$	35		$	(21	)

The decrease in interest expense, net of allocations to NEER, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflects lower average debt balances due in part to a higher allocation of interest costs to NEER reflecting growth in NEER's business. The federal and state income tax benefits for both periods presented reflect consolidating income tax adjustments and, also for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, favorable changes in state income tax laws. Other includes all other corporate income and expenses, as well as other business activities. The increase in other - net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily reflects 2015 investment gains compared to 2014 investment losses and, also for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the absence of debt reacquisition losses recorded in 2014, the pretax amount of which is reflected in other - net in NEE's condensed consolidated statements of income.

Capital Initiatives

For the period 2015 through 2018, businesses within Corporate and Other expect to invest capital of approximately $2.9 billion to $3.1 billion primarily for infrastructure projects through investments in natural gas pipelines and transmission facilities.

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 flows from operations, short- and long-term borrowings, the issuance, from time to time, of short- and long-term debt and equity securities and proceeds from the sale of differential membership interests, 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.

In October 2015, NEE authorized a program to purchase, from time to time, up to $150 million of common units representing limited partner interests of NEP. Under the program, any purchases may be made in amounts, at prices and at such times as NEE or its subsidiaries deem appropriate, all subject to market conditions and other considerations. The purchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Any purchases will be made in such quantities, at such prices, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as determined by NEE or its subsidiaries in their discretion, based on factors such as market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The common unit purchase program does not require NEE to acquire any specific number of common units and may be modified or terminated by NEE at any time. NEE owns and controls the general partner of NEP and beneficially owns 77.4% of NEP’s voting power at September 30, 2015. The purpose of the program is not to cause NEP’s common units to be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange or to cause the common units to be deregistered with the SEC. Also in October 2015, NEP announced that it plans to put in place an at-the-market equity issuance program pursuant to which NEP may issue from time to time, up to $150 million of its common units.

Cash Flows

Sources and uses of NEE's and FPL's cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

(a)

Provide for the funding of loans up to $7,850 million ($3,000 million for FPL) and the issuance of letters of credit up to $6,600 million ($2,500 million for FPL). The entire amount of the credit facilities is available for general corporate purposes and to provide additional liquidity in the event of a loss to the companies’ or their subsidiaries’ operating facilities (including, in the case of FPL, a transmission and distribution property loss). FPL’s bank revolving line of credit facilities are also available to support the purchase of $718 million of pollution control, solid waste disposal and industrial development revenue bonds (tax exempt bonds) in the event they are tendered by individual bond holders and not remarketed prior to maturity.


(b)	$500 million of FPL's and $750 million of NEECH's bank revolving line of credit facilities expire in 2016; essentially all of the remaining facilities at each of FPL and NEECH expire in 2020.


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

Additionally, at September 30, 2015, certain subsidiaries of NEER and NEP had credit or loan facilities with available liquidity as set forth in the table below. In order for the applicable borrower to borrow or to have letters of credit issued under the terms of the agreements for the NEER facilities listed below, among other things, NEE is required to maintain a ratio of funded debt to total capitalization that does not exceed a stated ratio. These NEER agreements also generally contain covenants and default and related acceleration provisions relating to, among other things, failure of NEE to maintain a ratio of funded debt to total capitalization at or below the specified ratio. Some of the payment obligations of the borrowers under the NEER agreements listed below ultimately are guaranteed by NEE.

(a)	Available for general corporate purposes; the current intent is to use these facilities for the purchase, development, construction and/or operation of Canadian renewable generating assets. Consist of four credit facilities with expiration dates ranging from February 2016 to December 2016.

(b)

NEP OpCo and one of its direct subsidiaries are required to comply with certain financial covenants on a quarterly basis and NEP OpCo's ability to pay cash distributions is subject to certain other restrictions. The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity for letters of credit and incremental commitments to increase the revolving credit facility up to $1 billion in the aggregate. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by NEP OpCo and NEP.

Capital Support

Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Guarantees

Certain subsidiaries of NEE, including 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, capital expenditures for NEER's wind and solar development, nuclear activities and other contractual agreements. Substantially all of NEE's and FPL's guarantee arrangements are on behalf of their consolidated subsidiaries for their related payment obligations.

In addition, as part of contract negotiations in the normal course of business, NEE and certain of its subsidiaries, including 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 to make payments 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 September 30, 2015, NEE had approximately $839 million of standby letters of credit ($3 million for FPL), $282 million of surety bonds ($61 million for FPL) and $11.7 billion notional amount of guarantees and indemnifications ($22 million for FPL), of which $6.8 billion of letters of credit, guarantees and indemnifications ($10 million for FPL) have expiration dates within the next five years.

Each of NEE and FPL believe it is unlikely that it would be required to make any payments under these letters of credit, surety bonds, guarantees and indemnifications. At September 30, 2015, NEE and FPL did not have any significant liabilities recorded for these letters of credit, surety bonds, guarantees and indemnifications.

Shelf Registration

In July 2015, NEE, NEECH and FPL filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for an unspecified amount of securities which became effective upon filing. The amount of securities issuable by the companies is established from time to time by their respective boards of directors. As of October 29, 2015, securities that may be issued under the registration statement include, depending on the registrant, senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities, junior subordinated debentures, first mortgage bonds, common stock, preferred stock, stock purchase contracts, stock purchase units, warrants and guarantees related to certain of those securities. As of October 29, 2015, the board-authorized capacity available to issue securities was approximately $4.8 billion for NEE and NEECH (issuable by either or both of them up to such aggregate amount) and $2.5 billion for FPL.

New Accounting Rules and Interpretations

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis - In February 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that will modify current consolidation guidance. See Note 5 - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs - In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. See Note 7 - Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.

ENERGY MARKETING AND TRADING AND MARKET RISK SENSITIVITY

NEE and FPL are exposed to risks associated with adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates and equity prices. Financial instruments and positions affecting the financial statements of NEE and FPL described below are held primarily for purposes other than trading. Market risk is measured as the potential loss in fair value resulting from hypothetical reasonably possible changes in commodity prices, interest rates or equity prices over the next year. Management has established risk management policies to monitor and manage such market risks, as well as credit risks.

Commodity Price Risk

NEE and FPL use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options, futures and forwards) to manage the 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 its power generation and gas infrastructure assets and engages in power and gas marketing and trading activities to take advantage of expected future favorable price movements. See Note 2.

The changes in the fair value of NEE's consolidated subsidiaries' energy contract derivative instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 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. The VaR figures are as follows:

(a)	Non-qualifying hedges are employed to reduce the market risk exposure to physical assets or contracts which are not marked to market. The VaR figures for the non-qualifying hedges and hedges in FPL cost recovery clauses category do not represent the economic exposure to commodity price movements.

Interest Rate Risk

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

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

————————————


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


(b)	Primarily 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).

As of September 30, 2015, NEE had interest rate contracts with a notional amount of approximately $8.1 billion related to long-term debt issuances, of which $2.0 billion are fair value hedges at NEECH that effectively convert fixed-rate debt to a variable-rate debt instrument. The remaining $6.1 billion of notional amount of interest rate contracts relate to cash flow hedges to manage exposure to the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate debt instruments, which primarily relate to NEER debt issuances. At September 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of NEE's fair value hedges and cash flow hedges was approximately $52 million and $(337) million, respectively. See Note 2.

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 $968 million ($477 million for FPL) at September 30, 2015.

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 $2,531 million and $2,634 million ($1,508 million and $1,561 million for FPL) at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. At September 30, 2015, a hypothetical 10% decrease in the prices quoted on stock exchanges, which is a reasonable near-term market change, would result in a $233 million ($138 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.

Credit Risk

NEE and its subsidiaries are also exposed to credit risk through their energy marketing and trading operations. Credit risk is the risk that a financial loss will be incurred if a counterparty to a transaction does not fulfill its financial obligation. NEE manages counterparty credit risk for its subsidiaries with energy marketing and trading operations through established policies, including counterparty credit limits, and in some cases credit enhancements, such as cash prepayments, letters of credit, cash and other collateral and guarantees.

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


•	Operations are primarily concentrated in the energy industry.


•	Trade receivables and other financial instruments are predominately with energy, utility and financial services related companies, as well as municipalities, cooperatives and other trading companies in the U.S.


•	Overall credit risk is managed through established credit policies and is overseen by the EMC.


•	Prospective and existing customers are reviewed for creditworthiness based upon established standards, with customers not meeting minimum standards providing various credit enhancements or secured payment terms, such as letters of credit or the posting of margin cash collateral.


•	Master netting agreements are used to offset cash and 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 September 30, 2015, approximately 94% 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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 September 30, 2015, each of NEE and FPL had performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including NEE's and FPL's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of each company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of each of NEE and FPL concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015.


(b)	Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

NEE and FPL are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations and of their internal controls. This results in refinements to processes throughout NEE and FPL. However, there has been no change in NEE's or FPL's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during NEE's and FPL's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, NEE's or FPL's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 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 13 - Legal Proceedings to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2014 Form 10-K and Note 8 - 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 the June 2015 Form 10-Q and 2014 Form 10-K. The factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the June 2015 Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2014 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 above and in the June 2015 Form 10-Q and 2014 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.

(b)	None


(c)	Other events


(i)	Reference is made to Item 1. Business - NEE's Operating Subsidiaries - FPL - FPL System Capability and Load in the 2014 Form 10-K.

In September 2015, FPL filed a petition with the FPSC for approval to build a new approximately 1,600 MW natural gas-fired combined-cycle unit in Okeechobee County, Florida with a planned in-service date of June 2019. This new unit is also subject to approval by the Siting Board (comprised of the governor and cabinet) under the Florida Electrical Power Plant Siting Act. Several parties, including the Office of Public Counsel, have intervened in the FPSC approval process. An FPSC decision is expected in January 2016 and Siting Board approval is expected by the end of 2016.


(ii)	Reference is made to Item 1. Business - NEE Environmental Matters - Regulation of GHG Emissions in the 2014 Form 10‑K.

In October 2015, the EPA's final rule for new fossil fuel-fired electric generating units regulated under Section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act became effective, which is not expected to have an impact on NEE or FPL. Also in October 2015, the EPA published a final rule under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act (Clean Power Plan) to reduce carbon emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units which will become effective in December 2015. The Clean Power Plan sets emission rate targets for each state and requires each state to develop a compliance plan by the fall of 2016 to meet these emissions targets. The Clean Power Plan indicates that compliance will start in 2022 with both interim and final target dates, each with specific emissions reductions. NEE and FPL are analyzing the Clean Power Plan and the impact of any final compliance obligations cannot be determined until the state plans have been finalized.
