We plan to implement certain governance changes at NEP in order to enhance LP unitholder rights
Enhancing Unitholder Governance Rights Current Structure Board of Directors (BOD)
Nomination Process
Voting Process
New Structure
•
BOD at NEP GP
•
New BOD at NEP LP
•
NEE appoints all Directors
•
Three Directors appointed by GP (NEE)
•
NEP GP BOD oversees management of NEP
•
Four Directors elected by LP unitholders
•
NEP LP BOD oversees management of NEP
•
NEP CEO nominates and NEP LP BOD approves a slate of four Directors to stand for election
•
LP unitholders with 10% voting interest given proxy access rights for up to two Directors
•
NEE and LP unitholders with more than 5% voting power limited to 5% of votes for Directors
•
LP unitholders elect the majority of the NEP LP BOD
•
•
NEE nominates all Directors
LP unitholders do not elect directors
Proposed governance changes give LP unitholders the ability to elect a majority of NEP’s board
32
The enhanced governance structure will impact both NEP and NEE
Impacts to NEP • Enhanced governance rights for LP unitholders • Separate investor base with independent capital structure – Expect NEP to become a separately-rated entity, with its own balance sheet flexibility – Additional NEP balance sheet capacity should (on a relative basis) reduce common equity needs
• Continued opportunities for future growth, including potential acquisitions from NEE and/or third parties
33
Impacts to NEE • Potential increased value in NEE’s investment in NEP – Governance enhancements expected to improve value to LP unitholders
• NEP's financial statements, including its PP&E and debt, are required to be removed from, and will no longer be consolidated in, NEE's financial statements • Maintain potential to recycle capital through sales to NEP and/or third parties
NEP’s rating supports a HoldCo leverage target of 4.0x to 5.0x project cash available for distribution
Corporate Credit Rating and Debt Capacity • Based on rating agency feedback, NEP expects to be rated in the mid- to high-BB category • Expected to enable NEP to expand its financing alternatives and increase debt capacity • Credit profile should support HoldCo debt of 4.0x to 5.0x project distributions

We are announcing NEP has reached an agreement to issue $550 MM of convertible preferred securities
Convertible Preferred Offering(1) • NEP’s 4.50% coupon is the lowest ever for a preferred security in the MLP or Yieldco sector
• Provides a low cash cost of funds that is comparable to Holdco debt • No right to convert to common equity until 2019 – 15% conversion premium – NEP forced conversion rights begin in 2018 at up 20%

Aside from any modest issuances executed through the ATM, NEP is not expected to need to sell common equity until 2020 at the earliest
35 1) Refer to Appendix and SEC filings for additional detail of convertible preferred offering
Acquisitions from Energy Resources, organic growth and third party M&A all provide NEP with clear visibility to future portfolio growth
Growth Opportunities Potential Acquisition of Clean Energy Assets at Energy Resources, Including Future Development
Potential Organic Prospects for Texas Pipelines and Repowerings
Potential for 3rd Party Acquisitions
Existing Energy Resources’ portfolio alone could provide one potential path to 12% - 15% growth per year through 2022

NEP’s structure creates tax advantages similar to MLPs
Structural Tax Advantages Federal Income Tax Shield • Driven by existing and future NOLs generated primarily through MACRS depreciation of acquired assets offsetting taxable income
NEP is not expected to pay meaningful U.S. taxes for at least 15 years
121
Earnings & Profits Tax Shield • NEP distributions are treated as “return of capital” up to an investor’s outside basis • Return of capital treatment applies as long as NEP has negative current “earnings and profits”
C-Corp for Tax Purposes • Investors receive a 1099-DIV as opposed to K-1 • Receipt of 1099 avoids issues with holding NEP in a deferred tax account (IRA or 401K) that are common to K-1s
LP investors are not expected NEP has a broad universe of to pay taxes on distributions potential investors for at least 8 years

Due to the enhanced governance rights for LP unitholders, NextEra Energy will no longer consolidate NEP in its financial statements beginning in 2018
Practical Accounting Impacts of Deconsolidation GAAP Equity Method Investment
•
NEP’s balance sheet removed from NEE’s and replaced with equity investment in NEP NEE continues to recognize its share of NEP’s net income
•
Same as GAAP
•
NEE records day one deconsolidation gain based on fair value of NEE’s ownership interest in NEP
•
NEE reflects the day one gain over the life of NEP’s underlying assets, offset by higher depreciation(1)
•
NEE immediately records gains (losses) at fair value upon asset sales and equity dilution in NEP
•
NEE reflects the gains (losses) over the life of NEP’s underlying assets, offset by higher depreciation(1)

Adjusted Earnings
1) As a result of recording NEE’s investment in NEP and NEP asset sales at fair value, higher depreciation will be reflected in “Equity in earnings of equity method investees” on NEE’s consolidated statement of income
NextEra Energy’s adjusted earnings, with or without deconsolidation, are expected to be roughly the same

FPL’s regulatory capital employed is comprised of several distinct categories of assets
Regulatory Capital Employed • FPL’s adjusted retail rate base is the largest category of assets – Retail portion of net plant – Retail portion of net working capital
• FPSC requires several adjustments to our rate base – Investments in clauses are removed and earn in their respective clause mechanism – Construction projects that earn AFUDC are removed – Special funds (i.e. decommissioning, storm) are removed and have their own return
• Non-retail rate base earns a return primarily through wholesale contracts
• Deferred tax assets and liabilities are considered zero-cost capital rather than included in rate base 165

Definitional information
NextEra Energy, Inc. and NextEra Energy Resources, LLC. Adjusted Earnings Expectations This presentation refers to adjusted earnings per share expectations. Adjusted earnings expectations exclude the unrealized markto-market effect of non-qualifying hedges, net OTTI losses on securities held in NextEra Energy Resources’ nuclear decommissioning funds and the cumulative effect of adopting new accounting standards, none of which can be determined at this time, and operating results from the Spain solar project, merger related expenses, net gains associated with NEP’s deconsolidation beginning in 2018 and, for 2017, the gain on sale of the fiber-optic telecommunications business. In addition, adjusted earnings expectations assume, among other things: normal weather and operating conditions; continued recovery of the national and the Florida economy; supportive commodity markets; current forward curves; public policy support for wind and solar development and construction; market demand and transmission expansion to support wind and solar development; access to capital at reasonable cost and terms; no divestitures, other than to NextEra Energy Partners, LP, or acquisitions; no adverse litigation decisions; and no changes to governmental tax policy or incentives. Expected adjusted earnings amounts cannot be reconciled to expected net income because net income includes the mark-to-market effect of non-qualifying hedges and net OTTI losses on certain investments, none of which can be determined at this time.
NextEra Energy Resources, LLC. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA includes NextEra Energy Resources consolidated investments, excluding Spain, its share of NEP and forecasted investments, as well as its share of equity method investments. Adjusted EBITDA represents projected (a) revenue less (b) fuel expense, less (c) project operating expenses, less (d) corporate G&A, plus (e) other income, less (f) other deductions. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of non-qualifying hedges, other than temporary impairments, certain differential membership costs, and net gains associated with NEP’s deconsolidation beginning in 2018. Projected revenue as used in the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA represents the sum of projected (a) operating revenue plus a pre-tax allocation of (b) production tax credits, plus (c) investment tax credits and plus (d) earnings impact from convertible investment tax credits.
NextEra Energy Resources, LLC. Equivalent Gross Margin Projected equivalent gross margin includes NextEra Energy Resources consolidated investments as well as its share of equity method investments. Projected equivalent gross margin represents projected (a) revenue less (b) fuel expense. Projected equivalent gross margin excludes the impact of non-qualifying hedges. Projected revenue as used in the calculations of projected equivalent gross margin represents the sum of projected (a) operating revenue plus a pre-tax allocation of (b) production tax credits, plus (c) earnings impact from convertible investment tax credits. Projected revenue excludes the impact of non-qualifying hedges.

NEP’s tax shield creates the need to employ tax equity financing for projects that generate a large portion of their economics from tax credits
PAYGO Tax Equity Financing • Tax equity financing is used to monetize tax attributes • Under tax equity, an investor makes an up-front payment – Pre-payment for tax depreciation, 70% - 75% of expected PTCs, and a small portion of project cash
• Additionally, the investor makes PAYGO payments
Project Cash Flow Split(1) 8%-12% 30%-35%
55%-60%
Reported NEP CAFD
– 25% - 30% of annual PTCs that enhance asset cash flow profile
• Project cash not paid to the investor and PAYGO payments make up total CAFD 181 1) Cash flow splits are shown on a pre-tax basis

Definitional information
NextEra Energy Partners, LP. Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD Expectations This presentation refers to adjusted EBITDA, CAFD, and project-level CAFD expectations. NEP’s adjusted EBITDA expectations represent projected (a) revenue less (b) fuel expense, less (c) project operating expenses, less (d) corporate G&A, plus (e) other income less (f) other deductions including IDR fees. Projected revenue as used in the calculations of projected EBITDA represents the sum of projected (a) operating revenues plus (b) a pre-tax allocation of production tax credits, plus (c) a pre-tax allocation of investment tax credits plus (d) earnings impact from convertible investment tax credits and plus (e) the reimbursement for lost revenue received pursuant to a contract with NextEra Energy Resources. CAFD is defined as cash available for distribution and represents adjusted EBITDA less (1) a pre-tax allocation of production tax credits, less (2) a pre-tax allocation of investment tax credits, less (3) earnings impact from convertible investment tax credits, less (4) debt service, less (4) maintenance capital, less (5) income tax payments less, (6) other non-cash items included in adjusted EBITDA if any. CAFD excludes changes in working capital. Project-level CAFD is defined as project-level cash available for distribution and represents CAFD plus (1) corporate expenses, plus (2) IDR fees, plus (3) HoldCo interest expense. NextEra Energy Partners' expectations of 12/31/17 run rate adjusted EBITDA and CAFD reflect the consummation of forecasted acquisitions. These measures have not been reconciled to GAAP net income because NextEra Energy Partners did not prepare estimates of the effect of these acquisitions on certain GAAP line items that would be necessary to provide a forward-looking estimate of GAAP net income, and the information necessary to provide such a forward-looking estimate is not available without unreasonable effort.

Cautionary Statement And Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts, but instead represent the current expectations of NextEra Energy Partners, LP (together with its subsidiaries, NEP) regarding future operating results and other future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of NEP’s control. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, among others, statements concerning cash available for distributions expectations and future operating performance. In some cases, you can identify the forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “will,” “may result,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “aim,” “potential,” “projection,” “forecast,” “predict,” “goals,” “target,” “outlook,” “should,” “would” or similar words or expressions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are not a guarantee of future performance. The future results of NEP and its business and financial condition are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause NEP’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, or may require it to limit or eliminate certain operations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: NEP has a limited operating history and its projects include renewable energy projects that have a limited operating history. Such projects may not perform as expected; NEP's ability to make cash distributions to its unitholders is affected by wind and solar conditions at its renewable energy projects; NEP'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; NEP may fail to realize expected profitability or growth, and may incur unanticipated liabilities, as a result of the acquisition of NET Holdings Management, LLC (the Texas pipeline business); NEP is pursuing the expansion of natural gas pipelines in its portfolio that will require up-front capital expenditures and expose NEP to project development risks; NEP's ability to maximize the productivity of the Texas pipeline business and to complete potential pipeline expansion projects is dependent on the continued availability of natural gas production in the Texas pipelines’ areas of operation; Operation and maintenance of renewable energy projects involve significant risks that could result in unplanned power outages, reduced output, personal injury or loss of life; Portions of NEP’s pipeline systems have been in service for several decades. There could be unknown events or conditions or increased maintenance or repair expenses and downtime associated with NEP's pipelines that could have a material adverse effect on NEP's business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and ability to make distributions; Natural gas gathering and transmission activities involve numerous risks that may result in accidents or otherwise affect the Texas pipelines’ operations; The wind turbines at some of NEP's projects and some of NextEra Energy Resources LLC's (NEER) right of first offer (ROFO) projects are not generating the amount of energy estimated by their manufacturers’ original power curves, and the manufacturers may not be able to restore energy capacity at the affected turbines; NEP depends on the Texas pipelines and certain of the renewable energy projects in its portfolio for a substantial portion of its anticipated cash flows; Terrorist or similar attacks could impact NEP's projects, pipelines or surrounding areas and adversely affect its business; The ability of NEP 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. NEP's insurance coverage does not insure against all potential risks and it may become subject to higher insurance premiums; Warranties provided by the suppliers of equipment for NEP's projects may be limited by the ability of a supplier to satisfy its warranty obligations, or by the terms of the warranty, so the warranties may be insufficient to compensate NEP for its losses; Supplier concentration at certain of NEP's projects may expose it to significant credit or performance risks; NEP relies on interconnection and transmission facilities of third parties to deliver energy from its renewable energy projects and, if these facilities become unavailable, NEP's wind and solar projects may not be able to operate or deliver energy;
189
Cautionary Statement And Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results (cont.) If third-party pipelines and other facilities interconnected to the Texas pipelines become partially or fully unavailable to transport natural gas, NEP's revenues and cash available for distribution to unitholders could be adversely affected; NEP's business is subject to liabilities and operating restrictions arising from environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; Natural gas operations are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations, compliance with which may require significant capital expenditures, increase NEP's cost of operations and affect or limit its business plans, or expose NEP to liabilities; NEP's renewable energy projects may be adversely affected by legislative changes or a failure to comply with applicable energy regulations; A change in the jurisdictional characterization of some of the Texas pipeline entities' assets, or a change in law or regulatory policy, could result in increased regulation of these assets, which could have a material adverse effect on NEP's business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make cash distributions to its unitholders; NEP may incur significant costs and liabilities as a result of pipeline integrity management program testing and any necessary pipeline repair or preventative or remedial measures; The Texas pipelines’ operations could incur significant costs if the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration or the Railroad Commission of Texas adopts more stringent regulations; Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) may claim certain immunities under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and Mexican law, and the Texas pipeline entities' ability to sue or recover from Pemex for breach of contract may be limited and may be exacerbated if there is a deterioration in the economic relationship between the U.S. and Mexico; NEP's partnership agreement restricts the voting rights of unitholders owning 20% or more of its common units, and under certain circumstances this could be reduced to 10%; NEP does not own all of the land on which the projects in its portfolio are located and its use and enjoyment of the property may be adversely affected to the extent that there are any lienholders or leaseholders that have rights that are superior to NEP's rights or the U.S. Bureau of Land Management suspends its federal rights-of-way grants; NEP is subject to risks associated with litigation or administrative proceedings that could materially impact its operations, including, but not limited to, proceedings related to projects it acquires in the future; NEP's wind projects located in Canada are subject to Canadian domestic content requirements under their Feed-In-Tariff contracts; NEP's crossborder operations require NEP to comply with anti-corruption laws and regulations of the U.S. government and non-U.S. jurisdictions; NEP is subject to risks associated with its ownership or acquisition of projects or pipelines that remain under construction, which could result in its inability to complete construction projects on time or at all, and make projects too expensive to complete or cause the return on an investment to be less than expected; NEP relies on a limited number of customers and is exposed to the risk that they are unwilling or unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to NEP or that they otherwise terminate their agreements with NEP; NEP may not be able to extend, renew or replace expiring or terminated power purchase agreements (PPAs) at favorable rates or on a long-term basis; NEP may be unable to secure renewals of long-term natural gas transportation agreements, which could expose its revenues to increased volatility; If the energy production by or availability of NEP's U.S. renewable energy projects is less than expected, they may not be able to satisfy minimum production or availability obligations under NEP’s U.S. Project Entities’ PPAs; NEP's growth strategy depends on locating and acquiring interests in additional projects consistent with its business strategy at favorable prices; NextEra Energy Operating Partners, LP’s (NEP OpCo’s) partnership agreement requires that it distribute its available cash, which could limit NEP’s ability to grow and make acquisitions; NEP's ability to consummate future acquisitions will depend on NEP's ability to finance those acquisitions; Lower prices for other fuel sources may reduce the demand for wind and solar energy; Reductions in demand for natural gas in the United States or Mexico and low market prices of natural gas could materially adversely affect the Texas pipelines’ operations and cash flows; Government laws, regulations and policies providing incentives and subsidies for clean energy could be changed, reduced or eliminated at any time and such changes may negatively impact NEP's growth strategy;
190
Cautionary Statement And Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results (cont.) NEP's growth strategy depends on the acquisition of projects developed by NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE) and third parties, which face risks related to project siting, financing, construction, permitting, the environment, governmental approvals and the negotiation of project development agreements; Acquisitions of existing clean energy projects involve numerous risks; Renewable energy procurement is subject to U.S. state and Canadian provincial regulations, with relatively irregular, infrequent and often competitive procurement windows; NEP may continue to acquire other sources of clean energy, including, but not limited to, natural gas and nuclear projects, and may expand to include other types of assets including, but not limited to, transmission projects, and any further acquisition of non-renewable energy projects, including, but not limited to, transmission projects, may present unforeseen challenges and result in a competitive disadvantage relative to NEP's more-established competitors; NEP faces substantial competition primarily from regulated utilities, developers, independent power producers, pension funds and private equity funds for opportunities in North America; The natural gas pipeline industry is highly competitive, and increased competitive pressure could adversely affect NEP's business; NEP may not be able to access sources of capital on commercially reasonable terms, which would have a material adverse effect on its ability to consummate future acquisitions; Restrictions in NEP OpCo's subsidiaries' revolving credit facility and term loan agreements could adversely affect NEP's business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make cash distributions to its unitholders; NEP's cash distributions to its unitholders may be reduced as a result of restrictions on NEP's subsidiaries’ cash distributions to NEP under the terms of their indebtedness; NEP's subsidiaries’ substantial amount of indebtedness may adversely affect NEP's ability to operate its business, and its failure to comply with the terms of its subsidiaries' indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on NEP's financial condition; Currency exchange rate fluctuations may affect NEP's operations; NEP is exposed to risks inherent in its use of interest rate swaps; NEE exercises substantial influence over NEP and NEP is highly dependent on NEE and its affiliates; NEP is highly dependent on credit support from NEE and its affiliates. NEP's subsidiaries may default under contracts or become subject to cash sweeps if credit support is terminated, if NEE or its affiliates fail to honor their obligations under credit support arrangements, or if NEE or another credit support provider ceases to satisfy creditworthiness requirements, and NEP will be required in certain circumstances to reimburse NEE for draws that are made on credit support; NEER or one of its affiliates is permitted to borrow funds received by NEP's subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, NEP OpCo, as partial consideration for its obligation to provide credit support to NEP, and NEER will use these funds for its own account without paying additional consideration to NEP and is obligated to return these funds only as needed to cover project costs and distributions or as demanded by NEP OpCo. NEP's financial condition and ability to make distributions to its unitholders, as well as its ability to grow distributions in the future, is highly dependent on NEER’s performance of its obligations to return all or a portion of these funds; NEP may not be able to consummate future acquisitions from NEER or from third parties; NEP GP and its affiliates, including, but not limited to, NEE, have conflicts of interest with NEP and limited duties to NEP and its unitholders, and they may favor their own interests to the detriment of NEP and holders of NEP common units; Common units are subject to NEP GP’s limited call right; NEE and other affiliates of NEP GP are not restricted in their ability to compete with NEP; NEP may be unable to terminate the Management Services Agreement among NEP, NextEra Energy Management Partners, LP (NEE Management), NEP OpCo and NextEra Energy Operating Partners GP, LLC (NEP OpCo GP) (MSA); If NEE Management terminates the MSA, NEER terminates the management subcontract or either of them defaults in the performance of its obligations thereunder, NEP may be unable to contract with a substitute service provider on similar terms, or at all; NEP's arrangements with NEE limit NEE’s liability, and NEP has agreed to indemnify NEE against claims that it may face in connection with such arrangements, which may lead NEE to assume greater risks when making decisions relating to NEP than it otherwise would if acting solely for its own account;
