AMERICAN RESOURCEFULNESS
When the Florida land boom of the 1920s created an unprecedented demand for energy, we brought together a patchwork of enterprises to help power cities that popped up overnight. That resourceful spirit is at the center of everything we do - from helping power America's workforce during WWII to providing NASA with energy as they worked to put a man on the moon.
AMERICAN GRIT
Our market capitalization makes us the largest utility company in the world, proud to be built and based in America. We generate more wind and solar energy than any other company in the world. And, as one of the country's most diverse energy company, we're using natural gas, nuclear, wind and solar to generate more electricity than any other electric utility in the United States.
AMERICAN INGENUITY
We're paving the way for America's Energy Era with innovation. In fact, we're recognized among the "top 25 in innovation" in the 2019 Fortune "World's Most Admired Companies" List*. We're making foreign oil a foreign concept, tearing down older plants and building cleaner, more efficient ones that run American-made natural gas. Our ingenuity is helping redefine what American energy can be.

Storing Energy

As the nation's leader in energy storage, we're not only capturing energy from the wind and sun, we're storing it. We're ensuring Americans have the energy they need, whenever they need it.

We have the largest amount of operational storage in the U.S., and we're continuing to lead the industry with innovations such as our Babcock Ranch Solar Energy Center - the largest combined solar-plus-storage facility in the country.
Energy storage benefits the power grid by balancing its load and responding to demand quickly. With more than 140 MW of storage capacity, we can store when energy demand is low and supply when energy demand is high.
Harnessing the Wind
Our wind energy capacity has nearly tripled over the past decade.
We own and operate nearly 15,000 megawatts of wind energy.
In 2018, we had wind facilities located in 19 states and 4 provinces in Canada.
From 2019-2022, we expect to bring online an additional 5,000 to 7,800 megawatts of clean, emissions-free wind energy.
Capturing the Sun
In 2018, we were one of the leading operators of renewable energy from the sun, producing solar energy in 22 states.
From 2019-2030, FPL, a NextEra Energy subsidiary, plans to install more than 30 million solar panels – resulting in more than 10,000 new megawatts of solar in Florida.
From 2019-2022, NextEra Energy Resources, a NextEra Energy subsidiary, expects to bring online an additional 3,800 to 7,300 megawatts of clean, emissions-free solar energy.
With operations in 36 U.S. states, we've built a diverse portfolio of energy assets and have invested more than any other utility in the country.
From 2009 through 2018, we invested $83 billion in U.S. energy infrastructure.
Our infrastructure delivers economic benefits across the country, with operations in 36 states and 14,300 workers employed. We paid more than $663 million in property taxes in 2018 alone.
These taxes help support our police officers, firefighters and other municipal employees, as well as help fund other local government projects like road construction and recreational parks for millions of American families.
Investing More in America's Energy Era
NextEra Energy is planning between $50 and $55 billion in new infrastructure investments through 2022.
American Infrastructure
We were America’s No. 1 capital investor in energy infrastructure and the fifth largest capital investor across all sectors in 2018.
Natural Gas
We began investing in U.S.-produced shale gas production in 2008 and today we have approximately 8 billion cubic feet of natural gas pipeline capacity in operation or under development.
Energy Grid
Our planned investments include natural gas-fired generation and other fossil fuel infrastructure, universal solar projects, as well as other improvements that make our grid smarter and more resilient.
