About the company

FPL earns returns set by Florida regulators on the power plants and grid lines it builds, while Energy Resources sells power to utilities, technology companies and other large buyers under long-term contracts. NextEra Energy was formed in 1984 as the holding company for Florida Power & Light, which dates to 1925, and is based in Juno Beach, Florida.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Scale is set to jump: the Dominion deal signed in May 2026 would form the largest regulated electric utility worldwide.
- Regulated growth is steady: FPL's capital earning approved returns grew 9.3% in the year to June 2026.
- A nuclear restart adds jobs: a $1.9 billion federal loan in September 2026 backs 450 Iowa plant roles.
What critics are saying
- Old scandals still cost money: NextEra agreed in June 2026 to pay $150 million to settle shareholder fraud claims.
- Affordability pressure is rising: Florida regulators approved FPL's $7 billion, four-year rate increase in November 2025, its largest ever.
- Expect reorganization: the May 2026 Dominion deal plans dual headquarters in Juno Beach and Richmond, Virginia.
What makes NextEra Energy unique
- Its project queue is huge: Energy Resources had about 35.1 gigawatts of signed projects awaiting construction in July 2026.
- Google buys its revived nuclear power: it agreed in October 2025 to take all Duane Arnold output for 25 years.

12%A $22 billion gas-fired power plant will supply a data center campus in South Texas, the result of a trade deal between the US and South Korea. Dubbed Project Star, the plant in Encinal, La Salle County, will be operated by NextEra Energy Resources and Related Companies, with San Antonio-based Lewis Energy Group as a partner. The plant will generate 6.47 gigawatts, mainly for the 5-gigawatt data center campus that Related Digital is building next door. Excess power will go to the Texas grid. NextEra expects about 8,400 construction jobs and 170 permanent jobs. The first phase should be operational in 2029, with full capacity by 2032. The project stems from a $350 billion 2025 US-South Korea deal. Korean companies will supply power generation equipment and help with engineering, construction, and operations.
Bloom Energy and NextEra Energy offer investors very different bets on clean power, according to a comparison of their FY 2025 results. Bloom, which makes on-site fuel cell systems for data centres, grew revenue 37.3% to nearly $2.0 billion. It posted a net loss of about $88.4 million and free cash flow of roughly $57.2 million. NextEra, which runs Florida Power & Light and a large renewables business, reported revenue of about $27.5 billion, up 11%. Net income was nearly $6.8 billion, and free cash flow was almost $3.2 billion. NextEra trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 19.1x against Bloom's 107.9x, and pays a 3.2% dividend. Bloom pays none.
Electricity demand over the next 20 years is expected to run six times higher than from 2005 to 2025, driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and electric vehicles. Nuclear power is set to help meet it. Small reactor developers Oklo and NuScale Power are risky bets. In the second quarter of 2026, Oklo made $1.4 million in revenue against $74.4 million in operating expenses; NuScale made $75,000 against just over $64 million. Neither pays a dividend. Dividend payers offer other routes. Constellation Energy, which runs the largest US nuclear fleet, yields about 0.5% and has power deals with Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon. NextEra Energy yields 3.2% and plans to buy Dominion Energy. Brookfield Renewable yields 5.3% and owns a stake in Westinghouse.
