"NextEra Energy delivered strong second-quarter results and remains on track to meet its objectives for the year," said Jim Robo, chairman and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy. "We grew adjusted earnings per share by approximately 13 percent against the prior-year comparable quarter, reflecting
excellent performance at both Florida Power & Light Company and NextEra Energy Resources. At FPL, our major capital initiatives remain on schedule as we continue to execute one of the largest solar expansions ever in the U.S. NextEra Energy Resources continues to capitalize on what we believe is the best renewables development environment in our history with terrific origination success, adding
approximately 1,620 megawatts of renewables projects to our backlog, including 535 megawatts of additional wind repowering opportunities and 90 megawatts of battery storage projects. During the
quarter, we also announced proposed transactions that would expand NextEra Energys regulated business operations through the acquisition of Gulf Power, Florida City Gas and ownership stakes in two natural gas power plants from Southern Company. These assets are an excellent complement to our existing operations and will allow us to extend our best-in-class value proposition to additional Florida
customers. We continue to believe that NextEra Energy has excellent prospects for growth and one of the strongest balance sheets in the sector. We are well-positioned to meet our full-year financial
expectations, and I will be disappointed if we are not able to deliver financial results at or near the top of
our 6 to 8 percent adjusted earnings per share compound annual growth rate range through 2021, plus the expected accretion in 2020 and 2021 from the announced acquisitions of $0.15 and $0.20,
respectively, following the assumed closing of the transactions."
