Disclosure by NextEra Energy, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148; or &#147;NextEra Energy&#148;) Regarding Director Kirk Hachigian </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">NextEra Energy is filing this
supplemental disclosure to page 45 of its definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March&nbsp;31, 2021. As demonstrated below, the Company believes that shareholders should vote &#147;For&#148; the election of
Mr.&nbsp;Hachigian as a Director at NextEra Energy&#146;s 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May&nbsp;20, 2021. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">In 2020, a law firm in which the
brother of Mr.&nbsp;Kirk&nbsp;S. Hachigian is a partner received from a subsidiary of the Company a payment of $577,000 for legal services rendered in connection with an acquisition completed by the Company&#146;s subsidiary, for services rendered
by the law firm to the acquisition target prior to the closing of the acquisition.&nbsp;NextEra Energy believes that the payment represented less than 1% of the law firm&#146;s total revenues for 2020. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The seller engaged the law firm prior to any agreement being reached between the seller and the Company&#146;s subsidiary regarding the acquisition, and without any
input from the Company or any of its affiliates, including Mr.&nbsp;Hachigian. The payment was made by the Company&#146;s subsidiary as part of a customary agreement for an acquiring company to pay certain transaction expenses of the seller.
Mr.&nbsp;Hachigian&#146;s brother did not work on the transaction and all of the services were rendered to the seller prior to the time of the acquisition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Neither
the brother nor the law firm has worked on any matter for NextEra Energy or any of its subsidiaries since the acquisition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">NextEra Energy strongly believes that
any vote recommendation against the election of Mr.&nbsp;Hachigian is not appropriate in light of the facts set forth above. We urge shareholders to follow the unanimous recommendation of the Board and vote to approve Mr.&nbsp;Hachigian&#146;s
election as a Director. </P>
