Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes NEE's effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately 16.2% and 20.9%, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately 16.9% and (18.3)%, respectively. NEE's effective income tax rate is based on the composition of pretax income or loss, and, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily reflects the impact on pre-tax income (income before income taxes) of favorable changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments, unfavorable changes in the fair value of commodity derivatives and equity securities held in NEER's nuclear decommissioning funds, as well as the first quarter of 2022 impairment charge related to the investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline (see Note 3 – Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements). A reconciliation between the effective income tax rates and the applicable statutory rate is as follows:

NEE recognizes PTCs as wind and solar energy is generated and sold based on a per kWh rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes, which may differ significantly from amounts computed, on a quarterly basis, using an overall effective income tax rate anticipated for the full year. NEE uses this method of recognizing PTCs for specific reasons, including that PTCs are an integral part of the expected value of most wind and some solar projects and a fundamental component of such wind and solar projects' results of operations. PTCs, as well as ITCs, can significantly affect NEE's effective income tax rate depending on the amount of pretax income or loss. The amount of PTCs recognized can be significantly affected by wind and solar generation and by the roll off of PTCs after ten years of production absent a retrofitting of the wind and solar projects.
