Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies Rate Regulation – In March 2024, the FPSC issued a supplemental final order regarding FPL's 2021 rate agreement. The order affirmed the FPSC's prior approval of the 2021 rate agreement and is intended to further document, as requested by the Florida Supreme Court, how the evidence presented led to and supports the FPSC's decision to approve FPL's 2021 rate agreement. In April 2024, Florida Rising, Inc., Environmental Confederation of Southwest Florida, Inc. and League of United Latin American Citizens of Florida (collectively, the appellants) submitted a notice of appeal to the Florida Supreme Court regarding the FPSC's supplemental final order. The Florida Supreme Court issued an order granting FPL's motion to expedite the schedule and briefing has concluded. In May 2024, the appellants requested oral argument, and that request remains pending before the court. In April 2024, the FPSC approved FPL’s March 2024 request for a mid-course correction to reduce the 2024 fuel cost recovery factors and refund customers approximately $662 million over eight months effective May 2024. Restricted Cash – At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, NEE had approximately $551 million ($111 million for FPL) and $730 million ($15 million for FPL), respectively, of restricted cash, which is included in current other assets on NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash is primarily related to debt service payments and margin cash collateral requirements at NEER and bond proceeds held for construction at FPL. In addition, where offsetting positions exist, restricted cash related to margin cash collateral of $115 million is netted against derivative assets and $353 million is netted against derivative liabilities at June 30, 2024 and $194 million is netted against derivative assets and $815 million is netted against derivative liabilities at December 31, 2023.

NEER expects to close the sale by the end of the third quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and the receipt of regulatory approvals, for cash proceeds of approximately $900 million, subject to closing adjustments. In June 2023, subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources sold to a NEP subsidiary their 100% ownership interests in five wind generation facilities and three solar generation facilities located in geographically diverse locations throughout the U.S. with a total generating capacity of 688 MW for cash proceeds of approximately $566 million, plus working capital of $32 million.
