Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes NEE's effective income tax rate is based on the composition of pretax income or loss, which, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflects the impact from an impairment charge related to the investment in XPLR (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 repowering of the wind and solar projects. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law which, among other things, modified tax legislation affecting clean energy tax credits, bonus depreciation rules, and tax treatment of research and development expenses and interest deductions. Specifically, the OBBBA provides for 100% bonus depreciation with no phase-out for unregulated property acquired after January 19, 2025, 100% expensing with no phase-out of domestic research and development expenses incurred in taxable years beginning after 2024, and the use of earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), rather than earnings before income taxes (EBIT), with no phase-out for purposes of calculating the interest limitation for taxable years beginning after 2024. The OBBBA did not change the federal corporate income tax rate and did not require remeasurement of deferred tax assets or liabilities. Related to income taxes, NEE determined that the OBBBA had no impact to NEE's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
