  1. NEXTERA ENERGY OPENING REMARKS

Thank you, Jessica, and good morning everyone.

2020 was a terrific year for both NextEra Energy and NextEra Energy Partners. NextEra Energy's performance was strong both financially and operationally. We had outstanding execution on our initiatives to continue to drive future growth across the company. Across all of our businesses,

we successfully executed on the largest capital program in our history, deploying more than $14 billion in 2020 as we lead America's clean energy transformation. By successfully executing on our plans, NextEra Energy extended its long track record of delivering value for shareholders with adjusted earnings per share of $2.31, up 10.5% from 2019.

A key element of our value proposition at NextEra Energy is a culture focused on delivering outstanding results for our shareholders. Over the past 10 years, we have delivered compound annual growth in adjusted EPS of 8%, which is the highest among all top 10 power companies, who have achieved, on average, compound annual growth of less than 3% over the same period. Amid this significant growth, the company has maintained one of the strongest balance sheets and credit positions in the industry.

In 2020, we delivered a total shareholder return of approximately 30%, significantly outperforming both the S&P 500 and the S&P 500 Utilities Index, and continuing to outperform both indices in terms of total shareholder return on a one-,three-,five-,seven-, and ten-year basis. Over the past 15 years, we have outperformed all of the other companies in the S&P 500 Utilities Index and 86% of the companies in the S&P 500, while more than tripling the average total shareholder return of both indices. While we are proud of our long-term track record of creating shareholder

value, we remain laser focused on the future and on delivering on our commitments.

NextEra Energy remains well positioned to capitalize on the disruptive forces reshaping our industry, which have expanded and accelerated over the past two years even beyond what we had anticipated. The combination of low-cost renewables with low-coststorage-in the form of batteries today and hydrogen in the longer term-has substantially increased the total addressable market for NextEra Energy. We now believe that a substantial, and economic, decarbonization of the electricity, transportation and industrial sectors is possible, which represents the potential investment opportunity of trillions of dollars in the coming decades. In the electricity sector, we expect that older and more inefficient generation will continue to be retired and replaced with cleaner and more affordable alternatives. In the transportation sector, we believe it will be increasingly economic to replace fossil-fueled vehicles with vehicles powered by fuel cells and batteries charged with renewable energy. And in the industrial sector, grey hydrogen and other high-carbon feedstocks can be replaced with green hydrogen. We believe these trends have already been put into motion driven by economics. In addition, we believe it is possible that the Biden administration, supported by a significant shift in
