public utility and renewable-energy holding company

NextEra Energy / Florida Power & Light

A public energy company behind Florida Power & Light and a large renewable-development business. NextEra earns more product credit than dirtier utilities for renewable scale, but FPL monopoly power, shareholder control, policy influence, and gas exposure keep it low.

Why this matters: NextEra shows that renewable buildout can coexist with ordinary investor-owned utility power.
