NextEra Energy added eight new risk factors in 2025, including heightened exposure to regulatory and political factors affecting both the parent company and Florida Power & Light, as well as risks related to defaults in project-specific limited-recourse financing agreements. The 14 substantively modified risks indicate increased emphasis on compliance violations, operational challenges, and regulatory enforcement, suggesting NextEra is addressing evolving legal and operational vulnerabilities. With no removed risks and 36 unchanged factors, the overall risk profile expanded rather than shifted, reflecting an increasingly complex regulatory and operational landscape.
