FPL serves approximately 4.6 million customer accounts in Florida and is a leading employer in the state with approximately 10,000 employees. Most Affordable Electric Service in Florida Because we have invested in smart, cost- efficient technologies and worked hard to keep operating costs down, FPL’s typical residential customer bills continued to be the lowest of the state’s 55 electric utilities in 2012, and 26 percent lower than the latest national average. Our business customers also had lower-than-average bills. Since 2006, FPL’s typical residential customer bill has decreased 13 percent as a result of investments in more efficient power generation, the beneficial impact of lower fuel prices, and the company’s strong cost controls. We have improved the fuel efficiency of FPL’s fossil power plant fleet by 20 percent since 2001. Our fossil fleet uses an average of 7,669 British Thermal Units (BTUs) of heat from fuel to produce one kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity, or approximately 24 percent less than the fossil industry average of 10,040 BTUs in 2011, the latest data available. Since 2001 alone, FPL’s investments in making its power plants more efficient have saved its customers an estimated $6 billion in fuel costs.The Best Reliability in the State FPL continued to deliver reliable service to its 4.6 million customers in 2012, achieving its best-ever overall reliability performance as measured by the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) – which measures the average time a customer is without power. In addition, FPL’s reliability was the best among Florida investor-owned utilities during the five years ended in 2012. One of the Cleanest Utilities FPL uses a diverse mix of fuels at its power plants to generate reliable electricity and has one of the lowest emissions profiles among U.S. utilities. In 2012, 78 percent of the electricity generated by FPL was produced from clean natural gas. Nuclear power, which produces no greenhouse gas emissions, was responsible for another 16 percent of power production. FPL also operates three commercial-scale solar generation facilities in the Sunshine State.A Leader in Demand-Side Management Since FPL launched its first demand-side management (DSM) program in 1981, the company has avoided the need to build 14 medium-sized power plants, more than all but one other utility in the country.

Through 2012 the company has: » Performed over 3 million residential home energy surveys; » Enrolled more than 800,000 residential customers in its load-management program, On Call®; » Conducted 178,000 business energy evaluations; » Provided 1.5 million rebates for high-efficiency air-conditioning systems; and » Installed upgraded lighting systems for over 20,000 business customers and high-efficiency air-conditioning systems for nearly 17,000 business customers. In 2011, the most recent year for which data are available, FPL avoided more than four times the electricity through energy efficiency than would be expected for a utility its size. That year, FPL accounted for 2 percent of the country’s peak electricity demand, yet was responsible for 9 percent of the electric demand avoided through energy efficiency. Delivering Modernized Power PlantsFPL’s investments in recent years to modernize its power plant fleet - phasing out older, oil-fired units with cleaner, more efficient natural gas-fired generating capacity - are helping keep FPL’s typical customer bill the lowest in the state. FPL is currently investing to modernize three old, oil and gas-fired power plants into high-efficiency natural gas energy centers that will be approximately 33 percent more efficient and 90 percent cleaner than the facilities they replace. The three new plants being built are projected to effectively pay for themselves over their operational lifetimes with more than $1 billion in net customer savings compared with any other available generation options to meet future needs. The net customer savings reflect the expected savings from the plants’ advanced fuel efficiency. Over the past decade, FPL has reduced its use of oil by 98 percent by investing in new, highly efficient power plants that use clean, U.S.-produced natural gas as a fuel to produce electricity. In 2001, FPL used more than 40 million barrels of imported oil to power customers; in 2012, the company used less than one million barrels.Cape Canaveral and Riviera Beach - The iconic 1960s-era stacks at the company’s Cape Canaveral power plant in Cocoa, Fla., were taken down in August 2010, and FPL’s Riviera Beach power plant was demolished in June 2011. These demolitions cleared the way for construction of FPL’s Cape Canaveral Next Generation Clean Energy Center, which was commissioned in late FPL’s Typical Residential Customer Bill Is 26 Percent Below the National Average 26%LessFPL2Fla.

When completed, this combined investment of more than $2 billion will produce enough power for approximately 500,000 homes and businesses, using about 33 percent less fuel per megawatt of power generated. Port Everglades – FPL also has been moving forward in modernizing its 1960s-era Port Everglades power plant in Broward County into a high-efficiency, natural gas-fired energy center. The plant’s four 350-foot stacks are scheduled to be demolished in the summer of 2013, and the plant is expected to be in service by June 2016. Once operational, the new energy center is expected to produce about 1,280 MW of power, which is enough electricity for about 260,000 FPL customers. Major technological advances in fuel efficiency, environmental performance and reliability will benefit customers for decades.Delivering Additional Nuclear Power CapacityFPL in 2013 completed a multi-billion dollar upgrade of its St. Lucie and Turkey Point nuclear plants to expand their combined generating capacity by more than 500 MW, which is the equivalent of building a new medium-sized power plant. Over the operating lifetime of this added capacity, FPL customers are expected to save billions of dollars in fossil fuel costs. In addition, FPL is also pursuing the licenses for two new nuclear units at the existing Turkey Point site. FPL projects these units would save customers approximately $58 billion in fossil fuel costs over their lifetimes.Investing in the Smart Grid FPL’s smart grid investments include the installation of more than 10,000 intelligent devices on the electric grid, enhancements to centers that monitor the performance of the grid, and the installation of about 4.5 million smart meters for residential and business customers. These advanced technologies are already enabling important customer benefits, while laying the foundation for additional benefits in the future. A Leading “Green” Vehicle FleetFPL also has one of the largest “green” vehicle fleets in the nation. It was the first company in the United States to put a medium-duty hybrid bucket truck into service in 2006. All told, it has nearly 1,750 biodiesel-powered vehicles and more than 500 hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles on the road.FPL Average Monthly Energy Usage Per Customer (kWh) Year Residential Commercial Industrial2012 1,099 7,362 28,821 2011 1,131 7,390 29,5912010 1,173 7,372 29,269FPL All-Time Peak Customer Demand Season Date MWSummer Aug. 17, 2005 22,361Winter Jan. 11, 2010 24,346FPL Total Installed CapacityMegawatts17,6412002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 201219,056 18,94020,777 20,98122,08724,53023,72224,460 24,05722,135 profile 5As North America’s leading producer of renewable energy from the wind and the sun, NextEra Energy Resources had a portfolio of facilities with 18,122 MW of generating capacity as of Dec. 31, 2012.
