Q&A

(1/11) Q&A: S-4 internal forecast versus public guidance
• 📊 Dunne said Energy Resources adjusted EBITDA in the S-4 is roughly $4 billion higher in 2032 than the December investor conference, driven by stronger renewables and storage origination performance.
• 🔢 Overall development expectations were not materially changed, though FPL large-load expectations rose from 6 GW to 8 GW.
• 📈 Public earnings expectations remain 8% plus through 2032 with a target of 8% plus through 2035, while management stands by the S-4 as its best current forecast.

(2/11) Q&A: Federal hub definitive agreement timing
• ✅ Ketchum characterized the broader hub strategy as ahead of schedule with the second half shaping up well despite deal timing not aligning to earnings calls.
• 🏛️ The 9.5 GW U.S.–Japan government hub discussions continue to progress, with delays attributed to two nation-states coordinating rather than fundamental issues.
• 📍 Hubs are being expanded from 30 to 40 and FPL still expects a large-load announcement by year-end after raising Florida expectations to 8 GW.

(3/11) Q&A: Florida data-center demand and announcement cadence
• 🏗️ Ketchum said Florida’s appeal reflects low-cost build execution as surplus generation elsewhere is exhausted and FERC show-cause dynamics push competition on cost.
• 📜 Bores added that May legislation provides certainty for multibillion-dollar investments and that a 90% baseload gas and nuclear fleet aids speed to market, supporting confidence in 12 GW of advanced discussions.
• 📢 Dunne said material developments will be disclosed when important rather than held for a quarterly call narrative.

(4/11) Q&A: Strategic footprint and vertical integration for data centers
• 🔗 Ketchum said strategy prioritizes vertical integration spanning renewables, storage, gas, potential nuclear, transmission, gas pipelines, retail, and power and gas marketing.
• ⛽ The Cemetery acquisition is cited as improving vertical integration as the third-largest gas marketer, aiding molecule-to-power customer solutions.
• 🚀 Management claims a first-mover advantage after 18 months preparing for bring-your-own-generation and expects these skills to help the Dominion merger on affordability and growth.

(5/11) Q&A: Recontracting premiums and project returns
• 💎 Ketchum said tight supply-demand is lifting recontracting pricing and terminal value across the renewables portfolio, with large embedded storage and hub option value.
• 📈 Returns are described as trending up, with scale hub solutions commanding a premium for comprehensive vertically integrated offerings.
• 🧾 Dunne confirmed recontracting and higher returns are reflected in the S-4 financials discussed earlier.

(6/11) Q&A: Dominion stakeholder feedback and close timing
• 🗣️ Ketchum said local leadership conversations are going well under a customer-first message centered on affordable scaled generation and reliability.
• 🏆 FPL’s bill, O&M, reliability, and storm-response track record is used as the tangible proof point while preserving Dominion’s local operating feel.
• 🗓️ Close timing remains second half of 2027, with openness to accelerate where possible; ultimate approval rests with the states.

(7/11) Q&A: Nuclear timeline and risk-sharing structure
• ⚛️ Ketchum said Duane Arnold recommissioning execution is going well and SMR OEM technical and commercial assessments are encouraging.
• 🛡️ Any new nuclear must use the right commercial structure so NextEra does not take customer cost-overrun risk.
• 🏦 An insurance-tower concept would allocate capped risk across developer, hyperscaler, government, OEM, and EPC wallets in a measured way for shareholders.

(8/11) Q&A: Gas pipeline development outlook
• 🛢️ Ketchum said a senior Energy Transfer executive now leads gas pipelines and substantial opportunities are already assembled, including Southeast expansions off MVP and hub-related laterals.
• 📐 Management is encouraged on future investment opportunity and has a renewed focus on gas pipeline development.
• 📈 Dunne added that electric and gas transmission growth is moving from mid-single digits into the 20s, reflecting optimism including MVP extensions.

(9/11) Q&A: Texas Permian egress and LNG interest
• 🚫 Ketchum said NextEra will not participate in LNG.
• 🎯 An executive added capabilities are built to serve Florida, future Dominion-state, hyperscaler, and national power customers rather than LNG.
• 🌱 The stated aim is providing solutions that grow the company and help customers.

(10/11) Q&A: Local community appetite for Florida data centers
• 📍 Bores stressed finding welcoming locations and process transparency, noting Project Tango in West Palm Beach was never in development expectations.
• 🤝 He said many Florida communities are interested and have good host locations for data centers.
• 📈 Confidence in community siting supports the raised 8 GW by 2032 development expectation.

(11/11) Q&A: Federal hub online dates versus agreement delays
• ⏱️ Bores said project online timing has not changed despite longer definitive-agreement negotiations.
• 🔧 Development work continues in the background while commercial terms with government entities are finalized.
• 📅 Expectations for when the projects will come online remain the same.
