NextEra Energy (NEE) Misses Q4 Earnings and Revenues
Read MoreHide Full Article
Juno Beach, FL-based NextEra Energy Inc. (NEE - Free Report) is a public utility holding company engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electric energy.
To provide reliable services to its customers, NextEra Energy continues to expand its scale of operations and utilize modern technologies, primarily at its FPL utility. The company’s focus on expanding its renewable fleet is impressive and should help it meet regulatory mandates on carbon emission.
However, stringent regulations, volatile commodity prices, erratic weather pattern and operational hazards pose major threats to the company.
