NextEra Energy runs Florida's biggest regulated electric utility and builds wind, solar, and battery projects across North America, selling power under long-term contracts. Think of it as a hybrid: a stable local power company plus a renewable energy developer
Money comes from two streams: regulated Florida electricity sales (steady, rate-approved) and contracted clean-energy projects with recurring revenue. Gross margin is high at 71.81%, and net margin sits at 32.04%, showing strong profitability.
Regulated utility territory in Florida is a legal barrier—competitors like Duke Energy can't enter that market. But the renewable development side faces intense competition from Brookfield Renewable and Clearway Energy, which is eroding pricing power. moat_lev
