NextEra Energy Resources

Meeting the energy demand will be a monumental undertaking, requiring immense levels of investment, which underscores the scale and necessity of the transformation underway. Our latest blog explores the strategies and investments needed to advance a resilient energy transition. Key takeaways include: >> A growing number of companies are balancing dual energy goals: securing the energy needed to grow and scale operations while at the same time achieving ambitious carbon reduction targets within aggressive timeframes. >> All sectors of the economy will need to make critical investments to develop and implement scalable, cost-efficient solutions, expand access to renewables and make the needed grid enhancements. >> The urgency of expanding and diversifying resources available on the grid is growing and mobilizing the financing for these initiatives will be a leading priority for many in the decades ahead.

There's a reason why the theme 'It's Time' feels so fitting at this year's Climate Week in NYC. The challenges we face as part of the energy transition have been building for years, and now they've reached a point of urgency. But here's the good news: this urgency is driven, in part, by growth — growth that fuels economic development and global competitiveness as new technologies are developed, new manufacturing facilities are built and industries are electrified. This growth gives us a powerful incentive to tackle these challenges head-on, right now. This pivotal moment demands creative solutions and close collaboration across the business sector and beyond. In the U.S. alone, power demand is expected to grow by 38% over the next 20 years. Renewables and energy storage offer cost-effective, quick-to-market solutions, but the need for investment in grid infrastructure, especially transmission, has never been greater. It was inspiring to engage with fellow leaders at Edison Electric Institute, McKinsey & Company, and #ClimateWeekNYC yesterday, discussing how to tackle challenges and seize opportunities to reduce carbon emissions. Together, we are building on the progress made to ensure the energy transition is not only ambitious but also actionable.

Sponsoring Day of Caring is just one of the many ways that NextEra Energy Resources partners with Granite United Way to make a significant impact in our community! NextEra is dedicated to corporate social responsibility and their employees are always ready to roll up their sleeves to volunteer.

Today, we announced our latest collaboration with Google and Omaha Public Power District – NextEra Energy Resources' Pierce County Energy Center. This center will be a 420-MW solar project and 170-MW/4-hour-duration battery storage energy system that will support Google’s carbon-free energy goals and provide Nebraskans with access to clean, reliable and low-cost energy. NextEra Energy Resources has invested more than $820 million in Nebraska since 2013. And more than that, University of Nebraska-Lincoln estimates the project will also create more than 540 jobs during construction and $5.7 million in annual economic activity during the project’s lifespan. Collaborations like this, which bring together the developer, the utility and the end user, are key to addressing grid reliability and capacity challenges as well as economic investment in communities across the United States. #Solarenergy #batterystorage #collaboration

At NextEra Energy Resources, innovation and problem solving drive everything we do. Our vision is to stay at the forefront of transformative technologies and continue leading the energy industry forward. Thanks in part to a grant from the DOE Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, we're excited to explore long-duration battery storage systems that could redefine how we store and deliver clean energy. By testing these systems at our solar and wind sites in Wisconsin, North Dakota and Oregon, we aim to push the boundaries of what's possible for the future of energy. This pilot reflects our commitment to discovering breakthrough technologies that meet today’s needs while accelerating tomorrow's transition. Key questions guide us: Will these innovations perform as well in the field as they have in the lab? And can they be efficient and cost-effective solutions for the energy markets of the future? We're dedicated to finding bold solutions that will shape the future of clean energy.

Thank you to McKinsey Global Institute and Mekala Krishnan for a stimulating conversation on the tremendous momentum in demand we are experiencing in the energy sector. As we work to transform the energy landscape, we’ve always known that dealing with the “hard stuff” – like building more transmission and rethinking how we run our grids – would be essential. The exciting news is that the rapid load growth we’re seeing now adds urgency to solving these critical issues. Tackling them today will not only strengthen America’s economy and global competitiveness but also ensure a more resilient, sustainable future. Now is the time to be ambitious and forward-thinking about the investments we make in our grid infrastructure. With urgency comes opportunity. These challenges create unique opportunities to take the bold steps we need for tomorrow’s energy future. 

We are truly pleased to be working with AdventHealth to deliver on one of the largest renewable energy commitments ever made in the healthcare industry. The Stafford Solar project, currently being constructed in Texas, will supply AdventHealth with the equivalent of approximately 60-70% of its total electricity needs across its system. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in the healthcare sector’s energy transition and showcases our united dedication to fostering a cleaner and healthier future. NextEra Energy Resources looks forward to continuing to work with AdventHealth. #Collaboration #Healthcare #CleanEnergy

As electricity demand continues to surge, it's crucial for businesses to stay informed about the evolving energy landscape.

Twenty years ago, NextEra Energy Resources set out with a bold vision in North Dakota—build the state’s first wind farm. Fast forward to today and we now operate 16 wind farms and have invested $3.8 billion into this incredible community! Within the last 20 years, our collaboration with the state has resulted in an annual payroll of $24 million, fueling local economies, supporting education, building infrastructure and creating jobs that allow people to thrive in their home state. This legacy wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated group of community leaders who believed in the transformative power of wind energy. Their curiosity, determination and warm welcome paved the way for amazing growth for renewable energy in North Dakota. The story of North Dakota’s renewable energy footprint is one of collaboration, innovation, community and shared vision. I'm thrilled to share a short documentary that offers a glimpse into these meaningful relationships and the pioneering spirit in North Dakota. #RenewableEnergy #WindEnergy #CommunityEngagement

Over the past several weeks I’ve had the opportunity to meet with our ~200 talented summer interns embedded within our business units across the company. Our 2024 intern class is an impressive group, featuring highly engaged undergraduate students, seasoned MBAs from top business schools, and technical students stationed at our wind and solar sites. Conversations have been far-ranging, covering our company’s strategy, career advice, and details about my own career path. I’ve been truly inspired by the curiosity and fresh perspectives they bring to our team. Reflecting on my own journey, a couple of pieces of advice I shared: ✋ raise your hand for the tough assignments ❓ ask a lot of questions 🤝 invest time in building relationships, and 🙌 have fun! I want to express my gratitude to this amazing group of interns for choosing NextEra Energy, Inc. as part of their journey. #FutureGeneration #CleanEnergy
