Remove Environmental issues heading

[edit]

Hello! Following up here with a new request from the above.

I propose removing the Environmental issues subheading and moving the content in it, In 2007, Florida's Public Service Commission rejected a plan by NextEra Energy to build a coal-burning power plant on 5,000 acres (20 km2) in Moore Haven, Florida, near the Everglades National Park. The National Park Service raised concerns that the coal plant would contaminate Lake Okeechobee with mercury and harm the Everglades. to Corporate history, in accordance with WP:NOCRIT. Please let me know what you think! NextEraMatt (talk) 10:04, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would support this change, as there aren't really any environmental issues as the plant was never build and so there were no environmental problems. Synonimany (talk) 13:33, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Synonimany since you agreed with this edit would you be willing to make this edit? NextEraMatt (talk) 12:45, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. Synonimany (talk) 13:35, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I have gone ahead and made this change. NextEraMatt (talk) 14:48, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you implement another request again, make sure to copy the sources with the text as there would be problems with WP:V. I've done that for you this time. I recommend to use the source editor as it's easier to copy the sources directly with the text. Synonimany (talk) 15:00, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mergers and acquisitions requests

[edit]

Hi editors, I have several requests for the Mergers and acquisitions section:


Remove the first sentence of the section, as it repeats information in the corporate history section and is redundant.

Significantly reduce the remaining paragraphs to cut unsupported information and otherwise avoid placing undue weight on deals that did not happen. It is strange to me that so much space would be devoted to events that did not come to pass. This is what I propose:

Extended content
−
On December 4, 2014, NextEra Energy announced its plans to purchase [[Hawaiian Electric Industries]] for $4.3 billion. However, in July 2016, [[Hawaii]]'s Public Utilities Commission rejected the offer in a 2-0 vote over doubts of NextEra Energy's commitment to the state's renewable energy goal, which terminated the merger agreement. The proposed merger had support from over 25 local groups, including the [[Hawaii]] State [[AFL–CIO]] and the [[Hawaii]] [[Chamber of Commerce]]. NextEra Energy and [[Energy Future Holdings]], parent company of [[Texas]]-based utility [[Oncor Electric Delivery]], reached a $18.7 billion merger agreement on July 29, 2016, but the agreement was terminated in July 2017 after the Texas Public Utility Commission rejected the offer over disagreement on the control of Oncor's board of directors. Two other competing bids were submitted in July 2017 for purchasing Oncor, including a $17.5 billion bid from [[Berkshire Hathaway Energy]] and a $18.5 billion bid from [[Elliott Management Corporation]]. In January 2018, NextEra Energy expressed interest with members of the [[South Carolina Senate]] over a possible purchase of [[SCANA]] and [[Santee Cooper]]. [[Dominion Energy]] offered $14.6 billion to buy SCANA, but South Carolina lawmakers harshly criticized the proposal over a lack of future taxpayer relief. In February 2018, NextEra Energy floated a $15.9 billion proposal to buy Santee Cooper and briefed South Carolina lawmakers. In May 2018, NextEra Energy announced that it planned to buy [[Gulf Power Company]], the largest electricity producer in Northwest Florida, from [[Southern Company]] in a $6.4 billion deal, pending approval from regulators. The acquisition, which expanded NextEra Energy's combined residential customer base in Florida to approximately 51 percent of the state's population and also included Florida City Gas, was completed on January 1, 2019.
+
The 2010s saw additional merger and acquisition attempts by NEE, including with [[Hawaiian Electric Industries]], [[Oncor Electric Delivery]], [[SCANA]], [[Santee Cooper]], and [[Gulf Power Company]]. Of these, only the Gulf Power acquisition was successful. The acquisition was completed in January 2019 and NEE merged Gulf Power with FPL in January 2022. As part of the deal, NEE also acquired Plant Oleander and a 65 percent stake in the Stanton Energy Center natural gas power plants.

This improves citations, removes unsourced information, trims the content significantly and better summarizes it according to what the sources say, and generally makes the section a more appropriate length. NextEraMatt (talk) 17:47, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move the content that remains from the above changes to the end of the Corporate history section.

Please let me know what you think! NextEraMatt (talk) 17:47, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Litigation request

[edit]

Hi editors, for this request I propose moving the content under the Litigation heading to the appropriate places in the Corporate history section and removing the Litigation heading because:

  • Segregating that text under that heading places undue weight on it and create a WP:STRUCTURE problem
  • Having a Litigation section invites the same kind of editing that WP:NOCRIT seeks to address

Introduction

[edit]

Hi editors, for this request I propose making the following changes to the introduction:
−
'''NextEra Energy, Inc.''' is an American energy company with about 58 [[Watt#Gigawatt|GW]] of generating capacity (24 GW of which were from fossil fuel sources), revenues of over $18 billion in 2020, and about 14,900 employees throughout the [[US]] and [[Canada]]. It is the world's largest electric utility holding company by market capitalization, with a valuation of over $170 billion as of Oct 2024. Its subsidiaries include [[Florida Power & Light]] (FPL), [[NextEra Energy Resources]] (NEER), [[NextEra Energy Partners]], [[Gulf Power Company]], and NextEra Energy Services. FPL, the largest of the subsidiaries, delivers rate-regulated electricity to approximately 5 million customer accounts, or an estimated 10 million people, across nearly half of [[Florida]] and is the third largest electric utility company in the United States. NEER, together with its affiliated entities, is the world's largest generator of renewable energy from wind and solar. In addition to wind and solar, NextEra Energy Resources owns and operates generating plants powered by natural gas, nuclear energy, and oil. As of 2020, approximately 41% of NextEra Energy's generating capacity was from fossil fuels and non-renewables. The company ranked 167th on the 2018 [[Fortune 500]] of the largest United States corporations by revenue.
