NextEra Energy Files 8-K: €1.3B Debentures Issued

What Happened
NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE) filed a Form 8‑K on February 10, 2026 reporting that its wholly‑owned subsidiary, NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, Inc., sold €650 million of 2.989% Debentures due February 10, 2030 and €650 million of 3.624% Debentures due February 10, 2034 (total €1.3 billion). Both series of debentures are guaranteed by NextEra Energy, Inc. and were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (Registration Statement Nos. 333-278184, 333-278184-01 and 333-278184-02). The 8‑K also files related legal opinions from counsel.

Key Details

  • Issuer: NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, Inc., a wholly‑owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy, Inc.
  • Amounts: €650 million due 2030 (2.989% coupon) + €650 million due 2034 (3.624% coupon) = €1.3 billion total.
  • Maturities: February 10, 2030 and February 10, 2034.
  • Guarantee & filings: Both series guaranteed by NEE; related counsel opinions (Squire Patton Boggs and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius) were included as exhibits in the 8‑K.

Why It Matters
This transaction increases NextEra’s consolidated fixed‑rate debt by €1.3 billion with long‑dated maturities (2030 and 2034), which can affect the company’s interest expense profile and debt maturity schedule. The euro‑denominated nature of the debentures may also introduce currency exposure considerations for U.S. investors. The filing itself is procedural, reporting the sale and attaching required legal opinions rather than providing use‑of‑proceeds details.
