Mergers and acquisitions requests

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

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:

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]

Good day all. I wanted to bring this back and up flag our request to condense and improve this section. Happy to discuss further. NextEraMatt (talk) 15:21, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Litigation request

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

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

Please let me know what you think. NextEraMatt (talk) 15:22, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This does several things, including refocusing the introduction to be about NextEra Energy instead of being 50% about FPL, updates citations (some named references like 10K are already used in the live article), and updates the information on generation capacity to be current. Please let me know what you think. NextEraMatt (talk) 15:10, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: There's a lot of good information that you took out. I've gone ahead and edited the intro, as well as updated information to be current. Meepmeepyeet (talk) 18:43, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! However, some of the section is still inaccurate. For example, Gulf Power is no longer an independent business and has been folded into Florida Power & Light and NextEra Energy Partners (no longer operating under that name but rather XPLR Infrastructure) is not a subsidiary but rather a limited partnership (I'm working to change that page info as well.) Would love to just clarify those issues for now. NextEraMatt (talk) 11:58, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your company's 10-K indicates that XPLR is a publicly traded subsidiary, as NextEra owns more than 50% of the votes available for XPLR through various subsidiaries (I may be misreading the filing, please feel free to ping and correct me if this is the case). I've corrected some of the other things that you noted. Please ping me if other changes are needed concerning this specific COI edit. Meepmeepyeet (talk) 21:10, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
