Summary
This 8-K filing from NextEra Energy Inc. (formerly FPL Group, Inc.) on October 27, 2009, primarily serves to furnish a press release announcing the company's third quarter 2009 earnings. Investors should review the attached press release (Exhibit 99) for detailed financial and operational performance metrics for both FPL Group, Inc. and its subsidiary Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) for the period ending September 30, 2009. The core of this filing is the disclosure of the company's quarterly results. While the 8-K itself does not contain the earnings data, it directs investors to the accompanying press release.
