Michael Dunne, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Finance at NextEra Energy, participated in the company’s second quarter 2026 earnings call, where he discussed the company’s financial outlook and strategic initiatives. He stated that NextEra expects to grow adjusted earnings per share at a compound annual growth rate of 8% or more through 2032, with the same target for 2033 through 2035, based on a 2025 base. He also noted that the company’s adjusted EBITDA at Energy Resources is projected to be roughly $4 billion higher in 2032 than previously presented at the December investor conference, attributing the increase to performance in originations. During the call, he addressed progress on a 9.5-gigawatt project involving the U.S. and Japanese governments, describing it as continuing to advance, while cautioning that timelines involving two large nation-states can be unpredictable. At the 2025 Investor Day, Dunne reiterated the company’s commitment to maintaining an 18% funds-from-operations to total debt ratio through 2032, and stated that NextEra would meet both Moody’s new credit metrics—17% cash flow from operations to total debt and 14% consolidated cash flow from operations to total debt—without deviation. He also discussed the company’s financial visibility, citing more than a dozen growth avenues and noting that most cash flows come from regulated and long-term contracted investments. In the fourth quarter 2025 earnings call, he commented on the natural gas pipeline segment, indicating that while a divestment at Explorer reduced EBITDA in 2026, pipelines would remain a critical part of the company’s growth trajectory in the coming years.
