John Ketchum, Chairman and CEO of NextEra Energy, opened the 2026 annual meeting, introduced board members and officers, and confirmed the presence of independent auditors Deloitte & Touche LLP. He outlined the agenda, which included the election of directors, ratification of the auditor, an advisory vote on executive compensation, and two shareholder proposals. Trillium Asset Management's Andrea Ranger presented a proposal asking NextEra to report on aligning operations with the Paris Agreement, citing the proposed Dominion Energy acquisition and climate risks. Ketchum declared the proposal properly presented. A second proposal from Be Research was not presented, so no votes were cast. Ketchum announced preliminary results: all director nominees received at least 91% of votes, Deloitte was ratified with 93%, executive compensation was approved with 88%, and the Paris Agreement proposal received nearly 35% but was not approved. He adjourned the meeting.
