Forward guidance

We remain confident in our long-term ability to grow NEE per share 5–7% given our growth strategy, expectations of reasonable regulatory outcomes, and planned capital investment in infrastructure upgrades, innovation and new business. Our targeted capital investment for the 5-year period through fiscal 2026 remains $3.1 billion, and this level of investments is anticipated to drive 7–8% rate base growth for our utilities. Expected capital expenditures for fiscal 2022 remain $540 million. We reaffirm our fiscal 2022 NEE guidance range of $3.75 – $3.95 per share.
