Forward guidance

NextEra Energy Partners expects a Dec. 31, 2021, run rate for adjusted EBITDA in the upper end of its previously announced range of $1.44 billion to $1.62 billion and CAFD in the upper end of its previously announced range of $600 million to $680 million, reflecting calendar year 2022 expectations for the portfolio at year-end 2021. From a base of its fourth-quarter 2020 distribution per common unit at an annualized rate of $2.46 per common unit, NextEra Energy Partners continues to expect 12% to 15% per year growth in limited partner distributions as being a reasonable range of expectations through at least 2024. NextEra Energy Partners expects the annualized rate of the fourth-quarter 2021 distribution, which is payable in February 2022, to be in a range of $2.76 to $2.83 per common unit.

Tailwinds

  • Adjusted EBITDA to be in the upper end of its previously announced range of $1.44 billion to $1.62 billion.
  • CAFD to be in the upper end of its previously announced range of $600 million to $680 million.
  • Expects 12% to 15% per year growth in limited partner distributions as being a reasonable range of expectations through at least 2024.
  • Expects the annualized rate of the fourth-quarter 2021 distribution, which is payable in February 2022, to be in a range of $2.76 to $2.83 per common unit.
  • Remains well-positioned to achieve its best-in-class long-term distribution growth objectives

Headwinds

  • Expectations are subject to the usual caveats.
  • Expectations include the impact of incentive distribution rights fees, as these fees are treated as an operating expense.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD, limited partner distribution and other expectations assume, among other things, normal weather and operating conditions.
  • Expectations assume public policy support for wind and solar development and construction.
  • Expectations assume market demand and transmission expansion support for wind and solar development; market demand for pipeline capacity; and access to capital at reasonable cost and terms.
