A warning about social media
To provide both current and potential customers with more options for contacting NextEra Energy, we have established Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) accounts for many of our companies.

NextEra Energy has no control over those forums and, thus, is not responsible for any personal information you may choose to disclose through them. You should also be aware that NextEra Energy will never disclose, or ask for you to disclose, your non-public, personal information (such as your social security number, bank information, etc.) through these public forums.
NextEra Energy recommends that you not submit your non-public, personal information to NextEra Energy through these avenues. If there is a need for such information, NextEra Energy will provide you alternative and secure communication methods.
