In the news
In April 2009, BusinessWeek magazine reported the company (at the time FPL Group) was one of 25 US companies that paid the least US taxes. FPL Group paid a 1.3 percent annual tax rate, far less than the standard 35 percent corporate rate, based on an analysis of the company's financial figures for 2005–2008. On more than $7 billion in company earnings during this four-year period, FPL Group paid $88 million in taxes. The company was able to take advantage of certain tax breaks for developing alternative energy. A company spokesperson said the company is merely taking advantage of incentives to develop renewable resources.[6]
In 2015, NextEra donated $1 million to a Super PAC supporting Jeb Bush's presidential candidacy.[7]
