2.440% DEBENTURES, SERIES DUE JANUARY 15, 2032
NEXTERA ENERGY CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida (herein referred to as the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture (as defined below)), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
, or registered assigns, the principal sum of ____________________ Dollars on January 15, 2032 (the “Stated Maturity Date”).  The Company further promises to pay interest on the principal sum of this 2.440% Debenture, Series due January 15, 2032 (this “Security”) to the registered Holder hereof at the rate of 2.440% per annum, in like coin or currency, semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”) until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for, such interest payments to commence on July 15, 2022.  Each interest payment shall include interest accrued from the most-recently preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has either been paid or duly provided for (except that (i) the interest payment which is due on July 15, 2022 shall include interest that has accrued from December 13, 2021, and (ii) if this Security is authenticated during the period that (A) follows any particular Regular Record Date (as defined below) but (B) precedes the next occurring Interest Payment Date, then the registered Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive any interest payment with respect to this Security on such next occurring Interest Payment Date).  No interest will accrue on the Securities of this series with respect to the day on which the Securities of this series mature.  In the event that an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on an Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture referred to on the reverse of this Security (the “Indenture”), be payable to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the

Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Person who is the Holder of this Security on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, notice of which shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

The amount of interest payable on this Security will be computed on the basis of a 360day year consisting of twelve 30day months (and for any period shorter than a full semi-annual period, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during such period using 30day calendar months).
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse of this Security, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF DEBENTURE]
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture (For Unsecured Debt Securities), dated as of June 1, 1999 (herein, together with any amendments thereto, called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, including the Board Resolutions and Officer’s Certificate filed with the Trustee on December 13, 2021 creating the series designated on the face hereof (herein called the “Officer’s Certificate”), for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of this series and of the terms upon which the Securities of this series are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof.
Securities of this series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company in whole at any time, or in part from time to time (each a “Redemption Date”), upon notice (the “Redemption Notice”) which is required by the Indenture to be mailed at least thirty (30) days but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date, at the applicable price (each a “Redemption Price”) described below; provided, however, that the Company has reserved the right, without any consent, vote or other action by Holders of the Securities of this series, or of any other series of Securities issued after December 1, 2021, to amend the Indenture to provide that the Redemption Notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date. 
Prior to October 15, 2031 (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Securities of this series at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Securities of this series matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points
less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and
(2)100% of the principal amount of the Security of this series to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Securities of this series, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
    A - 4    
			
	DB1/ 126114808.2













The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading).  In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable:
(1)the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or
(2)if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or
(3)if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life.
For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.
If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date.  If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date.  If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time.  In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
    A - 5    
			
	DB1/ 126114808.2













The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the applicable Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to determine, or to verify the Company’s calculations of, the applicable Redemption Price.
If at the time the Redemption Notice is given, the redemption moneys are not on deposit with the Trustee, then, if such notice so provides, the redemption shall be subject to the receipt of the redemption moneys on or before the Redemption Date and such Redemption Notice shall be of no force or effect unless such moneys are received.
Upon payment of the applicable Redemption Price as described herein, on and after the applicable Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Securities of this series or portions thereof called for redemption.
The Securities of this series will be absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, by NextEra Energy, Inc., as Guarantor (the “Guarantor”), pursuant to a Guarantee Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1999, between the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon (as Guarantee Trustee) (the “Guarantee Agreement”).  The following shall constitute “Guarantor Events” with respect to the Securities of this series:
(A)the failure of the Guarantee Agreement to be in full force and effect;
(B)the entry by a court having jurisdiction with respect to the Guarantor of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Guarantor bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition by one or more entities other than the Guarantor seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Guarantor under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official for the Guarantor or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order shall have remained unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days; or
(C)the commencement by the Guarantor of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding seeking for the Guarantor to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Guarantor to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of itself in a case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Guarantor, or the filing by the Guarantor of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or the consent by the Guarantor to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the 
    A - 6    
			
	DB1/ 126114808.2













Guarantor or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Guarantor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Guarantor in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the authorization of such action by the Board of Directors of the Guarantor.
