A standout quarter for NextEra Energy saw net income jump 55% to $3.14 billion, fueled by ongoing investment in Florida's electric infrastructure and a sharp recovery in its clean energy business. The results highlight the company's ability to grow earnings even as it navigates the pending $62 billion acquisition of Dominion Energy.
