Excluding items such as nonqualified hedges and changes in value of investments held in a nuclear decommissioning fund, NextEra registered adjusted earnings of $1.78 billion, or 88 cents a share.

Second-quarter revenue rose 42% to $7.35 billion.

NextEra Energy Resources, NextEra's renewable-energy arm, posted a more-than tenfold increase in second-quarter net income, which rose to $1.46 billion, or 72 cents a share.
