NextEra Energy reported adjusted earnings of $875m in the third quarter of 2017, up from $809m in the same period last year.
The increase came despite the company experiencing the lowest wind resources between July and September in the last 30 years.
New investments “more than offset” the negative impact of the low wind conditions at existing assets, the company said.
NexEra said its Energy Resources unit had an additional 730MW of new wind and solar projects added to its backlog in the period, of which 566MW was wind for 2018 and 164MW of solar for 2018–2020.
It also added 514MW to the repowering backlog, the company added.
