We hereby consent to the reference to us in the Base Prospectus under the heading “Legal Opinions,” to the references to us in the Registration Statement and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Commission by NEE on or about June 22, 2026, which will be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
