Is NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating NextEra Energy at current levels.
The grid is the bottleneck for AI, and NextEra owns the biggest shovel in the renewables pile.
Where NEE is headed
By the back half of 2027, NextEra stops being talked about as a defensive utility and starts being talked about as critical AI infrastructure. The math is unavoidable: hyperscalers need roughly 50-80 gigawatts of new power by 2030 to feed their datacentre buildouts, and the only generation you can stand up in under 36 months at scale is solar plus storage. NextEra has a 300+ GW development pipeline. Nobody else in North America is close. Florida Power & Light keeps printing its 10% regulated rate base growth in the background, and NEER (the unregulated arm) becomes the venue where Microsoft, Meta, and Google sign 15-year power purchase agreements at premium prices because they have no alternative.
