Operating and finance leases primarily have fixed payments with expected expiration dates ranging from 2026 to 2083, with the exception of operating leases related to three land use agreements with an expiration date of 2106, some of which include options to extend the leases up to 34 years and some have options to terminate at NEE's discretion. As of December 31, 2025, NEE’s and for operating leases totaled approximately $442 million and $458 million, respectively; the respective amounts as of December 31, 2024 were $372 million and $387 million. As of December 31, 2025, NEE’s and for finance leases totaled approximately $1,108 million and $1,143 million, respectively; the respective amounts as of December 31, 2024 were $826 million and $840 million. NEE’s lease liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were calculated using a weighted-average incremental borrowing rate at the lease inception of 4.37% and 3.83%, respectively, for operating leases and 5.91% and 4.92%, respectively, for finance leases, and a weighted-average remaining lease term of 38 years and 44 years, respectively, for operating leases and 39 years and 33 years, respectively, for finance leases. As of December 31, 2025, expected lease payments over the remaining terms of the leases were approximately $4.1 billion with no one year being material. NEE has operating and sales-type leases primarily related to certain battery storage facilities and a natural gas and oil electric generation facility. These facilities sell their electric output under power sales agreements to third parties that provide customers the ability to dispatch the facilities. As of December 31, 2025, the power sales agreements have expiration dates ranging from 2026 to 2050 and NEE expects to receive lease payments of approximately $432 million, $431 million, $415 million, $415 million, $415 million and $4,936 million in 2026 through 2030 and thereafter, respectively. Operating lease income of approximately $286 million, $193 million and $99 million was recognized as operating revenue in NEE's consolidated statements of income in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
