Leases [Abstract]
Leases	LeasesNEE has operating and finance leases primarily related to purchased power agreements, land use agreements that convey exclusive use of the land during the arrangement for certain of its renewable energy projects and substations, buildings and equipment. Operating and finance leases primarily have fixed payments with expected expiration dates ranging from 2022 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 20 years and some have options to terminate at NEE's discretion. At December 31, 2021, NEE’s ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases totaled approximately $547 million and $555 million, respectively; the respective amounts at December 31, 2020 were $535 million and $541 million. At December 31, 2021, NEE’s ROU assets and lease liabilities for finance leases totaled approximately $205 million and $200 million, respectively; the respective amounts at December 31, 2020 were $128 million and $124 million. NEE’s lease liabilities at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were calculated using a weighted-average incremental borrowing rate at the lease inception of 3.57% and 3.81%, respectively, for operating leases and 3.52% and 3.50%, respectively, for finance leases, and a weighted-average remaining lease term of 39 years and 33 years, respectively, for operating leases and 31 years and 25 years, respectively, for finance leases. At December 31, 2021, expected lease payments over the remaining terms of the leases were approximately $1.4 billion with no one year being material. NEE's operating lease cost for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 totaled approximately $92 million, $95 million and $91 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, NEE's ROU assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations totaled approximately $92 million, $121 million and $450 million, respectively, and in 2019 primarily relate to leases acquired with the Gulf Power ($262 million at FPL) and Trans Bay acquisitions (see Note 6). Other operating and finance lease-related amounts were not material to NEE's consolidated statements of income for the periods presented. NEE has operating and sales-type leases primarily related to a natural gas and oil electric generation facility and certain battery storage facilities that sell their electric output under power sales agreements to third parties which provide the customers the ability to dispatch the facilities. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, NEE recorded a net investment in sales-type leases of approximately $42 million and $47 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the power sales agreements have expiration dates from 2024 to 2043 and NEE expects to receive approximately $843 million of lease payments over the remaining terms of the power sales agreements with no one year being material. Operating and sales-type lease-related amounts were not material to NEE's consolidated statements of income for the periods presented.
