XPLR has identified XPLR OpCo, a limited partnership with a general partner and limited partners, as a VIE. XPLR has consolidated the results of XPLR OpCo and its subsidiaries because of its controlling interest in the general partner of XPLR OpCo. At September 30, 2026, XPLR owned an approximately 48.8% limited partner interest in XPLR OpCo and NEE Equity owned a noncontrolling 51.2% limited partner interest in XPLR OpCo. The assets and liabilities of XPLR OpCo as well as the operations of XPLR OpCo represent substantially all of XPLR's assets and liabilities and its operations.

In addition, at September 30, 2026, XPLR OpCo consolidated 12 VIEs related to certain subsidiaries which have sold differential membership interests (see Note 10 – Noncontrolling Interests) in entities which own and operate 25 wind generation facilities as well as eight solar projects, including related battery storage facilities, and one stand-alone battery storage facility. These entities are considered VIEs because the holders of the differential membership interests do not have substantive rights over the significant activities of these entities. The assets, primarily property, plant and equipment – net, and liabilities, primarily accounts payable and accrued expenses and asset retirement obligations, of the VIEs, totaled approximately $8,055 million and $469 million, respectively, at September 30, 2026. At December 31, 2025, there were 15 VIEs and the assets and liabilities of those VIEs at such date totaled approximately $9,601 million and $504 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, XPLR OpCo also consolidated three VIEs related to the sales of Class B noncontrolling membership interests in certain XPLR subsidiaries (see Note 10 – Noncontrolling Interests) which have ownership interests in and operate wind and solar facilities with a combined net generating capacity of approximately 4,427 MW and battery storage capacity of 120 MW (Class B VIEs). These entities are considered VIEs because the holders of the Class B noncontrolling membership interests do not have substantive rights over the significant activities of the entities. The assets, primarily property, plant and equipment – net and intangible assets – PPAs – net, and the liabilities, primarily accounts payable and accrued expenses, long-term debt, intangible liabilities – PPAs – net, noncurrent other liabilities and asset retirement obligations, of the VIEs totaled approximately $9,883 million and $1,446 million, respectively, at September 30, 2026 and $10,066 million and $1,464 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025. Certain of the Class B VIEs include three other VIEs related to XPLR OpCo's ownership interests in Pine Brooke Class A Holdings, LLC, Star Moon Holdings, LLC (Star Moon Holdings) and Emerald Breeze Holdings, LLC (Emerald Breeze). In addition, certain of the Class B VIEs contain entities which have sold differential membership interests and approximately $6,672 million and $7,217 million of assets and $424 million and $419 million of liabilities are also included in the above disclosure of the VIEs related to differential membership interests at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, XPLR OpCo consolidated Sunlight Renewables Holdings, LLC (Sunlight Renewables Holdings), which has interests in a battery storage facility with storage capacity of 230 MW in which XPLR has an indirect 67% controlling ownership interest, and Silver State South Solar, LLC (Silver State), which has interests in a solar generation facility with generating capacity of 250 MW in which XPLR has an indirect 50% controlling ownership interest, which are VIEs. The assets, primarily property, plant and equipment – net and intangible assets – PPAs – net, and the liabilities, primarily asset retirement obligations and noncurrent other liabilities, of the VIEs totaled approximately $981 million and $31 million, respectively, at September 30, 2026 and $1,006 million and $28 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025. Sunlight Renewables Holdings contains entities which have sold differential membership interests and approximately $322 million and $329 million of assets and $9 million and $8 million of liabilities at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are also included in the disclosure of VIEs related to differential membership interests above.

XPLR's investment in these entities totaled approximately $89 million and $82 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
