SECTION 8 - OTHER EVENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events
During the first quarter of 2015, NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NEP) completed the acquisition of the following projects (acquired assets):
• | Palo Duro - an approximately 250 megawatt (MW) wind project located in Hansford and Ochiltree Counties, Texas; and |
• | Shafter - a 20 MW solar project under construction located in Shafter, California. |
The acquired assets were previously owned by indirect subsidiaries of NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE) and, as such, the acquisitions are considered a transfer of assets between entities under common control, which required them to be accounted for as if the transfers occurred since the inception of common control, with prior periods retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. Accordingly, NEP is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect the historical results and financial position of the acquired assets prior to their respective acquisition dates for all periods presented in NEP's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 20, 2015, as amended (2014 Form 10-K).
The following items from NEP's 2014 Form 10-K, updated to reflect the effects of treating the acquired assets as a combination of businesses under common control, are included herein as Exhibit 99:
• | Item 6: Selected Financial Data; |
• | Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview, Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources; and |
• | Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data |
The updated portions of the 2014 Form 10-K described above are attached as Exhibit 99 hereto. Other than the items listed above, NEP is not otherwise updating any other portion of its 2014 Form 10-K. This Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with NEP's 2014 Form 10-K and its other SEC filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
