Bob Coffey, an executive at NextEra Energy, participated in a panel discussion at the second annual Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo (NECX 2026) in Dallas.
Global electricity demand is projected to grow 3.8% next year, driven by AI data centers, manufacturing reshoring, and EV adoption. Solar will lead growth with 600 TWh annually through 2027, while nuclear capacity will expand through plant restarts and uprates. Natural gas serves as a bridge fuel with 48 GW needed by 2035 to meet data center demand. Data center energy consumption could reach 945 TWh by 2030 and 1,200 TWh by 2035.
Argus Research has revised its price target for NextEra Energy, lowering it from $102 to $96.
NextEra Energy is slowing its dividend growth to 6% annually through 2028, down from previous 10% growth rates. This slowdown is strategic, allowing the company to conserve cash for its pending Dominion Energy merger and expansion of energy infrastructure for AI data centers. Despite lower dividend growth, the company's 8%+ earnings growth guidance through 2032, combined with current valuation below recent averages, positions it for solid total returns through stock price appreciation.
