NEW YORK (S&P Global Ratings) April 17, 2017--S&P Global Ratings said today that its ratings on NextEra Energy Inc. (A-/Stable/--) are not affected by the Public Utility Commission of Texas' (PUCT) rejection of the proposed merger between NextEra and Oncor Electric Delivery Holdings LLC. Our ratings on NextEra continue to reflect the company's current business and financial risk profiles, which we expect will be unchanged by any financial or other developments that might arise if the merger is not consummated after the PUCT rejection.
