Energy US Partners Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NEP), entered into two ten-year forward-starting interest rate swap agreements (the forward swaps) beginning March 26, 2028 with a total notional value of $5 billion with Bank of America, N.A. (the forward counterparty). NEP entered into the forward swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with forecasted debt issuances over the next ten years. The forward swaps require mandatory cash settlement on March 26, 2028 based on NEP paying a fixed interest rate of 3.192% per annum for a period of ten years through March 26, 2038 and in return receiving three-month </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;color:#222222;">London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR)</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">&#32;for that period. NEP may early terminate all or a portion of the forward swaps at any time prior to March 26, 2028 to hedge interest rates for a period of ten years on debt issuances during that period. The obligations to the forward counterparty are secured by the collateral that secures the loans under an outstanding revolving credit facility dated as of October 24, 2017 on an equivalent and pro rata basis with the principal of such loans and are guaranteed by NextEra Energy Operating Partners, LP and NEP.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font

SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 22, 2018, NextEra Energy US Partners Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NEP), entered into two ten-year forward-starting interest rate swap agreements (the forward swaps) beginning March 26, 2028 with a total notional value of $5 billion with Bank of America, N.A. (the forward counterparty). NEP entered into the forward swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with forecasted debt issuances over the next ten years. The forward swaps require mandatory cash settlement on March 26, 2028 based on NEP paying a fixed interest rate of 3.192% per annum for a period of ten years through March 26, 2038 and in return receiving three-month
London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
for that period. NEP may early terminate all or a portion of the forward swaps at any time prior to March 26, 2028 to hedge interest rates for a period of ten years on debt issuances during that period. The obligations to the forward counterparty are secured by the collateral that secures the loans under an outstanding revolving credit facility dated as of October 24, 2017 on an equivalent and pro rata basis with the principal of such loans and are guaranteed by NextEra Energy Operating Partners, LP and NEP.
The description of the forward swaps set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the schedule to the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement dated as of March 21, 2018 and the trade confirmations each dated as of March 26, 2018, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
