style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">On February 22, 2016, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NEP) (the purchaser) entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC (NEER) to acquire 100% of the Class A membership interests of Seiling I and II Wind Energy Centers, a combined 299.2 megawatt wind generation site located in Dewey and Woodward counties, Oklahoma. As part of this acquisition, NEP expects to acquire a $24.9 million receivable from a subsidiary of NEER relating to operational performance issues at this facility. The receivable is intended to compensate NEP for the operational performance issues and is supported in full by corrective actions or compensation expected from an equipment vendor under an undertaking the vendor has with NEER. The receivable can be settled, in part or in whole, to the extent the operational performance issues are improved or resolved by NEER or the vendor by the end of 2016. This receivable bears interest at 7.1% per annum, is payable by NEER in equal quarterly installments and matures in December 2035.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">The terms of the purchase and sale agreement were unanimously approved by NEP&#8217;s conflicts committee, which is comprised of the independent members of the board of directors of NextEra Energy Partners GP, Inc., the general partner of NEP and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NEE. The conflicts committee retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist in evaluating and negotiating the acquisition. In approving the acquisition, the conflicts committee based its decision, in part, on an opinion from its independent financial advisor.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">NEP expects the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2016 for total consideration of approximately $323 million plus the assumption of approximately $200 million in tax equity financing. The purchase price is subject to customary working capital adjustments.&#160;NEP intends to fund the purchase price through a combination of net proceeds from the issuance of common units and draws by NextEra Energy US Partners Holdings, LLC on its existing revolving credit facility.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font

Section 8 - Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events
On February 22, 2016, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NEP) (the purchaser) entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC (NEER) to acquire 100% of the Class A membership interests of Seiling I and II Wind Energy Centers, a combined 299.2 megawatt wind generation site located in Dewey and Woodward counties, Oklahoma. As part of this acquisition, NEP expects to acquire a $24.9 million receivable from a subsidiary of NEER relating to operational performance issues at this facility. The receivable is intended to compensate NEP for the operational performance issues and is supported in full by corrective actions or compensation expected from an equipment vendor under an undertaking the vendor has with NEER. The receivable can be settled, in part or in whole, to the extent the operational performance issues are improved or resolved by NEER or the vendor by the end of 2016. This receivable bears interest at 7.1% per annum, is payable by NEER in equal quarterly installments and matures in December 2035.
The terms of the purchase and sale agreement were unanimously approved by NEP's conflicts committee, which is comprised of the independent members of the board of directors of NextEra Energy Partners GP, Inc., the general partner of NEP and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NEE. The conflicts committee retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist in evaluating and negotiating the acquisition. In approving the acquisition, the conflicts committee based its decision, in part, on an opinion from its independent financial advisor.
NEP expects the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2016 for total consideration of approximately $323 million plus the assumption of approximately $200 million in tax equity financing. The purchase price is subject to customary working capital adjustments. NEP intends to fund the purchase price through a combination of net proceeds from the issuance of common units and draws by NextEra Energy US Partners Holdings, LLC on its existing revolving credit facility.
