Partners, LP (NEE Management), as manager, which amends and restates the management services agreement, dated as of July 1, 2014 (MSA). NEP, NEP OpCo GP, NEP OpCo and NEE Management entered into the amended and restated MSA in order to modify the incentive distribution right fees (IDRs). Under the amended and restated MSA, total quarterly distributions to NEP OpCo unitholders above $0.3525 per NEP OpCo common unit will be split 75% to NEP OpCo unitholders and 25% to NEE Management for IDRs. If total quarterly distributions to NEP OpCo unitholders are equal to or less than $0.3525 per NEP OpCo common unit, IDRs will be paid using the same tiers provided under the MSA and calculated using 155,676,995 common units, the number of NEP OpCo common units outstanding on the date the amendment to the MSA was approved by NEP GP&#8217;s board of directors.</font></div><div

SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 10, 2017, NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NEP), NextEra Energy Operating Partners GP, LLC (NEP OpCo GP) and NextEra Energy Operating Partners, LP (NEP OpCo) entered into an amended and restated management services agreement (amended and restated MSA) with NextEra Energy Management Partners, LP (NEE Management), as manager, which amends and restates the management services agreement, dated as of July 1, 2014 (MSA). NEP, NEP OpCo GP, NEP OpCo and NEE Management entered into the amended and restated MSA in order to modify the incentive distribution right fees (IDRs). Under the amended and restated MSA, total quarterly distributions to NEP OpCo unitholders above $0.3525 per NEP OpCo common unit will be split 75% to NEP OpCo unitholders and 25% to NEE Management for IDRs. If total quarterly distributions to NEP OpCo unitholders are equal to or less than $0.3525 per NEP OpCo common unit, IDRs will be paid using the same tiers provided under the MSA and calculated using 155,676,995 common units, the number of NEP OpCo common units outstanding on the date the amendment to the MSA was approved by NEP GP's board of directors.
The foregoing description of the rights and obligations of the parties under the amended and restated MSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amended and restated MSA, which is filed as Exhibit 10 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
