“Our latest “Bargain Stock of the Month” feature is NextEra Energy (NEE), which changed its name in June from the FPL Group,” notes Vita Nelson, who notes that the company changed its name to “better reflect the company’s scale as one of the largest and cleanest energy providers in the nation.”

The editor of MoneyPaper’s Direct Investing exlains, “Its regulated utility, Florida Power & Light, provides electricity to 4.4 million customers. Its unregulated unit sells power across the United States.

“Over a third of this unit’s operation sources electric power using windmills, many of which are located in high-wind areas, such as the Texas panhandle.

NextEra Energy NEE logoUtility NextEra Energy (NEE) (formerly FPL Group), first discussed here at a price of $43.30 on March 3, 2009, appears to have put in a bottom at $45.

The company changed its name in May to better reflect the company’s clean energy provider status.

The stock of utility FPL Group (FPL), which I first wrote about on March 3, 2009, at a price of $43.30, has retreated in the past six months, but the business model is still preferred. Here’s why:
