NextEra Energy Resources, US-based NextEra Energy’s clean energy business, has announced that Brian Bolster will succeed the company’s outgoing President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rebecca Kujawa. The change of guard will take place on May 22, 2025, when Kujawa officially retires. 

A long-timer at NextEra Energy, Kujawa has been with the company for 18 years and is credited with bringing in a strong strategic perspective and leadership approach, contributing to its success. 

Her replacement Bolster currently serves as the executive vice president (EVP) and chief financial officer (CFO) of NextEra Energy. He also serves as the EVP, finance and CFO of the group’s vertically integrated rate-regulated electric utility subsidiary Florida Power & Light Company (FPL). 

Bolster switched over to NextEra Energy in May 2024 from Goldman Sachs, after having spent over 2 decades in various positions and as the head of natural resources in the Americas at the time of his move.  

Announcing his appointment, NextEra Energy Chairman John W. Ketchum said, “Brian also brings very strong relationships across the energy sector, which will serve us well in his new role as we continue to partner with utilities and commercial and industrial customers across the country to meet their power needs.” 

Additionally, NextEra Energy’s current Treasurer, Mike Dunne, will take over from Bolster as the group’s EVP, finance and CFO. His experience also spans the financial sector in his past position as the managing director, power and renewables, investment banking for Bank of America. 

NextEra Energy Resources is the world’s ‘largest’ generator of renewable energy from the wind and the sun, and a leading name in the battery storage business, according to its parent. During 2024, it added 12 GW of new renewables and battery storage projects to its backlog, expanding its total backlog to over 25 GW. It contributed $2.29 billion in net income to its parent as it earned $3.12 billion last year.
