From the News Service of Florida: NextEra Energy, the parent company of Florida Power & Light, named John Ketchum on Tuesday as its president and chief executive officer. Ketchum, who has held a number of executive positions during 19 years with the company and its affiliates, will replace Jim Robo.

An announcement said Robo will serve as executive chairman during a transition period, with Ketchum joining the company’s board of directors on March 1. Robo became president and CEO in July 2012 and chairman of the board in December 2013.
