  • Potential risks involve the completion of strategic partnerships and joint ventures on acceptable terms, project financing availability, and large-scale construction risks.
  • Supply chain and equipment procurement risks, commodity availability and pricing (natural gas, water), and interconnection availability are cited as factors.
  • Leadership transition risks and broader economic, regulatory, and market conditions are noted.
  • Generation capacity targets exceeding currently permitted levels (e.g., 17 GW) are subject to successful receipt of additional permits, approvals, and financing.
