Offtake contract availability and terms are a function of a number of economic, regulatory, tax and public policy factors, each of which is also subject to change.
In addition, the availability of offtake contracts depends on utility and corporate energy procurement practices that may change over time. Offtake contract availability and terms are a function of a number of economic, regulatory, tax and public policy factors, each of which is also subject to change.
Our corporate structure and operating model require coordination of business activities with multiple subsidiaries, joint ventures and partnerships across various jurisdictions as described elsewhere in this Annual Report. Failure to properly manage such business activities could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, our operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business globally.

For example, our project CO Bar, located in Arizona, which has a capacity of 1,211 MW and 824 MWh, was originally expected to reach COD in the second half of 2026, but has been delayed for approximately another year due to the Arizona Public Service’s queue reform process having taken longer than expected to complete and additional hurdles in achieving an interconnection agreement.
For example, our CO Bar complex in Arizona, which comprises of five individual projects with a combined generation capacity of 1,211 MW and storage capacity of 4,000 MWh, was originally expected to reach COD in the second half of 2026, but was delayed due to the Arizona Public Service’s interconnect queue reform, which has taken longer than expected to complete.
In addition to developers, independent power producers, unregulated utility affiliates, renewable energy companies, and pension and private equity funds, we also compete with traditional oil and gas companies and incumbent utilities.
In addition to developers, independent power producers, unregulated utility affiliates, renewable energy companies, and pension and private equity funds, we also compete with traditional oil and gas companies and incumbent utilities. New policies enacted by the U.S. Federal Government that favor fossil fuel energy sources may increase competition between traditional energy firms and the renewable energy sector.
If definitive approval of the European Parliament and ministers occurs and the law comes into effect, to the extent that any of the products we source were alleged or found to be non-compliant with these restrictions, our reputation may be harmed and our business and supply chain may be impacted. 8 We cannot predict whether the countries in which the components and materials are sourced, or may be sourced in the future, will be subject to new or additional trade restrictions imposed by the governments of countries in which our projects are located, including the likelihood, type or effect of any such restrictions.

Similarly, Gecama, which we operate on a Merchant Model without a PPA, accounted for 22% and 17% of our total revenues and income for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Our dependence on Blacksmith and Gecama is expected to decline over time as new projects reach commercial operation.
Similarly, Gecama, which we operate on a Merchant Model without a PPA, accounted for 16% and 9% of our total revenues and income for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
In addition, our insurance policies are subject to annual review by our insurers and may not be renewed on similar or favourable terms, including with respect to coverage, deductibles or premiums, or at all.
In addition, our insurance policies are subject to annual review by our insurers and may not be renewed on similar or favorable terms, including with respect to coverage, deductibles or premiums, or at all. 21 As the renewable energy industry grows, insurance providers may reassess the risks associated with solar energy, wind energy and energy storage projects and we may experience higher insurance costs; industry-wide increases in insurance premiums may also contribute to this trend.
Traditional utilities could also offer other value-added products or services that could help them compete with us even if the cost of electricity they offer is higher than ours. Attractive offtake terms may become unavailable, which would adversely affect our business and growth. Intense competition for offtake contracts may result in downward pressure on offtake pricing.
Traditional utilities could also offer other value-added products or services that could help them compete with us even if the cost of electricity they offer is higher than ours. Certain markets may become saturated with renewable energy projects, especially solar generation plants, which may in turn lead to cannibalization and lower power prices.
If suppliers cannot, or do not, perform under their agreements with us, we may need to seek alternative suppliers and write off existing investments. Alternative suppliers, products and services may not perform similarly, and replacement agreements may not be available on terms as favourable as those in our current agreements or at all.
Moreover, not all our suppliers are Tier 1 as defined by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (“BNEF”) and we have experienced delays and quality assurance failures. If suppliers cannot, or do not, perform under their agreements with us, we may need to seek alternative suppliers and write off existing investments.
Our business strategy includes growing our portfolio of projects through acquisitions, which involves numerous risks. Our strategy includes growing our business occasionally through acquisitions.

Industry-wide increases in insurance premiums have recently and may in the future arise as the result of cost spreading efforts from major insurance providers following major natural disasters such as hurricanes or widespread wildfires.
In addition, the discounts we receive on our insurance policies may be reduced in the future. Higher insurance prices are driven in part by cost spreading efforts from major insurance providers following major natural disasters such as hurricanes or widespread wildfires.
Such costs may include significant out-of-pocket and internal expenses, some or all of which may not be recovered. The failure of some or all of our projects to perform according to our expectations and limitations to our warranty coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Such costs may include significant out-of-pocket and internal expenses, some or all of which may not be recovered.
Not all of our equipment suppliers are investment grade entities, and we cannot guarantee that any of our suppliers will sufficiently honor the terms of our contracts in every situation. Moreover, not all our suppliers are Tier 1 as defined by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (“BNEF”) and we have experienced delays and quality assurance failures.
With some of our suppliers, lead times can span multiple years, and they may not have sufficient incentives to conclude negotiations on terms acceptable to us.. Not all of our equipment suppliers are investment grade entities, and we cannot guarantee that any of our suppliers will sufficiently honor the terms of our contracts in every situation.
Due to these and other supply chain disruptions, we may have to make sourcing decisions which could limit our supply options. Changes in international trade policy impacting regions where our components and materials are made could cause future disruptions in trade.
In addition, certain types of equipment are considered to be “long lead items”, which may take particularly long period of time. 9 Changes in international trade policy impacting regions where our components and materials are made could cause future disruptions in trade.
Should alternative technologies emerge that limit the demand for solar energy and wind energy technologies, our long-term growth may be adversely impacted. 17 Our projects depend, and will depend, on third-party service providers. We have retained and will in the future retain third-party service providers to perform EPC, O&M and other services related to our projects.
For example, the current U.S. administration has put in place new policies favoring electricity production using fossil and nuclear fuels. Our projects depend, and will depend, on third-party service providers. We have retained and will in the future retain third-party service providers to perform EPC, O&M and other services related to our projects.
In addition, sourcing the batteries from a different supplier resulted in surplus equipment, which we were able to assign to another project, but the surplus equipment will now have a shorter warranty period than it otherwise would have. 9 Using alternative suppliers may result in higher costs and/or inability to meet our project schedules or to provide equipment of the same quality as that provided by our existing suppliers.
In addition, during 2025 we recognized an amount of $12.5 million of compensation from Siemens Gamesa linked to lower performance of turbines at the Björnberget project in Sweden. Using alternative suppliers may result in higher costs and/or inability to meet our project schedules or to provide equipment of the same quality as that provided by our existing suppliers.
Political, social or economic instability in regions where our components and materials are made could cause future disruptions in trade. In recent years, tensions have increased in the South China Sea and the threat of a takeover of Taiwan by China has grown.
Taiwan plays a significant role in the global semiconductor supply chain and China is a notable producer of inputs used in utility scale renewable project equipment. In recent years, tensions have increased in the South China Sea and the threat of a takeover of Taiwan by China has grown.
