Capacity basis: AESO connection request (MW)

DC Intel assessment

Early-Stage

Why

Specific site and active 400 MW AESO grid request place it beyond a vague portfolio announcement.

Risk

Little public evidence of site approvals, customer, FID, cooling or generation design.

Watch

Municipal approvals and a firm grid allocation/power solution.

Power strategy

Proposed 400 MW Alberta-grid connection.

An AESO request is not an allocation.
