Monitor the final IPO pricing and demand indications as the registration statement progresses toward effectiveness. The Transener acquisition (~$178M) and AlmaSADI BESS awards (~$300M estimated investment) represent significant near-term capital commitments that the IPO proceeds may partially fund. Watch for regulatory approvals and the closing of the Transener deal expected by end of August 2026.
