This investment marks the Company's first power innovation project aimed at meeting growing demand in grid-constrained markets. The project, expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, is supported by a 10-year, primarily fixed-price power purchase agreement. As a result of this agreement, the Company is increasing its 2025 growth capital expenditures by $925 million, raising the total to between $2.575 billion and $2.875 billion, and is expected to elevate its leverage ratio midpoint for 2025 to 3.65x.
