Focus near-term capital and execution on developing unabated natural gas power generation capacity at Project Permian with future carbon capture phases as economics and financing allow.
Stated as a priority in 2 of last 2 quarters.

“Advanced Permian Basin clean firm power development on schedule targeting 80MW for Phase I.”
Acquire and secure contractual rights for natural gas power generation equipment and EPC services to support Project Permian's initial phase deployment.
Newly stated in 2026-Q3 with the acquisition closing on August 31, 2026.
