“I think we're going to get it all back in '26 and '27 on that 650 megawatts.”
John Ketchum · CEO
How to check this claim
Look at: Megawatts from the removed backlog project(s) that are re-added to signed backlog or placed into service, cumulative for 2026-2027
It came true if: Cumulative megawatts recovered into backlog/service for the referenced 650 MW >= 650 by end of 2027
Where: Company-disclosed backlog and renewables development tables (10-K / quarterly earnings materials, 2026-2027)
In context
“bout that 1 gigawatt removal and what's driving that? John Ketchum: Yes, absolutely, Steve. This is pretty straightforward. So as you said, we added 3 gigawatts. I mean, another really strong quarter of origination, and we are just seeing a lot of demand for renewables and storage in the market. And remember, so out of that 3 gigawatts, we put 1.7 gigawatts into service in the quarter. And really, I think what you're referencing is the 900 megawatts. Let me just break that down. So we removed 650 megawatts from backlog, which was pretty conservative by us. I think you know we're pretty conservative on how we manage the backlog. We did that for various development reasons. And this is really on some smaller projects that we are really -- that we're continuing to manage, as we move forward. I think we're going to get it all back in '26 and '27 on that 650 megawatts. So it will just come a little bit later. And then there was another 250 megawatts that we just had a little bit of a permitting delay on. So we're just shifting that from '25 to '26. And when you put that 900 megawatts together, it's what, call it, 130 of the backlog, but feel good about getting all of that back. It just comes a little bit later in time. Otherwise, had you included that, we would have been at the bottom end of the '24, '25 range. And I think as investors saw, we've reaffirmed our expectations through '27, including the fact we'd be disappointed not to be at the high end of the range. And so these moves really just don't have any impact on our ability to meet our financial expectations that we've communicated to investors. And as you look out, a lot of positives to see in”
