In context

I mean, this work -- this activity we see supports what we've outlined. I mean we've also announced the economic expansion that we see all across the company, 120 companies locating in our territory, 21,000 jobs, the 17% year-over-year data center growth, sales growth this year of 1.7% and what we've spoken to going into the latter part of the decade.

Or how are you kind of thinking about sourcing the generation for that? Christopher Womack: It continues to support our all-of-the-above strategy. Clearly, I mean, I think there's -- as we talked about in our plan, there's a lot of gas in the plan, but you're going to continue to see battery energy storage, I mean some of the opportunities that we have. I mean, we'll look at all the resources in terms
