(Page 16) - There is a strategic partnership approach with global investors like IFC and Mitsubishi, providing equity capital and opening alternative capital avenues for long-term funding, not just short-term liquidity. (Pages 12-13) - The company plans to maintain financial discipline, balancing the addition of new projects with the right risk and returns.
