Question
Hannah Velásquez of Jefferies followed up on the battery safe harbor timeline for projects through 2029, asking if any hesitation was due to pending Treasury guidance, and requested an update on the 250 MW of PPA negotiations for data centers.
Answer
CFO Assi Ginzburg clarified that they do not anticipate issues with safe-harboring additional storage projects this year, as the decision is based on project readiness and interconnection visibility, not pending guidance. CEO Doron Blachar added that the data center PPA negotiations are ongoing for projects using existing technology and he hopes to announce signed contracts in the coming months.
