The delivery of each of these asset classes are projects in and of themselves, so the project will be structured accordingly with a project manager over each tranche of power asset class delivery.

Draft project assignment conditions are available and are meant to offer flexibility to allow the various needs of our top talent to participate in this revolutionary project.
