◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're selling infrastructure to utilities—transformers, grid software, modular reactors, or grid-scale batteries—a combined 110-gigawatt operator with 130 GW of connection demand just became your buyer, and the six-month approval window means they'll be locking in procurement decisions now. The merger language emphasises technology standardisation across four states: that's your footprint to own.
