◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you sell to utilities—grid equipment, renewable energy systems, battery storage, construction services—you now have a buyer with $2.25 billion in synergy-funded capital spending and a mandate to 'build needed infrastructure more efficiently' across the Southeast. The regulatory approval process through 2027 gates the capital; call the combined company's procurement team now, before competitors map the same deal.
