Management said customers need power and seek low-cost supply from providers able to execute and deliver, which it believes positions the company well against less reliable alternatives. It said tax credits for wind and solar help lower those technologies’ costs relative to other choices, and that it can pass through interest rates to customers in new renewable contracts. The CEO added that rising costs are pressuring low-cost bidders with thinner margins, which he expects to support the company’s market share and returns.
