Investment announcements need follow-through
Corporate plans and partnership targets establish announced intentions. They do not prove that all funding was deployed, where costs landed, or how much land, water or energy each project used.
Next research step: Attach dated financial filings, planning and grid-connection records, ownership disclosures and site-level environmental measurements. Keep overlapping announcements separate.
