What does an 18–24 month energization timeline actually mean?

The 18–24 month target applies to sites that are entitled, permitted, or otherwise ready for rapid construction start. This window covers development finalization, procurement, construction, and commissioning. Sites with unresolved permitting or infrastructure gaps will require additional time.

What site conditions are required to qualify for the platform?

Preferred sites have clear land control, existing or achievable entitlements, road and utility access, and a defined large-load development program. Shovel-ready or permitted sites enable the fastest timeline. A minimum of 1,500 developable acres and 200 MW+ solar potential is required.

What does behind-the-meter mean in this context?

Behind-the-meter means power is generated, stored, and delivered directly at the load site — on the customer's side of the utility meter. This eliminates dependency on grid interconnection queues, reduces transmission losses, and gives the off-taker direct operational visibility into their power supply.

What type of power purchase agreement does the platform use?

CSA uses infrastructure-grade power purchase agreements structured for long-term cost certainty, bankability, and operational alignment. Contract terms are designed to support capital planning and provide pricing predictability across the full contract duration.

How does your timeline compare to traditional grid interconnection paths?

Traditional grid interconnection queues can extend three to five years or more in constrained markets. CSA's behind-the-meter model bypasses this queue entirely by generating and delivering power directly at the load site.
