We recently sold our Oceanic Time Warner project, and have several additional projects now being packaged for sale. Our Hawaii pipeline still dominates our project intake, but we are also getting traction on projects in California and in the Northeastern United States. The velocity of our PPA contracts is improving; the signing of the Kalaeloa Makai PPA this week further strengthens our backlog. This project will benefit the more than 200 residential units at the property. The operational success during the quarter was significant and will be recognized in upcoming quarters.”
