Situation
The International Opportunity
The issue was not simply demand. The challenge was structuring bankable projects around off-taker credibility, site selection, EPC capacity, revenue reliability, investor confidence, and financial institution readiness.
Complexity
What Makes the Scenario Harder Than It First Appears
Demand had to be converted into bankable project logic.
Technical execution, off-taker quality, country sequencing, and financing readiness required early discipline.
Eligible U.S.-linked components could involve U.S. Commercial Service support and U.S. EXIM Bank review.
