An MoU is just a starting point. I want to see the actual capacity targets and how they plan to handle the interconnection for these industrial sites. Are we talking about onsite solar or offsite PPAs?

Good point. For industrial users, the real hurdle is usually the payback period on the hardware and the labor to install it. If MGL can bundle the financing with the energy supply, it might actually move the needle.

This looks like a play to capture the corporate decarbonization trend. The success here depends on the local regulatory framework for open access and how the tariffs are structured for these integrated offerings.

MGL is moving from just selling gas to selling energy solutions. It is a logical pivot as industrial customers look for ways to hit net zero targets.
