The book’s note
4,750 MW is the end-state; the promise is the first 54 MW within two years of 11 Sep 2024. No energization found in a search to the close (close sweep, ch11 §8); in April 2026 construction of the first phase was put toward the end of 2026. Chapter 12 scores it missed. Slippage matrix row 11. Status word aligned with the book’s August 2026 compilation’s table of promised dates at rev 589 (6 Oct 2026): the first 54 MW of IT capacity, due 11 September 2026, missed.
