The bottleneck is inside and being paid away: internal limits on serving live demand, with removal already funded
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2022 call → NOWe need answer yes/no based on transcript. Need assess all three criteria. Transcript: Management conveys strong demand? They discuss total addressable market, corporate PPA market, M&A opportunities. But main thing standing between company and meaningfully more business right now is company's own capability? Need check. They mention they are on track growth, have 7 GW operating, 8.2 GW by year end. They have projects under construction. They are adding capacity. Is there a situation where live demand pressing in exceeds what company can produce? They have PPAs signed, construction underway. But actual business already in hand: They have 10.3 GW portfolio committed. They are building. But is that "demand pressing in" such that they cannot serve? They have capacity under construction. They are expanding. But is the limit their own capability? They don't say "we have more orders than we can build." They have pipeline and signed PPAs. They are proceeding. But no mention of waiting buyers, allocation, stretched lead times. They are commissioning new capacity. They mention supply chain disruptions and cost inflation, but not that demand exceeds their ability. Criterion 1: Live demand pressing in requires actual current behavior like waiting buyers, stretched lead times, allocated output, work queued. Not present. Criterion 2: Limit is company's own capability? They don't identify that. They mention they are expanding to meet growth, but not that they can't serve current demand. Criterion 3: Removal already underway? Yes, they are building projects, but that is their normal growth, not response to internal capacity constraint. Question asks: Does management convey that main thing standing between company and meaningfully more business right now is company's own capability? They talk about need to have capacity to bid, but they are well positioned. No. Thus answer NO. Need only YES or NO.
