          "A generation project brings rotating equipment, civil structures, cooling, electrical systems and controls into a single operating asset. The EPC or construction partner’s package needs clear interfaces with the technology supplier and the owner’s operating team. Reported plant output is a facility rating, while a future commissioning date remains a target until verified. Procurement decisions should therefore consider the delivery model, stated scope and current stage together, rather than treating a contractor selection as proof of completed generating capacity."
