Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. A stated agreement on electricity supply, a power purchase, a plant restart or the development of generation, at the stage the parties state. It is not delivery of power, and an agreement to explore is not a contract.
Date. Date of the announcement, as the source gives it.
