The paraphrase is Selekoa’s, written from the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28; it is not a quotation and was not machine-matched. The cross-family check found it faithful. No human editorial review. Status and meaning Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor . An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. 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. Stated by Meta; Vistra's release was not retrieved.
