## Data quality

- The 2021 Masdar transaction disclosed a 50% acquisition in an eight-project, 1.6 GW portfolio. The official announcement identifies three wind projects in Texas and Nebraska and five solar projects in California—not Copenhagen Wind Farm. No Copenhagen-specific consideration or inclusion was identified in the public disclosure. No project-specific debt, tax-equity investment structure, financial-close amount, lender name, or financing amount was identified in the supplied research. The 15-year PPA with Narragansett Electric is a power-sale contract, not project financing. The plant record lists Copenhagen Wind Farm, LLC (2013 to 2018) and EDF Renewable Asset Holdings, Inc. (2015 to 2024) as previous operators, but operator listing is not evidence of ownership transfer. All current and historical control remains with EDF Renewables and its subsidiaries. EDF Renewables Asset Optimization is identified as providing operational management services including 24/7/365 remote monitoring and diagnostics from a San Diego-based Operations Control Center.
