"On the strategic front, we are making steady progress in our partnership with the Green Investment Group, achieving another important milestone in Q1 with the Rookery project reaching financial close. With two of our four advanced UK development projects now in construction, we are well on our way towards our goal of generating $40 to $50 million in annual Free Cash Flow from this pipeline.
