PRIM: Renewable Overhang Remains; Broader Energy Opportunity Remains Intact

June 17, 2026

Summary

Renewables timeline reaffirmed: The 6 challenged projects remain on

track for substantial completion by year-end; management has not

identified any material issues beyond those previously discussed. Further,

management noted that PRIM has historically completed ~14 GW of solar

projects, while the six challenged projects represent ~3 GW of capacity. The

company continues to see a sizable long-term opportunity set, citing ~6 GW

of future renewable opportunities under discussion.

No formal guidance update at the meeting: Management characterized

the prior lead announcement as a leadership update, not an operational

update. We believe next week’s competitor conference is the most likely

forum for a more formal project/guidance update, if management chooses

to provide one.

Risk remains concentrated in the remaining active solar work:

Management noted that project risk is typically the most visible midstream,

when cost-to-complete data begin to show whether productivity is on

plan. Management indicated that the challenged projects are PV projects,

while battery storage is managed by separate teams. They also emphasized

increased investment in estimating, engineering, geotechnical expertise,

scheduling and pre-construction planning resources since the issues

emerged.

Energy ex-renewables business momentum appears to be positive.

Management described current natural gas generation opportunities

as among the most attractive they have seen, citing a combination

of accelerating demand, limited contractor capacity, and substantially

improved contract structures. Unlike solar EPC contracts that are often

fixed-price before field execution begins, many thermal projects are now
