 unavailability of additional financing could require us to delay, scale back, or terminate our acquisition efforts as well as our own business activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its viability and prospects. 52 Management believes renewable power has been one of the fastest growing sources of electricity generation globally over the past decade. The Company expects the renewable energy generation segment to continue to offer growth opportunities driven by:

| ● | The continued reduction                                                                                                            
 in the cost of solar and other renewable energy technologies, which the Company believes will lead to grid parity in an increasing 
 number of markets;                                                                                                                 |

| ● | Distribution charges and                                                                                                      
 the effects of an aging transmission infrastructure, which enable renewable energy generation sources located at a customer’s 
 site, or distributed generation, to be more competitive with, or cheaper than, grid-supplied electricity;                     |

| ● | The replacement of aging                                                                                                            
 and conventional power generation facilities in the face of increasing industry challenges, such as regulatory barriers, increasing 
 costs of and difficulties in obtaining and maintaining applicable permits, and the decommissioning of certain types of conventional 
 power generation facilities, such as coal and nuclear facilities;                                                                   |

| ● | The ability to couple renewable                                                                                                      
 energy generation with other forms of power generation and/or storage, creating a hybrid energy solution capable of providing energy 
 on a 24/7 basis while reducing the average cost of electricity obtained through the system;                                          |

| ● | The desire of energy consumers                             
 to lock in long-term pricing for a reliable energy source; |

| ● | Renewable energy generation’s                                                                                                      
 ability to utilize freely available sources of fuel, thus avoiding the risks of price volatility and market disruptions associated 
 with many conventional fuel sources;                                                                                               |

| ● | Environmental concerns                  
 over conventional power generation; and |

| ● | Government policies that                                                                                                                 
 encourage the development of renewable power, such as country, state or provincial renewable portfolio standard programs, which motivate 
 utilities to procure electricity from renewable resources.                                                                               |

Access to Capital Markets The Company’s ability to acquire additional clean power generation assets and manage its other commitments will likely be dependent on its ability to raise or borrow additional funds and access debt and equity capital markets, including the equity capital markets, the corporate debt markets, and the project finance market for project-level debt. The Company accessed the capital markets several times in 2022 and 2023, but not so far during 2024, in connection with long-term project debt, and corporate loans and equity. Limitations
