 make assurances that we will identify suitable transactions or that we will have access to sufficient resources, through our credit facilities, the capital markets or otherwise, to pursue and complete any identified acquisition opportunities on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. Any acquisition that we propose or complete would be subject to regulatory approvals and other normal commercial risks that could result in the transaction not being completed on the terms anticipated, on time, or at all. In the event we are unable to close a transaction that we’ve entered into, we may be subject to termination fees that could become payable to the vendor. An unavoidable level of risk remains regarding potential undisclosed or unknown liabilities relating to any acquisition. The existence of such undisclosed liabilities may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. There can be no assurance that the Company will realize the anticipated benefits in respect of the Heartland Generation acquisition. The acquisition of Heartland Generation may not deliver the anticipated benefits expected to arise from such transaction, including as it pertains to accretion to free cash flow, the remaining life of the Heartland Generation assets and the ability for such assets to generate sufficient average annual EBITDA to meet the Company’s expectations. Furthermore, as with all development projects, there are risks related to the development of the 400 MW Battle River Carbon Hub Project held by Heartland Generation, including risk relating to the project’s continued development, the ability to obtain regulatory approval and the economic outlook required to support a final investment decision. We could suffer lost revenues or increased expenses and penalties if we are unable to operate our generation facilities at a level necessary to comply with our PPAs. The ability of our facilities to generate the maximum amount of power or steam that can be sold under PPAs is an important determinant of our revenues. Under certain PPAs, if the facility is not capable of generating electricity or steam for the required availability in a given contract year, penalty payments may be payable to the relevant purchaser by us and could give rise to termination rights. The payment of any such penalties or the termination of such PPAs could adversely affect our revenues and profitability. We are dependent on access to parts and equipment from certain key suppliers and we may be adversely affected if these relationships are not maintained. Our ability to compete and expand depends on having access, at a reasonable cost, to equipment, parts and components that are technologically and economically competitive with those used by our competitors. Although we have individual framework agreements with various suppliers, there can be no assurance that these relationships with suppliers will
