−Removed: are a data center infrastructure developer that is developing a large-scale, geothermal powered data center campus in Southern
−Removed: Our development site is located in Imperial County on the edge of California’s Lithium Valley, which is one of
−Removed: the world’s largest known geothermal and lithium resources.
−Removed: Imperial County has an abundance of geothermal energy that
−Removed: radiates from a shallow lava flow between the North America and Pacific tectonic plates.
−Removed: The potential geothermal energy that can be
−Removed: harvested for baseload data center power with flash, binary, and advanced closed-loop geothermal
−Removed: technologies is projected to be in the tens of gigawatts.
−Removed: the past three years, we have been working with Imperial County government officials, Imperial County Planning & Development, the
−Removed: Imperial County Board of Supervisors, Imperial Irrigation District (“IID” - the local electric utility), Imperial Valley
−Removed: Economic Development Corp and various established local geothermal power producers, as well as closed-loop geothermal technology
−Removed: companies to develop a portfolio of geothermal energy resources to power a large-scale, master-planned data center campus.
−Removed: July 2024, we canceled an option to purchase an 80-acre site and optioned a new 315-acre site for our data center campus
−Removed: development, and we are in the process of contracting an additional 320 adjacent acres that will be used for onsite geothermal power
−Removed: production in the future.
−Removed: Combined, these properties will create our master planned, 635-acre, vertically-integrated,
−Removed: geothermal-powered data center campus.
−Removed: The overall infrastructure is planned to include a switchyard/substation to connect off-site
−Removed: power through the local grid and onsite geothermal power production to our data center buildings, connections for natural gas for
−Removed: back-up generators, and diverse fiber paths for internet connectivity, water/sewer, and other utilities and services required to
−Removed: build and operate data center facilities on the campus.
−Removed: Overall, the site is being planned to support:
−Removed: production of a gigawatt or more of geothermal power;
−Removed: switchyard for offsite geothermal/solar/battery power connections from providers through the local grid;
−Removed: 25-acre building lots, each of which can support up to 250,000 square feet of data center buildings;
−Removed: for gas, water, sewer and fiber connectivity.
−Removed: plan to offer hyperscale and data center development companies the following options:
−Removed: land leases (building lots with power)
−Removed: shell leases (a basic building with power)
−Removed: Build-to-suit
−Removed: leases (completed buildings with power based on a customer’s design)
−Removed: Co-development
−Removed: with data center developers (we and a data center developer will jointly build out a section of the campus)
−Removed: plan to lease powered building lots or powered shell buildings, or to provide build-to-suit completed buildings, to large enterprise
−Removed: information technology (IT) companies that are creating or addressing the growing demand for AI, Cloud and High-Performance
−Removed: Computing (HPC) digital services.
−Removed: We are currently in discussions with a number of these companies and, based upon the interest we
−Removed: have received thus far from potential tenants, we expect that we will have agreements signed to lease all or a substantial part of
−Removed: the development by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
−Removed: In addition to our Southern California site, we are identifying and evaluating
−Removed: sites in other states that have adequate land, geothermal resources and internet connectivity that can support a one gigawatt or larger
−Removed: data center campus.
−Removed: We believe there are numerous areas in the country where advanced closed loop geothermal technology can economically
−Removed: harvest energy for onsite use in data centers and other energy intense industries.
−Removed: centers are highly specialized and secure buildings that house networking, storage and communications technology infrastructure, including
−Removed: servers, storage devices, switches, routers and fiber optic transmission equipment.
−Removed: They are designed to provide the space, power, cooling
−Removed: and network connectivity necessary to efficiently operate mission-critical IT equipment.
−Removed: Telecommunications carriers and internet providers
−Removed: typically provide network access into a data center through optical fiber connections.
−Removed: The demand for data center infrastructure is being
−Removed: driven by many factors, but most importantly by significant growth in data and increased demand for data processing and storage infrastructure.
−Removed: The market for data center facilities includes established “traditional” enterprises that are web-enabling their applications
−Removed: and business processes, as well as cloud-centric companies with sophisticated technology requirements.
−Removed: are many types of data centers and service models available in the marketplace.
−Removed: Generally, their classification depends on whether they
−Removed: are owned by one or many organizations, how they fit into the topology of other data centers, what technologies they use for computing
−Removed: and storage, and even their energy efficiency.
−Removed: However, there are four main types of data centers:
−Removed: Data Centers .
−Removed: These are built, owned and operated by companies requiring data storage for their own purposes and are optimized
−Removed: for their end users.
−Removed: Most often they are housed on the corporate campus of the owner.
−Removed: Services Data Centers .
−Removed: These data centers are managed by a third party (or a managed services provider) on behalf of a company
−Removed: requiring data storage.
−Removed: The operating company leases the equipment and infrastructure instead of buying it.
−Removed: Colocation Data Centers .
−Removed: In the case of colocation (“colo”) data centers, a company rents space within a data center
−Removed: owned by others and located off the company’s premises.
−Removed: The colocation data center hosts the infrastructure:
−Removed: building, cooling,
−Removed: bandwidth, security, etc., while the company provides and manages the components, including servers, storage and firewalls.
−Removed: Data Centers .
−Removed: In this off-premises form of data center, data and applications are hosted by a cloud services provider, such as
−Removed: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), or IBM Cloud or other public cloud provider.
−Removed: are developing our business model to compete in the data center infrastructure development segment of the data center industry, which
−Removed: is focused on providing ready-to-build-on data center campuses to companies that provide the processing, networking and storage of data.
−Removed: With the move to treat data as an asset, the data services market is expected to experience significant growth over the next decade.
−Removed: Industry automation and digital businesses are expanding, and these businesses are expected to require huge amounts of data for their
−Removed: North America is the most advanced region globally and we believe ready-to-build-on data center platforms are in high demand.
−Removed: developing our master-planned, geothermal-powered data center campus, we have had numerous discussions with several large companies that
−Removed: could lease all or part of our data center campus, with the intention of cultivating long-term strategic relationships with these companies
−Removed: once they become our tenants and providing them with solutions for their data center facilities and IT infrastructure requirements.
−Removed: initially intend to provide geothermal-powered building lots with flexibility for customers to scale for future growth.
−Removed: contemplated, our ready-to-build-on platform will provide clean-energy power, flexibility, reliability and security delivered through
−Removed: a tailored, customer-service-focused offering that will be designed to foster long-term relationships.
−Removed: Our plan is to focus on technology
−Removed: and large cloud computing customers that are expanding their services rapidly in the public and private cloud environments to provide
−Removed: them with clean-energy-powered solutions that address their current and future needs.
−Removed: We expect that our clean energy, geothermal-powered
−Removed: building platform design will allow us to offer power resiliency, and the opportunity for expansion as the needs of our customers grow.
+Added: are a developer of large-scale infrastructure designed to power the digital economy.
+Added: Our primary focus is the development of a “master-planned”
+Added: data center campus in a business-friendly Northwestern U.S.
+Added: Unlike traditional developments, our campus will be designed to
+Added: be onsite-powered, meaning we intend to provide our tenants with dedicated, reliable energy generated on the property.
+Added: its simplest, a data center is a specialized, highly-secure building that houses the “brains” of the internet.
+Added: the physical hardware—servers, storage systems, and networking equipment—that allows businesses to process, store and share
+Added: digital information.
+Added: Data centers may be thought of as high-tech warehouses where the “goods” being stored are data.
+Added: our data center campuses will require four critical elements that we plan to provide:
+Added: Constant electricity to keep the machines running.
+Added: Connectivity :
+Added: High-speed fiber optic lines to move data across the globe.
+Added: All permits and approvals necessary to build and operate a data center on our campus.
+Added: Construction-ready building sites with all utilities.
+Added: industry generally classifies data centers into four categories based on who owns the equipment and how the space is used:
+Added: Built and used by a single company for its own needs.
+Added: A third party that handles the technology and infrastructure for a client.
+Added: Multiple companies rent space, cooling, and power within a single
+Added: facility while owning their own servers.
+Added: Massive facilities where providers such as Amazon or Microsoft host data and applications
+Added: for the public.
+Added: business model is focused on the infrastructure development stage of data center construction, where we provide “construction-ready”
+Added: sites that are pre-permitted and approved, and fully-equipped with the power and utilities necessary for a data center company to build
+Added: and operate its data center facilities.
+Added: Our primary objectives include:
+Added: Onsite Energy :
+Added: We intend to offer a natural gas-powered energy platform that provides
+Added: 24/7 “baseload” power.
+Added: This is designed to avoid delays in connecting to the
+Added: grid and to give our tenants greater reliability and protection against power grid fluctuations
+Added: and service interruptions.
+Added: Scalable Solutions :
+Added: We intend to provide flexible building lots that allow our customers
+Added: to start small and expand their footprints as their data needs grow.
+Added: Strategic Partnerships :
+Added: We intend to sell or lease our construction-ready building sites
+Added: on our campus to large-scale technology and cloud service providers.
+Added: By offering a “ready-to-build”
+Added: platform, we aim to foster long-term relationships with companies that require massive, resilient
+Added: data solutions.
+Added: a world where data is increasingly treated as a vital asset, we believe our approach of combining land development with onsite power
+Added: generation addresses a critical gap in the current market.

−Removed: need for the hot rock to be permeable or porous
−Removed: the introduced working fluids can be recirculated with zero loss
−Removed: fracking or stimulation is required to establish the engineered geothermal reservoir.
−Removed: advantages mean closed-loop geothermal systems can be placed anywhere in the world as a source of carbon-free, baseload energy, with
−Removed: no impact to natural water resources and significantly reduced risk of induced seismicity.
−Removed: July 2024, we contracted to purchase 315-acres of land and are planning to option an additional 320-acres in the next couple of months.
−Removed: We believe the site we have chosen to develop is a unique location that will provide us with a rare opportunity to vertically integrate
−Removed: clean, onsite, baseload geothermal energy with a 24/7 data center operation.
−Removed: We believe 100% clean-energy-powered data centers are an
−Removed: important element in the ability of the U.S.
−Removed: to meet its carbon neutral climate goals and for hyperscale and enterprise IT companies
−Removed: to meet their shareholder and customer climate commitments to have a compliant, clean digital footprint.
−Removed: As a result, we believe the

Data Center Industry
−Removed: for data centers is intense for both more facilities and greater power availability.
−Removed: Based on several reports from CBRE, JLL and other
−Removed: research firms, the data center industry is forecasting that data center capacity will triple within the next five years.
−Removed: In the fourth
−Removed: quarter of 2024, every data center under construction was pre-leased from two to five years in advance of occupancy.
−Removed: It is widely acknowledged
−Removed: that the key constraint for the growth of data centers is the availability of power.
−Removed: To illustrate the power demand, today’s data
−Removed: center developments start in increments of 100MW, while mega-campuses of 1GW or more are currently in construction.
−Removed: to a recent report by Bloom Energy, the “ 2025 Data Center Power Report ”, demand for power in the U.S.
−Removed: is growing at
−Removed: an unprecedented rate after 20 years of flat demand.
−Removed: power needs are projected to rise by 83 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2025 –
−Removed: the equivalent to powering an additional 7.7 million homes.
−Removed: According to such report, data centers are the largest driver of this growth.
−Removed: is expected to see the highest share of new data centers outside of China.
−Removed: Since 2020, the U.S.
−Removed: colocation data center market
−Removed: alone has doubled, driven by digitization, cloud and AI.
−Removed: To power this increase, it was reported that by 2030, data centers could require
−Removed: 8%-12% of the total U.S.
−Removed: power demand compared to 3%-4% today.
−Removed: grid has not been able to keep pace with this demand.
−Removed: While utilities can likely generate sufficient power to meet data center needs,
−Removed: they face bottlenecks with transporting that power via transmission and distribution infrastructure.
−Removed: As a result, grid interconnection
−Removed: takes longer, there is more congestion on the network, and capacity is increasingly expensive.
−Removed: continues to build high-voltage
−Removed: transmission infrastructure at its current rate, it is estimated that it will take at least 80 years to deliver the power that is needed
−Removed: over the next decade.
−Removed: Energy believes new data center projects will struggle to get timely access to power.
−Removed: In the U.S., 55 GW of data center IT capacity is
−Removed: expected to come online in the next five years.
−Removed: The industry is already seeing data center IT capacity buildout ramp up with ~20 GW of
−Removed: capacity announced so far for 2025, and it is expected to continue growing.
−Removed: Bloom Energy expects that at least another 35 GW of data
−Removed: center capacity will be announced within the next five years to meet projected data center demand.
−Removed: addition, the environmental impact of power generation and use is expected to become more stringent.
−Removed: Sustainability regulations are expected
−Removed: to become more difficult to meet, and it is expected that the use of renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset carbon footprints of conventional
−Removed: data center power sources will no longer qualify.
−Removed: Today, less than 5% of the energy directly powering data centers is clean.
−Removed: to the 2024 United States Data Center Energy Usage Report “ Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Division, Lawrence Berkeley
−Removed: National Laboratory ,” energy consumption by U.S.
−Removed: data centers has been on the rise and reached 280 terawatt hours (TWh) in
−Removed: 2024 accounting for an estimated 5% to 6% of the nation’s total electricity usage.
−Removed: Projections for data center energy consumption
−Removed: by 2028 range from 325 TWh to 580 TWh.
−Removed: This annual usage would correspond to a power demand for data centers of between 74 GW and 132
−Removed: GW, which equates to 6.7% to 12.0% of the anticipated total U.S.
−Removed: electricity consumption for 2028.
−Removed: to a report by P & S Intelligence, a market research firm, the data center industry is large and on pace to grow rapidly, from $282
−Removed: billion in 2024 to over $602 billion in 2030.
−Removed: The industry is not only large, but also very profitable.
−Removed: According to the Dgtl Infra report
−Removed: “ Data Center REITs, Stocks and ETFs:
−Removed: Investing in 2024 ”, in February 2024, the principal data center developer/operator
−Removed: companies averaged EBITDA margins of 50% or more on lease revenues.
−Removed: Those that are publicly traded were valued at an average of 25 times
−Removed: to a February 2025 report by PwC (Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP) on the “ Economic Contributions of Data Centers in the United
−Removed: States ,” data centers have become vital to the modern economy, underpinning digitalization, facilitating data driven decision-making,
−Removed: and supporting a broad spectrum of industries and services.
−Removed: Their role in storing, processing and managing data is essential for organizational
−Removed: success in the digital age.
−Removed: to the PwC report, the total annual contribution of the data center industry to national employment - encompassing direct, indirect and
−Removed: induced effects from data center construction and operations - has increased from 2 .9 million jobs in 2017 to 4 .7 million jobs in 2023,
−Removed: marking a 60 percent rise over this period.
−Removed: The industry’s growth has notably surpassed that of the overall U.
−Removed: economy in recent
−Removed: From 2017 to 2023, direct employment in the U.
−Removed: data center industry expanded by over 50 percent, compared to 10 percent growth
−Removed: in employment for the United States overall during the same timeframe.
−Removed: to PwC, the industry’s total annual contribution to national labor income surged from $209 billion in 2017 to $404 billion in 2023,
−Removed: reflecting a 93 percent increase.
−Removed: The increase in labor income has outpaced the increase in employment, suggesting that the U.
−Removed: center industry supports higher earning jobs at the national level.
−Removed: Additionally, its annual contribution to U.
−Removed: value added, or gross
−Removed: domestic product (GDP), rose from $355 billion in 2017 to $727 billion in 2023, marking a 105% increase.
−Removed: Over this same period, the U.
−Removed: GDP grew by only 41 percent.
−Removed: to a December 2024 IEA (International Energy Agency) report “ The Future of Geothermal Energy,” technology breakthroughs
−Removed: are unlocking huge potential for geothermal energy.
−Removed: New geothermal harvesting technologies are enabling access to previously untapped
−Removed: resources, while cost reductions and innovative financing models are paving the way for increasing the role of geothermal energy in energy
−Removed: systems around the world.
−Removed: Additionally, techniques developed by the oil and gas industry – including a strong understanding of
−Removed: the subsurface, drilling and completing wells, predicting fluid flows and managing large-scale projects – can rapidly drive down
−Removed: costs and help tap geothermal resources deeper in the ground.
−Removed: in technology are opening new horizons for geothermal energy, which is expected to make it an attractive option for countries and companies
−Removed: all around the world.
−Removed: These techniques include horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing honed through oil and gas developments in
−Removed: North America.
−Removed: If geothermal can follow in the footsteps of innovation success stories such as solar photovoltaic
−Removed: (PV), wind, EVs and batteries, it can become a cornerstone of tomorrow’s electricity and heat systems as a dispatchable
−Removed: and clean source of energy.
−Removed: For the moment, geothermal meets less than 1% of global energy demand and its use is concentrated in a few
−Removed: countries with easily accessible and high-quality resources, including the United States, Iceland, Indonesia, Turkey, Kenya and Italy.
−Removed: to the IEA report, with continued technology improvements and reductions in project costs, geothermal could meet up to 15% of global
−Removed: electricity demand growth by 2050.
−Removed: This would mean the cost-effective deployment of as much as 800 GW of geothermal power capacity worldwide,
−Removed: producing almost 6,000 terawatt-hours per year, which is equivalent to the current electricity demand today of the United States and
−Removed: India combined.
−Removed: is a versatile, clean and secure energy source that can provide around-the-clock electricity generation, heat production and storage.
−Removed: As the energy source is continuous, geothermal power plants can operate at their maximum capacity throughout the day and year.
−Removed: global geothermal capacity had a utilization rate over 75% in 2023, compared with less than 30% for wind power and less than 15% for
−Removed: In addition, geothermal power plants can operate flexibly in ways that contribute to the stability of electricity grids, ensuring
−Removed: demand can be met at all times and supporting the integration of variable renewables such as solar PV and wind.
−Removed: to the IEA report, investment in geothermal is growing.
−Removed: Governments, oil and gas companies and utilities are among those looking for
−Removed: investment opportunities in geothermal.
−Removed: If deep cost reductions for next-generation geothermal can be delivered, total investment in
−Removed: geothermal could reach $1 trillion cumulatively by 2035 and $2.5 trillion by 2050.
−Removed: At its peak, geothermal investment could reach $140
−Removed: billion per year, which is higher than current investment in onshore wind power globally.
−Removed: As a dispatchable source of clean power, geothermal
−Removed: is also attracting interest from stakeholders beyond the energy industry, including technology companies looking to meet the fast-growing
−Removed: demand for electricity in data centers.
−Removed: competition in the data center industry is primarily driven by the increasing presence of small- and large-scale service providers globally,
−Removed: and we will compete with numerous data center developers, and public and private owners and operators of technology-related real estate
−Removed: and data centers.
−Removed: key participants in the data center market with which we will compete are infrastructure developers, such as Tract, ScaleUp, Stream,
−Removed: Quantum Loophole and Cloverleaf Infrastructure, and data center companies such as Digital Realty, Equinix, CyrusOne, QTS, Vantage and
−Removed: Compass, among many others.
−Removed: In addition, we may face competition from other new entrants into the data center market.
−Removed: Many of our current
−Removed: and potential competitors may have significant advantages over us, including greater name recognition, longer operating histories, pre-existing
−Removed: relationships with current or potential customers, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources, ownership of more
−Removed: data centers and data centers that are more broadly distributed geographically, access to less expensive power, and more robust interconnected
−Removed: hubs in certain geographic markets.
−Removed: All of these potential advantages could allow competitors to respond more quickly to new or changing
−Removed: opportunities.
−Removed: In addition, once we are operational, if our competitors offer space, power and/or interconnection services at rates below
−Removed: current market rates, or below the rates we are then charging our customers, we may lose potential customers or be pressured to reduce
−Removed: our rental rates below those we are then charging or have modelled in order to retain customers when our customers’ leases expire.
+Added: to PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”), the data center industry has entered a profound infrastructure investment supercycle,
+Added: with total capital requirements projected to reach $3 trillion by 2030.
+Added: Global data center capacity is expected to nearly double, growing
+Added: from 103 GW to 200 GW between 2026 and 2030.
+Added: This growth is fundamentally driven by the scaling of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”),
+Added: which is anticipated to represent half of all workloads by 2030.
+Added: fundamentals remain exceptionally tight.
+Added: According to CBRE Group, Inc.
+Added: (“CBRE”) and Jones Lang LaSalle (“JLL”),
+Added: as of early 2026, global occupancy stands at 97%, with 77% of the current construction pipeline already pre-committed to tenants.
+Added: global market size was valued by PwC at approximately $386.71 billion in 2025 and is projected to exceed $1.1 trillion by 2035.
+Added: availability, rather than location or real estate cost, has become the primary criterion for site selection.
+Added: electrical grid
+Added: has been unable to keep pace with demand, resulting in multi-year delays for new connections.
+Added: According to CBRE and JLL:
+Added: In major hubs, the wait time for a grid connection now averages four or more
+Added: ● Expectation
+Added: There is a widening “power expectation gap” of 1.5 to 2 years between
+Added: the utilities’ projected delivery timelines and the immediate capacity needs of hyperscale
+Added: Consumption :
+Added: Data centers are expected to account for 8.9% to 12% of total U.S.
+Added: demand by 2030, up from approximately 4.4% in 2023.
+Added: mitigate grid volatility and interconnection delays, the industry is increasingly adopting “Power-First” infrastructure strategies,
+Added: moving toward independent, off-grid operation.
+Added: Approximately one-third of data center leaders expect their facilities to be
+Added: 100% onsite-powered by 2030.
+Added: Roughly 73% of hyperscalers and colocation providers are actively evaluating
+Added: or selecting onsite power providers to ensure predictable “time-to-power”.
+Added: Onsite generation allows developers to pursue “power-advantaged”
+Added: regions with an abundance of natural gas, such as Texas, which is projected to capture nearly
+Added: 30% of total U.S.
+Added: data center demand by 2028.
+Added: gas has emerged as the essential “bridge” and primary fuel source for onsite data center power.
+Added: ● Dispatchability :
+Added: Natural gas remains the preferred choice for data centers because it provides reliable, 24/7
+Added: dispatchable power without the intermittency associated with renewable sources.
+Added: Microgrids powered by gas turbines and fuel cells are gaining momentum, enabling
+Added: campuses to operate as independent “energy islands”.
+Added: Next-generation designs often combine natural gas with Battery Energy Storage
+Added: Systems (BESS) and solar, positioning the data center as a dynamic asset that can support
+Added: the grid while maintaining its own critical load.
+Added: Contribution :
+Added: Currently, natural gas accounts for approximately 40% of U.S.
+Added: power generation,
+Added: and its role as the leading fuel source for data center electricity is expected to persist
+Added: through the end of the decade.
+Added: data center industry continues have a significant economic impact throughout the U.S.
+Added: and to be a significant catalyst for national growth.
+Added: and Employment :
+Added: Between 2017 and 2021, data centers contributed $2.1 trillion to the
+Added: GDP through direct and indirect effects.
+Added: Direct employment in the sector grew by 17% from 2017 to 2021, significantly
+Added: outperforming the broader U.S.
+Added: employment growth of 2%.
+Added: ● Sustainability
+Added: While traditional Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) are facing increased scrutiny,
+Added: operators are shifting toward 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) goals.
+Added: This shift is driving
+Added: interest in natural gas turbines that can eventually be converted to hydrogen and high-efficiency
+Added: liquid cooling systems.

+Added: co-located natural gas power plants and data centers.
+Added: believe our strategic pivot to onsite natural gas power generation addresses the immediate, critical need for baseload power for hyperscale
+Added: We believe our plan for onsite power offers us the following competitive advantages:
+Added: Time-to-Power :
+Added: By generating power on-site, we bypass the increasingly congested and
+Added: slow utility interconnection queues that hamper our larger, grid-dependent competitors.
+Added: Reliability :
+Added: Unlike intermittent renewable sources (solar/wind), our natural gas-fired
+Added: turbines and engine system will provide 24/7 “always-on” power required for the
+Added: relentless duty cycles of AI and large-scale Large Language Models (LLM) training.
+Added: of our current and potential competitors may have significant advantages over us, including greater name recognition, longer operating
+Added: histories, pre-existing relationships with current or potential customers, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources,
+Added: ownership of more data centers and data centers that are more broadly distributed geographically, access to less expensive power, and
+Added: more robust interconnected hubs in certain geographic markets.
+Added: All of these potential advantages could allow competitors to respond more
+Added: quickly to new or changing opportunities.
+Added: In addition, once we are operational, if our competitors offer space, power and/or interconnection
+Added: services at rates below current market rates, or below the rates we are then charging our customers, we may lose potential customers
+Added: or be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we are then charging or have modelled in order to retain customers when our customers’
