ENERGY ENHANCED USE LEASE (“EUL”) INITIATIVE

Lemoore, California

Potential Commercial Leasing Opportunity for Development of Energy Infrastructure and/or Water Utility

Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southwest

February 1, 2024

I. SUMMARY

1. REQUIREMENT. The Department of Navy (“DON” or “Government”) is seeking Requests for Interest (“RFI”) that provide industry input regarding a potential long-term lease under Title 10, United States Code (“U.S.C.”) §2667 for commercial development of energy infrastructure and/or water utility options that meet DON objectives. Pursuant to 10 U.S.C.

§2667 the DON is interested in accepting in-kind consideration (“IKC”) in lieu of cash rent payments in the form of enhanced energy security for Naval Air Station Lemoore (“NAS Lemoore”).

2. DESCRIPTION. Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southwest, in support of the DON, is seeking RFI responses from interested entities that could develop/utilize up to 11,000 acres of unimproved agriculture land outside the security perimeter, to construct and operate critical energy resiliency infrastructure and/or water utilities aboard NAS Lemoore.

The DON aims to receive an uninterrupted supply of energy and water necessary as IKC to prepare and train United States Sailors and Officers aboard NAS Lemoore. As reflected in Enclosure (1) Site Map, NAS Lemoore is host of or adjacent to critical California electric grid infrastructure and offers geographical features, flat land with sufficient sun and wind, that could support additional energy infrastructure and/or water utility development. This RFI seeks to identify industry interest and feedback in a potential long-term lease to allow for development of underutilized, non-excess land, consistent with priorities for National Defense.

Additionally, the DON seeks feedback from industry on the many considerations necessary to maximize the feasibility of a successful energy/water resiliency project aboard NAS Lemoore.

3. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INTEREST ONLY. This RFI is a market research tool issued to determine the availability and adequacy of potential business sources for the DON’s information and planning purposes. This is not a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) or a promise to issue another solicitation type in the future. This RFI does not obligate the Government to offer the property or purchase services from any responder and the DON reserves the right to cancel this RFI at any time. Further, the DON is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. By participating in the RFI process, all responders agree to hold the United States of America, its officers, employees, and advisors harmless from all claims, liabilities, and costs related to all aspects of this RFI. Under no circumstances shall the United States of America be liable for any costs, real estate brokerage commissions, finder’s fees, or other forms of compensation related in any way to activities undertaken by any person as a result of or in response to the RFI; all costs incurred in responding to this RFI will be solely and exclusively at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if one is issued.

Please see Section III. Industry Day of this RFI for additional details on the Industry Day and Site Tour and how to RSVP to participate.

II. BACKGROUND

1. HISTORY. NAS Lemoore is host to approximately 20,000 acres of federally owned rural agricultural land. The secure operational and administrative areas are surrounded by 11,000 acres of prolific agriculture lands with more than 10,000 acres out-leased for agricultural production. The active cultivation of these farming operations have been critical in reducing bird air strikes, as the periodic discing and turning of soil reduces the bird population by frustrating the ground prey base. However, the farming operations are water intensive.

Therefore, any development ideas in response to this RFI must support the installation's mission activities and positively contribute to the energy and water goals in accordance with Enclosure (2) P-602: 3 Pillars of Energy Security (Reliability, Resiliency, & Efficiency), Enclosure (3) Department of the Navy Chief Sustainability Officer Serial Two: Water Security, and Title 10, U.S.C. § 2924 et al.

Specified Areas within Proposed Lease Premises with Development Restrictions:

• Receiver and Transmitter sites located east of Operations

• Clear zones or Accident Potential Zone (“APZ”) I near runways

• Limited options for development in APZ II near runways

• Explosive-Safety Quantity-Distance Arcs: concentrated near munitions, east of

Operations

• Small arms and existing skeet range

• Buried gas and electric line: immediately north of Gateway Road beginning at

Grangeville By-pass and connecting to southeast corner of Operations near fenced fuel farm area

• Natural Resources Management areas and possible future expansion(s) - northeast corner of NAS Lemoore

• San Joaquin Valley/Union Pacific Railroad 150’ Right of Way - extends both North and South along track

• Agriculture Wells: must not restrict access or the ability to utilize both active and inactive wells

• Additional environmental constraints may be identified during the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) process for a specific site or area

2. PROJECT OBJECTIVES. This RFI process serves to gauge industry interest and market input regarding commercial use of underutilized, non-excess federal property so new functions on the site can provide an uninterrupted supply of energy and water necessary to prepare and train United States Navy Sailors and Officers at NAS Lemoore. The DON seeks to ascertain feasibility and industry interest in commercially developing and/or otherwise utilizing this property. The DON is interested in industry input on whether there is benefit to dividing the 11,000 acres into separate leases or maintaining the acreage in one lease. NAS Lemoore’s project objective is to leverage the ability to lease underutilized, non-excess land for energy and/or water development opportunities that will help mitigate threats posed by wildfires and other natural disasters, climate change, water supply shortages, bird air strikes, an unreliable electric grid, as well as cyber and kinetic attacks.

DON does not intend to purchase energy or water from any development project. Any commercial development should provide on-base generation for off-base consumption (i.e. – utility purchase or private off taker).

In addition to the energy and water resiliency objectives described above, industry is encouraged to provide innovative development approaches that leverage latest technology that can help NAS Lemoore meet their resiliency posture through IKC projects, including but not limited to:

• Microgrid solution that can help improve energy and/or water efficiency

• Backup power solutions for critical facilities

• Behind the meter renewable energy solutions (solar PV, battery energy storage, carports, carport PV, EV charging stations, etc.)

• Upgrades to aging electrical distribution infrastructure

• Replacement of legacy electrical equipment (transformers, switchgear, etc.)

• Upgrades to water distribution infrastructure, pre/post storage tanks, pump stations or other supporting infrastructure

• Maximize water conservation through activities that positively impact groundwater recharge, stormwater retention, and sustainable land management

• Reclamation water “purple pipe” study and design

• Xeriscape designs or materials

• Electrical studies

• Energy facility upgrade improvements

• Investing in a Wastewater Treatment Plant A&E study

• Desalinization Plant

• Operations, Maintenance & Testing for existing projects

• Improvements to quality of life

• Create habitat at existing natural resource management areas for key species such as

Monarch Butterfly and Burrowing Owl

Other Considerations for Potential Development on Proposed Leased Premises:

• Employ best commercial practices to enhance energy and water security for the Installation in accordance with Enclosure (2) P-602: 3 Pillars of Energy Security (Reliability, Resiliency, & Efficiency), Enclosure (3) Department of the Navy Chief Sustainability Officer Serial Two: Water Security and Title 10, U.S.C. § 2924 et al

• Technology agnostic energy or water resiliency solutions

• Low water intensity

• Low employment requirements

• Adherence to Government determined terms for use of potable water

• Successfully integrate development activities with cultural resources and environmental policy management requirements compatible with the mission of the Installation

• Follow best practices for design guidelines that do not encourage nesting of birds or other wildlife

• Development should be noise compatible with the Air Installations Compatible Use

Zones and not inhibit or restrict the ability of NAS Lemoore to meet its mission

• Must comply with all NEPA and Environmental Condition of Property Report and

Checklist requirements o Land use controls may pertain to but are not limited to: endangered species and

Explosives Safety Quantity Distance (“ESQD”) arc limitations

Preface

1. Department of Navy (DON) facilities and utilities personnel at al l levels need a consistent understanding of energy systems, standards of energy system operations, terminology, and methods for utility project development in order to effectively optimize the DON program for energy security. Planning methods must provi de holistic consideration for system re l iability, resiliency, and efficiency to ensure a common operating framework and mission focused solutions. The Chief of Naval Operations identified energy security as a strategic imperative, stating that "shore energy security is the mitigation of vulnerabilities related to the electrical grid." (Ref. a). The U. S.

Marine Corps Assistant Deputy Commandant noted that "Success wil l require ... Energy Security solutions that mitigate the effects of supply disruptions on mission essential functions." (Ref. b)

2. Purpose and Scope. The purpose of this guide is to provide:

a. Guidelines for evaluating and measuring energy security and, b . Best practices for utility system management.

The guidelines and best practices are intended to assist in identification of Energy Security gaps , which, if resolved, can contribute to mission assurance . Projects to address these gaps should be identified and may be pursued based on life cycle cost effectiveness or to the ability to mitigate unacceptable risks from the lack of reliability or resiliency . Considering resource limitations, the guidelines and best practices take into consideration life cycle costs, cost/benefit analysis, and risk mitigation associated with addressing energy security gaps.

Security of electric energy is the primary focus of this guide.

However, similar security principles apply to other energy- related commodities, such as water, natural gas, propane, liquid fuels , steam, and availability of renewable energy .

3. Energy Security Guidelines. Per 10 USC§ 2924(Ref. c), Energy Security is defined as having assured access to reliable supplies of energy and the ability to protect and deliver sufficient energy to meet mission essential requirements. As shown in Figure 1, reliability, resi l iency, and efficiency form the Three Pillars of Energy Security.

Figure 1

ENERGY SECURITY & READINESS

Hb!Mii!N

Planners should consider the three pillars when evaluating electrical and other utility system performance." Make this the last sentence of the previous paragraph, and delete the rest of the current, proposed paragraph.

4. Priorities and Funding. Energy reliabi lity and resilience are desirable, but not all facilities require high levels of reliability and resilience. Priorities for reliability and resiliency are the energy security gaps identified during mission assurance evaluations.

Resources available for closing energy security gaps include :

Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (SRM) funds, Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP) funds, and Military Construction (MILCON) funds. Planners can also consider third-party financing opportunities, such as Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC), Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESC) , Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), Enhanced Use Leases (EUL), and Utility Privatization (UP), where applicable.

Due to expected future improvements in energy system technology and potential refinements in policy, this guide is issued as version 1.0.

As energy technology and policy evolves, this guide will also go through iterative modernization.

Section 1 Definitions

• Energy Security Definition

Energy Security is defined as having assured access to reliable supplies of energy and the ability to protect and deliver sufficient energy to meet mission essential requirements. (Ref. c)

• Reliability Definitions

1. Reliability is the percentage of time energy delivery systems (utilities) can serve customers at acceptable regulatory standards. Reliability can be measured by the frequency and duration of service disruptions to customers. The value of reliability depends upon the magnitude of adverse effects an outage has on customers. Reliability is determined by the adequacy, security, and quality of two primary elements: supply (e.g. generation availability) and delivery. For example, Electric outages occur when critical control parameters for e lectricity fall outside allowable ranges f or voltage, current, and frequency. Key attributes of a reliable e l ectrical transmission and distribution system include:

a. System is monitored and controlled to stay within acceptable limits during normal conditions.

b. System controls limit the impact and scope of instability and cascading faults when outages occur.

c. System operations can be restored promptly if power is lost.

d. System is maintained and tested regularly per current industry standards.

2. Energy Route Diversity is the number of delivery pathways a form of energy can use, such as electrical feeds, natural gas pipelines, and fuel delivery trucks. A singular pathway anywhere in route to the customer, i.e. the military installation, represents a vulnerability and risk to mission. This vulnerability is referred to as a Single Point of Failure (SPF) and should be considered in discussions with utility providers and/or mitigated where possible through route diversification and ensuring that multiple feeds are available through the commercial provider.

3. A utility interruption is an unplanned or planned loss of utility service to one or more customers resulting from one or more outages on the distribution system for more than five minutes.

Outages, excluding planned outages, are those detected at a customer's meter from any commercial or installation cause . If commercial power is lost, yet facilities continue to provide power to a certain customer's meter (e.g. dropping non-essential loads and continuing to run co-generation) , that event is not considered an outage for customers that continue 'to have sustained power.

• Resiliency Definitions

1. Resiliency is the ability of a system to anticipate, resist, absorb, respond, adapt, and recover from a disturbance. Threats that may cause a disturbance include weather events·, accidents, gee-magnetic storms, terrorism (Ref. d), fire, cyber-attack, and the effects of climate change e.g. sea level rise (Ref. e).

Energy resiliency will ensure DON installations have the ab·ility to both prepare for and recover from utility interruptions that impact mission assurance on installations.

2. Contingency Outage Study is a form of risk assessment unique to electrical systems that involves the deliberate modeling of the effects of the failure of each component of the system in terms of capacity and load support. Both component failure as well as corridor disruption are modeled (e.g. a truck takes down a pole with two circuits on it). Plans should be developed to accommodate the largest single contingency outage. Supporting Infrastructure for Critical Assets {SICA) should be reviewed at least one node beyond the fertce line (Ref. f).

3. DON installation microgrid is an integrated electrical energy system consisting of multiple interconnected loads and distributed energy resources, which act as an integrated system controlled from a central location (see Appendix A) . Microgrids normally operate .connected to and are synchronous with the traditional centralized grid but can disconnect and function autonomously as physical and/or economic conditions dictate.

NAVFAC P-601 Microgrid Design Guide (Ref. g) provides DON installations with a basic understanding of microgrid technology and a common methodology to identify requirements and develop conceptual designs. Key components of a microgrid are sensors and controls that provide the ability to rapidly reconfigure an electric distribution system tQ operate differently, with one or more of the following objectives:

a. Isolate damaged distribution line segments and possibly back feed loads downstream from the damage.

b. Optimize the balance of distributed generation, renewable energy, and grid supplies for economic or other reasons.

c. Prioritize loads to be served by constrained or curtailed sources of power.

4. Fuel switching is the ability to meet energy requirements using more than one fuel such as an electric generator that can run on natural gas or diesel fuel.

5. "Islanding" capacity is the number of hours or days critical energy needs can be met from resources internal to the installation such as stored or renewable energy sources when an installation is separated {disconnected) for any reason from the grid.

6. Mission Critical Facilities are designated from analysis of all threats and hazards, facility vulnerabilities, and importance to mission success or failure. Multiple commands or organizations may identify facilities as critical based on differing policy or requirements. The Mission Assurance {MA) Assessment program will identify Task Critical Assets (TCAs) which are assets termed critical from a DoD perspective. During MA assessments, Supporting Infrastructure for Critical Assets (SICA) will also be identified. Installation level organizations may identify facilities as critical/essential for local and/or DON missions.

The Installation Commanding Officer (ICO) assesses facility or asset priorities, as this is a prerequisite for annual Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) reviews. Table 2, Electrical Resiliency Requirements by Category Code, provides some criteria for identification of critical facilities, but the selected approach should be approved by the installation ICO.

7. Mutual Aid is a contingency plan in partnership with local utilities for obtaining temporary emergency services, replacements for critical equipment or work force resources to aid in restoration.

8. Redundancy or Redundant Systems refer to systems or sub-systems that mitigate vulnerabilities to Single Points of Failure (SPF) .

9. Restoration Priority is the priority given to the repair and re energizing of electric system components following a fault or failure. Commercial utilities are federally required to assign restoration and load shedding priorities to their facilities, inc-luding those that serve DON Installations. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) metering, microgrids, distribution automation, and facility energy management systems are all technologies being deployed within an installation to assure system resiliency through monitoring and rapid restoration (Ref.

hi.

• Efficiency Definitions

1. Efficiency is the use of the minimal energy required to achieve the desired level of service. Aging infrastructure, outdated equipment, poor maintenance, and lack of awareness contribute to inefficiency.

2. Covered facilities per EISA 2007 (Ref. i) are federal facilities, including central utility plants and distribution systems and other energy intensive operations, that constitute at least 75% of facility energy use. The DON definition follows the DUERS Guidance (Ref. j) which clarifies covered facilities as 'DUERS Goal Subject Facilities (iNFADS infrastructure), enclosed, portable or re-locatable structures serviced by utilities.

3. Curtailment, load shedding demand response, and interruptible utility commodity service agreements allow for the ability to reduce the demand for a specific source of energy when requested.

Many commercial suppliers provide economic incentives for coordinating t}'Pes of agreements.

4. Distributed Energy Resources (DER) are resources that can be operated in parallel (or in synch) with commercial power or that can be operated synchronously with all assets online during an islanding event. Note that some forms of emergency generation do not fit this definition. These systems may not be designed to run for long periods (as opposed to units that are "continuous" or "primary power" rated) , may not have appropriately rated or configured switchgear to synchronize to a grid, or may not have environmental ratings to allow long run times (such as a "Tier 3" or "Tier 4" EPA designation).

5. Renewable energy goals are based on the percentage of energy derived from renewable- (or alternative) sources of energy.

Renewable energy resources contribute to energy supply diversification and can extend the hours of operation from other forms of fuel storage.

6. Smart Grid is a cyber-secure integration of distribution system automation, system control and data acquisition (SCADA), building energy management and control systems, and AMI. It is a mechanism to optimize the use of equipment and facilities to better manage cost and resources.

Section 2 Performance Criteria - Reliability, Resiliency, and Efficiency

The DON recommends the following integrated performance criteria for reliability, resiliency, and efficiency:

Reliabil i t y

1 . For utility reliability, DON shall employ the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Standard IEEE 1366 Guide for Electric Power Distribution Reliability Indices (Ref. k) .

Metrics for reliability of the electric system can be measured b y tracking the duration and frequency of electrical outages. The indices include IEEE 1366 System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), and Availabi l ity. SAIDI, SAIFI, and Availability are universally accepted terms commonly used as reliability indicators by electric power utilities.

a. SAIDI : The System Average Interruption Duration Index is the yearly average outage duration for each customer (Building, Pier, and Facility) served. SAIDI is calculated as the total number of customer outage minutes per year divi ded by the total number of customers served in a defined area . The uni ts of measure are minutes/year.

Example PWD Norfolk FY16 SAIDI = Sum of customer outage durations (min) I Sum of Customers SAIDI 370,221 customer minutes I 920 customers SAIDI = 402 [System Average Outage Duration (minutes/year)]

b. SAIFI : The System Average Interruption Frequency I ndex is the yearly average number of interruption occurrences that a customer (Building, Pier , or Facility) experienced . SAIFI is calculated as the total number of customer interruptions divided by the total number of customers served in a defined area. The units of measure are outage occurrences/year.

Example PWD Norfolk FY16 SAIFI Sum of customer outages / Sum of Customers SAIFI = 816 customer outages / 920 customers SAIFI = 0.89 [System Average Outage Frequency (outage occurrences/year)]

c. Availability:

Minimum Seven days either in a dedicated on-site main fuel tank or from a confirmed

Fuel delivery source. When the seven day requirement is accomplished by a deli very

Requirement source, provide each generator set with a minimum local 24 hour capacity tank based on the full-load fuel consumption rate of the engine.

2. In accordance with current UFC requirements, each DON installation shall meet the minimum electrical resiliency requirements summarized in Table 2.

a. The minimum requirement (UFC 3-540-0l (Ref. 1)) for fuel storage is seven days either in a dedicated on-site main fue·l tank or from a confirmed delivery source. When the seven-day requirement is accomplished by a delivery source, provide each generator set with a minimum local 24-hour capacity tank based on the full-load fuel consumption rate of the engine.

b. The storage requirement can be adjusted by the Regional Commander if it is documented in writing that mission operations require a different operational duration.

Facilities that have more stringent requirements than the UFC minimum are noted on Table 2.

c. Additionally, some facilities are planned and designed for specialized resiliency requirements not captured by the category codes in Table 2. Where CATCODES do not address the requirement, consider resiliency requirements identified in the facility's specific Basic Facility Requirements (BFR) document.

3. For Installations within electrical reliability benchmarks set in Table 1, there may be a business case to increase resiliency if the cost impact of an electrical outage or multiple outages exceeds the investment cost of the resiliency improvement. For example, if a Navy shipyard experiences an extended, unplanned electrical outage, the stranded labor and productivity costs will likely dramat.ically exceed the cost of installing backup generators. Investments that directly improve the electrical system's reliability should be considered as potentially cost-effective solutions.

a. The Department of Energy has developed a methodology to determine cost impacts of outages documented in the National Renewable Energy Laboratory study Valuing .Energy Security:

Customer Damage Function Methodology and Case Studies at DoD Installations (Ref. m). Additional details including a sample busine·ss case analysis are displayed in Section 5 of the study.

4. If an activity is considering a central plant, microgrid and/or distributed generation system as an e_ngineered so.lution to improve resiliency, minimum existing resiliency requirements include, but are not limited to, those found in Table 2. Facility-spe·cific BFR and UFC must be met. Additional guidance on microgrids can be found in P-601 (Microgrid Design Guide) (Ref. g) .

Efficiency

1. Efficiency is a key component of Energy Security. Minimizing energy use directly saves resources, reduces the size of resiliency solutions, extends the operational duration of stored fuel, and provides general benefits that result from less energy to secure. Aligned with SECNAV INSTRUCTION 4101.3A, (Department of the Navy Energy Program (Ref. n), the Navy will optimize energy efficiency and shore operational effectiveness across all installations. Effective efficiency programs include cap~ble energy data management and analytics; planning, programming and execution of diverse energy projects across all funding streams;

and integration of IT systems to enhance capabilities, which may include advanced technology such as AMI, SCADA, or Direct Digital C,ontrol (DDC), per Table 3, Energy Efficiency Benchmark Criteria.

Actively managing facilities with critical loads and the highest potential for consumption reduction will enable cost-effective facility management, optimized load management, demand response programs, and enhanced energy reliability and resiliency.

Integrating DDC and central energy management and controls at facilities with the highest energy reduction potential will further increase opportunities to meet all mission essential energy security requirements.

Section 3 Best Practices

The DON shall approach Energy Readiness by systematically engaging in best practices on an ongoing day-to-day, month-to-month, and year-to year basis to improve energy reliability, resiliency, and efficiency.

Reliability

Reliability is closely tied to the transmission and distribution system of the utility provider, configuration, condition and age of installation distribution systems and completion of a rigorous preventive maintenance program.

Best Practices :

1. Assess utility infrastructure . Conduct utilities infrastructure condition assessments and electrical utility system assessments to assess utility risk and perform periodic inspections. Conduct utility deep dives, Nodal analysis, or root cause analysis for systems that are underperforming towards reliability goals.

2. Tracking and reporting utility outages is essential in order to make informed programmatic decisions for utility investments . Report planned and unplanned outages in MAXIMO in compliance with BMS B-

5. 2 .14 Utility Outage Reporting and Data Collection (Ref. o).

3. Coordinate and partner with utility provider to reduce outages .

Ensure utility providers maintain their rights of ways with active vegetation and animal management to avoid easily preventable outages.

4. Coordinate and partner with commercial utility to provide route diversity to improve utility reliabi l ity. Request and negotiate with commercial utility providers for dual circuits to an installation's primary electric substations to improve energy security when cost effective. Where these substations are equipped only with a single transformer, request and negotiate with the commercial power provider to install a second transformer in parallel for system redundancy .

5. Comply with standard practices to improve reliability . Complete and maintain over-current protection coordination studies (every 5 years) per National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) , Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards to limit cascading failures.

6. Execute preventive maintenance (PM} on electrical systems in accordance with industry standards (ANSI/NETA MTS) ,DODI 4170.11 (Ref. p), and UFC_3_550_07 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE EXTERIOR POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS 2017-01 - 19 OMT (Ref. q) to optimize equipment life and reliability. PM should include updates to equipment condition ratings in MAXIMO.

7. Improve/coordinate preventive maintenance activities to improve reliability.

a. Maintain protective relay Coordination in consideration of current loads to identify potential over-sensitivity settings or calibration drift.

b. Review critical energy and generation capacity requirements and compare them to available generation capacity, including energy storage if available, to ascertain the effects of load growth and changes in equipment status on islanding capacity and resiliency.

B. Prioritize major maintenance repairs, MILCON recapitalization, ESPC and UESC projects for efficiency and reliability as part of Master Planning activities with consideration of longer range issues, such as equipment retirements and installation changes anticipated for the near term and future in accordance and consideration with BMS B- 5 .2 .11 Utility Strategic Investment Plan (Ref. r).

9. Reduce delivered fuels dependence. Investigate the cost availability and cost effectiveness of centralized natural gas distribution. Plan fuel switching and utilize renewable energy investments to reduce financial exposure to volatility in fuel markets and to improve the installation's duration in the event of an energy supply…
