“…[T]he company is restaffing in order to produce wind turbine components for projects located outside the U.S……[S]ome of the company’s [upcoming] decisions will be based on the results of further guidance from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department on the definition of what constitutes ‘begin construction’ in order for projects to qualify for the PTC…”
