Stock, contract, capital and market access changed today. The common move is not more flow now, but more room to absorb pressure, finance capacity or redirect future supply.

Guarantees move financial capacity toward a physical grid bottleneck. The investment is enabled, not yet built.
CHAIN OF THE DAY
Capital→Grid equipment→Grid connection→Power→End users
The guarantee does not build the grid today. It moves financing capacity toward the equipment constraint.
