The preferred end-state chosen includes encouraging multiple guarantors organized as privately-owned utilities with a regulated rate of return, according to the announcement on the MBAs website.

The full strategy will be elaborated on in a full paper anticipated to be released in April. The full paper is expected to address multiple issues including ensuring lenders of all sizes and business models are provided the same market access.
