Is he actually overpromising in this particular case? He seems to have rolled out similar albeit smaller systems elsewhere.

the AOL keyword there is “smaller”. This is an island of 3.4 million that urgently needs a power grid

It has to be a city-by-city rollout. PR is forced (alas!) to rebuild their grid, this offers a unique chance to do it green.
