Based off the example below how could I categorize each column and score each column based off of: Thank you! As a manager overseeing an enterprise-level portfolio for a large utility company, you have limited capital dollars available for investment in necessary projects.

The state regulatory commission controls the amount of profit that can be obtained from residential power generation, so the company prefers to pursue other sources of income that are not profit restricted. Commercial generation is favored due to its lower operational costs. International business operations have proved unreliable, despite their potential for substantial profits.

The company has publicly announced its commitment to cleaner energy sources, which entails replacing or converting coal-burning plants to integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), decommissioning older plants that cannot be converted, and adding new plants to produce energy via wind, solar, and water.

There are also regulatory-driven projects that must be executed to comply with NERC, FERC, and other regulatory bodies. The company prioritizes limiting operational costs while ensuring that all internal hardware and software is supported by the vendor to mitigate technology risks.

Additionally, the company is expected to clean up retired plant sites and contribute to the communities in which they provide power service. Any projects initiated and funded must be appropriately documented and communicated.

This year, the company is willing to invest $6.75 billion in projects, with over $8 billion in potential projects submitted.

The Catawba-Wateree project provides 819 megawatts (MW) of clean, economical, and renewable power, which on average is enough electricity to power 103,000 homes. The original license was issued by the FERC in 1958 as Duke Energy was building the 11th and largest reservoir on the Catawba River - Lake Norman.
