These were same areas that the US proposal indicated would benefit from Power plant barges. The electricity suppliers there might take 10 years for paperwork- but the barges designed and built in old sub building yards can be moved almost any place in world that has moderate depth of water. French noted they can make a similar design and sell to politically nervous about Russia- French currently selling and building their land based compact designs to some other countries. RN
