One of the top constraints to new projects in energy and infrastructure across the states is transmission and interconnection. 

• What pathways are there to improve the backlog of transmission projects?

• What developers are seeking from regulators for interconnection reform

• Marrying grid resilience for renewable resources with extreme weather- related resilience

RNG and biofuels have become an exciting proposition for developers and lenders – if they can get the pricing right. Biomass represented 1.3% of the total generation mix in the US in 2022; a number set to grow in 2023 with at least five projects either reaching financial close or upsizing their plants in the last year. This panel of sponsors and developers explores: 

• Cost considerations for developers and offtakers; shaping up against natural gas
• Pricing and transportation factors for lenders
• How do you manage feedstock risk considerations?

A pivotal asset class within both electrification and the energy transition, as well as providing a true bridge between core and core+ infrastructure asset classes, EV charging continues to be a market with an exponential growth curve. Independent charging groups, independent and established auto-manufacturers, utilities and state and local governments are all racing to answer the massive demand, as well as truly understand the implications of an electrified transportation economy. 

• The role of EV in providing grid stability during peak hours; utility role in supporting buildout of EVs

• What other opportunities are there for both residential and fleet EV infrastructure?
