The current US Power and Energy landscape is incredibly exciting, but has some bumpy spots in the road upcoming; legislative, permitting, interconnection, liquidity, incumbent generators fighting against new challengers to the market share each present their unique challenge to the market.  We’re starting to see the roadmap for future projects and how all assets within power and energy need to work together to deliver power that is affordable, reliable, and clean.

• How is volatility in the market affecting pricing?
• What outcomes are we seeing from legislative incentives? The Inflation Reduction Act two years in
• Looking towards 2024 - what could a change in leadership signal for energy transition and renewables in the states?

Decarbonization and net zero goals are now a top priority for developers, corporations, funds, and governments internationally. The path to financial close for projects that qualify as transitional can be less than straightforward, with legislative and pricing volatility in the mix, how resilient is the new energy landscape?

• What opportunities within the transition landscape are there for operational decarbonization?

• Are classic project finance structures sufficiently suited to the demands of the energy transition?

• Working with brownfield assets rather than greenfield - what existing infrastructure can provide for modular upgrades

When we talk about DG we talk about the lower cost energy, distribution level capacity, operating reserves and grid resilience – not to mention higher integration of renewable energy to the grid. How big is the opportunity to scale up? Our session leaders will discuss:

• Increased competition - good for consumers, bad for pricing? 

• What benefits does DG provide in terms of resiliency and solving for intermittency and affordability? How can we capitalize on those provisions? 

• Integrating Virtual Power Plants - how can they optimize DG assets? For new capacity deployments, is the centralized utility model economically obsolete?

• What factors help developers identify regions best suited for new buildout?
