RE+ celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2024! RE+ 24 brings the modern energy industry together to foster a cleaner future and marks its 20th year as the largest and most comprehensive event in North America for the clean energy industry. What began as Solar Power International (SPI) has evolved into RE+, uniting an extensive alliance of renewable energy leaders for multiple days of programming and networking opportunities. Today, RE+ incorporates business opportunities and education content across the clean energy industry including solar, energy storage, hydrogen, microgrids, EV charging and infrastructure, and wind energy.
Developed by the nation’s leading clean energy organizations, the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), RE+ reflects an ongoing entrepreneurial approach to renewing best practices across the clean energy landscape as the marketplace evolves. Unlike other industry events, all proceeds from RE+ events support the expansion of the energy industry through SEIA and SEPA’s year-round research and education activities, and extensive advocacy and advisory efforts. Our primary mission is to deliver on the missions of both SEIA and SEPA in a way that strengthens the industry domestically and globally, through networking and education, and by creating an energetic and engaging marketplace to connect buyers and suppliers.

Texas Clean Energy
2024-09-24 - 2024-09-26 | Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa, Autograph Collection, 555 S Alamo St, San Antonio, TX, 78205, United States
Load growth in the Lone Star State has exceeded all expectations. Large energy users like crypto, data centers, and post-IRA manufacturing as well as the state’s rising population are creating massive load increases. Despite great uncertainty caused by the impacts of recently implemented reforms, still-to-be implemented reforms, and proposed-but-not-yet-enacted legislation, the situation holds enormous opportunities for renewables development.
To seize these opportunities, however, a deep understanding of changes ongoing in the Texas power markets is required. Business planning has never been more challenging. The best possible comprehension of numerous rule reform impacts on the Texas power grid and Phase 2 of ERCOT market redesign is essential. At the same time, developers, financiers, and other stakeholders need accurate analyses of the consequences of proposed new policies, extreme weather, and price volatility in the ERCOT market.
Infocast’s Texas Clean Energy Summit is the best place to meet and learn from policy makers, as well as the state’s most active developers, asset owners, QSEs, offtakers, financiers, investors, and other key players. This remarkable group will discuss the booming opportunities and looming challenges in today’s renewables environment. This is a can’t miss opportunity to get the most advanced current understanding of critical issues like:

PCM and other ERCOT market rule changes, and how they will affect procedures, expectations, and the fundamentals that will drive the market in 2024 and beyond
The current market dynamics, business models, and financing environment of wind, solar, storage, and hybrid projects; including how the IRA’s changes affect projects in Texas
The new firming requirements affecting wind and solar – will this super-charge the already big storage boom in the state?
Today’s strategies for mitigating transmission congestion and basis risk while balancing reliability issues, the integration of DERs & VPPs, and preparing for the future of the Texas grid
The needs and expectations of large energy users and other offtaker procurement decisions, as well as how they affect the grid, financeability, load projections, and contract negotiations
Proposed new state legislation affecting both power prices and renewables projects – hear expert opinions on timelines, potential stumbling blocks, and strategies to move projects forward

Tax Credits & Transferability 2024: Optimizing Post-IRA Opportunities
2024-09-25 - 2024-09-26 | Houston, TX
Two years ago, the IRA created a revolutionary new regime to provide tax credits for an expanded range of clean energy investments, using tax credit sales to expand the pool of potential investors to include corporations that hitherto had little if any experience in the energy sector, but also introducing a series of adders that could substantially decrease capital costs. While this clearly represented, and represents, a golden opportunity to mobilize funding for a huge number of clean energy projects, it set market participants the task of discovering exactly how to structure financings that could monetize depreciation, capitalize on step-ups in FMV (fair market value), and protect participants when claiming new incentives—all necessary to utilize the full range of capital now available from both traditional tax equity and corporate tax credit buyers.
Today, however, the market is field-testing a series of structures and tools to optimize the financing of a wide variety of projects using the full range of tax credits. What lessons are being learned in newly closed T-flip and transfer deals? How are players dealing with the risks of claiming domestic content, prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA), and energy community incentives? If you want to take full advantage of the remarkable techniques now available to finance traditional solar and wind projects, as well as storage, CCS, RNG, manufacturing, hydrogen, and other new technology projects, you need to fully understand tax equity market conditions and the new structures coming to the fore.
Infocast, in organizing Tax Credits & Transferability 2024: Optimizing Post-IRA Opportunities, has brought together the markets’ leading practitioners, sponsors, and investors to get attendees 100% up to speed on today’s most important issues in this exceedingly dynamic space. You will get critical insights on the development of the transfer market, how to best meet and document compliance with new domestic content, PWA, and energy community requirements, and the ins and outs of tapping into funding through 45Q, 45V, 45X, and 45Z credits, and more.
No other event can provide you with the type of deep dive — guided by active market players — that you will find here into the following essential topics:

Building Tax Credit Transferability Deal Flow—Roles of Banks, Brokers, Platforms, and Other Players

Solar & Storage Finance USA
2024-10-22 - 2024-10-23 | 360 Madison Avenue, 360 Madison Avenue, New York, NY, 10017, United States
Solar remains the fastest-growing renewable source in the United States fueled by favorable tax credits available through the $369 billion Inflation Reduction Act. Planned solar projects are forecasted to surge by 38%* in 2024 bringing total US PV capacity to 131 GW by the end of the year.
Following in step with U.S. PV capacity, U.S. battery storage capacity could double by the end of 2024. Planned and operational U.S. utility-scale BESS capacity combined totalled 16GW** at the close of 2023. Developers are expected to add 15 GW to this total by the end of this year.
Growth in U.S. battery storage will continue as asset owners seek to shield themselves from variable solar generation by capturing otherwise curtailed power and leveraging energy arbitrage.
So, what does this all mean? 2024 promises to be a growth year for the deployment, financing, and investment of both U.S. solar and storage.
Returning for its 11th edition, Solar and Storage Finance USA Summit remains the annual event where decision-makers at the forefront of solar and storage projects across the United States and capital converge. Featuring the most active solar and storage transactors, join us for a packed two-days of deal-making, learning and networking.
