Energy Storage USA
2024-03-19 - 2024-03-20 | DoubleTree by Hilton, 6505 N Interstate Hwy 35, Austin, TX, 78752, United States
America’s Largest Energy Storage Event returns to Austin in March, taking place at a new and improved venue for 2024!
The US remains at the center of the global energy storage industry, with California having surpassed 5GW of grid-scale energy storage installations this year, ERCOT going from strength to strength and new markets across the country opening up. Canada is also becoming more competitive, particularly in provinces like Ontario and Alberta.
Energy storage is no longer an aside or a luxury; it is a necessity if we want to reach our global net-zero goals and stay on track.

With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, it’s important to consider the lay of the land in a post-IRA world, how the industry has adapted to these new market conditions along with how market players are striving to overcome any teething problems stemming from the IRA.
Key topics will include forecasting and analyzing emerging markets, resource planning, financial structures, revenue strategies and the nuances of developing storage in a post-IRA world. We are also excited to put a huge focus on networking at the event in 2024, so look out for new and improved networking opportunities such as interactive roundtables, workshops and technical 101 sessions.
Energy Storage Summit USA 2024 will provide the perfect platform to connect key industry players across the entire value chain in a buzzing US market. Hosted in Texas, a renewable and business hub, as well as the driving force behind many energy storage installations in the US this year, Austin is the perfect place to connect the industry to tackle most critical issues in the industry.
The Energy Storage Summit USA is the only place where you are guaranteed to meet all the most important investors, developers, IPPs, RTOs and ISOs, policymakers, utilities, energy buyers, service providers, consultancies and technology providers in one room, to ensure that your deals get done as efficiently as possible.

Renewable Energy Revenues Summit USA
2024-04-10 - 2024-04-11 | Marriott Las Colinas, 223 W Las Colinas Blvd., Dallas, TX, 75039, United States
Q4 2023 showed a 4.5 GW increase in corporate PPAs. As for previous quarters, much (2.8 GW) of this activity circled around the technology and telecoms space with small scale C&I (852 MW) and large industrials (457 MW) making up significant chunks of this growth. This was driven by high power prices and soaring costs elsewhere prompting corporates to seek out certainty.
PPA prices are set to come down and this will force competition amongst generators, vying to win business and add value to the bottom line.
To bring buyers and sellers of power together, the Renewable Energy Revenues Summit USA will cover strategies to optimize renewable energy trading, procurement, and offtake structures across U.S. markets.
By participating in the event, you can help facilitate transactions involving large volumes of clean, green power across the U.S., making renewable energy trading more rewarding and less risky for all parties involved.

Large Scale Solar USA
2024-05-01 - 2024-05-02 | Marriott Las Colinas, 223 W Las Colinas Blvd., Dallas, TX, 75039, United States
In just Q1 2023, US solar marked an unprecedented milestone, installing a staggering 6.1 GWdc of capacity. It’s not just any record; it’s the industry’s most dynamic start to any year.
The driving force behind this unparalleled growth? Utility-scale solar installations, which surged by 66% compared to the first quarter of 2022. The US Energy Information Administration forecasts more than half of new US generating capacity in 2023 will be solar-powered.
As we set our sights on achieving 1TW solar capacity by 2035, our horizon is both promising and challenging. On one hand, we have IRA incentives, ambitious decarbonization targets, and a resurgence of US manufacturing. On the other, we face grid congestion, workforce dynamics, and supply chain intricacies. How do we harness these opportunities and navigate the headwinds to accelerate deployment?
Nestled in Dallas, Texas, Large Scale Solar USA Summit 3rd Edition is the nexus for project developers, capital providers, utilities, asset managers, and policymakers. Dive deep into the solar industry’s transformative growth, learn from the best, and discover strategies to boost utility-scale solar deployment nationwide.

Midcontinent Clean Energy
2024-08-20 - 2024-08-21 | Marriott Indianapolis North, 3645 River Crossing Parkway, Indianapolis, IN, 46240, United States
The MISO region has become a dynamic area for renewable development and other decarbonization activities. Driven by a slate of utility and public power RFPs, state and local clean energy goals, new legislation easing siting constraints, and the eagerness of both C&I and residential consumers for renewable energy, renewable development across MISO has also been turbocharged by the new IRA incentives in the region, which is well-supplied with energy communities and other adder-eligible sites.
However, taking maximum advantage of these significant opportunities requires a thorough grasp of MISO specific challenges. Without a deep understanding of MISO’s unique interconnection processes and procedures, getting through the queue can be both lengthy and costly, and subject to many uncertainties. Transmission expansion and upgrades in the region are vital to many projects, but acquiring the most up-to-date information on evolving topics such as where new lines will be built, when, and how the costs incurred will be shared, remains essential. While the IRA has made aspects of project financings in the region easier, detailed knowledge of how the new tax credits and adders are impacting today’s financings and project valuations, as well as understanding the current state of the tax equity/transfer markets, is critical for optimizing project development and finance. Learning industry best practices for coping with supply constraints and long wait times can make the difference in keeping a project on schedule or even feasible. Moreover, keeping up with today’s advances in community engagement can allow projects to move forward against the tide of anti-renewable misinformation, which is widespread across the region.
To provide the kind of deep dive you won’t find anywhere else into the special opportunities of MISO renewable development, the region’s particular challenges and the solutions being crafted by active professionals to meet them, Infocast is bringing together a remarkable group of policymakers, leading developers and financiers, technical experts, C&I customers and utility executives. They will provide their collective insights into the special issues and practices around the development and finance of utility scale wind and solar, storage, community solar, decarbonization and other projects in a specifically MISO context. There is no other event that will provide this type of focus and relevant expertise for this region. Please review our detailed agenda and reserve your place today!

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:

Emerging Structures for Post-IRA Tax Equity and Transferability Transactions—Traditional, T-Flip, and Transfer Deals
Building Tax Credit Transferability Deal Flow—Roles of Banks, Brokers, Platforms, and Other Players
Negotiating Post-IRA Deals Incorporating Tax Equity—Strategies for New Risk Allocation and Assignment Concerns

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.
