Mountain West Renewables Summit
2023-11-07 - 2023-11-08 | Sheraton Salt Lake City Hotel, Salt Lake City, UT, United States
Opportunities for clean energy continue to grow at an exponential rate across the Mountain West. Spurred by the incentives created by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment Act, utilities, local and state governments, and LSEs and corporates from Montana to Arizona and from Idaho to New Mexico are procuring ever increasing amounts of renewables and energy storage to ensure they meet climate and decarbonizations goals–including growing EV charging load–as well as ambitious renewable portfolio standard targets.
To seize these opportunities, however, players must deal with the interconnection and transmission bottlenecks caused by changing resources and customer demand across the West, handle continuing supply chain volatility, re-orient their procurement strategies to take advantage of new domestic manufacturing resources and qualify for related tax incentives, as well as cope with the resulting cost and schedule uncertainty in order to get their storage and solar projects financed across the region. Moreover, progress towards the development of more formally organized western electricity markets continues and every player in Western power markets needs to understand the business and operational impacts of new initiatives including SPP’s Western Energy Imbalance Service (WEIS) and Markets+, CAISO’s EDAM and Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM), and the possible development of a Western RTO, however designed and administered.
Only those who can keep up with all these developments and learn the innovations being put in place to manage these hurdles will be able to take full advantage of the burgeoning opportunities in this dynamic, eight-state region.
Infocast’s Mountain West Renewables Summit is organized to let you hear directly from the region’s leading energy decision makers. Leading local experts from utilities, local governments, LSE’s and policy makers come together with the regions’ renewable development and finance communities to network and exchange the latest market intelligence on the state and future of the Mountain West energy markets and discuss their needs, challenges, and the initiatives they have underway in light of the tailwinds for the renewables industries provided by the Inflation Reduction Act and the preceding Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This remarkable Summit will provide the perfect venue to take advantage of the vast opportunities for renewable energy procurement, development, and deployment in the Mountain West and move the market forward.

Solar & Storage Finance USA
2023-11-07 - 2023-11-08 | The New Yorker Hotel, New York, NY, United States
2023 is set to be a defining year for solar, storage and Solar Media’s 10th edition finance summit.
Last year saw the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which brings together an estimated $370 billion in federal funding over the next ten years to facilitate clean energy transition in the US. The IRA has immediately impacted the long-term outlook of the solar and storage industry.
Funding remains available for large-scale energy infrastructure drawn from the Department of Energy’s $40 billion loans program. In addition, the IRA is estimated to attract $600 billion in new investment resulting in an additional 222GW of solar installations over the next decade. This is enough to power an additional 165 million US homes.
The picture is similar for storage as the U.S. government has increased investment tax credits to 30% for energy standalone systems. Estimates indicate a further 20.8 GW of utility-scale battery storage will become operational by 2025. To date, 10 states have energy storage specific procurement targets with that list set to grow. The host state of this year’s summit, New York, is expected to incentivize an additional 5GW of residential, commercial, and utility-scale storage onto the grid.
Challenges remain as the sector continues to decode the updated tax credit structures, navigate the hurdles of the current inflationary environment and keep projects to schedule.

Tax Incentives 2023: Optimizing Post-IRA Opportunities
2023-10-02 - 2023-10-03 | JW Marriott Houston by the Galleria, Houston, TX, 77056, United States
The enactment of the IRA radically expands the range of projects able to seek tax equity, traditionally fundamental to the financing of clean energy projects. The potential to layer adders for energy and low-income communities, local content, and other factors to significantly boost returns has made structuring projects even more critical in today’s booming development market. With traditional wind and solar projects now competing with storage, CCUS, hydrogen and other projects for tax equity investment, only those who are fully informed on the latest changes in tax policies, incentives, supply chain requirements and tax equity market conditions will be able to take full advantage of the remarkable clean energy opportunities fostered by the IRA and other recent legislation.
Tax Incentives 2023: Optimizing Post-IRA Opportunities will bring attendees 100% up to speed on today’s most important issues, providing detailed explanations of the solutions being utilized in today’s most advanced clean energy projects. On top of presenting a detailed report on policy innovations and current market conditions, our expert faculty will walk through the seemingly three-dimensional chess game involved in structuring projects to take advantage of multiple available adders while avoiding potential risks and hidden costs, as well as how to best meet and document new wage, apprenticeship and domestic equipment requirements. Leading tax advisors and tax equity providers will also provide insights on the development of the transfer market, when to take the direct payment option, as well as the ins and outs of tapping into funding through expanded 45Q, 45V and 45Z Sections.

Clean Energy Investment Summit
2023-10-02 - 2023-10-03 | JW Marriott Houston by the Galleria, Houston, TX, 77056, United States
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a gamechanger for clean energy investment: creating or increasing long-term federal incentives and funding for nearly every existing asset class — including solar, wind, energy storage, EV and battery production, EV charging infrastructure, RNG, SAF and more — while simultaneously increasing rewards for investing in diverse emerging assets vital to carbon emission reduction, such as carbon capture, clean hydrogen production, and small modular reactors. With more and more companies setting ESG goals and looking for ways to decarbonize, the markets have become super-charged, driving the need for expansion into these new technologies and growth into every aspect of the clean energy supply chain.
However, in such a target-rich environment, investors must understand the interplay between market demand, the pace of the incentive-rich domestic supply chain buildout, and the potential pitfalls in the bill’s many provisions in order to evaluate and profit from the many opportunities now available in the US energy transition.
Infocast’s inaugural Clean Energy Investment Summit will bring together experts, investors, and capital sources to assess the booming opportunities for new investments in the energy transition and provide a clear look at the potential market size and profitability for various asset classes. The meeting will feature leading investors from across the asset spectrum who will discuss their goals and strategies for prioritizing the sector’s wide range of opportunities. This remarkable event provides attendees with the inside scoop on how the interactions of government incentives and supporting supply chains will affect the shape of market development. Network with everyone you need to know to get deals done and:

Examine the investment opportunities opened up by the IRA
Grasp the growth potential & comparative risk assessments for various asset classes
Understand the appetites of financing options: debt market, tax equity market, sponsor market
Assess the financial viability of investment in new asset classes, such as carbon capture and clean hydrogen
Provide up-to-the-minute updates on key policy decisions and legal interpretations
Explore how environmental justice, domestic content and other factors can increase incentives
Investigate the potential for new financial structures
Explore how transferability might be used
