Solar + Wind Finance & Investment Summit 2025 | Infocast | 16 March 2025 | Arizona Biltmore, LXR Hotels & Resorts, 2400 E Missouri Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85016, USA

Two years into the Inflation Reduction Act and the industry adapted to expanded tax credits and the new tax credit sales market with vigor, as inflation eased and interest rates began to lower. However, tariff concerns, transmission and interconnection reforms, and the Trump administration's new policy goals introduced uncertainty into plans and expectations industry-wide. The Trump administration has declared an energy emergency, halted the disbursement of IRA and IIJA funds, and stalled permitting for wind projects on federal lands and waters, effectively stopping new offshore wind writ large. How will these Executive Orders affect the markets, and what does the new administration's policies mean for equipment pricing, corporate tax rates, federal agencies, and permitting? What other changes are ahead? While much is still unknown, the future of energy policy in the US will be in flux, and participants may need to pivot those plans and expectations accordingly.

Mingle with other C-Suite executives at the preeminent networking event for leaders in finance, solar, wind, and storage, top-rated by attendees as the place where deals and valuable business connections are made.
