Details

The summit is the best place to meet and learn from developers, asset owners, QSEs, offtakers, financiers, investors, and other key players as they discuss the booming opportunities and looming challenges in today’s renewables environment. This must-attend event is where you will get the most advanced current understanding of critical issues like PUCT’s proposed performance credit mechanism, resource adequacy, power prices, project siting and bankability, and how to best meet the shifting needs of commercial, industrial, and retail customers, with a special focus on data centers, crypto miners, and other large energy users.

Why you should attend:
• Explore PCM and other ERCOT market rule changes, and how they will affect procedures, expectations, and the fundamentals that will drive the market in 2023 and beyond
• Evaluate the current market dynamics and financing environment of wind, solar, storage, and hybrid projects
• Hear how the IRA’s changes affect project finance in Texas, as well as the interplay between new state rules and federal incentives
• Learn what drives large energy users and other offtaker procurement decisions, as well as how deployment affects the grid, financeability, future load projections, and contract negotiations
• Grasp 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!
• Understand how the new state legislation might affect both power prices and renewables projects, and hear expert opinions on timelines, potential stumbling blocks, and strategies to move projects forward
