Utility Scale Solar & Wind North America 2022 | Reuters Events | 21 June 2022 | The Westin Galleria Dallas, 13340 Dallas Pkwy, Dallas, TX 75240, USA

This event is on an unstoppable trajectory. While scaling up is essential to our renewable goals it brings with it growing pains in operational and commercial asset management, combined with a new wave of investors demanding top financial performance, there has never been a more important time to achieve an equilibrium across your wind and solar portfolios.

Interconnection costs, the rising price of labour, and PPA compression are amongst some of the heaviest hitting challenges facing an asset manager in the current climate. Pushing projects over the threshold into financial unviability.

Reuters Event program will unite developers, owners, operators, asset managers and utilities in how to achieve the optimal asset management. Striking the balance between output, costs and returns. Delving deep into operational strategy, leveraging innovative technologies, streamlining costs and making contracts work for you.

If you are an asset manager, asset owner, operator, utility, OEM, investor or part of the supply chain, this is your perfect opportunity to set your strategy for optimal portfolio performance.
