Wind Power Finance & Investment Summit USA 2022 | Solar Media Limited | 4 October 2022 | The New Yorker Hotel, 481 8th Ave, New York, NY 10001, USA

The US wind sector has seen a dramatic rise in investment, financing options, and government endorsement, and in 2021 made up 8% of the nation’s energy amid a 24% annual growth rate. The opportunity facing developers, utilities, investors and consumers is becoming more promising, with 39GW of onshore and offshore wind in the pipeline.

Despite the nation’s commitments to wind energy, there are still fundamental questions surrounding future legislative support, the risk and reward scenario regarding offshore investment, and how emerging offtake structures will disrupt the energy industry.

Solar Media’s launch this event will answer these questions in September, alongside industry leaders from government, banking, investment firms, law firms, developers and utilities in the US wind sector.
