Danielle Varnell will moderate a panel titled “New Trends & Challenges in Development” at the Infocast Solar + Wind Finance & Investment Summit. This session focuses on the project execution landscape for developers and explores what the market might look like for projects starting construction in 2024 and beyond. Top developers will discuss strategies for navigating the evolving tax equity and credit landscape, capital markets, equipment procurement, labor issues, interconnection challenges, and other risks, while offering their predictions for the future.
Topics of discussion include:
- Market Outlook: What does project development look like for the next few years? How might developers collaborate with utilities or other partners to enable thoughtful expansion?
- Tax Equity and Credit Markets: How have developers adjusted their expectations and plans in light of recent changes to tax equity and credit markets? Are new financing structures affecting development timelines or procedures?
- Risk Mitigation: How are developers addressing risks such as inflation, permitting challenges, transmission constraints, trade policies, and workforce limitations? What roles do capital costs and debt availability play in decision-making?
- Domestic Manufacturing: Are large equipment deals now a requirement for scaling operations? Is the “safe harbor” provision providing enough certainty to support these investments?
