Significant decisions will soon be made regarding the future of the current programs intended to support renewable financing, to say nothing of the even more significant decisions under active discussion regarding national energy policy and carbon regulation. Clearly, renewable market participants need to understand the current status of these ongoing developments in order to posture themselves to profit. Key decision-makers and private sector experts will lay out the latest word on the impacts of domestic US and international public policy for renewable project finance and development.

The leaders of the North American project finance community will gather in Washington, DC to assess current market conditions and lay plans for the future of renewable energy finance. They will analyze the creative deal structures and new financing sources involved in the first round of projects taking advantage of ARRA financing programs. They will also provide critical insights for developers into the evolving needs of renewable project debt and equity investors. Even as these sources of renewable project capital have begun to increase their activity in the market, their needs and risk appetites have shifted, and accommodating those changes will be essential to obtain financing and capital in the new era, whether projects utilize the ARRA funding mechanisms or not.
