Renewable Power Project Finance: The Tutorial
December 12-13, 2006 Austin, TX

Renewables are hot and getting hotter by the day. Renewable projects however, have a variety of constraints and intrinsic economics very different from conventional thermal-energy projects. To gain maximum benefit from the boom in renewables, developers need to get the latest and best insight into the distinct peculiarities of the renewable financing market from the most experienced players in the field.

Renewable Power Project Finance: The Tutorial has one simple goal: to provide the most comprehensive training on how to finance renewable energy projects available anywhere in the world.

Infocast’s Wind Power Finance & Investment conference is well known for being “the” event to attend in order to network with the major wind industry players. Similarly, the Renewable Power Project Finance: The Tutorial conference will be a vital resource for project developers wanting to learn how to structure bankable deals.

Based on repeated requests for another tutorial in 2006, Infocast has scheduled another Renewable Power Project Finance: The Tutorial. The tutorial again follows the format of our well regarded and long-running Project Finance: The Tutorial. The conference includes a day of in-depth coverage on how to structure a renewable deal to best gain access to financing, followed by a half day of case studies to explore how to overcome the hurdles that arise in real world projects. Additionally, the tutorial will provide a unique opportunity to network with a large group of developers, lenders, investors, and experts eager to learn and share their experiences.

You will learn:
  • How to structure bankable deals specific to the renewable sector
  • How to optimize the economics of renewable projects
  • How to account for intermittency, location constraints, transmission interconnection issues in agreements and PPAs for wind, solar and biomass projects
  • How to structure projects to take maximum advantage of the growing variety of different carbon offsets, incentives, and tax breaks
  • How to assess the technical, construction and operational risk factors specific to wind, solar, and biomass projects
  • How to anticipate and overcome real-world hurdles—hear the lessons learned in case studies of wind, solar, and biomass projects
A daylong Pre-Conference Workshop titled: Fundamentals of Project Finance precedes the tutorial.
