Powering the Future: Unprecedented Opportunities in the Midcontinent Region

The Midcontinent region needs a lot of power—renewable power, gas generation, firming power, utility-scale, distributed energy resources, and a lot more transmission infrastructure. With an ambitious goal of adding 17 GW of new resources annually for the next 20 years and a $32 billion commitment to transmission buildout, MISO is setting the stage for the largest grid expansion in U.S. history. Unprecedented opportunities abound for energy sector stakeholders who are best prepared to seize the moment.

However, navigating the rapidly evolving energy market requires more than just ambition. Success demands a focused strategy and a granular understanding of the challenges, including:

  • Interconnection queue uncertainties: Stay ahead in a shifting regulatory landscape
  • Siting & permitting roadblocks: Learn how to overcome development hurdles
  • Finance & tax equity strategies: Gain a deeper understanding of current trends in project finance and the tax equity/transferability markets
  • Risk mitigation in project development: Identify the risks in project development and learn how to protect your investments

The path forward requires precision and expertise.

Infocast presents a singular program, Midcontinent Energy Summit, to assist in these endeavors. An unparalleled, expert faculty of policymakers, regulators, LSEs, developers, insurance providers, tax equity experts, financiers, and other leading authorities will deliver invaluable insights into the market dynamics shaping the development and finance of utility-scale wind and solar, thermal resources, storage, community solar, DERs, and evolving decarbonizing technologies in the MISO states.

Join us for the kind of deep dive you won’t find anywhere else into the high-stakes opportunities driving the future of energy in the Midcontinent region.
