Now the IRA has established a 10-year window for tax credit structures and incentives supporting renewable energy development, long term certainty has gripped the solar and storage market. What financial, developmental, and political opportunities does the decade ahead hold?

Our headline speaker explores the opportunities currently at our fingertips and the opportunities ahead we dare not miss.

Speaker

Director of Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO),
Department of Energy
09:50 - 10:30 Keynote Panel
  • How are stakeholders optimizing tax credits and incentives at both the federal and state level?
  • What types of transactions have closed since the IRA's passage and what are the trends going forward?
  • How has appetite changed for solar, co-located storage and standalone storage?
  • What technologies have become de-risked enough to be adopted at scale?
  • How are developers complying with new wage and apprenticeship requirements to maximize new tax credit structures?

  • As the battery storage industry grows from MW-sized projects to GW-scale portfolios, what level of scrutiny should the sector expect form regulators, insurers, AHJs, and other stakeholders on storage system performance and safety?
  • Addressing fire safety concerns with more exhaustive burn testing, greater transparency, and cross-functional industry collaboration.
  • Mitigating project risk and maximizing development success by meeting key concerns around battery storage permitting, fire safety, financing, and insurability.

Over the course of 2023, the US expects to see more than half of new electric-generating capacity come from solar with 29.1GW forecasted to come from solar and 9.4GW from battery storage as modelled by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. This keynote address provides insight into how the sector can boost increased investment and deployment into solar and storage, and the work ongoing across the regulatory landscape to unlock projects:

  • How are national and regional regulators approaching distributed energy storage, grid investments, grid modernization and payment models?
