Our Next Seminar & Teleconference

Aggregation of Renewable Energy Assets: Bond Pools, Securitization, and Other Financing Techniques

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 2013

U.S. renewable energy finance is at an important juncture. Wind, solar and other renewable energy costs continue to decline while facing significant competition from low natural gas prices. Policy discussions continue on tax reform and the future of federal tax credits as support for and interest in new mechanisms, such as MLPs, REITs and securitization, gains momentum. Please join leading experts as they discuss the opportunities and challenges relating to scaling up renewable energy finance, asset aggregation, bond pools, securitization and other techniques as the market responds to important U.S. energy market and policy trends.
