About the "State and Federal Regulation and Promotion of Renewable Resources" Program
The program will provide vital information for practitioners, new and experienced in energy matters, representing parties in transactions for renewable resources. The program will begin by providing the audience with an overview of structuring a deal for renewable power from a project finance perspective. Presenters will then walk the audience through the steps involved for the development of both wind and solar resources—from inception to powering up. During the course of the program, presenters will highlight federal and state regulations to be aware of, explain what is involved with interconnecting to the Bulk Power Grid and discuss tax and other incentive programs. The program will conclude with an open discussion about renewable transactions. Our panel of industry insiders will discuss who the typical participants to a deal are, give real-life examples of how deals get financed and share strategies on overcoming hurdles.
Ms. Kessler will discuss the "Anatomy of a Solar Deal," where she will address the following:
- Overview of putting a solar deal together in New Jersey
- Discussion of milestones/ time frame
- Relevant rules and regulations impacting transactions for the development of solar resources
- Environmental and on-site considerations
- Information about New Jersey RPS Program
