Event Name: 2018 Texas Renewable Energy Summit

Event Date(s): September 5-7, 2018

Event Location: Sheraton Austin Hotel at the Capitol, 701 E 11th St, Austin, TX 78701

Event Description:

Main Summit

The renewable energy market is exploding in Texas! 20.2 MW of utility-scale solar is projected to come online in ERCOT by 2031 and more than an additional 10 GW in wind. This makes Texas one of the biggest renewables opportunities in the country. Yet, success in the Texas marketplace won’t be a slam-dunk. In fact, the market is filled with plenty of uncertainty and risks. Where will the offtakers come from — and what are they looking for? What will the market fundamentals look like going forward and where are power prices headed? What will get built of the tens of thousands of megawatts in the ERCOT interconnection queue? Will additional transmission be built or will congestion become a growing problem? How do you put together economically viable, innovatively structured and ultimately long-term profitable projects? These are just some of the tough questions that challenge the renewables community. Those with the best market insight will be the players who succeed.

At the Texas Renewable Energy Summit, cities, municipal utilities, cooperatives, corporate offtakers, and retail electric providers will join the renewable energy community to get the latest insights into the Texas renewables market. It will be a valuable venue for:

• Renewable buyers to share their needs and sellers to discuss potential solutions
• Learning about the key trends shaping the Texas renewables market

Pre-Summit Executive Briefing:
The Fundamentals That Will Drive the Texas Renewable Market
Sharpen your game plan for the Texas market by delving into the market fundamentals that will shape the future of renewables in the state. The Briefing will assess the fundamentals and look at market design issues, transmission planning and other key elements to enable you to make good investment decisions.

Event Name: 2018 Infocast Storage Week

Event Date(s): February 27 – March 1, 2018

Event Location: Hotel Kabuki, 1625 Post Street, San Francisco, CA 94115

Event Description:
In 2017 energy storage inextricably moved beyond a focus on pilot projects: utilities are planning to procure an ever-increasing amount of grid-connected storage, while developers are looking to deploy grid-connected and BTM storage. Storage is being proposed as the solution to firm renewables to meet ever expanding RPS goals, to replace peaker plants, as an adjunct to solar projects, as virtual power plants (VPPs), and as a means to defer utility investment in traditional T&D technologies. However, to fuel storage market expansion sponsors must convince utilities and financiers that significant cost reductions are possible, and that proposed revenue streams are viable.

Now in its eleventh year, Storage Week 2018 is the global business hub driving the development and finance of energy storage projects. This year we will feature detailed case studies of implemented projects, providing long sought after information on the realities of how EPC issues have been handled, the realities of stacking value streams and their impacts on revenue streams, the state of the art in project structuring and contracting, and more! Join the senior executives and active financiers at the forefront of deploying behind the meter and grid-connected energy storage systems as they explore the road to bankable projects!
