Financing Wind Power:
Innovative Strategies for Campus The Future of Energy
May 7 - 9, 2008
The Phoenician
Scottsdale, AZ
Conference Overview
There are tremendous opportunities presenting themselves in the wind energy field.
Although less than one percent of the nation's electricity is currently supplied
by wind power, experts have concluded that with today's technology there is-theoretically-
enough wind power potential in the United States to supply all of the Nation's electricity,
and sufficient wind for commercial power production can be found in at least 46
states. The Bush administration has also stated that wind energy can provide as
much as 20 percent of the Nation's energy needs. Given America's focus on the environment
and its quest for alternative energy sources, legislative and administrative proposals
are pending that could make this a reality.
This three-day conference will focus on:
- current debt and tax credit equity structures for wind financing, providing a solid
understanding of how deals come together;
- up-to-date information on pending legislation and current federal and state policies
for wind energy;
- techniques for minimizing permitting, zoning, environmental, and other regulatory
roadblocks;
- best practices for financing, warranties, and debt and tax structuring, including
addressing investor concerns;
- special issues and tactics for locally owned, locally beneficial community wind
projects; and
- methods for raising capital to fuel wind energy companies.
