Origis Energy Services is proud to sponsor the annual Infocast Southeast Renewable Energy summit again, on October 28-30, in Charlotte, NC.  Chris Lane from Origis Energy will participate in a panel discussion on growth and hurdles in renewable energy in the Southeast. 

PANEL: Profiting from Growing Demand and Overcoming Renewable Energy Development Hurdles in the Southeast

Synopsis

The IRA, market forces and the permitting environment are radically changing the development game in the Southeast. Energy community and other adders are driving developers to re-map project siting paradigms, while increasing capex and EPC costs are driving negotiations around PPAs. Local pushback on solar is in many areas limiting the ability to efficiently site solar, but a general increase in price curves due to natural gas prices could emphasize the relative value of renewable energy.

This panel will address how these market forces are changing development, and the potential solutions they are using.

• What is being seen regarding PPA pricing in the Southeast, and how that is affecting project development and financing?
• How is the load growth from the entrance of data centers, EVs and new manufacturing affecting the renewable energy market?
• How are developers dealing with sourcing solar and storage equipment to meet IRA domestic content requirements?
• How is Energy Community guidance affecting site selection and interconnection challenges?
• What are the implications of prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements?
• Are agrivoltaic projects proving effective in alleviating land-use concerns?
• How are interconnection queue backups affecting project pipelines?
• What types of approaches are being taken in contracts to limit risk exposure and deal with cost and schedule uncertainties?
• How are they addressing personnel shortages and workforce development issues?
