About the Class  (Co-Hosted with Orrick)

Storage is the fastest-growing alternative energy asset class, but the contract structures needed to assure financeability and mitigate project risks are not standardized or well understood. While storage is generally lumped in with solar, wind and other renewable assets, storage projects have many unique features that can create pitfalls for both offtakers and project developers if the most advanced contracting practices are not employed to mitigate risks, maximize revenues, and assure access to capital.

This master class will provide project developers, offtakers and financiers with an understanding of the state of the art in storage contracting, due diligence and what is needed to secure affordable financing for storage projects.

Attendees will:

• Hear from utility and corporate offtakers what they are looking for in storage projects, and how that is affecting procurements
• Learn how emerging policy and regulatory drivers are impacting storage project development, operations and revenue streams
• Understand the key offtake structures being used now, and the potential issues with them
• Take a deep dive into the complexities of solar + storage projects, and explore how to best capture merchant storage revenue streams and handle the tax implications of the ITC for battery storage
• Delve into the changing landscape of EPC and O&M contracting for storage projects, and understand the technical due diligence needed to assure project performance
• Get the perspectives of leading financiers on what they are looking for in energy storage project
