Solar power is fast becoming big business in the US. Stimulus dollars and new incentives have helped the US solar industry stay strong during the worst global recession of a generation. And now the economic horizon is starting to look brighter - it is clear that solar is set to shine. Robust growth is expected both globally and within the USA:

“Global solar capacity to double by 2010, led by incentives

in the U.S. and China” (Nomura Securities)

“Solar power technologies could generate 15 percent of America’s power by 2020”

(SEIA)

The profit potential of the US solar industry is vast, but first things first, you need to get your projects built. This is not a straightforward task. Siting, permitting and setting up transmission access - every phase of project development falls prey to a broad range of constantly evolving laws and regulations at the federal, state and local level. Trying to navigate this minefield of red tape can cause you countless delays, costs and frustration.

“Transmission and permitting will be perennial issues for renewable energy projects for the foreseeable future”

(Bryan Hannegan, EPRI)

It doesn’t matter what type or size of solar plant you plan to build, you face significant regulatory and permitting requirements that you have to meet to get approval. Your job isn’t made any easier by the fact that many of these rules differ from state to state. Knowledge is power - if you don’t arm yourself now with the information and expert analysis you need to navigate the sea of red tape ahead of you, then your plant will fail or at best be riddled with painful costs and legal hold ups. And every second your plant isn’t online is potential income lost.

LOAD UP WITH THE KNOWLEDGE yOU NEED TO PUSH yOUR PROJECT FORWARD

The Large Scale Solar Power Legislation, Regulation & Policies Conference has been created from the ground up explicitly to help you overcome the critical challenges in getting your project up and running.

Every core challenge you face has at least one agenda session dedicated to it, plus the event is packed with state specific information to help you get set up in the most vital US solar locations - California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and more. In addition we even have information on setting up solar in Canada.

CRITICAL INFORMATION FROM TOP SOLAR SPEAKERS THAT WILL HELP yOU MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES IN 2010

This conference will put you in front of the brightest solar minds in the business and for two days you will benefit from engaging presentations, fact filled case studies and in depth live panel debates on:

Energy and Climate Legislation: Direct from the U.S. Department of Energy - hear the latest developments on pending federal legislation that will affect your solar business

Policy Frameworks From Around The Globe: Get a lowdown on the best policy frameworks that enhance the development of solar, including FiT, tax incentives and competitive RFO’s. This year’s update comes straight from Global Green USA, the RightCycle & FIT Coalition and the U.S. Department of Energy

State by State Siting and Permitting Guide: Hear the permit requirements explained by several key state agencies including the Arizona State Land Department and the Colorado Governor’s Energy Office, giving you the exact checklist you need to meet to get your project built!

Transmission & Interconnection Upgrades: Gain an in-depth assessment of current and future plans for improving the US transmission system and integrating renewables to the grid from the California ISO, Midwest ISO and other leading institutions bridging the gap between power plants and utilities

Winning Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): Understand the various processes you have to go though to win PPAs and how it differs from utility to utility. PG&E, Arizona Public Service Company, NV Energy, Progress Energy, Colorado Springs Utilities and Tucson Electric Power Company and others explain in their own words what it takes to win them over as long term partners

Solar and Renewable Initiatives You Need To Know About: Discover the latest developments on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), Solar PEIS, Western Renewable Energy Zones Program, California Transmission Planning Group (CTPG), Renewable Energy Transmission Planning Process (RETPP) and more.

OVERCOMING REGULATORy BARRIERS TO SOLAR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

TRANSMISSION & INTERCONNECTION

OVERCOMING TRANSMISSION AND INTERCONNECTION ISSUES AT THE STATE AND REGIONAL LEVELS

It can be argued that a power facility is only as good as the extent at which it can deliver power to the grid. Because renewable resources are so often confined to remote locations, in many cases they require new electric transmission lines to ship power to areas where it is needed.

Grant Rosenblum, Manager, Renewable Resource Integration, California Independent System Operator CorporationDale Osborn, Transmission Planning Technical Director, Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator

INITIATIVE UPDATE 1: PROGRESS ON THE WESTERN RENEWABLE ENERGy ZONES PROGRAM

The development of new renewable generation has been impaired by transmission constraints. Without the necessary upgrades to the US electric infrastructure it may become impossible to reach RPS goals. The objective of the Western Renewable Energy Zones (WREZ) program launched in May ’08 was to expedite the development and the delivery of renewable energy from areas of high potential to western load centers.
