State of the Industry Webinar: International Investment in U.S. Markets

Wednesday, July 25, 2018 | 12:00-1:30pm EST

The State of the Industry Webinar, a quarterly series produced in partnership between ACORE and Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), offers the latest intelligence and analysis on renewable energy markets, finance and policy.

This quarter’s webinar will focus on the increasing trend of financial institutions around the globe who are expanding their renewable energy strategies and providing new capital for North American markets. According to ACORE’s recent survey of leading financial institutions, investor confidence in the U.S. renewable sector is expected to remain high, with a market opportunity for $1 trillion in private sector investment for U.S. renewables and enabling grid technologies from now to 2030. As capital stacks evolve and the sector replaces tax equity as a key source of project financing, international firms will play an important role in growing investment to such levels.

Speakers will discuss:

• Foreign investor strategies for expansion in North American markets, fueled by sustainability targets, ESG scoring and atrractive business opportunities;
• The characteristics of these new market entrants; and
• U.S. attractiveness in an uncertain policy environment: challenges posed by trade wars, the new tax law and CFIUS.
