California’s growing demand for power, flexibility, and speed-to-power is placing pressure on energy systems. The event covers effects on transmission and distribution infrastructure, and strategies and policies to address transmission hurdles, interconnection bottlenecks, and reliability challenges. Panel topics include energy demand from data centers, EV infrastructure, and electrification; grid access and infrastructure needs in the San Diego region; battery energy storage as critical infrastructure and how to meet storage demand; and political challenges and state and local efforts related to clean-energy leadership.

Plenary and concurrent sessions examine renewable project markets and financing across solar, wind, storage, and clean firm power. Topics include tax-credit policy and compliance, tariffs, domestic-content requirements, power and PPA prices, data-center and other large-load demand, interconnection, procurement, construction, supply chains, and post-subsidy project economics. Financing sessions address tax equity, transferable credits, preferred equity, debt, development capital, lender underwriting, diligence, tax insurance, risk allocation, offtake structures, storage revenue models, sponsor equity, M&A, portfolio and asset valuation, and operating performance. The program also covers community solar and commercial and industrial projects, clean-firm and co-located generation, domestic manufacturing, and the effect of changing policy and market conditions on project execution and investment.
