Join New York Policymakers, Regulators, and Leading Utilities, Developers, IPPs, and Financiers for a Comprehensive Survey of the Critical Challenges Impacting the Empire State’s Energy Landscape and Shaping Finance and Development Strategies in the Drive to Decarbonize

Infocast's New York Energy Summit returns to Albany in April 2025 with a remarkable roster of energy sector leaders to discuss the policy landscape and explore emerging opportunities on the path to achieving the state’s ambitious CES targets.

New York has become one of the most dynamic energy markets in the United States, with tremendous opportunities in the planning, developing, financing, and construction of utility-scale onshore and offshore generation, energy storage projects, community and C&I distributed energy resources, new transmission assets, clean energy manufacturing, and decarbonization projects across multiple sectors. However, only those keeping up with the latest developments in this rapidly evolving environment will be properly positioned to seize the very best opportunities on offer in the Empire State.

Get the latest on issues such as resource valuation changes, domestic manufacturing and labor requirements, new momentum around the role of natural gas and nuclear power, and the impacts of a coming wave of power-intensive facilities—new manufacturing, data and AI centers, bit-coin miners—on grid planning. Hear how the growing tax equity and transferability markets are shaping project finance and investment, and how the risk appetites of capital providers and developer are shaping deals in the New York market.

Infocast's New York Energy Summit is a unique chance to hear from and network with 400+ policymakers, regulators, market operators, utilities, renewable energy leaders, financiers and innovators from across the energy industry. You will:

  • Hear definitive briefings from senior decision makers at agencies and authorities setting and implementing clean energy and decarbonization policies throughout the state
  • Get an in-depth look at the opportunities involved in meeting the state’s ambitious CLCPA goal, including in onshore and offshore large-scale renewable development, storage, transmission, distributed generation projects, natural gas, nuclear power and more...
  • Gain new insight into ongoing New York market-, planning-, and process-reforms and their impacts on the NY energy industry in 2025 and the future
  • Receive a detailed briefing on the latest transmission expansion and interconnection planning, policies and activity in the Empire State
  • Discover the opportunities in underserved communities, in workforce training and in domestic manufacturing initiatives
