Utilities, local and state governments, other LSEs, and corporates in the eight-state Mountain West region are procuring rapidly growing amounts of renewable energy and storage as they work to achieve their climate and GHG-reduction goals. Moreover, power-hungry generative AI data centers and alternative decarbonization technologies such as hydrogen will soon provide even more dramatic opportunities for renewable power development.
To grasp these opportunities, however, market participants need to understand the latest progress towards the development of more formally organized western electricity markets and understand how each proposed day-ahead market structure will impact power procurement, grid reliability, and resource adequacy, as well as project costs, valuations, and financing. Players will need to follow the initiatives attempting to ease transmission and interconnection challenges and the impacts of FERC’s latest transmission reform rules. Keeping up with the progress of alternative decarbonization technologies like hydrogen, carbon capture, and alternative fuels across the region remains essential. Only those armed with the most up-to-date intelligence on these developments will be able to take full advantage of the flourishing opportunities in this dynamic, eight-state region.
Infocast’s Mountain West Renewables Summit is organized to let you hear directly from the region’s leading energy decision makers and executives from utilities, local governments, and LSEs. They will come together with the region's leading renewable development and finance communities to network and exchange the latest on the state and future of the Mountain West energy markets. The meeting offers unique insights into their needs, challenges, and the initiatives they have underway in today’s uncertain economic and political environment. This remarkable summit will provide the perfect venue to take advantage of the vast opportunities for renewable energy procurement, development, and deployment in the Mountain West.
