Even as the wind industry is in the middle of a boom driven by the federal Production Tax Credit (PTC), all eyes are on what comes next. Even beyond the PTC phase-out in the early 2020s, the wind market is becoming increasingly complex. Offtaker profiles and preferences are changing, new players are entering the market, state policies are evolving, and technology evolution is shaking up wind’s competitive position vis-à-vis solar.

Delivering on the 2020 Push is one of the topics being discussed in length covering:

The wind industry is marshaling all its resources to deliver projects by the end of 2020—the most important year in the industry’s history. AWEA reports that the pipeline of wind farms under construction or in advanced development exceeds 33GW. Can the industry get it done? How? This session will explore these questions and assess the challenges and the strategies to overcome them in the race to deliver on the 2020 push.

 What strategies are being used for 100% PTC qualification?
 How are developers managing the risks in continuous construction and transformer strategies?
 How are developers managing the risks of getting projects through long interconnection queues?
 Will there be enough demand for the pipeline of projects to find contracts?
