Emerging Energy Tech: From Pilot to Utility-Scale

TBD

About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will examine what it takes to move emerging energy technologies from pilot to utility-scale in today's market. The panel will focus on the practical levers that determine bankability, transmission and interconnection, permitting and wildlife risks, and the capital stack.

Description

Nascent energy technologies face many obstacles on the path to operation. Projects must navigate long-range transmission planning, NEPA review, species/eagle permit risk, and shifting tech-neutral credits and hydrogen/CCUS rules under administrative flux. The panelists will unpack how these changes translate into interconnection queue strategy, critical-path permit sequencing, and financeable offtake. Where do first-of-a-kind projects stall?

Listen as our panel discusses the financial and regulatory challenges to advancing hydrogen, CCUS, long-duration storage, advanced nuclear, and next-gen renewables from concept to commercial operation.
