Origis Services is proud to participate as sponsor of the Infocast Southeast Renewable Energy Summit at the Omni Charlotte Hotel in Charlotte, NC, Nov. 30 – December 2, 2022.
The Southeast Renewable Energy Summit is the only conference covering this burgeoning market that gets key state policymakers, critical decision makers, and leading utility executives and renewable energy players from the most dynamic states in the region — including North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky — to provide the most definitive updates on the issues you’ll need to understand to seize the very best opportunities.
Josh Corbitt, Senior Director of Business Development for Origis Services, will participate as a panelist at the conference, December 2, 2022.
Panel Discussion: Changing Dynamics of Renewable Energy Development
Market forces and the permitting environment are radically changing the development game in the Southeast. Developers are no longer reaping the benefits of lowering costs, as the destruction of the global supply chain, combined with increased shipping costs present a radically different than we have seen for years. Local pushback on solar is in many areas limiting the ability to efficiently site solar, but a general increase in price curves due to natural gas prices could emphasize the relative value of renewable energy.
This panel will address how these market forces are changing development, and the potential solutions they are using.
- What is being seen regarding PPA pricing in the Southeast, and how that is affecting
- project development and financing?
- How is the load growth from the entrance of crypto miners, EVs and new manufacturing
- affecting the renewable energy market?
- How are developers dealing with the rising solar equipment and supply chain costs?
- Where are commodity prices for glass, polysilicon, aluminum headed?
- Transportation constraints and costs
- EPC and labor costs
- What are the pluses and minuses of using brownfield sites such as abandoned coal
- mines in response to siting challenges?
- Can dual-use projects that could harvest the sun, but also use the land for sheep
- grazing, beekeeping or other traditional agricultural activity open up more opportunities
- to get projects in the ground?
- How are interconnection queue backups affecting project pipelines?
- With the ongoing cost raises causing some projects with signed PPAs to become
- jeopardized and sometimes dropped, what are the impacts in a region where you can’t
- get a project through without a PPA?
