Flipping the Lens in Project Bankability: What Does It Take to Fund and Build a New Energy Project?

Overview


McDermott Will & Schulte is a proud sponsor of AIEN’s upcoming conference, Flipping the Lens in Project Bankability: What Does It Take to Fund and Build a New Energy Project?

Partner Christopher Gladbach will speak on the afternoon panel, “Integrating Policy, Risk, and Financing: Funding Bankable New Projects.” He and fellow panels will will discuss how changes in policy, such as tax incentives and regulations, impact project costs and investment decisions. The panel will also look at important risks like changes in laws and contract terms that affect cash flow and financing. Speakers will explain how tax equity and other financing options fit into project planning, and how managing risks early, through comprehensive risk identification and planning, as well as allocation of contingency funds to address potential risks, helps projects get funded and stay on track. Speakers will address other considerations for project funding, such as the heightened risk profile for schedule delays, and proactive contractual mechanisms to minimize costs when schedule delays or unforeseen events emerge.
