Stimulus dollars and new incentives have helped the US solar industry stay strong during the worst global recession of a generation. And now the economic horizon is starting to look brighter - it is clear that solar is set to shine. Robust growth is expected both globally and within the USA:“Global solar capacity to double by 2010, led by incentives in the U.S. and China” (Nomura Securities)“Solar power technologies could generate 15 percent of America’s power by 2020” (SEIA)The profit potential of the US solar industry is vast, but first things first, you need to get your projects built. This is not a straightforward task. Siting, permitting and setting up transmission access - every phase of project development falls prey to a broad range of constantly evolving laws and regulations at the federal, state and local level. Trying to navigate this minefield of red tape can cause you countless delays, costs and frustration. “Transmission and permitting will be perennial issues for renewable energy projects for the foreseeable future” (Bryan Hannegan, EPRI)It doesn’t matter what type or size of solar plant you plan to build, you face significant regulatory and permitting requirements that you have to meet to get approval. Your job isn’t made any easier by the fact that many of these rules differ from state to state. Knowledge is power - if you don’t arm yourself now with the information and expert analysis you need to navigate the sea of red tape ahead of you, then your plant will fail or at best be riddled with painful costs and legal hold ups. And every second your plant isn’t online is potential income lost. LOAD UP WITH THE KNOWLEDGE yOU NEED TO PUSH yOUR PROJECT FORWARDThe Large Scale Solar Power Legislation, Regulation & Policies Conference has been created from the ground up explicitly to help you overcome the critical challenges in getting your project up and running. Every core challenge you face has at least one agenda session dedicated to it, plus the event is packed with state specific information to help you get set up in the most vital US solar locations - California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and more. In addition we even have information on setting up solar in Canada.
