Renewable Project Finance: The Tutorial May 22-23, New York, NY The definitive course on financing wind, solar and biomass/biofuel developments Renewables are hot, and getting hotter by the day. But renewable projects have a variety of constraints and intrinsic economics very different from conventional thermal-energy projects. To gain maximum benefit from the boom in renewables, you need to get the best and the latest insight into the peculiarities of the financing market for renewables from the most experienced players in the field. Renewable Project Finance: The Tutorial has one simple goal: to provide the most comprehensive training on how to finance renewable energy projects available anywhere in the world.
