Accelerating Sustainable Infrastructure Investments in Cities Virtual Workshop
Workshop Session: Solar Project Development & Best Practices for the Public Sector
July 29, 2020
Local governments face an uncertain future for tax finance tools to support solar development, turbulence in the global solar supply chains and increasing community demand for local, affordable, equitable clean electricity production. Despite these challenges, local governments must lead in building resilient systems to deal with climate volatility. How can municipalities overcome the hurdles to developing and financing their solar projects? What role does the unpredictable landscape for investment and production tax credits play? Is the power purchase model still relevant?
Hear from investors, project developers, and industry leaders in the solar space and bring your questions. Though many local budgets face an uncertain future, the market is not frozen and investment in renewable electricity systems remains critical to not only achieving sustainability and resiliency goals but also to economic recovery and job creation. This panel is aimed at supporting municipal staff in identifying solutions and best practices in the context of 2020.
