The Bond Buyer's
Financing Sustainable Energy and Efficiency Conference:
Private Capital, Public Good
Space is Filling Up!

State and local energy agencies are moving to center stage as public policy shifts to support renewable and sustainable energy projects that can promote energy independence, greenhouse gas reduction, and improved reliability.

Tax-exempt and tax-credit financing tools are emerging as key capital sources for building crucial new generation and transmission assets -- and the public sector is also becoming recognized as a demand driver, backed by regional and local efforts to promote cleaner forms of energy proliferate.

But at a time when some of the most local taxpayers and ratepayers remain wary of large projects and new technologies that have not yet proven their viability in large-scale applications, how can municipal leaders decide what types of deals to pursue and what financial guarantees will be acceptable to ratepayers and investors?

The Bond Buyer's Financing Sustainable Energy and Efficiency Conference, May 19-20, 2010 at the Hilton Americas in Houston, TX, is a first-of-its-kind event that will pair a discussion of the fast-changing technology landscape with an in-depth look at how investors are assessing these credits and what financing structures municipal issuers can use to unlock capital. Bringing together the public sector with the buy- and sell-sides of the market, along with legal expertise, the conference will help the leaders in this emerging sector develop new best practices for closing deals and moving forward with the important work of scaling up a new global industry.
