Wind Power Development Tutorial
OVERVIEW
Wind power continues on its exponential growth curve unabated, but new opportunities and challenges are emerging. The field is ever more crowded, with highly capitalized and highly experienced players, while the range of potential business models is expanding. Is your firm sufficiently nimble and skilled enough to carve a niche in this market? Is your pro forma solid enough to obtain financing from lenders in today’s tight credit environment? Is your place in the backlogged interconnection queue secure? And are you confident your project is structured for optimal valuation and has an effective exit strategy?
Infocast’s popular Wind Power Development Tutorial now comes for the first time to the Midwest, the hottest development area in the country. It will offer utilities, munis, co-op, land owners and independent developers the essential tools and strategic insights for success. The Tutorial will help existing developers bulletproof their plans and projects, while investors, partners and financiers will gain insight into the inner dynamics of wind business models so they can sharpen their due diligence, underwriting and valuation analysis.
