John J. Leonti

Troutman Pepper Locke was proud to sponsor the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) Finance Forum, which took place in New York City from May 13-14, 2026. The 2026 ACORE Finance Forum returned to New York City for two days of networking, discussions, and exclusive insights from the industry leaders who are deploying the capital driving America’s booming clean energy demand.

John Leonti moderated a panel discussion on “Capital Stacks for Hybridized Assets: Financing the Integrated Power Stack” on May 14. This panel presented investor and lender perspectives on the capital structures emerging to finance hybridized projects, from project finance and private credit to structured equity and offtake-backed debt — and what it will take to bring more of these deals across the finish line. This discussion was especially valuable as developers increasingly co-locate nuclear, geothermal, renewables, and thermal at the site level, and lenders and investors are asked to underwrite a new asset class.
