Troutman Pepper Locke is a proud sponsor of the 2026 Infocast Projects & Money Conference, taking place in New Orleans from January 12-14, 2026. This premier gathering is where senior leaders in project development and finance converge to explore the evolving landscape across clean energy, natural gas, thermal, and storage. Energy market leaders will discuss how they’re navigating shifting tax policy, regulatory changes, and financial pressures stemming from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and other major developments.

Andy Schifrin will be moderating “Outlook for the Thermal Generation Markets in 2026.” This panel will examine capacity market reforms, emissions constraints, repowering opportunities, and investment challenges for thermal generation in the year ahead. Key developers and financiers in thermal generation projects will discuss how operators, investors, and policymakers are repositioning thermal assets in an evolving grid – and what the path forward looks like for conventional generation, new build, and retirement decisions across the U.S.
