Infocast Solar + Wind Finance & Investment Summit

Troutman Pepper Locke is a proud sponsor of the 2026 Infocast Solar + Wind Finance & Investment Summit, taking place in Phoenix from March 15– 18, 2026. This premier event brings together leaders in finance, solar, wind, and storage, offering unparalleled networking opportunities. This year’s program focuses on successfully navigating the post-OBBB Act waters, capitalizing on the market-based opportunities of the future, handling the lingering difficulties of the present, and connecting with energy industry leaders to develop, finance, and invest in today’s renewable energy projects.

Adam Kobos will be moderating “Tax Equity Market Dynamics,” where he and tax equity investor executives will discuss the latest trends and market expectations in clean energy, while breaking down the most urgent questions on shifting assessments and how best to maximize returns on renewable energy projects. Topics of discussion will include:

• Deal flow: What’s the size of the TE/TC market today and is need still exceeding capacity? Are most deals hybrid now, and what are the current costs? What’s attracting TE, what’s a no-go, and how big are today’s average deals? Are IRA adders still seen in large numbers, if so, which ones?
• Section 48E: is this the go-to credit now? Are projects with “legacy” credits under sections 45 or 48 seeing challenges? ITC versus PTC: what makes sense now, and for which projects?
• Are TE investors operating at max capacity, and what are expectations beyond the deadlines? Are most investors primarily doing deals with known developers or sponsors? What about syndicators: have strategies changed, and are buyers’ expectations realistic? Is Basel III or 3.5 still a concern?
• Hybrid and t-flips: How are TE investors assessing new provisions and flexibility? Is it changing their overall TE appetites? Is underwriting changing? What about TE interest in 2026 deals?
• How has the new guidance changed tax credit outlooks, financing principles, contract structures, and project fundamentals? What still needs clarity, and how are stakeholders dealing with risks and ambiguities during the deadline crunch time? How are credits affecting valuations?
