Renewable Energy: Reducing Capital Intensity & Succeeding July 21, 2009

While renewable energy generation remains an exciting initiative, private funding has been harder to come by in the last year. How can renewable energy entrepreneurs, companies, and customers adapt to these times, reduce capital intensity, and still succeed? This area has enormous potential to get to grid parity and can lead to job creation; the challenge is lasting through the Valley of Death. Our panel explores the regulatory, technology, investing, and utility efforts and challenges involved in renewable energy, providing fresh new perspectives.

The evening will also include a showcase of utility, alumni, contestant, and sustainability booths, along with plenty of networking opportunities.
