WINDPOWER Conference & Exhibition 2019

Hedging Your Bets: How to Crack International Markets (Room Thought Leader Theater)

The boom-bust cycle of US wind markets has driven many developers and supply chain companies to explore international opportunities. With rapid expansion of wind markets both close to home (Canada, Mexico) and further afield (Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa), opportunities abound for geographic diversification and increased profitability. But these markets are not for the faint of heart: shifting regulatory sands, policy uncertainty and questions around financing can be daunting for the most seasoned industry players. This session will highlight speakers who have unique insights into these markets and have the experience of seeing projects through to completion in countries both near and far. Speakers will focus on real case studies that illustrate the positives and negatives of venturing outside the US and provide clear guidance on what to do – and what not to do – in cracking 

This session is accredited by the State Bar of Texas.
