To investors and financiers, revenue streams are the lifeblood of clean-energy projects. In this session, attendees will learn about the various revenue streams and market pricing available across Canada, including competitive procurement contracts, corporate power purchase agreements, investment tax credits, ancillary services for energy storage, government funding, and carbon offset markets.

The game of risk: Identifying & mitigating risk profiles for clean-power projects

There is no reward without risk. Clean power (wind, solar, and energy storage) projects face new and evolving risks, which can be related to supply-chain management, project siting and permitting, transmission access, political carbon pricing risk and workforce development, among others. In this session, hear from leading experts on how the industry deals with these factors, and how investors and financiers view and calculate risk.

Indigenous equity financing: Exploring funding avenues for Indigenous partnerships
Wednesday, June 19 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
ModeratorSpeaker(s)
Indigenous communities are valuable partners in clean-energy projects across Canada. However, to be an equity partner, Indigenous communities need access to financing options equivalent to those afforded to non-Indigenous developers. Well-known barriers to securing financing have led to different financing solutions for Indigenous communities seeking equity partnerships. This session will consider these financing challenges and discuss available and forthcoming solutions.
