Roundtable 1 — Development Capital & the Bridge to Financial Close

For developers with portfolios under stress and capital partners not seeing returns. Workout lenders, restructuring advisors, and infrastructure equity firms with appetite for recap transactions will host 

Moderator: Laura Klein, Chief Financial Officer, SolaREIT

Roundtable 3 — Standalone Storage: Floor Structures & Merchant Risk 

For developers with standalone storage assets who need financing but will not sign a full toll. Floor and swap product providers, revenue insurance underwriters, and lenders comfortable with hybrid structures will host. 

Moderator: Rob Ritchie, Vice President, Energy Storage, US Solar

Roundtable 4 — California & CAISO Assets 

A geography-specific table for developers with live California pipeline: co-located projects, RA-contracted assets, and VPP plays. Lenders and equity investors with an active CAISO book will host.
