The long-awaited and highly anticipated Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) for wind, solar, energy storage, green hydrogen, and clean manufacturing are finally here! These new federal ITCs are expected to accelerate the development of clean energy projects nationwide. Join industry experts as they detail strategies to maximize benefits from the new ITCs, covering ownership/partnership models, retroactive tax advantages, labor compliance considerations, ITC bridge financing, accelerated depreciation, risk-management strategies, and provincial implementations of the ITC framework. This session, moderated by Isabelle Deguise, provides essential insights into leveraging Canada’s latest fiscal incentives for sustainable energy initiatives.

Presentation: Optimizing the Future of Renewables with Digital Solutions
Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2024: 10:30 AM – 11:00 AM MT
RES speaker: Mehdi Zohouri, VP of Sales, Digital Solutions

What if we could optimize the energy yield of a solar field on a hot day by up to 20% and increase the energy yield of a wind farm by up to 5%? What if we could identify problem panels and warranty issues without stepping foot in the field or repair a blade without putting people at risk? What if we could use real-time, high-frequency data to identify and reduce risk, preventing problems before they occur? In this session, RES’s VP of Sales for the Digital Solutions business unit, Mehdi Zohouri, shares breakthrough digital capabilities that address the pressing challenges faced by asset owners and service providers in maintaining and optimizing performance—increasing the value of renewables assets while also extending their lifecycle. BY addressing issues that would otherwise shorten the usable life of an asset, we can help the renewables industry live up to the sustainability values at its core.
