Free Webinar: Understanding Solar Energy Agreements

Tuesday, December 8th
3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

California operators are increasingly taking advantage of nontraditional opportunities such as investments in renewable energy and innovative methods of production that are reducing costs and carbon intensity while creating new revenue streams. The economics to do so during COVID-19 tend to make sense, but where to start can be overwhelming.

CIPA member companies, Commercial Global Insurance Services (CGIS) and Stoel Rives LLP, will help our members sort it all out in a free webinar on Tuesday, December 8th from 3:00 – 4:30pm. The panel conversation will cover the exchange of both risk and legal ideas on Understanding Solar Energy Agreements.

After this Zoom presentation an attendee will leave with the following knowledge:

1.    Understanding the definition of sustainable power risk/legal guidance that steer CIPA Members to navigate and comply with federal and state regulations, manage the cost of solar development, hedge energy market risks, develop and permit clean energy resources on their land, and expand transmission (Community Solar) distribution. CIPA members will hear how to work through federal, state, and utility regulations and rebates, tax, metering, and interconnection issues, and negotiate favorable risk/insurance contract terms with the system designer, supplier, and installer.

2.    Figuring out Solar Development Financing for Sustainable projects. Find out about the Solar Services Agreement (SSA)/Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) as the turnkey solution that supports their risk-free solar-generated electricity but not the capital investment or long-term costs. An SSA/PPA is great protection from escalating energy rates. An SSA/PPA means the CIPA Member Developer designs, constructs, owns, operates, and maintains the on-site power generation.
