SUMMARY:Convenient\, Reliable\, and Everywhere: Building a National Charging Network
DESCRIPTION:The investment in a national charging network from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has moved into implementation—and driven innovation across the public and private sectors. From truck stop operators and power companies to communities and state departments of transportation\, there are new business models\, unexpected partnerships\, and technical advancements that are creating a more engaging and seamless electric charging experience. \nThis panel will convene changemakers that are taking these charging innovations from vision to implementation to explore: \n\nHow can we maximize charging infrastructure potential with shared use and multi-modal connections?\nWhat are key learnings from fast charging along highway corridors that serves medium- and heavy-duty fleets?\nHow can we implement the ubiquitous opportunities for Level 2 charging at curbsides\, community hubs\, and destinations?\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \nAlbert Gore\nExecutive Director\, ZETA \n\n\n \nKim Okafor\nGM\, Zero Emission Solutions\, Love’s Family of Companies \n\n\n \nSantos Ramos\nProject Manager\, DriveOhio \n\n\n\n\n \nVirginia Hewitt\nDirector of Business Development\, Voltera \n\n\n \nJosh Cohen\nHead of Policy\, SWTCH

SUMMARY:Capital Stacks for Scale: Financing Demonstration and Early Deployment Projects
DESCRIPTION:There is no one way to scale technologies especially in more emerging markets\, in part because many things need to happen for a deal to come together. For the financing alone\, there are multiple approaches to securing capital commitments – preferred stock offerings\, tax equity financing\, offtake investors\, fully wrapped EPC contracts\, to name a few.   \nJoin this session with DOE and leading investors to explore:  \n\nHow are investors charting the path to financing demonstration-scale projects?\nWhat are investors various strategies for success — what’s working and what’s not?\n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nLeslie Biddle\nDeputy Under Secretary for Commercialization and Finance\, Office of Infrastructure\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n \nBriana Kobor\nHead of Energy Market Innovation\, Google \n\n\n \nCharlie Gailliot\nPartner & Global Co-Head\, KKR Climate \n\n\n\n\n \nRob Day\nCo-Founder\, Spring Lane Capital

SUMMARY:USA Sourced Critical Materials: From Byproducts to Coproducts
DESCRIPTION:DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) has committed an estimated $176 million since January 2021 for projects that support critical minerals and materials exploration\, resource identification\, production\, and processing in traditional mining and fossil fuel-producing communities across the country. Initial estimates suggest that unconventional and secondary sources could provide significant amounts of the rare earth elements and other critical minerals and materials. For example\, wastes and byproducts from known fossil fuel reserves and other industries nation-wide currently contain more than 10 million tons of rare earth elements\, which is equivalent to more than a 300-year supply at the current rate of U.S. consumption. Energy and mining waste streams also need to be remediated\, so there is an opportunity to recover critical minerals during reclamation which puts the critical material recovery on a firm project timeline. \nJoin this session to: \n\nHear from project developers of unconventional and secondary sources of rare earth elements (REEs) and lithium (Li) in the U.S.\nDiscuss complementary DOE funding programs and EPA\, DEP remediation requirements\nHighlight opportunities for investors\, developers and other partners.\n\nDownload and View the Session/Presentation Deck\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nKwasi Ampofo\nHead of Metals and Mining\, BloombergNEF \n\n\n \nTodd Beers\nCOO\, Winner Water Services Inc. \n\n\n \nRemi Loiseau\nU.S. Lithium Manager\, ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions \n\n\n\n\n \nDr. Barbara Arnold\nChair and Professor of Practice in Mining Engineering\, Penn State \n\n\n \nRyan Peay\nDeputy Assistant Secretary for Resource Sustainability\, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management\, U.S. Department of Energy

SUMMARY:Assessing America’s (New) Clean Energy Industrial Strategy
DESCRIPTION:While the U.S. has been supporting research\, development\, and demonstration of clean energy technologies for decades\, BIL\, IRA\, and CHIPS were both historic investments in decarbonization and technology infrastructure\, and a return to/expansion of a federal role in catalyzing strategic industry/sectoral growth. America’s new industrial strategy activated and broadened the government’s conventional toolbelt to help workers\, businesses\, and investors expand – and diversify – the U.S. industrial landscape and economic base. This rich and robust debate will take a multifaceted look at the role of government and investment\, urban hubs to rural opportunities\, large investors to hyperlocal advocates in defining what comes next for America’s clean energy industrial strategy. \nJoin this session to explore: \n\nWhere has this industrial strategy renaissance borne and will bear fruits for the United States?\nWhat opportunities have surfaced for expansion and improvement in this industrial strategy?\nWhere do we risk falling into traps or generating unintended consequences?\n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nAlex Fitzsimmons\nHead of Government Affairs\, Sila Nanotechnologies \n\n\n \nAbigail Ball\nExecutive Director\, American Compass \n\n\n \nTodd Tucker\nDirector of Industrial Policy and Trade\, Roosevelt Institute \n\n\n\n\n \nDr. Tanya Das\nDirector\, Energy Program\, Bipartisan Policy Center

SUMMARY:One Year of VPPs: How Puerto Rico Can Inform Resilience and Power Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, Puerto Rico has pioneered a virtual power plant (VPP) program and has seen immediate results through improved grid reliability and reduced brownouts. Through investments such as DOE’s $3 Billion partial loan guarantee for Project Hestia and the Grid Deployment Office’s $450 million to spread through funding opportunities for residential rooftop solar and battery storage installments\, the mechanisms for growth are in place. In this session\, we will hear lessons learned from those who made this possible: regulators\, utilities\, power aggregators\, and investors. We will explore how Puerto Rico’s experience can inform VPPs everywhere — community-driven solutions that build resilience and provide power to the people who need it most. \nJoin Puerto Rico\, DOE\, and industry leaders in this interactive session to explore: \n\nWhat are the program design\, growth\, sustainability and successes in Puerto Rico?\nWhat have we learned from these VPP deployments and what are the national implications?\nWhat does it look in practice to fund\, finance\, and invest in in Virtual Power Plants?\n\nDownload and View the Session/Presentation Deck\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nElizabeth Wolfe\nSenior Consultant\, Loan Programs Office\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n \nJeff Wahl\nVice President of Customer Programs\, LUMA Energy \n\n\n \nFausto Hernández\nSenior Manager\, Infrastructure Department\, Financial Oversight & Management Board for Puerto Rico \n\n\n\n\n \nMeghan Nutting\nExecutive VP of Government and Regulatory Affairs\, Sunnova Energy Corporation \n\n\n \nAllison Archambault\nPresident\, EarthSpark International

SUMMARY:DOE Debt to Catalyze Scale Up
DESCRIPTION:As decarbonization projects transition from early-stage innovation to large-scale deployment\, access to capital is critical. In this session\, equity investors and representatives from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) debt programs will share their perspectives on how DOE debt can serve as a powerful tool to catalyze the scaling of decarbonization projects and companies. With insights into how DOE’s lending authority complements private equity\, this discussion will explore the role of DOE debt in overcoming financial barriers\, reducing project risk\, and accelerating the deployment of commercially viable technologies. \nJoin this session to explore \n\nHow can DOE debt align with private equity to fuel the growth of decarbonization companies?\nWhat are case studies of successful DOE-backed projects that have leveraged both equity and debt to achieve scale?\nWhat are strategies for navigating the intersection of public and private capital to accelerate the clean energy transition?\n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nTodd Lapenna\nPartner\, Infrastructure and Real Assets\, StepStone
