The conference is designed to provide a holistic coverage of legal, financial, and technical due diligence items as they relate to both general wind project development and considerations for valuation and transactions/acquisitions in the secondary market. It will review critical items for due diligence at the various stages of wind project development, evaluating potential exposures to unknown costs. In addition, it will also explore what elements wind asset sellers must address to attract the attention of renewable energy asset buyers and financial entities, providing specific guidance, metrics and case studies for establishing a common denominator between the buyers and sellers to transact wind projects under various stages of development.
