"It will be attended by major players in the renewable energy investment community, and will be a great opportunity to network and connect with senior level decision makers in solar development." Lerdal's presentation is entitled "Utility-Scale Projects from the Investor's Perspective," and will include a case study of one of MP2 Capital's recent solar projects. Lerdal will present an overview of the process of developing, financing and operating a solar project in partnership with a utility, including discussion of the regulatory policy, land use and other local issues associated with large-scale solar project development. Attendees will gain an understanding of the process, challenges, best practices and financing parameters associated with utility-partnered projects in order to make the best decisions going forward. Lerdal is an industry veteran with more than 20 years experience in the renewable energy sector as a developer, investor, executive and attorney. He became CEO and a managing director at MP2 Capital earlier this year at a time when the firm's project portfolio has seen notable growth. Founded in 2006, the firm has developed, and also operates, multiple renewable energy projects across the United States. Recent projects in development include the construction of a 1.6 megawatt solar array at the Denver International Airport and a 2.3 megawatt solar array to provide power for Progress Energy customers in North Carolina. "We live in a time where renewable energy development is critical to our survival, and we need to work together and share insights to develop the best solutions," said Lerdal. "There are known challenges to securing investment and financing for large-scale solar projects. We have had great success partnering with utilities to meet their desires to promote renewable energy.] We're pleased to draw from our experiences at MP2 Capital and present our perspective on what a successful project requires."
