Renewable energy continues to gain importance in Latin America, creating significant opportunities for developers worldwide. In response to Kyoto Protocol accord guidelines many countries are implementing regulations and incentive programs to encourage renewable energy development, fostering growth opportunities for wind, solar, biomass and ethanol projects. However, financing renewable projects in Latin America is more complex and idiosyncratic than for similar projects in the U.S., as the sources of capital have more intrinsic term limitations, and arranging seed money to perform the preliminary studies that are necessary to obtain final funding is difficult.

Join government leaders, lenders, developers and renewable technology vendors experienced in working in Latin America who will:

Examine the current status of the implementation of Kyoto protocol mechanisms, and show their impacts on project financing and development
Identify sources of capital for renewable projects in Latin America and discuss their applicability to various types of projects
Discuss their experiences in getting renewable energy projects in Latin America developed and funded
Examine the performance parameters for the latest renewable energy technologies and their impacts on financeability
Explore how to obtain funding for studies and initial development activities
