As utility-scale solar ambitions grow, the NSIP and DCO route presents both opportunity and complexity. This session tackles the hard questions facing developers and investors: Are we approaching saturation point for commercially viable large-scale projects? Can single 400-megawatt developments secure funding in today’s market, or is a portfolio approach the only sustainable path forward? Join industry leaders as they debate the future of nationally significant infrastructure investment and what it takes to turn pipeline projects into operational assets.
- Has the industry reached a tipping point where pursuing additional NSIP and DCO projects is no longer commercially viable, and are existing pipeline projects at risk of stalling or failing to deliver?
- Comparing the challenges of financing standalone mega-projects against diversified portfolio strategies that distribute risk and attract institutional capital
- Navigating regulatory complexity, grid connection constraints, and market volatility to ensure NSIP projects progress from consent to construction and commercial operation
