Banyan Connect: SFCW 2026
•
San Francisco, CA
Banyan Connect is our premier series of curated events that bring together influential decision-makers from across the project finance industry.
Banyan Connect: San Francisco Climate Week
We hosted an insightful lunch and learn during SF Climate Week on Wednesday, April 22.
The "easy" era of distributed generation (DG) is evolving. As federal incentives shift and the market matures, the industry is entering a high-stakes phase defined by tighter economics and the relentless pressure to scale efficiently. To meet global climate targets, we can no longer rely on bespoke deals; we need industrial-grade deployment.
This panel brought together leading developers, infrastructure funds, and innovative capital providers to discuss how they’re adapting to win in a high-volume, low-margin environment. Join us for a candid discussion on how the industry is moving past the "hype" to build the resilient, profitable, and massive-scale infrastructure the planet requires.
