Hodgson Russ Attorney Brianne Szopinski participated in a panel discussion titled "Grid, Land, and Load: Finding the Right Site for Your Next Project" at the Solar & Storage Finance Summit on October 22, 2025. The session covered:
- How developers are navigating land availability and forming partnerships with landowners in high-potential areas
- Where are transmission bottlenecks limiting deployment, and which regions are addressing these challenges effectively
- Which power markets are creating the right conditions—pricing, policy, and demand—for profitable solar & storage investment
- How local demand trends (e.g., data centers, electrification, population growth) are shaping where projects are getting built
- States that are developing long-term frameworks that truly support scale-up, and incentives that compare regionally
- Where the momentum is growing for storage-specific tenders, and which states are taking the lead on long-duration storage solutions
