The world’s most advanced and profitable clean energy markets didn’t come to
lead by accident. Rather, strategic commitments to long-term financial
incentive policies that are designed to drive investment and rapidly scale
viable, clean technologies directly account for their dominance.


  The feed-in tariff is the policy approach that has proven to be the most
effective in stimulating clean power adoption, generating jobs and driving
down costs. Widely adopted in Europe and now emerging in force across North
America, feed-in tariffs enable clean power generators of various sizes,
deploying a variety of technologies, to sell their power over the long–term
at rates that guarantee attractive and predictable returns.


  In this event members of the New York State Legislature will join a
prestigious panel of policy experts, financiers and clean energy investors
from throughout North America to illustrate the case for a local *Empire
State Feed-In Tariff.* The policy’s implications for investment and finance
will form the core of the discussion, and recently introduced feed-in tariff
legislation will be analyzed in reference to case studies from around the
globe.
