We sit down for an insightful conversation with Corey Hindin, Director of Business Development at AC Power, to talk about transforming brownfields into productive solar farms. We delve into:

• How business development is structured at AC Power, which entails various steps ranging from market exploration to closing agreements with landowners for project due diligence.
• The unique characteristics of brownfield development, such as the need for intricate planning and careful navigation of regulatory restrictions, compared to more straightforward greenfield development.
• The increase in competition and interest in brownfield solar development due to the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and the importance of standing out through expertise and a responsible approach.
• The stringent environmental regulations in place for transitioning brownfields into solar projects and how AC Power manages these complexities to create investor-friendly ventures.
• AC Power's ambitious goal to generate 1.21 gigawatts of energy and become the industry leader in brownfield solar development.

And a lot more!

We speak with Ryan Kelliher, VP of Renewable Solutions at Tradition Energy and Executive Director of the American Solar Grazing Association (ASGA). We discuss why:

• Solar grazing is beneficial for farmers and rural communities
• Sheep grazing is helpful for the permitting of solar projects, as it aligns incentives for the developer and the farmer and reduces community opposition.
• The lack of sheep in the US is a challenge for solar grazing, but the potential opportunity for farmers is significant.
• it is important of building emotional relationships with the local community to reduce community opposition to solar projects.
• And much more!
