Energy regulatory attorney Willie Phillips will participate in the 2026 Infocast Solar + Wind Finance & Investment Summit in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference convenes leaders in the renewable energy market, financial executives and investors to explore the current state of the industry and new opportunities for financing. This year's topics will include project management post-One Big Beautiful Bill Act, alternative financing options, and regulatory and legislative updates affecting project developers and timelines. Mr. Phillips will host a fireside chat with Leroy Nix, vice president of public affairs at Entergy, on data center development and electric grid stability. The conversation will highlight regulatory considerations for data center project stakeholders amid increasing grid demand, such as Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and state initiatives on large loads and interconnection reforms.
