Power Play: Game-Changing Strategies for Power Projects

Division 10, 4 and 5 Lunch Program

• Thursday, January 25, 2024 from 12:20-1:45pm

• Kristin Santamont of Bechtel will be presenting on the Ivanpah Solar Project. The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a 377-megawatt project consisting of three 459-foot solar concentrating thermal power plants (“power towers”) located a 4,000 acre tract of land in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California. When the Ivanpah project began commercial operation in December, 2013, it was the world’s largest solar thermal facility and nearly doubled the amount of commercial solar thermal energy generated in the United States.

• We’re pairing with D4 for an event at Meow Wolf’s Ωmega Mart, which is an interactive art installation located in the Area15 complex in Las Vegas. We’ll be entering what is seemingly a supermarket, from which we can access various other areas (including the bar where our event will be held) and uncover a narrative. The installation features contributions from over 300 artists and designers. It should be a fun night!

Price per person is $100.00 (includes general admission to Ωmega Mart as well as access to the open bar). RSVP to Kelly Bundy ASAP (kbundy@hirschlerlaw.com) and pay in advance to secure your spot (Venmo @Kelly-Bundy).

Division 10 Lunch Program: Thursday, September 28, 2023 from 12:45-2:30pm.

Join Division 10 in a lunch discussion with Tim Schneider, General Counsel for Tilson Technology Management, and Dave Thomas of Sheppard Mullin focusing on the construction of telecommunications infrastructure in areas that today do not receive adequate broadband service.  In late June 2023, the Biden Administration announced funding allocations to the states of $42.5 billion in federal subsidies to build broadband networks that either receive inadequate broadband, or none at all.  Broadband service today, no less so than electricity in the early 20th Century is critical for modern life.  And the scale of the funding, the planning and construction of broadband communications of these networks closely parallels the federal government's rural electrification campaign of the 1930s.  The discussion will focus on the legal and practical realities of project funding, contracting, deployment and administration and enforcement of grants.

Division 10 Social Event: Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 8pm.
