SAN FRANCISCO — The Soho Loft Conferences with Victoria Global will present a conference on financing renewable energy and international solar development projects on January 28-29, 2015 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
“RenewFi: New Industry Opportunities in Renewable Finance” will be held at the Topline Incubator 1402 S Marina Way, Richmond at the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. It will bring together the bigwigs in the fields of solar development, clean technologies and renewable energy, and intersect this with finance, enabling entrepreneurs to get the much needed investment to kick off their projects. It will be attended by individuals from different arenas including commercial real estate owners, impact investors, real estate investors, CFOs, accountants, solar executives, cleantech people and social and energy entrepreneurs.
David Drake, the Founder and Chairman of Victoria Global, LDJ Capital and The Soho Loft Media Group, says, “We are very excited about this conference. We will be showing the practical aspects of renewable energy financing – the benefits of increasing property values, tax breaks, while capturing your own energy. The conference aims to do exactly that – bring entrepreneurs, solar experts and investors together – to launch and strike a powerful conversation among all players thus showcasing the benefits of renewable energy.”
Renewable energy is the energy of the future with oil supply barely able to fulfill the world’s needs for another hundred years. Today, fossil fuels comprise 81.6 percent of our energy needs and the United States increasingly depends on fossil fuels. Ozone layer depletion and acid rain are just few of the effects of fossil fuels. Alternative energy, one the other hand, helps us to be environmentally safe. There is a lot to learn from the event, including how to best use renewable energy.
The conference topics include: cross-funding opportunities and cross-investment strategies on renewable energy and real estate; investment opportunities and strategies on solar energy projects; solar investment opportunities in Asia, South and Central America; tax incentives and financing opportunities; renewable energy equity based funds for commercial real estate; and waste conversion to energy.
The keynotes will be given by:
Scott Purcell, Founder and CEO of FundAmerica
Curtis Probst, Managing Director of Rocky Mountain Institute
Daniel Kammen, Distinguished Professor of Energy at the University of California in Berkeley
Mark Grobmyer, Managing Director of P80 Group Foundation and Chairman of Global Technology Deployment Initiative
Scott Jacobs, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Generate Capital
Moderators are:
David Drake, Founder and Chairman of Victoria Global, LDJ Capital and The Soho Loft Media Group

Now, it costs $.60 a watt. The early cleantech entrepreneurs and investors drastically got the Industry ready and making the future possible. Everything has a trajectory and a group of people that pioneer great advancements. This is the time for leaps in Energy.”
