The tax provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 affecting utilities included considerable renewable energy tax incentives and spending initiatives.

Now, with billions of dollars of infrastructure capital expenditures being planned, major tax questions are attached to both the uses of the funds and the sources of the financing.

To bring insight and guidance to issues, SNL EXNET put top consultants and legal advisors in front of an audience of utility tax and accounting professionals at the 24th SNL EXNET Annual Utility Tax Conference.

Now all of the Conference sessions – the presentations and the supporting slides – are available to you on-demand over the Web for just $149 each or $895 for the entire program.

Each session is yours to access as often as you like. Choose from the entire program or any of the sessions below.
