Stacking Value: The New Economics of Midwest C&I Solar

The C&I solar pitch used to be simple: offset your electric bill and lock in savings. But in today’s market, the most successful projects are stacking value well beyond net metering. This session explores the emerging revenue opportunities Midwest C&I developers are tapping into — demand charge management with storage, community solar subscriptions, and behind-the-meter projects. Panelists will also examine the evolving REC market and whether voluntary and compliance credit values can become a meaningful and durable revenue stream for C&I projects as state programs mature. What’s actually penciling in MISO and PJM territory today, how are offtake agreements being structured for C&I customers, and where is the next wave of C&I value creation headed?
