CRES Academy Session 5: Energy Policy & Capital Markets

What Policy Certainty Means for Research, Development & Innovation

CRES Academy graduation is here! Please join CRES Forum for our fifth and final CRES Academy session of 2026 on Wednesday, June 24th from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM titled, “Energy Policy & Capital Markets: What Policy Certainty Means for Research, Development & Innovation.”  

The decisions being made on Capitol Hill right now have a direct line to capital markets — shaping what gets financed, what stalls and what’s never built. For our final session of the 2026 CRES Academy, join energy finance practitioners for a candid conversation about how policy process and certainty translate into real capital decisions, and what that means for the energy legislation in front of Congress today. 

WHAT:

• 5:00 PM- Doors Open and Refreshments Available
• 5:15 PM- Programming Begins
• 6:15 PM- Graduation Ceremony and Networking Reception
