Where Powerful Perspectives Converge

The ELITE Invitational was created in response to an increasingly complex energy landscape defined by market volatility, rapid technological change, and evolving regulatory priorities. Recognizing a gap in the market for a forum dedicated specifically to the intersection of energy, tax, and finance, Merit Advisors established ELITE to convene senior leaders for meaningful dialogue, shared insight, and strategic alignment.

Conversations will explore:


  • How industry leaders are navigating today’s energy markets to protect margins and optimize tax positions
  • Practical capital allocation strategies to increase efficiency, unlock tax advantages, and reduce cash costs
  • Power generation trends and the implications for investment decisions, credits, and long-term capital allocation
  • Key policy and regulatory changes and how to position your organization to capture incentives and manage risk
