Supporting the success of rural communities.

Find out how we help landowners diversify and earn a regular income from renewable energy.

Benefits

Leasing your land for a renewable energy development is an opportunity to earn a secure, long-term income while supporting the urgent drive to decarbonise electricity generation.

Renewable energy developments are typically based on a 40-year agreement, supporting the success of rural communities for generations to come.

We work with you to understand what you want to achieve with your land, then we consult the local community and apply for planning permission. At the end of the development’s lifespan, the infrastructure is removed and the land is returned in the same, or better, condition than when it was built.

What We Do

Our energy project development involves finding sites, usually for solar, land that is flat or on a south–facing slopes, where solar panels can be installed on the ground to produce renewable energy. For BESS this is smaller areas of flat, well concealed ground close to the substation. Our development process is collaborative, thorough and based on a rigorous assessment of each site’s suitability.

The refined sites are then reviewed further to identify optimal cable routes and suitable connection points to pin point suitable land parcels.

We typically look for solar farms sites between 100 and 300 acres.

 

Solar farms not only provide a clean energy source but also offer significant opportunities for enhancing biodiversity. By maintaining undisturbed land throughout the life of the project, we can encourage the restoration of natural habitats, support pollinators, and improve soil health, fostering a more sustainable environment for local wildlife.

The local authority usually makes the final decision.

Then contractors are chosen, the site is built and connected to the network. A typical solar farm can be built over a 6-9 month period. Once built, the site needs little maintenance (eg, one visit every week or two).

Your contribution

Why build a solar farm on your land?

Earn a regular income from your land

Make the most of your land by using it to support the generation of renewable energy and earn an annual income for decades.

Support the drive to Net Zero

Your land can make an important contribution to achieving the national target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Help the local council

Using your land to generate renewable energy helps your local Council to meet its targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Improve biodiversity on your land

Installing a solar farm allows intensively farmed land to rest while biodiversity is improved with a site-specific management plan.
