Opportunities remain for landowners and tenants to grant rights for energy projects. The first steps remain the same whether dealing with infrastructure projects going through your property or considering your own green energy project.
Have you got a worthwhile site?
Investigating whether your land is suitable for energy development could be the first step towards transformational change for your business. Our three-step process includes assessing your land, and if viable, inviting developers to tender, and negotiating the best lease agreements.
What are the opportunities?
Onshore wind projects are not limited to large developments; smaller turbines also attract interest. Solar energy is viable, particularly in coastal northern Britain, with success dependent on grid access, proximity to residential areas and land suitability. Battery Energy Storage Systems may be viable if you have flat land near a substation. Electric vehicle charging stations are also worth considering near busy roads, and there are ancillary matters that should also be considered..
Emerging energy sources like green hydrogen and offshore tidal arrays present future potential. Additionally, developers may seek rights to lay cables or widen access points, which could also impact on your property.
