Landowners Service
With today`s focus on renewable energy sources, your land is more valuable than ever. Now, you have the opportunity to maximize profits by leasing your property for wind turbine development, while retaining most of your land for existing or other uses.EDF Renewable Energy welcomes the opportunity to explore the benefits of developing a wind energy partnership with you. Over the past 25 years, we have forged partnerships with landowners across the United States, with excellent results.
Common Questions and Answers:
What benefits can I expect from entering a partnership with EDF Renewable Energy?
When we select a site for potential development, EDF Renewable Energy negotiates an agreement with the landowner, with the option to lease land following the completion of an on-site wind analysis. Lease terms are typically 20-40 years and provide the landowner with a payment based on energy produced, or fixed annual payments
Currently, your livelihood may be impacted by weather extremes. A wind energy lease can provide a consistent and reliable source of income to help buffer these financial variables.
How do you select a site?
There are many factors that support selection of a site, including:
- An average annual wind speed of at least 13 mph
- Location nearpowertransmission lines
- Environmental and visual impacts
- Market for the power
How will this project impact my land?
Once construction begins, it normally takes about six months to construct a wind project. Wind turbines and service roads typically use less than 10% of the land under lease, which means dry land farming, grazing, or other uses are minimally impacted.
