We work closely with land agents to deliver exceptional renewable energy projects

Excellent, long term financial returns
Farms and estates face rising energy and materials costs and pressure on revenues, certainly for food. Both solar and battery storage projects can provide long-term, stable income for a farm or estate. Additional revenues will assist future financial planning for a business or family, and can also be used to secure funding for other projects.
Revenue diversification and business integration Post-Brexit, farmers in the UK are still uncertain about the future with 77% of businesses expecting to have to make changes to their operations in the next five years. The predictable, long term revenue stream offered by a renewable energy project can help spread risk, provide financial stability and support investment in other areas of the business. With solar there is also the possibility of embracing agrovoltaics and grazing sheep or growing shade tolerant crops among panels.
Enhancing the land Temporarily taking land out of agricultural use can lead to huge improvements in soil quality over time. By diversifying and hosting an energy project, the landowner can actually future-proof the land. Our projects are designed to achieve a Biodiversity Net Gain across the project site that can have a beneficial impact for surrounding land.
