ENERGY
The UK is committed to reaching net zero by 2050 and decarbonising the
electricity grid by 2035, with renewable energy playing a central role in
this transition. For landowners, this represents a significant opportunity to
realise long-term value by making land available for energy generation and
associated infrastructure.
As the agricultural landscape continues to evolve, renewable energy
projects can provide both meaningful diversification and a reliable nonagricultural income stream, while also helping to futureproof rural assets
for future generations. Schemes are highly site specific, influenced by
factors such as local grid capacity, proximity to demand, land quality,
planning constraints, and overall technical feasibility.
We have extensive experience advising landowners across a wide range of
technologies including solar, wind, battery storage, EV charging, biomass,
and anaerobic digestion. Our team supports clients through complex
negotiations, including option and lease agreements, grid connection
applications, access arrangements, wayleaves, and wider development
considerations, ensuring the best possible commercial terms and outcomes
for each individual site.
