For landowners

Help increase renewable energy production and promote biodiversity

Why lease your land?

By leasing your land to us, you receive a long-term and stable income while contributing to the green transition. Lease agreements typically run for 45 years for solar parks and 25 years for battery energy storage with an indexed, annual, and competitive lease payment starting from the commissioning date. At the end of the lease period, the facility is dismantled and the land is restored.

In addition to lease income, there are several positive effects, such as the opportunity to combine the facility with sheep grazing or to enhance biodiversity both within and around the park by sowing, for example, meadow flowers that provide food for our highly threatened pollinators (bees, bumblebees, butterflies, and others).

How does it work?

We ensure that the land is suitable for each project and make sure that all agreements and permits are in place. Thanks to the efficient process we are developing, the establishment time can be shortened and projects can be brought into operation within just a few years.
Solar parks are often complemented with battery storage systems that can store surplus electricity and smooth out variations in production. This allows electricity to be used when demand is highest and provides a more stable power supply.

In addition to solar and energy storage projects, we also develop data centers, which are an important part of the growing digital infrastructure. Data centers require a stable and sustainable energy supply and contribute to efficient data management and digital services in society.

Pilot Study – Pre-qualification

This stage includes a preliminary layout and dimensioned output, assessment of connection opportunities and costs, investment calculation and profitability calculation. If the outcome is positive, a lease agreement is signed and work progresses.

Land examination

An examination of access roads, other landowners and the need for usage agreements. The layout is updated, a planning application is submitted, and all other permits and licences are obtained. Electrical connectivity is thoroughly scrutinised.

Bidding

The bidding process is initiated, to choose a contractor to complete the facility.

Funding

Investment offers and construction decisions.

Construction

The facility is completed and started up.

Operation

Ongoing service and maintenance for 40 years.

Dismantling

The facility is dismantled and recycled, and the land is restored.

What types of land are of interest?

Most types of land are of interest to us. It is usually an advantage if the land is located close to a grid connection point, which we check as soon as we contact the landowner.

If we assess the conditions as favourable for realizing a solar and battery storage project or a data center, we always start the process by signing a lease agreement with the landowner. After that, we ensure that all necessary permits are obtained so that the facility can be completed and brought into operation.

What’s the environmental impact?

Although a solar park covers large areas, the visual impact is limited since the panels are only about 3 meters high. From a distance, the area is mainly perceived as green. The mounting structures are generally anchored by pile driving to a depth of around 2 meters, and cables are laid in trenches. In other words, the environmental impact is minimal, and after the project lifetime the area can be fully restored.

A battery storage system is normally placed in container-like units and occupies only a small part of the land. It is a discreet solution that enables storage of surplus electricity and delivery when demand is highest, increasing both the usefulness and stability of the energy system.

Data centers have a different type of footprint: they are compact but energy-demanding facilities that require reliable infrastructure and a stable energy supply. By locating them alongside renewable energy production, they can be integrated into a more sustainable digital ecosystem.

A solar park, battery storage system, and data center are together quiet and sustainable installations – apart from our buzzing bees, of course.
