Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. A lease is not a sale. You retain full ownership of your land. Only the leased portion is temporarily used for the energy project, and the rest remains yours to use or sell.

Large-scale solar or wind projects typically require at least 300 acres of developable land. Smaller parcels (20–100 acres) may qualify if combined with neighboring properties or if the area supports smaller-scale distribution projects.

Key factors include:

Proximity to a high-voltage power line or substation (typically within 1–3 miles)

Flat or gently rolling terrain

Minimal slope, wetlands, or floodplain areas

100+ contiguous, usable acres

Favorable zoning or potential for rezoning
