FAQ
-
We’ll work with you to assess your site and provide competitive lease rates for your area. We diligently handle all the details of your project—from conducting environmental studies and obtaining permits, to entitlement and receiving the interconnection service agreement from TVA or the Local Power Company. We also pair your project with trusted renewable energy investors, focusing on the right fit for each long-term lease relationship. At each step of the way, we honor our relationships and provide transparent and open communication with you and your community.
-
We typically look for sites with as few as 50 to as many as 500+ acres of contiguous land. We factor in accessibility, shading, topography, and the proximity to existing utility infrastructure. We consider the soil conditions, conduct any necessary environmental studies, and take into consideration sight lines for neighboring properties. We also work with landowners to select the best site for a solar or energy storage system that won’t disrupt any of their current or planned future use. In short, landowner preferences and site viability go hand in hand.
-
Energy storage requires a much smaller footprint than wind and solar projects—typically 5 to 20 acres. We typically look for flat parcels that are easily accessible from a public right of way. We also look at a number of factors including proximity to substations, the ease of site access, the amount of vegetation on the site, and whether there is any existing environmental contamination.
We manage everything from start to finish, at no cost to the property owner.
