Would you like to rent out or sell your farmland?

EE supports Australia’s shift to cleaner, sustainable energy and is working with landowners to develop wind and solar projects across Australia. We care about helping to protect Australia’s environment for future generations and believe that it starts with respect for the land and the communities that rely on it. We work in partnership with landowners, conducting ourselves professionally and sensitively with a focus on consultation.

If you are interested in working with us by renting out or selling your farmland, please get in touch.

RENTING OUT OR SELLING LAND FOR SOLAR FARMS

Solar farms in Australia

Solar farms can offer reliable, drought proof assets that diversify the use of your land and offer steady income for years to come. Small livestock can also graze on land containing solar panels. Sheep are commonly used in this way, and this practice can help maintain grass length under panels. When you partner with EE, we can offer stable leases providing rental payments for the use of your land. Should you be more interested in selling your land, we can also offer above market pricing to acquire it. In either instance, you will be partnering with an organisation that has a successful track record of developing, constructing and operating hundreds of solar and wind projects across the world.

RENTING OUT OR SELLING LAND FOR WIND FARMS

Wind Farms in Australia

Wind projects can be an ideal way to diversify the use of land and income. In leasing arrangements, annual lease payments offer steady, drought proof income streams. In addition, many farming activities can still be performed in and around turbines, including grazing and cropping. This allows you to generate further income and maintain existing land uses in these areas if you wish. EE will work with you to ensure that the project benefits you, your land and your wider community. The team at EE has a wealth of experience developing wind farms in Australia and will partner with you to ensure the best possible outcome for yourself, your community and you land.

FAQ

Why include a renewable energy project on your land?

Solar panels and wind turbines on field sites are a source of long-term income. It is an economically secure investment with a stable return.

Solar and wind energy are attractive, additional crops for landowners who wish to continue with their current agricultural activities. Both solar and wind projects have become cheaper to produce and construct, while the energy sources are becoming more and more popular.

Solar panels and equipment typically cover around 30% of the leased area, while the space occupied by wind turbines is as little as 3%. This leaves plenty of space for sheep to graze, and in the case of wind farms cattle and cropping, allowing farmers to generate further income from the land.

Why collaborate with EE?

When you partner with EE through long-term leases, we can offer attractive index linked payments for the use of your land for our wind and solar projects.

These rental payments provide the assurance of secure long-term income to support your current and future plans. Where it is your preference we may purchase the land, allowing you to realise this value sooner.

EE has a successful track record of developing, constructing and operating hundreds of solar and wind projects. Please take a look at our company presentation, available on our corporate website, for more information on our past projects.”

What are the costs?

All costs associated with developing the site will be covered by us. In the unlikely event that a project is not successfully developed, there will be no cost to you.

What maintenance is needed?

Solar and Wind projects require very little maintenance. There will only be a few visits per year from a small maintenance team. If any fault arises, our remote monitoring system will immediately notify our in-house asset management team who will take the appropriate action to fix the problem.
