We need your help
As a landowner, you are a key person in our investment in local energy production. We are dependent on finding and engaging landowners who can offer land for the establishment of solar parks and wind farms.
Although the interest in renewable energy is greater than ever, there are still few large wind and solar energy parks in Sweden. Here is an untapped potential for us as a company to invest in sustainable green electricity and an opportunity for you as a landowner to contribute to the transition to a fossil-free society.
By leasing land to us, you as a land owner get a long and stable income while you are involved and contribute to expanding the production of renewable electricity. A lease normally runs for 45 years and an indexed, annual and competitive lease fee starts from the day of establishment. After the end of the lease period, the solar power park is dismantled and the land is restored to its original condition. There is also the option of keeping the land's layout for continued mowing or conversion to arable land.
As a landowner, you have opportunities to influence how the park will be built and what we in the area must take into account. By leasing out your land for a solar park or wind farm, you get an opportunity to increase your income from the land in addition to agriculture and/or forestry, with good and stable income for a long time. We naturally handle all authority contacts and costs.
For an energy storage, different large land surfaces are required depending on the size of the energy storage as below:
4 MW approx. 450 m2 (15m x 30m)
20 MW approx. 6600 m2 (60m x 110m)
A solar park occupies a larger area and for us to be able to establish a solar park approximately 10 hectares of land is required.
Our responsibility for land and environment
We take responsibility for further strengthening the conditions for, for example, pollinators, birds and bats by erecting insect hotels, nest boxes, shrubbery etc. within the area of our solar energy parks. We also ensure that existing wetlands are maintained and that any land drainage takes place in a way that promotes aquatic animals and insects with, for example, the construction of ponds.
We have full responsibility for the land that is leased, among other things we make sure that it is cleaned and looks nice, that covering bushes are trimmed and that meadow land is mowed. You as the land owner are informed about existing lines, cables, etc. that may be in the land.
The land used for solar production will most likely have better value after the lease term is over. Both because it can easily be used for new production of solar electricity, but also because the land will most likely, after lying fallow, be better suited for soil/forest/pasture than before if you choose not to establish a new solar park.
