Our farmer and rancher land partners agree to provide their land to help Alberta transition from fossil-fueled electricity sources to pristine, quiet renewable energy for the long run. Transitioning from an agricultural land use to a clean energy land use is straightforward. Hosting a clean energy project provides strong, predictable, long-term revenues with no exposure to commodity fluctuations, input costs nor unfavorable weather. In most cases, the value of a long-term solar lease is greater than the long-term net returns from crop agriculture. A lease everyone can feel good about. Grid scale solar electricity projects require upwards of one section of land. We look for lands that are near existing electricity transmission lines with available connection capacity. Not all lands are equivalent for solar development and environmental features such as birds’ nests (raptors) and wetlands must be avoided. We are looking for the lands with the largest clear areas for development, i.e. buildable area. During the operation of a solar facility, lands within it cannot be seeded and harvested with crops but are still suitable for grazing, such as with sheep. We re-seed the entire solar facility with natural local grasses to minimize weed growth. From the outside we can plant trees or hedges to lessen the visual impact of the facility on the landscape.
