At the core of a wind energy project’s overall value is the security, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and stability of the project’s land rights. The tool for capturing this value is a wind energy lease agreement or easement agreement that protects a developer’s investment and provides reliable income to the landowner, while offering both parties the flexibility and security necessary to transfer all or portions of the project over its lifetime.
