Earn money from your land: rent us your land for a wind turbine.
For landowners who would like to earn some money from a relatively small plot of land, without the costs of owning your own turbine, we offer a land rental option.
We are actively seeking sites within Cornwall to install:
- Endurance 55kW turbine
Unlike solar farms, micro wind croft developments require minimal land use so you can continue to use your land for its current use. We only require access for maintenance work.
What Sites Are We Looking For?
The following information is provided for guidance to allow for initial scoping.
| Endurance 55kW | |
|---|---|
| Minimum distance from properties or garden areas | 250m |
| Maximum distance to 3-phase supply | 800m |
| Minimum distance from hedgerows | 50m |
- Not in a conservation area
- Wind speeds in excess of 6m/s at 25m (we will carry out a feasibility study before providing you with an option agreement)
The Process
Timescales are provided as an indication only.
- Feasibility (1 month)
Initial contact with Capture – we carry out site visit & investigate wind speed, grid connection and pre-application planning advice.
- Option agreement (1 month)
If we believe your site is suitable we will provide you with an option agreement. We will cover your solicitor’s fees (subject to a reasonable maximum).
- Planning (3-6 months)
We agree to submit a planning application following the signing of all option agreements.
- Land Rental Contract (1 month)
Following successful planning approval both parties will sign the land rental contract.
- Project Delivery (3-4 months)
After the land rental contract has been signed we will install the turbine(s).
- Operation
Rental payments will be made every 3 months following commissioning. It is expected that operational life will be 20 years.
Payment Options
We offer two payment options;
- Fixed annual income
- % of earnings from generation
