Are you a farmer or landowner looking to diversify your income and future-proof your land?
Join us at Hartpury Digital Innovation Farm for an exclusive seminar hosted by Alastair Frew, head of renewables, to discuss the key elements of a solar farm development option and lease, from the basic commercial terms to have in place and whether you should consider site remediation at the end of the term.
This event is designed to help you explore the commercial, legal, and practical opportunities of solar energy development on rural land. We will address the need to connect to the grid and whether or not battery storage can be a valuable addition. You’ll also be introduced to the important taxation concerns and hear a review of recent case law.
The session will cover:
- Solar Panels – an introduction
- 50MW threshold – Feed in Tariffs and Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects
- Substations – key terms
- Crop loss
- Green Credits
Solar is proving to be an effective diversification strategy for many farmers and landowners. Join us on 5 August to find out more about the opportunities it can offer to you.
