Renewables are still an attractive option for rural estates
With the ending of the Feed-in-Tariff and Renewables Obligation (RO) schemes in April 2019, it is commonly thought that renewables are no longer a viable option for new projects.

In the past 12 months we have contracted on over 400MWP of solar PV projects alone; matching landowners and developers effectively and intelligently in order to maximise the chances of project success. These will utilise cumulatively 1,200-1,500 acres of land.
All of these projects envisage the incorporation of batteries alongside solar PV. In addition, we are seeing renewed interest in on-shore wind projects in the north of England, Wales, and Scotland. Rents achievable by landowners are similar to during the subsidy era, 2010-2019.
Developer interest in suitable land for anaerobic digestion, other waste-to-energy projects and biomass, also remains strong.
