Maximise Revenue from Wind, PV & BESS Projects
How Landowners Can Maximise Income from Wind, PV, and BESS Projects
Germany's ambitious energy transition has created new opportunities for landowners to utilise their properties through renewable energy projects. With the country's goal to achieve 80% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2035, the demand for suitable land for wind, photovoltaic (PV), and battery energy storage systems (BESS) is increasing.
Optimising Land Use for Renewable Projects
Landowners can significantly boost their income by leasing land for renewable energy installations. For instance, leasing land for PV systems can generate between €3,000 and €5,000 per hectare annually, depending on factors such as location, soil quality, and system size.
Understanding the Tender Process
Renewable energy projects in Germany often go through competitive tenders. In the recent innovation tender, the Federal Network Agency received bids amounting to over 2 GW, four times the available capacity, with awarded tariffs ranging from €0.0500 to €0.0639 per kWh for combined PV and BESS projects.
The Importance of Contract Negotiations
Effective contract negotiations are crucial for landowners. Well-structured agreements ensure fair compensation and protect land rights. It's important to consider factors such as lease duration, payment terms, and responsibilities for maintenance and decommissioning.
