However, fast-changing government policy, volatility in energy markets and varying financial incentives, mean Joint Ventures with third parties cannot be entered into lightly.

We work closely with farmers and landowners to ensure they generate maximum income, whilst ensuring their long-term interests are protected.

Whether its solar panels, wind turbines, biomass, energy from waste, or other forms of energy generation, we are able to advise our clients:

• Business case analysis
• Negotiation of option agreements
• Leases and land occupancy arrangements
• Planning permission for renewable projects
• Liaison with energy and utility companies

There are many factors that will decide whether investment in renewable technologies will be beneficial to the business, so all options need to be explored fully.
