Renewable Energy
Representing landowners, grazing associations, small developers and landowner groups in wind and solar energy transactions.
Where We Excel
Leveraging experience and expertise to work for you
We represent landowners, grazing associations, small developers and landowner groups in wind and solar energy transactions and projects across six states (CO, KS, NE, NM, TX, and WY). We have extensive experience negotiating wind and solar agreements with small, medium and large developers including easements and leases, options, cooperation and meteorological agreements, and project sales. We have been invited to share our knowledge through presentations on wind and solar easement and lease issues at local, state and national conferences.
Locally Focused
We limit our renewable energy development work to local interests and a handful of small (mostly community-scale project) developers. This allows us to represent landowners opposite nearly all developers (particularly large developers) while giving us a stronger understanding of the developer’s perspective and requirements for more efficient transaction negotiations for landowner interests.
Tools for Efficiency
We strive for efficiency in evaluating and negotiating agreements with developers. To this end, we maintain a database of option and easement/lease forms and transaction summaries from which we have developed a set of tools designed to efficiently evaluate the developer and evaluate and structure agreements.
Principles of Practice Areas
We help landowners preserve their rights for existing and future property uses, mineral development opportunities and other renewable energy development opportunities (e.g., small and/or community wind and solar).
We verify the developer’s ability and resources and identify any competing developer projects that may need attention.
We verify the status and development potential of a proposed project and evaluate how the property fits within the overall project plan.
We evaluate the projected course of development to identify and avoid land-banking, transmission plays and blocking strategies that would employ use of the property.
We identify signing fees, option fees, damage/installation fees, royalties, minimum royalties and other fees (e.g. road, transmission and substation fees) that might affect a transaction.
