FAQ
Will my land lose value?
No, the land will not lose value. This is a myth often spread by opponents of wind farms. In reality, our projects are located exclusively on agricultural land, which continues to be used normally for farming, meaning it does not lose value. In fact, landowners benefit from a steady annual income through lease payments, often exceeding the income from agricultural activities. This means the value of such property increases by the amount of the lease revenue. Currently, lease payments average over 100,000 PLN per year for each installed turbine.
Studies conducted in Poland confirm that land prices in areas with wind farms have not decreased. In fact, the demand for land currently exceeds supply. Furthermore, the construction of wind farms improves local infrastructure, such as roads and transmission lines, and the resulting stable, high tax revenues over the next 25 years will modernize the entire municipality. All these factors increase the area’s attractiveness to investors and positively impact property values.
Why are lease agreements so long?
Building a wind farm is a large, long-term capital investment. Lease agreements are designed to ensure financial stability for both the investors and landowners and to protect the rights of both parties. They contain a range of provisions covering all important aspects so that both sides feel secure.
These agreements do not negatively impact the payment of due amounts — quite the opposite — everything is clearly regulated and properly secured.
Every landowner receives the draft lease agreement well in advance before signing. They have the opportunity to review it carefully and consult with a trusted lawyer. We are also available to discuss the agreement’s contents and answer any questions.
Does pouring concrete for turbine foundations damage the soil and lower its quality and value?
Modern construction technologies minimize environmental impact. For example, using low-carbon concrete and recycling construction materials can significantly reduce the carbon footprint and impact on the soil. Foundations can also be constructed using “piling” techniques, which reduce the size and footprint of the base. Wind turbine foundations cover a relatively small area compared to the total agricultural land. Most of the land around turbines remains available for regular farming use. After the end of the wind farm’s operation, the land will be reclaimed and restored to its original condition.
What happens to the turbine at the end of its operational life? Who removes it?
At the end of its operational period, the site is restored to its original state. The costs of dismantling and land reclamation are fully covered by the investor. Lease agreements ensure landowners are properly protected regarding this process.
