Farmer's Advocate Office - Renewable Energy Guide - Navigating A Lease
Since it’s establishment in 1973, the Farmer’s Advocate Office (FAO) has been a consistent resource for Albertan farmers and ranchers.
Navigating a renewable energy lease is a complicated process for landowners, and the below document, Negotiating Renewable Energy, is designed to give those landowners the ability to ask informed questions about an incoming lease for wind or solar projects. This publication consolidates the relevant information from the various regulators, departments, and agencies within the province to streamline the learning required by landowners being approached about renewable energy projects. As an advocate, the FAO does not create policy, but will provide comment on existing laws and policies and work as a liaison between landowners, industry, government, and regulators.
Have you been approached about participating in a lease for wind or solar energy development? Are you anticipating this may happen in your area in the near future? Or are you just interested in information about the renewable energy leasing process? The Alberta’s Farmer’s Advocate Office (FAO) has a guide that can help!
