Renewable Energy Land Partnerships
Helping Farmers & Landowners Unlock New Income from Their Land
Energy Trust Group Ltd works with farmers and rural landowners to explore opportunities for renewable energy development on suitable land.
With increasing pressure on agricultural income from livestock and crop production, many farms are looking for ways to diversify and generate stable long-term revenue. Renewable energy projects can provide an alternative source of income while supporting the UK’s transition toward cleaner energy.
We help landowners understand how their land may be suitable for renewable energy infrastructure and connect them with potential development opportunities.
Renewable Energy Opportunities for Rural Land
Making the most of the land you own
Energy Trust Group Ltd works with landowners interested in exploring renewable energy possibilities such as:
Renewable energy projects for you
Solar Energy Projects
Solar installations can utilise open land with good sun exposure and grid connection access.
Energy Storage Systems
Battery storage sites help balance electricity supply and demand within the national grid.
Anaerobic Digestion & Farm Waste Energy
Organic waste from livestock and crops can potentially be used to generate renewable energy through anaerobic digestion systems.
Land for Energy Infrastructure
Some land may be suitable for energy infrastructure supporting electricity generation and grid stability.
Fast Ox Waste-to-Energy Systems
Fast Ox gasification is an advanced waste-to-energy technology that can convert agricultural waste into usable energy. This process uses extremely high temperatures to break down organic material such as livestock waste, crop residue, and other farm by-products.
Instead of traditional combustion, Fast Ox technology converts waste into synthetic gas (syngas), which can then be used to generate electricity or heat.
For farms producing large volumes of organic waste, this technology may provide an opportunity to turn waste streams into a valuable energy resource while reducing disposal costs.
Potential benefits may include:
• Converting livestock and crop waste into energy
• Reducing agricultural waste disposal issues
• Supporting on-site or local electricity generation
• Creating an additional revenue stream for farms
• Supporting the transition toward renewable energy
Energy Trust Group Ltd aims to explore opportunities where farm waste resources can be used more efficiently to support renewable energy production.
Wind Energy Opportunities
Wind power can offer farmers and rural landowners an opportunity to generate renewable electricity while maintaining the use of their land for agriculture.
Modern wind turbines can be installed on suitable farmland with strong wind resources and access to grid infrastructure. In many cases, farming activities such as livestock grazing or crop production can continue around turbine installations.
For some landowners, wind energy projects may provide a long-term additional income stream through land leasing or energy generation agreements.
Potential benefits may include:
• Long-term lease income from turbine installations
• Continued agricultural use of surrounding land
• Contribution to renewable electricity generation
• Supporting the UK’s transition to cleaner energy sources
• Diversifying farm income alongside traditional agriculture
Energy Trust Group Ltd works with landowners interested in exploring whether their land may be suitable for wind energy development and renewable energy partnerships.
