Growth in Renewable Energy Projects Could Prove Lucrative for Land Owners
Posted on
Pleased to have been featured in Farm Online discussing how renewable energy projects are creating new opportunities for Australian landowners! Riverland resident Cathy Kruger, unable to farm her 7ha due to high water prices, found a lucrative alternative by leasing her land for a solar farm. She now earns over $10,000 annually through a 40-year lease with a major energy company.
This is just one example of how Rok Solid is facilitating change. We’ve brokered over 30 land deals across multiple states, securing 4 gigawatts of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and 800 megawatts of solar projects. Some landowners earn significant passive income, with larger projects generating over a million dollars a year.
Our goal at Rok Solid is to guide landowners through the complexities of renewable energy projects, from land acquisition to development approvals. It’s about creating value for everyone involved while contributing to Australia’s ambitious sustainability targets. Let’s keep driving towards a greener future.
