Working with Landowners
Landowners/farmers understand the importance and benefit of diversifying their activities. They know that in order to pay the bills, particularly in challenging economic times, they constantly have to look for ways to generate revenue from the land. With today’s advances in wind and solar power development, farmers can grow crops on the ground and generate power from the air and sun – all on the same piece of property. The lease payments for land with installed wind turbines, solar panels or battery storage can provide a stable supplement to a farmer’s income and help balance fluctuations in market prices. Harvesting the wind and sun can help save the family farm, thus keeping an area rural.
wpd is looking for opportunities to work with landowners to develop wind farms in New Brunswick, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.
