Analysis of lease agreements

14th January 2020 by Freccia Benn

Many projects have been running for up to 25 years since their initial lease agreements were signed. So if you have a lease which is due to expire, that gives you a valuable opportunity to improve your terms. Or you might have a new project which needs a new lease.

We’ve scrutinised hundreds of leases and advised landowners across the length and breadth of the UK. Our analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) in new lease agreements proposed by the energy company you work with will ensure you’re on the best terms and are getting the best out of your renewable energy project.

“In every instance Accounting for Energy have identified and recovered shortfalls in rent for my clients. Not only do the landowners receive back payments but they are also keen to show developers that they are being held to account.”

Chris Thyer MRICS FAAV

Land Agent, GSC Grays
“We don’t have comparable leases in renewable energy meaning there are few examples to draw from, so it’s always good to have checks and balances in place. We would recommend Accounting for Energy for their diligence.”

Ali Walker

Property Co-ordinator, Bath and Wells Diocese, Church of England
“The information provided by the turbine owner seemed to be comprehensive. The issue comes with knowing if all the data is complete and the audit was able to identify areas that we should have been receiving royalties on.”

Ben Ardern

Financial Controller, Dewlay Cheesemakers
“I worked with Travis on a set of arbitral proceedings to recover unpaid royalties on behalf of the landowners of a large renewable energy site. I was very inspired by his passion for his industry and his tireless commitment to getting the best results.”

Sarah Bishop,

Commercial Disputes Solicitor
“Travis is the go-to person for renewable energy landowner royalty payments. He gets into the details of a case, and is very tenacious in identifying and recovering any monies owed to landowners.”

Grant Jones,

Chartered accountant, solicitor and practising arbitrator
““I would recommend Accounting for Energy because they are clearly experts in this area, and they were good to work with. It was an easy
decision to get them on board because we really didn’t have the expertise or the time to be trawling through the lease and power purchase agreement.”

Nick Kenyon,

CEO, Dewlay Cheesemakers
