7 Wind Turbine Lease Considerations for Landowners

Planning permission for wind farm projects typically runs for 25 years, but turbines have a usable life that exceeds this. For this reason, most wind farm leases have previously run for 20-25 years with the option to renegotiate or repower down the line. More recently, we have seen an increase in the lease terms being offered by site developers.
