Organised and efficient, Beth has the ability to turn projects around quickly – and that’s what her landowning clients appreciate. Knowing this sector so well means she opens up conversations with developers, gets to grips with Heads of Terms and brings the best deal to the table.
Years of experience has furnished her with a great network of renewables developers which allows her to make informed decisions based on strong professional relationships. This connectivity helps with the process and enables (sometimes difficult) conversations which others perhaps couldn’t initiate.
Timeframes involved with any renewables project can be long and Beth’s understanding of the complete lifecycle of a development ensures no stone is left unturned – from negotiating the heads of terms, exchange of the option agreement and through to lease completion, she has it covered.
Beth’s tenacity assures clients that she always has their best interests at the forefront of negotiations. She knows when to push for a good deal, and when to compromise. Having been instrumental in coordinating one of the UK’s first multi-landowner unsubsidised solar sites is testament to her skills.
Beth is an expert in the sectors of solar energy and energy storage and provides clear advice to her clients whilst navigating complex transactions. Beth strives to achieve the best results for her clients, using her extensive network to progress any project she works on.
Beth has incredible drive to get the best possible outcome for her clients. Coupled with expert knowledge of the renewables sector Beth can be regarded as one of the leading land agents in the sector.
Winds of Change: Opportunities for landowners in renewables
With a recent ‘loosening’ of planning requirements in England, landowners need to be ready to take advantage of the long-term rental opportunities that onshore wind can present.
Switch on to the potential of Onshore Wind
The UK government might lift restrictions on onshore wind projects in England, which currently act as a ban on these developments. This brings huge opportunities for landowners. In this article, we talk you through where to start.
Rural spectator: Battery storage and Gas-to-Grid opportunities
The intermittent output of decentralised renewable electricity schemes, often mismatched with daily and seasonal increases in demand, has created additional opportunities for landowners. A number of developers are seeking sites for battery storage systems or established methods such as gas-to-grid generation. As with renewable schemes, the availability of a connection into the grid network, with adequate capacity in the local area, is critical.
