      What we do/ Sustainability/ Renewable Energy

      Renewable Energy

      Rapidly growing our renewable energy capacity is essential to reducing our carbon impact and increasing our energy independence. For landowners and renewables developers the challenge is to unlock this opportunity in a way that benefits all.

      CRYSTAL RIG WIND FARM

      Now in its fourth phase, Crystal Rig Wind Farm is a significant, renewable energy installation.

      Developing energy and renewables projects can be complex and time-consuming. Our experts are working across the UK with landowners and developers to bring them to fruition.

      Since the 1990s we’ve been at the forefront of energy & renewables, seeking opportunities to provide insight and advise our clients on wind, solar and hydro power.

      As experts in renewable energy with a deep commitment to climate change, we play a pivotal role in supporting landowners and developers to realise the opportunities in the zero-carbon transition. 

      We have been directly involved from the very first large-scale onshore wind farm installations. From replacing these assets when they reach the end of their operational lives, to advising on solar and hydro schemes and emerging technologies such as hydrogen, biomass and anaerobic digestion - we are the go-to team in energy and renewables. 

      We uniquely understand the requirements of both the landowner and renewables developer and have the expertise to put the property piece of the renewables’ jigsaw into place.  

      With unparalleled knowledge built up over 30 years we’ll help you negotiate a deal that will not only lead to a deliverable renewables scheme but provide appropriate compensation and give both parties peace of mind.

      Ros has built a formidable team in Scotland with a deep bank of knowledge in all areas of renewable energy project management. Lesley Kelly in particular has provided 3R Energy with first class support across all aspects of legal land management, including (but not limited to) Servitudes, Options, Leases and renegotiation of Lease life terms. I could not recommend Ros and Lesley’s Renewables team at Bidwells highly enough
