BayWa r.e. offers you a comprehensive all-round carefree package – from site inspection and construction to system maintenance.

And even better, you’ll be making a valuable contribution to climate protection and to an independent, regional energy supply.

Leasing land: your advantages at a glance

Secure income without risk

BayWa r.e. will lease your land for at least 20 years. This guarantees you secure income in the long term thanks to stable lease prices. Wind and solar energy generate green electricity and an – also ecologically fair – income for you without risk.

Rich harvest despite barren soil

Even farmland with poor soil quality can be made profitable through solar or wind projects.

All-round, carefree package

We offer all services from a single source, from planning and approval procedures to maintenance. We are your experienced partner at eye level.

Agriculture and renewable energy all on one site

Modern wind turbines require little space. The unbuilt areas around the turbines can be farmed as usual during operation. In the solar sector, it is possible to combine photovoltaic (PV) installations with agricultural land use through Agri-PV. Learn more at our Agri-PV website.

Contribution to climate and species protection

As well as contributing to climate protection, solar and wind farms offer considerable added value for local biodiversity, if well-planned. At a well-planned solar farm, for example, the soil can regenerate, and native animal and plant species can colonise. With wind power projects, compensatory measures such as planting mixed tree varieties, which are less susceptible to the consequences of climate change, contribute to nature conservation. A win-win situation for people and nature!

Attractive participation models

Whether it's citizen electricity programmes, crowdfunding or taking responsibility for green maintenance, we actively look for ways that local communities can be part of our renewable energy projects.
