Boost the value of your municipal land with renewable energy

Do you want to accelerate and participate in the energy transition within your local authority? Do you have local land to develop? Do you want additional financial benefits for your region and to support the development of your municipality? Hosting a project allows you to meet these needs.

As an innovator and pioneer in new financial arrangements to encourage citizen and local investment, BayWa r.e. entered into a key partnership with La Banque des Territoires in 2019. This partnership allows the inclusion of public stakeholders, local authorities and departmental semi-public companies in some of our renewable energy projects, such as Quilly (44) and Clos neuf (22).

These great stories have been written together with local communities and we are determined to continue making new ones a reality.

Whether brownfield sites, business parks, or bodies of water: BayWa r.e. has the energy solutions to make the most of your region’s resources.

A financial benefit for your region

Rental income for the use of your land

To install and operate wind farms, photovoltaic plants, or storage projects, we search for suitable and compatible land for project development. As setting up this type of project requires control over the land, we propose the payment of rent for the entire lifespan of the project. Make the most of your unused land.

Enhance the value of your municipal land

Economic, environmental, and social benefits for your municipality

At BayWa r.e., projects are developed in close collaboration with the regions. At the same time, we propose practical measures that can be adapted to each region, enabling as many people as possible to enjoy the economic, social, and environmental benefits of a renewable energy project:

  • Opportunity to invest in the project for the local authority, businesses, and residents

  • Establishing synergies with local entities (businesses, Chambers of Agriculture, associations, Nature Conservatories, etc.)

  • Creation of local jobs during the development, construction, and operation of the wind farms

  • Support for home energy renovation projects

  • Crowdfunding

  • Support and guidance for local, sustainable agricultural, environmental, and social projects

  • Local, renewable electricity for local residents

The goal is to implement a sustainable approach that benefits all residents. We believe that local communities should be the primary beneficiaries of projects, and centre our approach on sharing value. Discover the initiatives already underway and read testimonials.
