Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have become a cornerstone of financing and operating renewable energy projects. Whether you’re a developer, investor, or energy consumer, understanding how PPAs work is essential for navigating the shift to clean energy and achieving sustainability goals.

Choosing the right location for a solar farm is crucial for its success. When selecting a site, developers must consider several factors. Geographical aspects like topography, climate, and solar irradiance are vital.

Renewable energy projects promise substantial returns, but they come with unique challenges that can derail even the most promising...

By purchasing the cash flow from landowners’ solar leases, investors can gain reliable income while supporting the transition to clean, renewable energy. This guide walks through how investors and developers can find and purchase solar lease payments from property owners that have leased their land for solar projects.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will stop funding solar and wind projects, announced Secretary Brooke Rollins in August 2025. Through the REAP Program, the USDA has invested more than $4 billion in energy projects for rural and farming communities.

Community engagement plays a critical role in ensuring these projects are successful and sustainable in the long run. Involving local commun

The global energy landscape stands at a crossroads. As nations commit to ambitious decarbonization goals, the path forward requires both...

Wind farm developers face a multitude of challenges that can impact the growth and profitability of their operations. While wind energy offers a promising avenue for sustainable power generation, developers must navigate a complex array of challenges to successfully bring their projects to fruition.

Power grid planning just got more precise. The LandGate platform has now introduced ATC ( Available Transfer Capacity ) and offtake capacity  data specifically for line taps , bringing the same comprehensive analysis we've provided for substations to this critical infrastructure component. This development addresses a longstanding challenge in grid analysis . Until now, engineers and planners have had to examine capacity data at both ends of a transmission line, then manually

The electricity grid stands at an inflection point. As renewable energy sources like wind and solar become increasingly cost-competitive,...

In this article, we will discuss some of the top solar energy developers in the US and their contributions to utility-scale solar development.

The energy landscape is shifting dramatically. As federal tax incentives like the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Production Tax Credit...

The solar energy industry finds itself in uncharted territory. The "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB) has introduced substantial changes to...

Change isn't just coming—it's here! At LandGate®, we're thrilled to share some groundbreaking news that marks a significant step forward...

Energy analytics for renewable energy development refers to the use of data analysis tools and techniques to optimize the production, distribution, and consumption of energy from renewable sources.

Available Transfer Capacity (ATC) data has emerged as one of the most important factors in the energy workflow, particularly in identifying potential areas for utility scale renewable energy projects and streamlining injection studies with upgrade cost analysis.

The energy sector has long operated under clouds of uncertainty. Developers make million-dollar site selections based on incomplete grid...

The Big Beautiful Bill is not a death sentence for solar. Instead, it’s a reshuffling of the (a) Renewable Energy, (b) US electrical infrastructure, and (c) Commercial Real Estate landscapes. States with (1) robust solar resource potential (site quality & availability, and supporting regulations) as well as (2) strong local incentives will rise to the top. States that relied on the ITC or PTC to close financial gaps will find themselves out of favor.

Determining the feasibility and efficiency of a solar energy project is no small feat. For developers venturing into solar farm projects, detailed and accurate data is paramount. One of the most valuable tools available is the 8760 report, a critical resource for planning, optimizing, and assessing solar developments.

Renewable energy financing refers to the various methods used to fund renewable energy projects. Multiple stakeholders, including developers, lenders, and equity investors, are often involved in these projects.
