Location Considerations for Energy Companies and Developers

• Competitive and Market Analysis: Identifying existing turbine locations helps avoid saturated markets, keep tabs on the competition, and ensures smooth project expansions.
  
• Site Suitability: Evaluating the geographical features of a build site such as wind speeds, topography, elevation, and soil suitability. 
  
• Community Impact: If considering a site close to a populated area, consider public opinion and address concerns about factors like noise and aesthetics. 
  
• Load Balancing: Strategic placement of turbines in relation to local infrastructure, like substations and transmission lines, which can be located using Acres’ Layer Library.
  Government Incentives: Some locations may qualify for subsidies or tax credits, boosting income.
  
• Environmental Assessment: Consider local wildlife and habitats when selecting wind turbine sites to avoid displacement, death of aerial animals, or potential habitat disruption. 
  
  Acres offers national insights and dozens of mapping layers to assist developers in project planning and site searches. 

Financial Benefits for Landowners

• Land Leases: Landowners can lease parts of their property to wind energy developers, earning annual payments for allowing turbine installations.
  
• Tax Incentives: Many jurisdictions offer tax breaks for hosting renewable energy projects, lowering the landowner’s tax burden.
