Capital Investment Opportunity:

TEXAS WIND ENERGY ROYALTY RIGHTS FOR SALE!

 Landowner Selling Active Wind Turbine Rights To Potential Buyers!

There is a landowner in Texas (USA) that owns 53,000 acres of land.  He also owns all the mineral rights, oil and natural gas rights, and wind energy rights.  He says that there is more oil per square foot in Texas than what Saudi Arabia has in the Middle East.  This may be also a good fit for foreign investment located outside of the USA as well.  The US is still the number one safe haven for business opportunities worldwide. 

The landowner also has just signed another agreement with Sun Edison to build two more wind farms on his property.  Please advise if interested. 

EHS Energy is a management firm that deals with the full impact of wind energy projects related to land lease agreements and financial issues worldwide.

Update: The wind energy royalty rights sector is still a maturing market.  We have many new capital investors that have entered this sector offering fair market buyout opportunities to the seller and are largely interested in solar and wind farm royalties. 

I am also looking for sellers located in the UK and abroad.

CASHING IN ON WIND ENERGY ROYALTY RIGHTS

When Selling Active Wind Turbine Leases to Third Party Investors.

Wow. What a market whirlwind for the 2014 American Farmer with commodity prices downgraded and global competition on the rise.  Where can “Joe Farmer” make a sound profit in this weakening producer market, and bring home the bacon if he is expected to lose money at the start of this planting season? 

With major wind farm development and build-out in most states, some landowners just need to look out the back door and strategize.

Over the years, I have written numerous articles on wind energy and land lease subject matter.  And as this energy market continues to mature in the U.S. and abroad, a growing number of investment companies are now offering lump sum cash payments to acquire wind turbine royalty rights.

These transactions largely mirror what happens in the oil and natural gas industry when a landowner is selling his/her royalty and/or mineral rights to a third party investor. 

Typically, this is how it works.  Most wind turbine buyout offers are solely based on the gross annual income as paid to the property owner by the wind farm developer. 

The potential buyer will review your wind energy lease and annual royalty payment income structure to determine its present value.  The investor will then offer a specific amount for the transfer of all ground lease/royalty rights that remain with the existing wind farm agreement.  Note: This is the time when the seller (wind turbine host) should negotiate additional rights for monetary value.  

Upon agreement, all wind lease royalty rights are released to the buyer when the contract agreement is fully executed after seeking verifiable receipt of annual payment stubs.  

These types of buyout offers are payable in the form of a lump sum cash payment to the landowner normally within 30 days. 

 

I have recently dealt with a property owner that sold his royalty rights to the highest bidder.  His property had three turbines and he sold his remaining rights to an investment firm that offered $73,000 per turbine (a total of $219,000).

Now lets strategize!  Why should one want to sell their royalty rights?  Because...business management decisions always boil down to risk verses reward, which are as follows:

·       (REWARD) Reinvestment Option:  Cash out and buy  more land tax-free using a 1031 like kind exchange.  Invest in  additional real estate, stock options, or farm equipment to avoid paying capital gains tax (as applicable).
 

·       (REWARD) Selling the Farm: Cash out and collect all royalty rights upfront before selling off the farm, land and other assets.

·       (REWARD) Increase Royalty Rights:  Increase fair market value by putting royalty rights out for bid to multiple buyers. 
 

·       (RISK) Bankruptcy:  Flower Ridge Wind Farm (Benton Co., IN) is currently suing Duke Energy over a contractual dispute for trying to back out of buying its power.

·       (RISK) Life Expectancy:  Wind farm agreements pay out over the long term (20 to 60 plus years) which usually out live the landowner.

·       (RISK) Market Liquidity:  The Consumer Price Index (CPI) that is written into the wind farm land lease doesn’t adequately increase with actual inflation over time. 

·       (RISK) Weak US Dollar:  Our government is broke, tax rates will increase and the dollar will be worth less over time.

·       (RISK) Loss of Income:  Tornadoes can wipe out turbines which may not be rebuilt; no more royalty checks.

Capitalize on the value of your wind turbine lease.

 

A new industry trend is that there are companies offering wind lease buyouts.

Why Landowners Sell Their Wind Turbine Lease?

                   

By converting your lease to a lump sum payment you maintain ownership and the right to sell your property at any time but also eliminate the risk that your lease may be cancelled or your rent decreased due to any number of factors.

 

Freedom of investment and elimination of day-to-day site management hassles are also major benefits of converting your lease into a lump sum. A transaction can also create an opportunity for favorable tax treatment and quick cash. 

 

Normal exchange offer for a wind lease buyout include the following:

• Lump sum payment is paid 100% in cash within usually 30 days.
• All legal and closing costs are paid by the buyer.

To entertain an offer the seller must provide:

• Copy of lease
• History of lease payments

This is what a landowner could do prior to selling their land.  Sell the value of the leases first then the land and other assets.

Major Wind Power Development and Obstruction Issues

Wind companies wasted no time in securing land acquisitions near existing power transmission sources with ample grid capacity. However, the lack of major transmission line access is causing a back log for other “Wind Energy” projects waiting in the wings. Another drawback of rapid acquisitions is eminent domain consequences. For example, in Michigan’s thumb area, there is currently an uproar as viable farm land is being taken by the state through the use of eminent domain to provide the wind companies with access to major grid lines.

Added renewable energy development for future wind projects is solely dependent on utility right-of way easements for simple power transportation to retail markets. These issues are just the beginning of big problems that spell trouble for landowner’s because many planned projects awaiting consent need appropriate infrastructure to attract investment capital.

Market analysts’ project that over 17,000 miles of additional heavy duty power lines are needed throughout the Midwest region to build future wind projects. This interstate-like superhighway system for portable power commerce is needed so that electrical power may supply other areas unable to meet their own peak energy demand.

MISO, the electric grid operator for the Midwest, is responsible for maintaining our current system. It is responsible for directing and balancing power load issues, where necessary, in order to meet real-time market supply and demand conditions. However, mismanagement of excessive power supply or not being able to transport it to other regions of the country is a major hit to any energy developer’s pocketbook.

This means that wind turbine farms or high-power line structures are very important to the developer for economic reasons. Conversely, the placement of turbines or high-powered electric line structures can quickly become a major obstruction or payment issue to the landowner.

Most of the time landowners are kept in the dark as to where the structures will be placed on their property. Initial site layout maps always seem to come after the property owner sign the contract which, of course, is always subject to change unless circumvented prior to signing with adequate legal review.

Therefore, knowing the exact placement of coordinates and relative structural information given to the landowner may provide a temporary advantage. Especially if the landowner finds out through appropriate government agencies that no turbines or structures were ever intended to be placed on their farmland. This can quickly change the dynamics for lease signing opportunities.

Wind developers are required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FFA) to submit a site layout plan for final review. FAA regulatory obstruction rules require a minimum of 8 to 12 month lead-time before the agency may grant final approval for development. This official information can be used to map out and pinpoint the exact geographic coordinates for each turbine or structure many months before construction commences. All recorded coordinates are accurate to within the nearest second or hundredths of a second and changing any initial site locations would require re-approval.

FAA site layout plans are the quickest and easiest way to gain access to knowing the exact coordinates of a proposed wind turbine or high-powered line structure location. Landowners must understand that hosting these structures can impact farming operations for a long time to come and can actually be somewhat cumbersome to farming practices. Consider your options carefully! These obstructions may also cause additional problems related to personal safety and landscape views relative to quite enjoyment of your property.
