Energy Rights

What are Energy Rights?

Energy rights are a real property interest used to develop clean, renewable and distributed energy generation, microgrids, and virtual power plants.

Transform your property through Energy Rights Development

Nine times out of ten, it just doesn’t make sense to finance solar as a commercial real estate owner.

As a tenant in a commercial property, saving money with solar energy is a ‘no brainer’ but you may not qualify for financing, or it’s unclear how to work with the landlord to do so.

Typically, solar financing requires a personal/company guarantee or a tax assessment – both are major barriers for commercial real estate owners and tenants.

Energy Rights Development is a real estate solution that unlocks property value on-site using solar, batteries, and other cleantech and is structured specifically to benefit owners and tenants while eliminating the barriers that often exist for both parties.

How does Energy Rights Development work?

Property Qualification

Every property has energy rights.

Determining whether to develop your property’s energy rights comes down to a few qualifying factors:

1) Available space,

2) Current electricity pricing, and

3) Development Costs.

Energy Rights Development

Energy rights development is a real estate approach to on-site energy upgrades, including distributed generation, microgrids, and VPPs.

Using a real estate approach optimizes value and mitigates risks, while accelerating deployment and innovation.

Energy rights development also addresses the major issues associated with CapEx financing, solar leases and PPAs, PACE, ESAs, and rooftop leases.

Optimizing On-site Generation

Building electrification, EV charging for tenants and fleets, AI data centers, DeFi, and a host of new technologies are driving the demand for on-site energy upgrades.

Commercial real estate owners, investors, and cleantech professionals have the opportunity to provide clean, renewable, and resilient electricity at competitive costs to local utilities by generating and managing electricity on-site.

As with other ancillary real estate revenues, deployment questions include:

1) how best to optimize the value of this cash flow,

2) whether to bring the function in-house or work with a 3rd party, and

3) whether to utilize property-level CapEx funds, traditional financing, a solar lease or PPA, PACE, lease the rooftop, or…develop your energy rights as real property.
