Utility-Scale & Solar Farms

A ground-mounted plant turns suitable land into a productive asset generating long-term revenue: the energy can be sold to the grid or remunerated through available incentive schemes. With a useful life that can exceed 25-30 years, it offers relatively predictable cash flows, low operating costs and partial protection against inflation and energy prices.

Not all land is equal. Feasibility depends on zoning, landscape and environmental constraints, suitable-area regulations, orientation, slope, access and the possibility of grid connection. Before assessing returns we always carry out a preliminary technical, permitting and grid-connection feasibility study.

Returns depend on installed capacity, irradiation, construction cost, annual production, the energy price and any incentives. A proper business plan also accounts for module degradation, maintenance, insurance, management, financing costs and energy-price variations, to estimate payback, annual yield and 10-, 20- and 30-year returns.

Yes. Land can be bought or secured through long-term contracts such as surface rights, provided they are compatible with the project and its bankability. Site selection is part of the investment: beyond price, what matters is production potential, permitting and, above all, the availability and cost of grid connection.

A ground-mounted plant occupies the soil with modules; agrivoltaics integrates PV production with farming, keeping crops or grazing under and between the structures. Agrivoltaics is often the way to add value to farmland while staying within suitable-area rules: we assess together which configuration is permittable and more profitable in your case.

Timelines depend on size, location and the applicable permitting procedure, and can take several months. New Energy manages the whole development — feasibility study, permits, grid connection, construction and operation — with a single partner accountable for the result.
