Electric Land is a specialist investor and developer of Powered Land across the UK and Europe. We provide the capital and expertise that release value from the land beneath energy and digital infrastructure — from solar, wind and battery storage to flexible generation and data centres.

Land with a secured grid connection and the consents to host infrastructure. It is the real bottleneck in the energy and digital transition — and it is where we focus. We help the people who own and develop that land turn its long-term value into capital today.

Through Electric Land Investors we acquire freehold land and the long-term lease income beneath operational and consented energy projects. We can buy the land, the rental income, or both — and tailor the structure to what you are trying to achieve.

Solar/PV, onshore wind, battery energy storage (BESS), EV charging, flexible generation, and data centres. If a project sits on land with power, it is of interest to us.

A single sum today, in place of decades of future rent, removes the risk that an operator defaults, fails or renegotiates the rent downward — and gives you capital you can put to work now, whether that is reinvesting, reducing borrowing, funding the next stage of the business, or planning ahead for the family.

Often, yes. Many of the landowners we work with don’t need the money — they value the certainty and the choices it creates. Capital is simpler to divide among a family or an estate than land and a lease are, and it removes a long-dated income’s dependence on a single tenant staying solvent for 25 to 40 years.

The headline rents may add up to a larger number on paper, but that ignores the time value of money, inflation over decades, single project risk and the genuine risk that payments stop. Our offer reflects the value of certain capital now against income you would wait years for and might not receive in full.

Yes. The operator stays in place as tenant under a lease buy-out, so nothing changes on the ground — we simply become the “landowner”. Your relationship with the operator continues as before. You will continue to be the original owner of the land beyond the lease period.

Usually. We can put a non-disclosure agreement in place. Most confidentiality clauses permit disclosure to a prospective purchaser, and where there is any doubt we will work alongside you and your operator to resolve it before going further.

It can be. Rental income and a capital receipt are taxed under different regimes, and which is more efficient depends entirely on your circumstances. It is one of the first things worth reviewing with your adviser when you consider an offer.

The reforms to APR and BPR, alongside wider inheritance tax changes, have prompted many landowners to revisit how land and long-term lease income sit within their estate. Converting a long-dated income into capital can change that picture — for better or worse depending on your plans — which is exactly why it is worth evaluating properly with an adviser.

It varies: reinvesting into assets that better suit their goals, buying additional land or property, reducing debt, funding the business, or simplifying succession. The common thread is choice — cash capital is more flexible than a fixed future income.

Three ways. (i) ELI buys the land beneath your project and leases it back, releasing capital tied up in real estate so you can redeploy it into your pipeline. (ii) ELI can provide an intervening lease to provide upfront capital towards construction or during operations in exchange for rental payments. (iii) ELP creates ready-to-build sites that we lease to operators to construct and operate storage and flexible generation projects.

You sell us the land under your project and immediately lease it back on long, stable terms. You keep full operational control and continuity of site; we take on the ownership of the land and the long-term horizon. It improves your project returns and frees capital without disrupting the asset.

We can engage across the project lifecycle — pre-construction to FID / under construction / operational.

Yes. We work on single assets or on a programmatic basis across a pipeline, in the UK and across Europe, with capital that lets us move at the pace a transaction needs.

Typically your executed lease, your most recent rent statement, and basic title information. From that we can move quickly to an indicative price.

We aim to provide an indicative offer within 3-5 business days of reviewing your lease, and to complete within 3-4 weeks of agreeing terms.

We become the landowner and the operator continues as tenant under the lease. As a long-term owner rather than a trader, our interest is in the asset running smoothly for the duration — not in moving it on.

Around 455 hectares of land, 1.9 GW of operational capacity and a pipeline of roughly 4.5 GW across solar, wind, storage, flexible generation and other energy assets.

We invest long-term institutional and pension fund capital. We are backed by Stonepeak’s global renewables fund.

Across the UK and Europe, from our offices at 14–16 Great Pulteney Street, London W1F 9ND and Domstraße 10, 20095 Hamburg, Germany.

Yes. Electric Land Digital develops ready-to-build co-location, hyperscale, AI and edge sites across the UK and Europe for the data centre market — the digital half of the powered-land story.

No. We assume all development costs and risk – site assessment, grid applications, planning and legal work are all funded by us. There’s no financial outlay or exposure for you at any stage.

Yes. During the development period you continue using the site as normal under a land option agreement. Nothing changes on the ground until the project is consented and ready to build.

You receive an option fee during the development period, followed by a land purchase lump sum once the project enters construction phase.

Development to ready-to-build usually takes 2–3 years, depending on planning and grid connection timescales.

Modern battery storage is built to strict UK and EU safety standards, with fire detection, suppression and management designed in from the outset and agreed with local fire services through the planning process.

Very little. Once terms are agreed, we manage the entire process – planning, grid, legal and construction – and keep you updated throughout.
