A commercial wind energy lease is a contract between a landowner and a wind energy company that allows the company to erect and operate a wind turbine on the land. The landowner agrees to allow the turbine to be built and operated on their land in exchange for a lease payment, typically paid annually. The lease agreement will also specify how long the turbine can remain on the land, and what happens to it when the lease expires.
