RENEWABLE ENERGY

G Crossley and Son LTD. have been actively involved in major renewable energy projects since the late 1990s. With an extensive portfolio, Negotiating Renewable Energy developments for national power companies, our team provide an elite level of professional advice without losing that attentive service we are so proud to offer to both the landowner and developer.  

WIND

Wind farm technology has become a major factor in cutting CO2 emissions in an attempt to combat global warming. The first major land negotiation started with the Scout Moor Wind Farm. This was soon followed by the land and lease negotiations on Crook Hill Wind Farm, Todmorden Wind Farm and Reaps Moss.

Other involvement in proposed wind farms include: Rawtenstall, Gorpley Moor, Oswaldtwistle Moor and Rooley Moor and these have amounted over 250MegaWatt to date.

SOLAR

Solar farms are a relatively new venture for Crossley's. With solar panels becoming increasingly efficient, solar is quickly becoming the UK's preferred form of green energy production. From summer 2020, we are looking to lease appropriate sites across the UK for Solar development, making the landowners significant income without risk for up to 25 years.

In addition to a rental income, once the development process is completed, the grass land can reistated to it orginal use such as grazing Sheep.

BATTERY STORAGE

More recently, and with significant advances in battery technology, there has been a surge in demand for this type of project. Battery storage is a way that excess power that is being produced can be stored during low use times and released back into the grid when it is needed during peak times.

We have been involved in securing over 20 sites across England and Scotland. With currently over 200MegaWatt in the planning for early construction in 2020.
