Intended for use within the UK, the standard is essential reading for all members who are asked to advise in relation to renewable energy schemes.

This document provides a base level of guidance on the negotiation of options and leases for onshore renewable energy schemes; it also considers issues to be taken into account by surveyors acting on behalf of landowners or developers in relation to potential schemes.

The standard outlines the likely parties to be involved and considers the possible structures of the various agreements and the processes that may be followed. The main emphasis is an outline of the terms which might be negotiated and included in such agreements and an outline of the structure for rental payments and further considerations which may be applicable.
