You technically could have a wind job without even stepping foot into an interview session or sending in a resume. As long as you are participating in the wind energy movement and getting money for it, then you actually are doing a wind job. Here is one way you can contribute to wind energy and line your pocket at the same time.
You can choose to lease your land to a wind energy developer that operates on a commercial scale. The project developer compensates you for allowing it to set up a wind energy turbine on your land. Note that you should consult a lawyer to help you to navigate the lease/easement agreement you must sign with the wind turbine developer. You simply are being paid to give up some of your property for the development; don’t expect to have to operate or install the turbine yourself.
The larger the turbine that is being installed on your property, the higher return you should see. On average, expect to receive anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 per turbine. You also might receive up to 4 percent of the wind energy developer’s gross revenues or even between $3,000 and $4,000 per megawatt of wind capacity. Your compensation might even include a cost-of-living adjustment.
A huge positive of entering into an agreement with a wind energy developer is that the agreement typically covers a period of about 25 years. That might be able to carry you to retirement, depending on your age. With a wind turbine possessing a base diameter of about 4 to 5 yards, not much space is required for a single unit. In addition, wind energy turbines are not excessively noisy and have been shown not to negatively impact the value of property.
As a result, your next wind energy job, depending on your property, might be closer to home than you think.
