Renewable energy development is\u00a0growing at a rapid rate\u00a0as the cost to build solar and wind has been decreasing rapidly. In addition, energy storage is expected to provide cost-effective energy security, like a backup generator for those summer electricity spikes. Belltown projects transform economically underutilized land into a clean energy source that will meet long-term energy needs. At Belltown, we develop high-quality utility-scale solar, wind, and energy storage projects contributing to clean and predictable energy. Belltown is also a landowner itself, bringing direct insight and a long-term commitment to its renewable energy projects.<\/p>\n

Solar has been ranked as the #1 or #2 source of new generation capacity for the last 7 years. In 2019, solar was 40% of all new electric capacity installed in the US (largest share in history). Texas alone was ranked #3 nationally in solar for 2019 and is ranked #2 in anticipated growth projection over the next 5 years. Energy storage is also on the rise in Texas, quickly being built alongside utility-scale solar farms.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Secure and stable source of power with low environmental impact. Solar farms are self-contained and make virtually no sound, emit no odor, and have a similar profile to a cornfield prior to harvest.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Our projects provide stable revenue for landowners while developing your land into a productive asset. The solar farm generates increased local tax revenue over the life of the project. The increased economic development from the project creates construction jobs and benefits local contractors and companies.<\/p>\n
Belltown works with property owners and local communities on renewable energy projects that support the clean energy transition.<\/em>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjM2MyJ9fQ==@” button_text=”CONTACT US” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#ffffff 0%|#e2e2e2 100%” background_color_gradient_start=”#ffffff” background_color_gradient_end=”#e2e2e2″ custom_padding=”80px|80px|80px|80px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”60px|40px|60px|40px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”40px|20px|40px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider divider_weight=”16px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”10%” custom_margin=”0px||6px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/belltownpower.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lo-landowners-02.jpg” title_text=”lo-landowners-02″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” animation_direction=”left” scroll_vertical_motion=”0|50|50|100|2|0|0″ hover_enabled=”0″ border_width_all=”8px” border_color_all=”#FFFFFF” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text ol_position=”outside” ol_item_indent=”40px” admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ ol_line_height=”2em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Belltown has experience in acquiring tens of thousands of acres for renewable energy projects and works diligently on identifying the best land through local jurisdictions, permitting authorities, and landowner interest.

No other uses can promise that kind of certainty without permanent loss of a property. By adding revenue from a solar lease, you will diversify your income, raise your income certainty and lower the risk your land will not be profitable. These are all important factors in maintaining land within families and ensuring that the land can be used again in the future.<\/p>\n Low Impact<\/strong> – Solar projects are low impact with little or no permanent loss of land. They are low to the ground (approximately 10-12 feet above grade), require minimal foundations, and the equipment can be easily removed from the ground when the project is decommissioned. This means the land can be restored to how it was before the project is built.<\/p>\n Dual Land Use<\/strong> \u2013 Belltown works in partnership with Landowners to maintain other uses on solar properties. As well as encouraging livestock grazing, solar creates opportunities for pollinator-friendly habitat which benefits local farms. The creation of stable habitat also helps reduce runoff and improves water quality, two important issues for rural communities.<\/p>\n Community Benefits<\/strong> \u2013 Solar projects provide increased property taxes, jobs during construction, and opportunities for educational programs with local schools. Belltown is a committed and responsible developer ensuring that those benefits are maximized for local people who live in the communities where the projects are located. This ensures our projects are well received.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#ffffff 0%|#e2e2e2 100%” background_color_gradient_start=”#ffffff” background_color_gradient_end=”#e2e2e2″ custom_padding=”80px|80px|80px|80px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”60px|40px|60px|40px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”40px|20px|40px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider divider_weight=”16px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”10%” custom_margin=”0px||6px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text ol_position=”outside” ol_item_indent=”16px” admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ ol_line_height=”2em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Belltown will assess your land to see if it is suitable for solar and provide you with attractive lease terms.
