Who we serve
Your land has a second career waiting.
Saga Energy leases rural and peri-urban land across the country for solar, battery storage, and wind. Whether you have ten acres or a thousand, we'd like to talk.
What your land might support
10 to 100 acres
This size parcel is an excellent fit for small utility-scale solar projects or standalone battery storage, often connected at the distribution level. The development arc is typically one to two years from lease option to construction start, and the lease itself runs 25 to 30 years. Leases at this scale are designed to give you reliable long-term income that escalates over time, while keeping your land ready for other compatible uses like pollinator habitat or perimeter grazing.
100 acres or more
Larger parcels unlock the full range of what renewable energy can do for your land. The primary opportunity at this scale is utility-scale solar paired with distributed battery storage, which together deliver the most value to the grid, the most reliable long-term income to the landowner, and the cleanest permitting story locally. A project of this size typically sits on 500 to 1,500+ acres with fenced array blocks, perimeter setbacks, and a dedicated point of interconnection into the local transmission or distribution grid.
Where resource and transmission support it, utility-scale wind is also possible on properties of this scale. Wind's footprint is notably small for landowners: a single turbine and its access road take only a few percent of a parcel, and the rest stays in whatever use it was already in.
A 25 to 30 year lease on a utility-scale site is a generational decision. We treat it that way. You will have input on siting choices, road layout, and construction staging. You will have a direct line to a Saga partner for the full life of the project. And at end of life, a funded decommissioning plan will put the land back the way your family wants it.
Why landowners partner with Saga
- Stable, long-term income. Lease payments reliably escalate over 25 to 30 years, providing predictable revenue through market cycles that can be unkind to a working farm or ranch.
- A legacy endowment. Lease payments often carry from one generation to the next. Your grandchildren can inherit income from a site you chose to develop, with no equipment management responsibility on their side.
- Your operation continues where it can. Grazing, dryland cropping, pollinator planting, and conservation plantings are often compatible with solar sites depending on topology. Wind projects are nearly fully compatible with existing uses.
- Real tax and community benefit locally. Projects bring meaningful property and production tax revenue to your county, improve rural infrastructure, and in many cases support local hiring during construction.
- Funded decommissioning. Bonds sized to your county's actual requirements, so a paid path back to preserved land is there when the project reaches end of life.
- A partner on the phone. You talk to a Saga founder or the partner directly responsible for your project. Not a call center, not a pass-through.
Grants and incentives for agricultural landowners
For qualifying agricultural projects, we help stack the federal and state programs that apply: the USDA Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), Colorado's ACRE3 Grant, and the federal Investment Tax Credit with appropriate adders. Where your land and operation qualify, we do the paperwork so the benefits actually land with you.
