The One Big Beautiful Bill Act has changed the future of renewable energy projects. See how shortened tax credit deadlines and rising power prices impact lease negotiations, and why farmland owners may see growing demand for battery storage.

Join Peoples Company for the next session in our “Power of Energy Management: Unleashing Potential” webinar series. Host Kayla Rowan, Director of Energy Management, will be joined by attorney and Lease Gen founder Brad Haight to discuss the complexities of valuing farmland with solar and renewable energy projects.

As solar energy expands across rural America, landowners are increasingly receiving enticing offers to lease their land for solar development.

If you or your organization owns mineral rights—whether inherited, gifted, or acquired—there’s a chance you could be missing out on revenue that’s rightfully yours.

It doesn’t look like much, but this tiny nuclear fuel pebble contains as much energy as 4 tons of coal. That’s the kind of energy density nuclear power brings to the table.

Many people assume that owning land means controlling everything above and below the surface. However, mineral rights and surface rights are separate legal interests, and understanding their distinction is crucial for landowners, investors, and energy developers.
