AdriaFlex partners with landowners through transparent and fair agreements. With international experience in solar, wind, and BESS projects, we understand landowners’ needs and tailor lease and purchase agreements to ensure stability, trust, and positive impact for both landowners, their communities, and the clean energy transition.

/ How We Work

A Clear 3-Step Process

We follow a structured process which provides clarity, fairness, and security for landowners while enabling AdriaFlex to deliver projects that benefit both landowners and their communities.

01 / Introduction & Alignment

Three people in a meeting room with a white brick wall and window. An older man with gray hair and glasses pointing at a laptop, a woman with long blonde hair in a green turtleneck looking at the laptop, and a woman with reddish hair watching.

We begin by introducing AdriaFlex and explaining the importance of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in today’s energy transition — what they do, how they look, how much land is required, and how agreements are structured. At the same time, we discuss landowners’ expectations.

02 / Letter of Intent (Lol)

Two people shaking hands in a business meeting.

Once there is mutual understanding, we move forward with a Letter of Intent (LoI). This document sets out the key commercial terms and is the foundation to start drafting and negotiations of the long form document.

03 / Long-form Agreement

Two people exchanging a signed document on a wooden table; one person is in a grey suit and the other in a beige sweater, with a laptop nearby.

The final step is signing a purchase or lease agreement, allowing development to begin. The landowner continues to use the land, while AdriaFlex accesses it only when needed. Once development is complete and construction starts, either the long-term lease takes effect or the land is purchased

FAQs

  • A typical BESS project requires between 0.5 and 3 hectares of land, depending on the project size (measured in MW) and the shape of the available land parcels. For example, a 20 MW system usually fits comfortably on around 1 hectare.

  • Earnings depend on the size of the project and the location, but landowners typically receive annual lease payments during the development phase and significantly higher lease payments or a purchase price once the project enters construction. Please get in contact to receive a site specific proposal.

  • Phase 1 is the development phase, which involves grid connection studies, environmental and technical assessments, and obtaining all permits and approvals. The timing depends on authorities and grid operators, so it can take anywhere between 1.5 and 4 years. Splitting the lease ensures fairness: you receive payments during this stage, while the developer takes on the risk of permitting and has the security of landacess for development and construction phases.

  • Your risks are minimal. The land stays in your ownership until construction begins. If the project does not proceed, you still keep all payments received during the development phase. The developer covers the costs of studies, permits, and approvals.

  • A BESS project looks like a small, fenced facility with rows of containerized battery units, transformers, and other electrical equipment similar to a transformer station. It usually has a compact footprint, low height (comparable to shipping containers), and minimal visual impact compared to wind or solar farms.

  • Once all permits are obtained, construction is relatively quick – usually 9 to 12 months, depending on the project size and lead times of major equipment.

  • Yes. During the development phase, you can continue using the land (e.g., for agriculture) since the developer only needs occasional access for surveys and studies. Once construction starts, the leased area is dedicated to the project and not accessable to the landowner, but this is covered by the long-term lease or purchase agreement.
