SUMMARY:Community Solar 101: REFA + Pivot Energy Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Community solar and distributed generation projects are growing rapidly across the country\, offering landowners a different type of opportunity than utility-scale development. This webinar explains how community solar works\, who benefits\, and what landowners should know if they’re approached for a project. We’ll cover the policy landscape state by state\, typical project sizes and acreage requirements\, lease terms and timelines\, and how these smaller-scale projects can integrate with agricultural operations through agrivoltaics. Whether you’re in a state with established community solar programs or wondering what distributed generation could mean for your land\, this session provides the foundation you need to evaluate opportunities and ask the right questions. \nPresenters:\nAngie Burke\, Director of Land Stewardship – Pivot Energy\nTyler Lis\, Policy Manager – Western Region – Pivot Energy\nJeff Risley\, Executive Director – REFA \nClick Here to Register!\n(Or copy/paste in browser: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WS4ZtEE2R2ibq-2F66D2_g)

SUMMARY:Preparing for Renewable Energy Leases: What Every Landowner Should Know
DESCRIPTION:A comprehensive session preparing landowners for lease negotiations with an agricultural attorney’s perspective. Covers the critical provisions landowners should examine before signing any renewable energy lease\, including payment terms\, land use restrictions\, assignment clauses\, decommissioning requirements\, and the often-overlooked details that can make or break a 25-40 year agreement. Brianna brings expertise in what to look out for from a legal standpoint\, helping landowners understand their rights and protections. \nPresenters:\nBrianna Schroeder\, Agricultural Attorney (Indiana)\nLisa Dan\, Midwest Outreach Director – Center for Energy Education\nJeff Risley\, Executive Director – REFA \nClick Here to Register!\n(Or copy/paste in browser: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_U97X9VUPR-uMzh5Way3DlA#/registration)
