# Development We're continuing to grow our pipeline of battery storage projects across Europe. If you're a landowner, developer or member of a local community interested in developing battery storage, read on to find out more about how we can work together. Field has an extensive development pipeline of renewable battery storage projects located across both brownfield and greenfield locations. We're responsible for all stages of project development, from initiation and landowner engagement through to concept design, planning, and construction - with an experienced team bringing strong project management and project delivery expertise across the renewable energy project lifecycle. ## Why Work With Us ### We’re fully integrated Field develops, owns and operates battery storage projects across the UK and Europe. We don’t typically ‘flip’ projects like some developers. This means you work with us from initial hello through to the operation of the project through its life. ### Space requirements Batteries only occupy a small land area compared with other renewable technologies - we work hard to ensure we have the most optimised layout for you. This means we can fit more batteries into equivalent space required by other developers in the market. This means less wasted space, and more energy dense sites. ### Diversification Batteries are the perfect bolt on to your current activities and earnings. Batteries can provide an excellent way of diversifying your land by adding an index-linked income stream that is not linked to agriculture and requires little to no management. This provides an element of security to ensure the long-term sustainable operation of the wider farm or landholdings. ### All costs covered Field cover all development and construction costs, and reasonable third-party costs (e.g. legal and agent fees). All we ask from you is that you meet with us regularly during development. We’ll construct and operate the project and return it to its original state (or better) at the end of the project. ### Up-front payments Upon agreeing an Option for Lease (or Purchase), Field will pay an exclusivity and typically an Option fee. ### Annual rental or one-off purchase: We offer competitive rental terms which provide a long-term, inflation-linked income with regular payments to benefit your cash flow, negotiable to suit your business needs. Or, if you prefer, we can buy the freehold. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is my land suitable? ### How much can I earn? ### Why is Field different from other developers? ### How long will I be required to lease my land for and can I sell my land? ### As a landowner, what risks do I face? ### Are the batteries safe and what safety measures will you put in place? ### What happens at the end of the lease? ### Is planning required and will I be responsible for this? ### Is permission required to connect to the electricity grid network? ## Accelerating renewable infrastructure Field is a leading developer, owner and operator of grid-scale battery projects across the UK and Europe. We’re rapidly expanding and have already launched offices in Italy and Germany. ## Long or short-term partnerships We’re looking to work with developers on projects at any stage of development - from development projects with a secure grid connection to projects at ready-to-build stage. We’re also happy to work with developers on a single project or on a portfolio on a joint development basis. ## A dedicated in-house team of specialists Field has a highly experienced in-house technical team of specialists who can assist with grid, land legals and planning permission consenting. Our in-house analysis team also allows us to accurately value projects quickly. We have a proven track record of working at speed to secure transactions and final project delivery. ## Sustainability at heart Our aim is to develop battery energy storage projects that deliver significant sustainability benefits in addition to reducing climate change emissions and facilitating the growth of renewable energy. Through biodiversity improvements our projects seek to enhance the local environment. ## Long-lasting economic benefits We also aim to provide long-lasting economic benefits for local communities by meeting the growing need for energy by storing clean energy for use when it is needed. ## Responsible development Field is a responsible developer and we take a great deal of care in the creation of our projects; from protecting and enhancing biodiversity to ensuring our sites comply with best practice design and safety standards. However, we understand that local communities may have questions, so we welcome you to get in touch. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Will any trees or hedgerows be removed? #### What about the wildlife which use the area? #### Will there be fencing around the site? #### How much noise will there be? #### Will there be traffic disruption to local residents? #### Will the development cause flooding? #### Will the development impact on drainage? #### Are the batteries safe and what safety measures will you put in place? ## You’ll have a fantastic team working hard on your project The Field development team have delivered some of the UK’s leading renewable energy projects across a range of technologies including anaerobic digestion, biomass, wind, solar, energy from waste and gas peaking plants. We have a team of expert grid specialists to ensure we get the right connection in the right place. Your project couldn’t be in better hands.
