Did You Know?

2024 is Gregg’s 43rd year in the land business.

Scott Land has been a leader in the power generation and transmission industries for over 30 years in Canada. We handle a range of projects including solar power, wind power, cogeneration facilities and transmission lines. Our Crown Land experts can secure the ideal location for your generating facility and all associated third-party agreements when located on Crown Land. Our power generation team handles freehold land acquisitions (including options to lease or purchase), easement acquisitions, stakeholder engagement, municipal permitting, provincial permitting and third-party agreement acquisitions to get your project construction ready.

In Alberta, our team is intimately familiar with the Market Participant Choice program offered by the AESO for proponents to construct their own interconnections. We can guide you through the AESO connection process, manage your stakeholder engagement and complete your permitting to ensure your generation project can connect to the grid. We have acquired Right-of-way agreements for transmission lines throughout the province ranging from 138kV short interconnections to 500kV system projects. Our agents are experts in carrying out the acquisition process from survey permissions through to final damage settlements.

Our team members keep their knowledge and skills up to date and our memberships include the International Right-of-Way Association (IRWA), International Association for Public Participant (IAP2), Canadian Association of Petroleum Land Administrators (CAPLA), and the Project Management Institute (PMI).
