With a dedicated team devoted to Renewable energy projects across Canada, Scott Land is the most knowledgeable and active land company in the renewables business. Our Renewable Energy team handles site scouting, land acquisition, stakeholder engagement, regulatory permitting and everything in between. We acquire everything from options to lease, options to purchase, meteorological (MET) tower agreements, final surface leases, access agreements, third-party consents, utility easements and more. Most importantly, we can guide through the regulatory process and provide you with the strategy required to be successful.

Scott Land continues to be a resource for solar, wind and other renewable energy companies in various parts of Canada. When starting your next project, take advantage of our specialized market knowledge and relationships with stakeholders throughout Alberta to see your project through to completion.

Stakeholder engagement is a critical component of all land-related projects. We can plan, carry-out and report on the required participant involvement programs, following various regulatory requirements throughout Canada. Scott Land has in-depth local knowledge of strategy, development and government regulations, as well as strong stakeholder relationships that we leverage to benefit your project and we are a member of the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2).
