Apex uses an innovative, community-based lease for our projects in the Midwest that spreads some of the financial benefits from the project more broadly among all participating landowners and residents. Under this model, anyone living in the project area is eligible to sign up and see direct monetary benefit from the project, whether you own a single acre and a home, 1,000 acres of farmland, or anything in between. Landowners and community members participating in the project will receive annual lease payments over the projected 30-plus-year lifespan of the wind farm, injecting millions of dollars into the local economy to support family budgets and local businesses.
