Across North America, solar, wind, and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects are reshaping the energy landscape. For landowners, leasing land to renewable developers brings exciting opportunities—long-term financial returns and the satisfaction of supporting a cleaner future.
But renewable projects take time. Years can pass between signing a lease and seeing the first payments. Madison Street Energy (MSE) recognized this challenge and created a groundbreaking solution: Energy Transition Royalties (ETR)—a flexible, forward-looking funding model that helps landowners access value from their renewable energy leases sooner.
Reimagining Royalties for the Clean Energy Era
Traditionally, royalties have been associated with the oil and gas industry, allowing investors and landowners to receive income based on production. MSE has reimagined that concept for renewables. Through Energy Transition Royalties, MSE provides capital to renewable project developers or offers early redemption opportunities to landowners holding project leases. Instead of waiting for a project to reach full operation, landowners can realize the present value of their lease today – without interrupting the project developers’ financial structure.
In short, MSE turns future clean energy potential into immediate financial opportunity.
MSE’s Tailored and Flexible Approach
MSE’s model is built on one key principle: flexibility that benefits everyone involved. The company provides capital at various stages of a renewable project—development, construction, or operation. This allows developers to advance their projects without delay and gives landowners new financial options. Importantly, MSE structures its funding to avoid interfering with existing or future lenders and purchasers. Landowners and developers can access liquidity without complicating ownership or financing arrangements. The result is a partnership that accelerates clean energy growth while preserving financial stability for all parties.
Why It Matters for Landowners
Leasing land to a renewable energy project often means waiting years before the benefits materialize. MSE’s Energy Transition Royalties change that dynamic.
By partnering with MSE, landowners can:
- Access capital sooner: Unlock part of their lease value without waiting for project completion.
- Stay flexible: MSE’s structure fits alongside existing financing and ownership agreements.
- Avoid traditional lending barriers: No debt payments, no dilution—just tailored capital access.
- Plan with confidence: Whether reinvesting in their land, expanding operations, or meeting personal goals, landowners gain control over their financial timelines.
Example: A landowner leasing acreage for a solar project might not see payments until after construction is complete. Through MSE, they can receive early funds—providing liquidity now while the project continues moving forward.
This approach helps landowners participate more actively and profitably in the energy transition.
Accelerating the Clean Energy Transition
Beyond individual benefits, MSE’s model strengthens the renewable energy ecosystem. Clean energy development requires enormous investment, and traditional funding sources can be slow or inflexible. By introducing a royalty-based structure tailored for renewables, MSE helps move projects from concept to completion faster. More projects get built, more clean energy enters the grid, and more communities share in the rewards of sustainability. In this way, MSE’s Energy Transition Royalties don’t just serve landowners—they accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
