Madison Street Energy recently facilitated a wind lease buyout involving a landowning family at the Neosho Ridge Wind Farm and a large institutional investment firm.
The landowner hosts more than a dozen operating wind turbines on the property and had 27 years remaining on a 30-year wind lease with potential extensions of up to 20 years more. Madison Street Energy partnered with both parties to structure a deal that met the landowner’s financial goals while aligning with the investor’s long-term portfolio strategy.
The buyout closed at an approximate value of $1.5 million, allowing the landowner to convert decades of future lease payments into immediate capital. For the investment firm, the acquisition provides stable, long-term wind revenue tied to an established project.
“This transaction is a good example of how wind lease buyouts can create value on both sides,” said Madison Street Energy. “Landowners gain flexibility and certainty, while investors acquire predictable income from proven wind assets.”
Madison Street Energy specializes in wind lease buyouts and advisory services for landowners, investors, and developers across the United States. The firm continues to work closely with landowners at operating wind projects to evaluate opportunities for liquidity, estate planning, and long-term financial planning.
