£80,000 a year
I will make £80K a year from wind turbine, says landowner - Telegraph
Land owners have contracts with these wind companies and they lease them the land for a average of 20yrs,and they as land owners receive rent from the wind farm owners ( separate from their dividend).
They rake it in and couldn't give a flying if the wind turbines produce nothing as they get a fixed income for them 20yrs.
These payments come directly from Gov subsidies so the land owners are guaranteed their payments for the contracted term. They don't even care if the energy companies go bankcrpt as we (the taxpayer) are paying them.
