Biography
Did you know that Texas leads the nation in renewable energy production and is 2nd in the nation in solar energy production? Based on the number of solar and wind leases being acquired by energy producers across the state, we expect this trend of Texas renewable energy dominance to continue. These leases are typically quite long and complex documents that are absolutely overwhelming for people that don’t constantly work in the industry. For landowners, it is important to understand the various implications in leases which can affect their land for generations. As such, there are a lot of questions, issues and concerns that arise when looking through a solar or wind lease, and Mazurek, Belden & Burke, P.C. is here to help landowners with them.
Renewable energy is becoming very popular with landowners, developers, and traditional energy producers across Texas. Being approached by a big renewable energy company can seem both exciting and daunting. Solar and wind land leases frequently involve large areas of land and can affect the rights of surface and mineral owners for more than 30 years, potentially impacting generations of landowners.
For over 15 years we have been helping navigate through the unknown and prepare our clients with everything they need before finalizing a lease. MBB’s extensive Energy, Real Estate, Business, and Regulatory practices give us the ability to fully understand the needs of our renewable energy clients.
Mazurek, Belden & Burke attorneys work with both landowners and renewable energy companies through all phases of a project. From negotiating, drafting, and reviewing wind and solar leases, to creating access and development agreements with mineral owners, we will be there to help make your wind or solar project a success.
