As calculated, in March 2024, there were 1,400 wind installations in Poland. This is a lot, but is more popular. In the first quarter of this year, there were 4,870 photovoltaic installations above 50 kW in Poland. Land for lease is increasingly sought, also from private individuals.
How much do they pay for 1 hectare for photovoltaics and wind farms? The profit can be big
In 2024, the amounts that can be obtained for land lease range between PLN 15,000 and PLN 22,000 per year for each hectare. – The key factor is the distance from the power grid, which affects the valuation of a given investment and thus the offer that can be made to the land owner – emphasized Robert Bocian from Projekt Solartechnik in an interview with the farmer.pl portal. Annually it is as much as 100 to 150 thousand PLN. How much exactly can you earn? – This type of data is confidential and depends on individual arrangements between the investor and the lessor – said Anna Kosińska from Res Global Investment in an interview with Wyborcza.biz.
Is Leasing Worth It? Not Everyone Will Benefit. Check the Terms
Not every plot can be leased. In the case of photovoltaics, the area must be at least 1 ha and the width at least 50 m. Access to a public road and adequate sunlight are also necessary. In the case of a wind farm, the key factor is primarily the distance from residential buildings and protected areas.

This is at least 700 m from buildings. The distance from power lines, water reservoirs and roads, including national and county roads, is also important. Here, the area may be smaller, at least half a hectare, but usually does not exceed 1 ha. Importantly, the remaining area can still be used for agricultural purposes, but building a farm takes up to 5 to 7 years. Only after full launch will the owner of the land receive the full rent for the lease. If you’d like, please vote in our poll below.
