Sculpted to your circumstances
Choose the proportion of rent you bring forward and the term you bring it forward over. Keep income where it matters and retain income later in the lease if that suits your plan.

Challenge
Renewable energy leases can represent a large portion of a landowner’s long-term wealth, but the cashflow arrives slowly. Farm life does not. That mismatch can limit options when timing matters, growth opportunities appear, or life stage changes.
Solution
RELA Prepay gives you an upfront payment option under your existing renewable energy lease. The key difference is flexibility. You can sculpt what rent you bring forward and what rent you retain over the course of the lease, to suit your circumstances.
You are shaping your income, not selling your land. The lease remains in place and your relationship with the renewable energy tenant is not affected.
Benefits
Access capital without changing the lease
Prepay gives you access to capital to support priorities such as farm improvements, business growth, succession planning or land acquisition, without turning the arrangement into a loan.
Keep your land and stay part of the lease
You continue to own your land and benefit from its capital growth and agricultural use. Prepay is structured so you remain part of the lease through the full term.
Outcome
RELA Prepay gives landowners more control over how lease value shows up in real life. An upfront payment can help fund what matters now, while the flexibility to retain rent over time supports long-term planning.
Challenge
Some landowners hesitate to enter, or fully commit to, renewable energy leases because the benefits are spread over decades, while their business and family decisions are not.
Solution
RELA Prepay gives landowners an upfront payment option under their existing lease, funded by RELA. The strategic value is not just capitalisation. It is flexibility. Landowners can sculpt what rent they bring forward and what rent they retain over the course of the lease, to respond to their circumstances, while remaining economically tied to the lease.
This is not a buyout. It is strategic optimisation that helps strengthen long-term host alignment.
Benefits
A new payment option, without changing what the developer pays
Prepay creates an upfront payment option for landowners without changing the developer payment profile.
Neutral to the project and lease framework
The existing lease remains in place. Developer payments and the lease rental profile do not change. The only change is the apportionment of rent between the landowner and RELA.
Stronger long-term host alignment
A better capitalised host business is more likely to remain a willing partner through construction, operations, maintenance and inevitable change over decades.
Outcome
RELA Prepay helps developers present a practical, landowner-aligned payment option without cost imposition to the developer or disruption to the lease payment profile. It supports alignment, reduces friction and strengthens long-term host relationships. It lets you sculpt what you bring forward and what you keep, so the lease can support different stages, growth, debt reduction, succession planning and retirement, without forcing an all or nothing decision.
