On the Horizon: Solar Development in Texas
Solar Leases & Mineral Rights Issues
October 11, 2016 Noon CT
Sponsored by:
Under Texas law, mineral estates and surface estates represent separate legal interests. Generally, mineral owners and lessees have the right to use the surface of the land without input, consent or permission from the surface owner or tenant, subject to the requirement to reasonably accommodate surface interests. It is critical for solar companies to understand the rights of mineral owners and lessees when developing projects in the state. In this installment of the “On the Horizon” webinar series panelists will discuss recommended lease provisions for solar leases including provisions regarding the steps solar project developers can take to anticipate mineral estate operations and lessen the potential impact of right of access.
