Frequently Asked Questions
All the answers you’re looking for, in one place
Yes. Steel towers are fully recyclable, and nacelle components can be reused. Rotor blades are more complex, but technologies like grinding, pyrolysis, and chemical processing make recycling possible. Some turbine parts are even repurposed for local infrastructure, such as shelters, bike racks, and interior design elements
Under the lease agreement, Energix Polska is obligated to remove the wind farm from the property at its own expense and to level the land to restore its full usability. We are responsible for removing any structures, installations, and foundations down to a depth of one meter below the ground surface. We remain open to the possibility of longer-term cooperation and continued support for sustainable development.
Operating since 2016, Energix Polska develops both wind and solar farms and is known for innovation and quality in renewable energy. We provide clear, secure lease agreements and act as a reliable long-term partner focused on shared benefits.
Energix Polska actively supports local communities. We invest in roads, power networks, social initiatives, and cultural events, while improving access to farmers’ fields — all in close cooperation with local authorities and residents.
Wind farms do not interfere with farming or animal husbandry. Long-standing Energix Polska projects show no negative effects on local agriculture.
At 500 meters from a turbine, noise levels are below 40 dB — comparable to a dishwasher (48–50 dB) or refrigerator (45 dB). Modern turbines, like those used by Energix Polska, rotate slowly (max 20 RPM) and produce minimal flicker. The environmental benefits of wind energy far outweigh these minor impacts.
No. Wind turbines do not affect land use or crops. In fact, a lease can increase the land’s value by providing stable passive income and improving access road infrastructure.
The integration of development, engineering, and execution capabilities under one roof.
We support projects end to end- from planning and permitting through construction and operation- with full control over quality, timelines, contractors, and on-site interfaces.
We identify risks at the earliest planning stages- including soil conditions, drainage, existing infrastructure, regulation, grid connection, and supply chain.
Early risk management reduces on-site surprises, ensures schedule control, and protects the project budget.
We plan every project from day one with real-world execution in mind- site conditions, logistics, grid connection availability, accessibility, earthworks, and infrastructure.
The combination of strong planning expertise and hands-on construction experience allows us to take projects from concept to full commercial operation- safely, efficiently, and predictably.
There are two main ways to begin:
Option One – Direct Approach to Energix Israel
- Contact Energix Israel – The community secretariat forwards the inquiry to the Head of Business Development and Project Initiation.
- Conduct an initial feasibility assessment of the designated land.
- If feasibility is confirmed – Schedule a structured meeting with the planning team to refine land boundaries and present planning challenges.
- Site visit and on-the-ground familiarization.
- Issuance of a commercial principle’s memorandum.
Once agreed, the statutory planning process begins, alongside the preparation of a detailed agreement aligned with the agreed commercial principles.
Option Two – Engagement Through Field Visits or Existing Connections
- Proactive site visits conducted by Energix.
- Meetings at community secretariats.
- Meetings with private landowners.
- Collaboration with land brokers.
From the stage of identifying potential land, the process is identical:
Feasibility assessment, planning refinement, site visit, memorandum of principles, statutory planning, and agreement.
Certainty and proven experience – Deep understanding of regulation, planning processes, and potential barriers. The company has approximately 50 projects in commercial operation. It has strong financial resilience and specializes in the planning, construction, and operation of complex projects at both high and extra-high voltage levels. The company is publicly traded and part of a group with operations in the U.S. and Europe.
Proven ability to execute projects – Extensive experience working with the Israel Land Authority, the Electricity Authority, planning institutions, the Israel Electric Corporation, and government ministries (particularly the Ministry of Agriculture in agrivoltaics projects).
Maximizing the economic value of the land – Proper planning and a fair, accurate long-term commercial model.
Peace of mind for the community – Full support from the initial assessment stage through operation, with a single accountable and committed partner.
No prior professional expertise is required – Engineering, regulatory, or operational.
No operation or maintenance responsibilities for the community – Full responsibility lies with the developing company.
Community involvement focuses on key decisions – Approving the engagement, accompanying the process, and general oversight to ensure compliance with agreed terms.
Stable, long-term income – Fixed annual payments, CPI-linked, for a period of 20–25 years, including generous grants. In the case of agrivoltaics projects, we also participate in covering agricultural expenses.
Efficient land use – Transforming land that is not agriculturally productive into a valuable economic asset.
Strengthening the community’s financial stability – A reliable source of income that enables investment in the community, infrastructure, and members’ well-being.
Environmental and national contribution – Clean electricity generation, strengthening Israel’s energy sector, and improving the community’s standing with authorities and government bodies.
Ground-mounted solar facilities – At various scales, depending on land status and planning conditions.
Agrivoltaics projects – Combining electricity generation with agricultural activity while preserving the land’s agricultural designation.
Wind farms – In areas with suitable wind regimes, with minimal land use.
Energy storage facilities at high or extra-high voltage – Sometimes developed as standalone projects and sometimes integrated with solar installations to improve economic viability.
Definitely! The change in the land use provides the locality with a new higher tax revenue source (solar projects are sited on land that generates relatively little tax revenue). Moreover, utility-scale solar projects create local construction jobs and increase demand for local businesses such as hotels and restaurants. Solar projects also create a number of long-term jobs for vegetation management, operations, and maintenance of the facility.
We will provide you with notice, so you have time to harvest crops before construction begins.
Yes! Not only will we remove the equipment, but unlike many other types of development, once decommissioned, the project area will be substantially restored to its pre-lease condition and ready for whatever new land use you choose. We understand how important the land is to many of our landowners, which is why we ensure that there will be no limits to what you can do with the land after the solar project is removed.
While this scenario is very unlikely, we want to assure you that you’re covered. As part of our project development, we will issue a bond to you or the local government that can be called upon to cover decommissioning costs in the unlikely scenario that we cannot pay. This ensures that the system will be managed and maintained, regardless of our business status.
In order to finalize our project design, we have to do wetland delineation and other environmental and design studies. We also need to coordinate with the county, the department of environmental quality, and the utility company, which happens at a later stage and can affect the project’s final size.
No. To better protect the ground, solar panels are mounted on racking on metal posts. The panels do not leach any chemicals or discharge any fluids. In addition, we generally stabilize the ground throughout the project with native grass and pollinator mixes that are beneficial to the soil and surrounding environment.
None. There are no chemicals leached or liquids discharged. In addition, we will work with the department of environmental quality and the local governing body on our erosion and sediment control and stormwater permits to ensure best management practices during construction.
Not only do our projects not increase runoff, they are designed to actually improve soil and water quality. Stormwater management plans are required as part of the solar development process. These plans are prepared by professional engineers to ensure that projects do not contribute to erosion or flooding.
In most locations, vegetative buffers will restrict views of the solar arrays from outside the project boundaries.
The only major components of the solar project that are not silent are inverters, but the noise they emit is comparable to a commercial HVAC unit. There is generally no noise heard beyond 100ft from an inverter and we design our projects so that the inverters will be a sufficient distance from any residential property or dwelling. Also, the inverters are mostly inactive at night.
We hear you. We will use existing vegetation around the perimeter, where possible, for visual buffering. Where there is no vegetation, we will plan buffers to minimize visibility from public roads or residential properties.
