Leasing Your Land for Battery STORAGE IN MARYLAND

Turn Your Property Into a
Steady Income Stream

Energy storage systems are revolutionizing how we manage electricity and modernize the grid, and Maryland landowners have a unique opportunity to be part of this growing infrastructure while earning consistent annual lease payments.  

Your land could be the perfect fit for a battery storage facility that provides predictable and passive income to you and your family for years to come while serving your community’s energy needs.  

Benefits to
Landowners

Leasing your land for a battery energy storage system (BESS) offers compelling advantages. In addition to requiring only a quarter of an acre up to 2 acres of property, BESS projects offer you: 

Predictable Income for 25+ Years

Upon the start of battery project construction, receive predictable annual payments backed by a long-term contract.

No Maintenance on Your End

Once operational, the system runs automatically with professional maintenance handled by Chaberton and its partners, providing you with truly passive income.

Consideration for the Future of Your Land

When the project reaches the end of its life, our decommissioning process includes recycling of equipment components when available and restoration of your land. 

Strengthen Maryland’s Energy Future

Your participation in energy storage creates lasting benefits that extend far beyond your property lines. Maryland has set an ambitious goal to deploy a minimum of 3 gigawatts of energy storage by 2033, and your property could play a vital role in achieving this statewide objective. Battery storage systems are essential infrastructure that can help stabilize Maryland’s electrical grid by storing excess electricity when demand is low and releasing it during peak usage periods.  
 
This technology supports around-the-clock energy availability from renewable sources like wind and solar, providing your neighbors with reliable power even when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun isn’t shining. Energy storage also reduces costly power fluctuations that can damage electronics and cause brownouts. 
 
You know those times when your lights flicker? That’s the grid catching its breath, and battery energy storage systems can help reduce this type of stress on the grid. 
 
By hosting this infrastructure, you’re helping lower energy costs for Maryland residents and businesses while reducing grid emissions through more efficient electricity distribution. Your land becomes a cornerstone of energy independence, supporting locally generated, carbon-free technologies that serve your community for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions About Energy Storage

Energy storage systems consist of large battery units housed in weather-resistant containers arranged in rows across your property. These batteries connect to existing electrical lines and operate automatically—charging when electricity demand is low and releasing stored power when demand peaks. The entire system is monitored remotely and requires minimal on-site maintenance. 

Modern energy storage systems are designed with stringent regulations, certifications, and safety features, including fire suppression systems, thermal monitoring, and automatic shutdown capabilities. During project development and installation, Chaberton engages directly with local fire departments to develop training and safety plans. The battery technology we design with (lithium ion phosphate, or LFP) is the same proven technology found in electric vehicles and consumer electronics, scaled up for grid applications. 

Energy storage systems are an important component of a reliable, modern electrical grid. They stabilize power quality by smoothing out fluctuations, support 24/7 energy availability by storing excess renewable energy for later use, reduce power outages and brownouts, help lower electricity costs for consumers, and reduce overall grid emissions by enabling more efficient energy distribution. 

Energy storage projects are semi-permanent installations that provide landowners with a stable, long-term income stream. Our projects use screening methods such as natural landscape and/or opaque fencing to reduce impact to viewscapes. And at the end of the project’s lifecycle, we’ll restore your land at no cost to you.

Leasing to an energy storage developer offers unmatched benefits: generate substantial passive income for 25 years or more, require minimal land area (0.25 to 2 acres), involve zero day-to-day management on your end, contribute to community energy independence, and maintain flexibility for future land use decisions.
