RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Utility-Scale Solar Farms and Agricultural Land Values JF Land Economics JO Land Econ FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 102920-0165R DO 10.3368/le.99.3.102920-0165R A1 Nino Abashidze A1 Laura O. Taylor YR 2022 UL http://le.uwpress.org/content/early/2022/12/20/le.99.3.102920-0165R.abstract AB Property value models are used to examine how utility-scale, ground-mount solar farms impact nearby agricultural land values. Results indicate that solar farms do not have direct positive or negative spillover effects on nearby agricultural land values. However, results also suggest that solar farm construction may indirectly affect agricultural land values by signaling the land’s suitability for future solar development. Specifically, results indicate that proximity of agricultural land to electric transmission lines may be positively valued after a solar farm is constructed nearby.
