That’s not really addressing the actual issue. What’s the congestion profile and node access difference between the two properties?

ETA what most likely happened is your neighbor was between you and the point of interconnection and either wouldn’t grant an easement or they didn’t want or need to ask for it because his property was more commercially favorable.

So they are buying sugarcane land to reduce grain production.


I have a little experience with leasing land for cell towers in these type areas. The disposition of the landlord or seller played into what parcel we would pursue as well. Whether we felt a deal would get done.

Sometimes it was the client just liked the name of the site better than another.

One wanted the farmers land because they felt no one would move next to the site and it would remain farmland.

It all has to do with access to transmission lines and capacity. Nothing nefarious just big open tracts close to high capacity lines.

Would the word adjacent help?

Identical frontage amounts. Mine with a large point of access because I doubled the amount of culvert required by the parish.

Congestion profile...on a rural two lane hwy and each parcel having a single entrance point with no curve in either direction for over 2500ft

The only natural geographical difference being a water source at the rear of his property.

Like I said. Land could have been cheaper, owner easier to work with, concerns about permitting, expansion ability in the future, or just flip of the coin.

Hell, owner selling could have sold the buyer on helping them get permitted or something like that.

fricking hell. It’s all about the interconnection point and economics dude. Idk why this is so hard to understand. No one conspired to frick you, they just chose a different property because it was more economically viable.

Any btw your highway access means nothing for node access or grid node congestions.

Can’t let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy.

I remember passing on a site because due diligence was going to be a bitch. The current owner only had the land a couple years and bought it out of some family drama. Had Moon Landrieu as the rep for the seller.

The other owner had owned the land since Napoleon had given it away.

Yeah, saved a couple months of frickery.

And a boat load of legal fees probably.

There’s always a million reasons to pass on a property. We had a big wind development pass on us post diligence and even test unit deployment because the DOD told the FAA to shut it down.

At one point my family owned all of the property. It was divided roughly 12x initially. And then each parcel was divided as more people died.

Two parcels stayed undivided. I own one. A relative owns another. Right of first refusal says we all have to sign off on sales. Our pricing was identical. Transmission lines are also within two miles.

I believe I stated "agree to disagree".

None of this means anything with regards to power plant development much less interconnection.
