# §2806.50. Rents and fees for solar energy rights-of-way.


If you hold a right-of-way for solar or wind energy development, you must pay an annual rent and fee in accordance with this section and [subpart. The](/cfr/43/subpartThe.md) annual rent and fee is the greater of the acreage rent or the capacity fee that would be due in a given year. The acreage rent will be calculated consistent with [§ 2806.11](/cfr/43/2806.11.md) and prorated consistent with [§ 2806.12(a)](/cfr/43/2806.12.md?p=a). The capacity fee will vary depending on the project's gross proceeds from the sale of electricity produced by the renewable energy project and will be calculated consistent with [§ 2806.52(b)](/cfr/43/2806.52.md?p=b).
