DEVON, UK

A small pad.
Next to generation you own.
Farming stays.

We sit a container beside on-farm AD or existing wind. You write no cheque. Solar is a later conversation if you want it.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Compute behind a farmer-owned meter

Plenty of working farms already generate power — an on-farm digester, or a turbine they still own. Leftover export is not a second crop. Large solar and large compute both fight the field.

AetherForge is a compute company that sits behind the meter you already have. Phase one is a small pad and access next to that plant. Not a field of glass.

HOW IT WORKS

A pad. Access. Then you decide.

We pay a short option, we do not touch the field, we do not ask you to write a cheque, and if it goes ahead you get rent on a small pad.

  • Generation you still own — on-farm AD, or existing wind of about 150 kW to 1.1 MW. Not a developer vehicle.
  • One small container on a pad next to that plant. It should look like a farm building.
  • A short paid option while we survey the yard. After that, you decide. Farming stays.

KEY ADVANTAGE
Behind a meter you already own. You fund no kit. Solar is later, if both sides want it.
WHY DEVON?

The right place for a first pad

Why here

  • • Working farms that already generate — digesters and existing wind, not a new grid job to start
  • • Landowners who still own the plant, not a developer vehicle
  • • Yards that can take a small building without taking a field
  • • A first pad that can be copied, if the yard can wear it

Who this is for

A Devon landowner who still owns on-farm AD, or existing wind in that band, and is willing to talk about a small area next to the plant. The first question is who owns the export meter.

If the plant is sold off, or the yard cannot wear a box, we walk.

FOR LANDOWNERS

What you can stand behind

The option

  • A short paid exclusivity on a small pad
  • £500 ceiling to start the conversation
  • We survey. You keep farming.
  • After the option, you decide

If it goes ahead

  • Rent-led — around £2,500 a year on the pad
  • Electric uplift is hundreds, not thousands
  • Call it £3,000 a year all in on a first pad
  • You write no cheque

What stays yours

  • The field. The flock. The plant.
  • The meter, if you own it
  • The right to say no after the survey
  • Solar only if you want that conversation later
WHAT THIS IS NOT

So the letter and the site say the same thing

Not a field-scale solar scheme
Not an offer per acre
Not a request that you fund kit
Not a live cluster, and not a promise to transform what the digester earns
THE FIRST PAD

Conversation, option, survey, decision

We start next to generation you still own. If the yard cannot wear it, we walk. Fence-like solar on a larger block can be a later conversation. It is not this week’s ask.

01
Talk

Who owns the export meter. What happens when the plant is off. A look at the yard.

02
Option

A short paid exclusivity on a small area next to the plant. £500 ceiling. Farming continues.

03
Survey

Power, access, noise, whether a box belongs there. If it does not, we say so.

04
You decide

Rent on the pad if both sides want it. No cheque from you for the kit.
