Farmers and landowners looking to develop renewable energy projects are being encouraged to benefit from a tenfold increase in the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA).

As of January 1, businesses can get 100 per cent tax relief on investments up to £250,000.

Mark Newton, head of renewable energy at estate agent Fisher German, in Market Harborough, said the temporary two-year measure made it an ideal time to invest in renewable energy projects.

He said: "Using the example of a 50kW endurance turbine which costs in the region of £250,000, the person investing in the project could offset the total cost against their income tax in year one.

"The change would also mean greater returns can be generated from the wind turbine."
