Leases
Land Leases. In connection with our Abercrombie Solar project, which is currently under construction in southeastern North Dakota, we have entered into multiple land lease agreements for the property on which the facility will be constructed. The leases commenced on May 1, 2026, and have an initial term of 35 years, with options to extend the lease term for up to an additional 10 years. Total contractual lease payments over the initial 35-year term are $53.9 million. Upon commencement of the leases, we recognized operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $20.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
