Wind rights are rights relating to windmills, wind turbines and wind power. Historically in the Low Countries wind rights were manorial rights and obligations relating to the operation and profitability of windmills. In modern times, as wind becomes a more important source of power, rights relating to wind turbines and windmills are sometimes referred to as "wind rights".
