Selling Electricity from a Small Wind Turbine

Selling Your Electricity

New: The Government announced in July 2009 the details of the proposed feed-in tariff for Microgeneration systems from April 2010. The consultation for this ended on the 15th October 2009 and the Government has now announced the final proposals: http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/consultations/elec_financial/elec_financial.aspx

In summary the feed-in tariff (FIT) is expected to provide all qualifying generators of renewable energy with a higher rate of income from all their generated power than they currently receive, making renewable energy systems significantly more economic. The rate of income will be determined by the size of the system and the current proposals are as detailed below;

System Type	Size	Rate/kWh	Segen Systems
Wind	0-15kW	26.7p	3 X Evance R9000 or 1 X Gaia 133
Wind	15kW - 100kW	24.1p	2 - 9 X Gaia 133 or 1 X WES 18
Wind	100kW - 500kW	18.8p	2 - 6 X WES 18 or 1 - 2 X WES 30
Wind	500kW - 1,500kW	9.4p	2 - 6 X WES 30
Wind	1,500kW - 5,000kW	4p
Solar PV	0-4kWp (new build)	36.1p	NU180-16 or NU180-22
Solar PV	0-4kWp	41.3p	NU180-16 or NU180-22
Solar PV	4kWp - 10kWp	36.1p	NU180-40 or NU180-55
Solar PV	10kWp - 100kWp	31.4p
Solar PV	100kWp - 5,000kWp	29.3p

Note: Eligible systems installed after July 2009 are expected to qualify for the feed-in tariff from April 2010.
