Surprisingly, no. Large power companies who have over 150,000 customers have to offer at least 1 export only Smart Export Guarantee tariff. This means that you can sell your excess wind energy to any company, not just your usual power company.

In order to find the best tariff and deal, it’s well worth shopping around.

If you’re planning to sell extra wind energy to a power company, you need to ensure your electrical needs are met first.

For example, if you need 3kW of energy and you produce 6kW of energy you have 3kW spare to sell.

Domestic turbines can produce between 1kW and 15kW so depending on the size of your home, this should be sufficient.

Although the feed in tariff scheme is no longer accepting new applicants, you can still get paid for producing extra energy. If you have a large amount of land, wind turbine companies may offer you regular payments to install a turbine on your property.

You can make a good income this way, although many homeowners would rather not have a commercial wind turbine near their home. As a rough guide, you could earn around £40,000 a year to have a 3MW wind turbine installed on your property.
