Is it possible to sell renewable energy to other sources other than the national grid?

Question

I am planning on setting up a wind farm in Africa and planning to export it to Europe in cannisters or cylinders. Will I be able to get a buyer even though I am not connected to any of the national grids?

Answer 1

You do realize that a wind farm doesnt harvest wind, it actually makes electricity. You cannot put electricity into cannisters or cylinders.

Answer 2

From what my granddad told me one day if you wanna make some money you could always hook up like a windmill or a solar pannal to your power supply and if you make more power then you need in the long run that the extra power would be sent to the power company you use and they can reuse it to other houses. And in the long run you don't have to pay the power bill for that month and if you create some power that the power company can use then they will pay you for the power they recieve. Now if you wanna make some big bucks ya might wanna try it here in the states. Doin' it over in Africa might not make as much money as fast as you would over here. Good luck.

Answer 3

Only way i can think of to sell power that is not on the grid is to convert it into something else. Say hydrogen.But most conversions will end up wasting a ton of power.


In reply to flash you can't sell power into the grid in the u.s without a license converter. The convert them self end up costing SO much that any power you sell back takes years to even pay off the converter.
