Once you have your Licence, and have a few customers and are buying power from the existing generators, you will want to generate your own power (it's always more expensive to buy than to make)
There is a good chance you can get a Government Grant for a Wind Power 'farm'.. the problem will be planning permission ... you will need to locate a suitable site now and start to make friends in the local community and local Council ...
Good Luck !

I assume you mean selling to the end user? As opposed to having some sort of Energy generation / extraction business?
In the UK it is a licenced business - I assume it is in the rest of the world. You need to acquire a license to sell the energy, and you need to get a contract to buy the energy at a cheaper price than selling it. You will need to get someone to read the meters. After that, its a paper exercise organising energy supply, set the prices and charge the customers.
I would contact the regulatory body (OFGEM in the UK) for more detailed advise.
Good luck!! Your going to need it because there is a reason that large organisations do this and not sole traders.
