I'm planning on setting up a home made wind turbine and some of my friends said that you can deal in it to the electric company and they have to buy it. Is this true if so how do you set it up/do it?
Answers:    Under PURPA this is true if you are a "Qualifying Facility" the power company must buy your power at an "avoided rate." An "avoided rate" is the rate at which a power company purchases or produces power. This can be agency below the rate you pay. There is also "network metering" that pays you at the same rate you settle up. Then there are combinations of the two near the most common person net metering to 0 after avoided rate. To be a "Qualified Facility" you must have the equipment to stop putting power into the grid if it is "out", to synchronize at 60Hz, and to synchronize at the proper phase angles relative to existing phase angles. If you can do this contact your local electric supplier and get hold of a meter that measures both ways and overcome any other restrictions they may apply.
the use and supply of electrical power from your turbine should be covered by the manufacturers and installers of the turbine. Plus you can procure lots of help and free counsel if you contact you power supplier.
I believe the meter which reads! the amount of power you hold consumed will run in reverse direction when you are supplying power ? (check on this) so a minus number reading would indicate you own supplied so many unit (watts ) of energy support to them. the rate they pay will alter from supplier to supplier. They do NOT have to buy the power but it would be churlish not to and environmentally dangerous to the image not to.
