The introduction of a ‘feed-in’ tariff for every kilowatt hour of electricity that you generate you can now export this to the grid.

This, together with savings you make by using your own electricity too, means there has never been a better time to start generating your own electricity on your farm; or indeed in your individual homes, small businesses, and communities.
