Electricity Export

Hi, we have 150kw export capacity for the grid we need to get used and have looked into wind and solar, are there anymore suggestions on any other ideas we could do? Thanks

You say you have 150Kw capacity, is that a recent DNO offer?. Normally they are time limited and also will be normally issued after you tell them the proposed generation type.
This size is not sufficient to be of interest to the rent a farm/ large estate firms
Sadly you have missed the large figures for export which were running about but that was for a max of 2 years anyway.
This means you are limited to looking at what you can use and if you have a large demand it is most likely worth looking at Solar. Prices have dropped considerably and an install of this size should come in around £100- 120,000 depending on a suitable roof probably 10% more for ground mount. Ground mount of course will need planning.
currently export prices are looking 7-8p /unit

if you have a cheap supply of good quality woodchip, you can do woodchip combined heat and power. But will need investment, good chip and a use for the heat (possibly drying chip).
Some second hand units floating about on the market. May well not be viable without the ROCs, so check your numbers carefully.

Do you have any running water ( stream etc) that could power a small hydro-scheme ?

Just been asked to put another set of second-hand woodchip CHP units up for sale. RHI for wood drying and could also be sold with ROC.
