Export Excess Electricity
The first task of the wind turbine is offset the power that you require for your own needs when the wind is blowing. The generator will at times produce more power than you can use-this power is fed back in to the grid. New legislation now ensures that you get paid by the ESB (first 4000 microgenerator registered/including free import export meter) for any power you feed back into the grid. The first 3000kW you will receive 19cent per kW and for everything above 3000kW you will receive 9cent per kW.

Below are two example of how much a typical house can benefit from an MSET6 wind turbine.

1)Based on Very good wind site 7m/s ave.annual wind speed.

4500kW @ 18.6cent used from your turbine Saves - 837euro

3000kW @ 19cent paid from ESB for your export - 570euro

12500kW@ 9cent paid by the ESB for your export - 1125euro

Total annual gain 7m/s site = 2532.00euro



2)Based on good wind site 6m/s ave.annual wind speed.

4500kW @ 18.6cent used from your turbine Saves - 837euro

3000kW @ 19cent paid from ESB for your export - 570euro

8500kW@ 9cent paid by the ESB for your export - 765euro

Total annual gain 6m/s site = 2172.00euro

(As the cost of electricity rises year on year the gains will increase also
