Where can you buy insurance for connecting to the power grid with a wind generator in Texas?

March 10th, 2010

I have a friend who would like to install a wind generator for electricity, but the local power company will not let him connect to the power grid unless he can show that he has a million dollars insurance. Well, he cannot find any company that offers that type of insurance for any price. He has written to everyone he can think of but still no source of insurance. The reason he wants to connect to the power grid is to use it as his storage system so that he doesn’t have to maintain a whole bank of storage batterys. Does anyone know where he can get this type of insurance for a system that will be in the state of Texas?

Can I build a wood fired domestic electricity generator power station in the garden?

March 2nd, 2010

I have unlimited supply of wood. The excess heat to be used to heat the house and swimming pool. Excess electicity to be sold to the grid.
Would the capital cost be prohibitive? The running costs are not a problem. Is there a commercial turbine on the market.
My capacity to burn is determined by the cost of one man and a J C B to load a commercial incinerator.
I would exect a large input of D I Y in this project.

I know that planning permission may be required
