Hydroelectric Energy?

Question

My company is considering investing in a hydroelectric plant. We are very new to this industry and would like to talk with someone that could help us. We'd like to know the details of who we could sell our electricity to (if it is the national grid how does the bidding process work) and what would the rates be like. We'd like to understand how much revenue we could expect from a certain amount of capacity that our potential plant would be able to produce. Any ideas, experts, or owners of plants that could help?

Answer 1

It is possible to sell back into the grid.  As far as rates etc.  I can not tell you. That would depend on where you build your plant.

This would be region specific.
