Under the right conditions, for example when the utility pays a sufficient price for wind-generated electricity, you may be able to farm the wind for profit. You can do so by selling surplus generation from a wind turbine connected to your farm, home, or business. Or, you could install a group of wind turbines intended solely for generating electricity for sale to the utility.

A commercial wind farm, or wind power plant, is nothing more than a large-scale version of a wind turbine interconnected with an electric utility on the customer's side of the kilowatt-hour meter. But rather than meeting the domestic demand of a home or business, all the electricity generated by these wind power plants is delivered to the utility.
