Can I Sell Electricity I Produce?
You can sell electricity only on a path the rules allow: a supplier, a contract, a community where the act allows it, or the organised market if you are admitted.

Why it matters
Production is not the same as a right to invoice anyone you choose. Selling is a market activity. It needs a buyer and a legal path.
How it works
A contract with a supplier, or a power purchase agreement with a buyer, is the usual path for a producer who is not standing on the exchange. The organised market, ALPEX, is for participants who are allowed to be there.
A self-producer’s surplus can also be handled under the connection and billing rules, which is not the same sentence as “I am a trader”. Read licensing and market access before you assume the exchange is open.
Prices, contract length, and who may buy are in the acts and in the contract. This page does not set them.
Key rules / parameters
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Need | A buyer and a path the law allows |
| Contract | Supplier arrangement or a PPA |
| Exchange | Only if you are admitted to that market |
| Not the same | Surplus on a self-producer bill, and a wholesale trade |
TradingDesk context
Bilateral contracts and ALPEX are the professional pages behind the word “sell”. Open them after this one, not instead of it.
