>> So yes, you can buy for around 10p/KWh and sell to them at around 4 x this amount.
The are going to pay the 40p for generating it. You're not selling anything back. You get this money and you get to use the electric too!
As you say it's so they meet some target or other. Like the energy companies about to fail to reach some target so shipped millions of energy saving bulbs recently to offset against their failings. It was cheaper to post out the bulbs than to fail some target or other. There was apparently a deadline after which they could not use this tactic.
