Many thanks to all that replied. The electricity company won't even give an estimate as the property is too far away from the town, but they estimate around 50,000€. They won't let us have a wind turbine as they say it's illegal to generate power in this way. Although they have said we can have solar panels.

Hi We are in the process of buying a house in France that doesn't have electricity or mains water. It is half a mile from the nearest village. It does have well water. We are thinking of having a wind turbine, solar power and a back up generator but so far efforts to find good information on the internet haven't been good. We can find the information but are confused as to what system would be suitable. Is anyone out there using alternative energy as opposed to being on the mains? Can anyone help please? Thank you
