Is it possible!

Is it possible purchase / export electricity from myself on our other farm to save selling at 6p and buying at 15p, basically to setup a supply company with only one customer

In a word no

It would need to be grid connected not your supply in the simplest way of explaining.

You have an agreed supplier importing and you cannot setup a network supply piggybacking your supply. It’s complicated.

I was once in the process of setting up a green energy supply using the MW of solar I had installed but licensing is complicated. I gave up as you need an unbelievable amount to participate.

Basically Pablo is correct, except if the your two sites are close you can join them by cable and feed through one meter.

I do this with our tenanted poultry unit next door and my adjacent grainstore, all within 50m of the panels though...

We already have our two neighbouring units linked by private network, just looking for a way of supplying out- lying unit without selling electricity then buying it back.

A few months ago I did this course, "IF" this becomes do-able it will be a massive game changer for your type of situation. However, the cost of power generation is one thing and the cost of National Grid's infrastructure of it's distribution is almost as much. https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/blockchain-energy-sector
ch, the National Grid has to invest in and maintain it's network.
