Electricity, which is vended by the kilowatt hour, can be sold to the local utility by the person who generates it. There are laws in place in most areas of the U.S. that force electric utilities to pay customers who "turn their electric meters backward" by generating their own power. The payment is almost universally "too low" compared to what the utility would have to pay to generate that same amount of power itself, but you can get something back if you work it correctly. If you have large generation capacity, you will have to insure the "supply lines" will be able to handle all you "put back onto" the power grid. Those with a little private dam and a generator will have to make arrangements (get a power allocation) from the utility to insure that the existing electrical drop will handle being connected to the generator. That way the conductors will get that power back onto the power grid safely. And all concerned will also want to know that the grid itself is capable of managing that extra power being dumped back onto it. When you supply electrical power to the circuit of your house, it will offset what is coming in. If you generate enough, it will actually go out onto the power grid and make your electric meter turn backwards. There are alternate power sources (like wind or solar) which will, when they are supplying sufficient power, make this a reality. *Note: It is critically important that any power generation you do to supply your house while your house is connected to the power grid (so you can put power back onto the grid) be done in an electrically correct and safe manner! Just firing up a generator and thinking you can connect it into the power grid can get you a blow up generator, blown circuits, damaged or destroyed appliances, an explosion, or an explosion and fire in your house. This is something you can't freelance. You have to have competent professional advice and assistance to do this properly and safely!

In many places they will, and you may get a fair price, as you are saving the company from building additional power plants.

A nett tariff means you use your generated electricity first, and any you don't use is sold to the grid.
