Personal electric company? Info?

My wife and I are getting ready to build our final home on some land she owns way back in the country. We're not going to go Kazinski, or anything like that, but I was curious about electric service, since we're going to be so far back. I've got to have my stereo running off of SOMETHING!

I remember seeing something years ago that if you built your own electric power company for your own home, then any local power companies would have to buy back (from you) any excess power you generated. I don't remember if it was solar, or wind, or water-based power, or what.

This may be an option for us (since we have dozens of creeks running through the land), but I don't know where to find any more info about this.

Who amongst you knows of such a thing?
