I recently came across O2, a swedish wind-coop. They offer a membership share for 6200 SEK (~650 euro) which entitles you to use 1000 kWh/year for the production cost of 0,13 SEK/kWh (~0,015 euro/kWh) which translates to 10% of retail price. If you use less the rest can be sold. If you leave you can sell back your share.
You cut out the middle man in the investment-chain and invest in what you are going to consume. That way you decrease uncertainty for both seller and consumer/investor.
Is this basically what you are proposing but on a national scale? (If so, I understood correctly.)
Oh, and a link to o2 Energi. A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
...and pretty close to what I have in mind, the only difference being the legal framework within which it takes place... "Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky
