    Peter gets £13.158 for each kWh of electricity he produces.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Peter buys a small wind turbine

    Total electricity produced by wind turbine in first year = 13,000 kWh

    Total electricity used by Peter = 7570 kWh

    Electricity sold to energy suppliers = ?

    Total amount of money he gets after selling x electricity to energy suppliers = £412.68

    We can se that:

    Total electricity produced = Electricity used by Peter + Electricity sold by Peter

    Electricity sold by Peter = Total Electricity produced - Electricity used by Peter

    Electricity sold by Peter = 13,000 kWh - 7570 kWh = 5430 kWh

    Total amount earned = £412.68

    So

    Price per kWh = Electricity sold by Peter/Total Amount earned

    Price per kWh = 5430/412.68

    Price per kWh = £13.158
