I've just had to do a rough estimate for a CR Licensee of electricity costs for his remote transmission site on a Local Authority.For a nominal 50W aggregate FM transmitter, processor, RDS encoder and link receiver we estimated a consumption of  100W at 240V single phase - 876kWh per annum - which at 15p/kWh gives £131,40 nett of VAT as a real cost per annum.In contrast - another Client has been told he is welcomed to locate his transmitter on roof of the the local Hospital - no fee - and no charge for power consumed.
So - if you ask the right people - it can be done!
