It appears that you have no concept of how electrical transmission and
distribution systems work. There is no such 'filter' and no basis in
physics for making one.

There are means of purchasing power from preferred providers, if you
happen to have a deregulated utility. But for every kWh of wind power
you buy, that just results in other customers drawing power from coal or
oil fired plants.
