Presuming there is no actual energy cost to teleportation, which seems to be the case (dear conservation of mass and energy : PSYCH!), depending on your limits, there could be an interesting porocess of spending the day raising 1-ton rocks a 1/2 mile up to drop onto a levering/gear system that turns a generator.
Alternately, we have the teleportation style of Kevin O'Donnell's Mcgill Feighan series, which includes the (rayther necessary when you consider it) aspect of being able to add and remove momentum from mass, which, unless you're travelling in a straight line along the rotation of the earth is necessary to avoid sudden relocation into orbit - or the side of a mountain. This would allow a number of teleporters to continually add momentum to a flywheel-generator system.
