You'll have to come from far, I'm afraid.. the total energy of Earth's magnetic field is about 950 KW, providing a 30 x 10e-3 Tesla magnetic field strength.

Currently, the world's population consumes 15 terawatts of power. Say you'd like to distribute world's energy consumption, assuming field strength is proportional to energy, the magnetic field strength needed for distribution would require a magnetic field of (15x10e12/950000)*30x10e-3 is

4.73 x 10e5 Tesla.

This is a huge field. We'd probably get cooked in milliseconds. A neutron star might invoke it, not a planet. To compare, an amount of only 16 Tesla will levitate a frog,
