What is Microgeneration?
Microgeneration is the generation of zero and low carbon emitting power and heat on a small scale, often generated by individuals, businesses and organisations and small communities. Microgeneration power and heat is often generated to be used at source by the people or businesses that generate it, although most microgeneration installations are connected to the grid, meaning excess power can be fed into the national grid, generating a cash income for the microgeneration producers.
Microgeneration technology is also often referred to as small scale renewable technology; with small scale microgeneration projects, or renewable energy projects, usually producing less than ENTER KW per annum.
