What is micro-generation?
Micro-generation systems range in size from a few kilowatts (kW) to 500
kW. They bring power generation to the customer's site and make it possible
for the customer to disconnect from the grid, if desired. A small number
of customers with micro-generators may choose to connect to a local micro-grid
to enhance reliability and further reduce the cost of power. The emergence
of Micro-Generation Technologies has the potential to create a structural
shift with major impact on the way the electric utility industry operates.
