Microgeneration is the small-scale production of heat or electric power from a "low carbon source," as an alternative or supplement to traditional centralized grid-connected power.

Microgeneration technologies include small-scale wind turbines, micro hydro, solar PV systems, microbial fuel cells, ground source heat pumps, and micro combined heat and power installations.^[1] These technologies are often combined to form a hybrid power solution that can offer superior performance and lower cost than a system based on one generator.^[2]
