What is Microgeneration?
The official definition of microgeneration is in the Energy Act 2004, Section 82. Essentially ‘Microgeneration’ is the generation of energy of up to 45kW (heat) or up to 50kW (electricity). The term “microgeneration” is not restricted to energy generated only from renewable sources. It also covers low and zero carbon technologies. The technologies involve the generation of electricity or heat and in some cases both, which is referred to as cogeneration.
