Microgeneration refers to the small-scale production of energy, typically from renewable sources, to meet local energy needs. This can include technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, and micro-hydro systems. The energy generated is often used on-site, reducing reliance on larger power grids and minimizing energy losses during transmission. Microgeneration systems can be installed in homes, businesses, or community facilities, allowing individuals and organizations to generate their own electricity. By harnessing resources like sunlight or wind, microgeneration contributes to sustainability and can lower energy costs while promoting energy independence and resilience in local communities.
