Micro-Generation a Definition

You would think it would be easy to define something like micro-generation. Well perhaps you wouldn’t, but I certainly did. But as with a lot of things, it means different things to different people. The UK Goverment through the means of the Energy Act 2004 (osl) defines micro-generation as generation of a capacity of less than 50 kW.

Which as James Keirstead points out (osl) is more than enough for most households, whose winter peak demand is usually about 20kW. Actually James on his blog Small is beautiful (osl) has done a nice job on a more complete definition and I recommend you check it out.
