WHAT DOES MICROGENERATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Microgeneration

Microgeneration is the small-scale generation of heat and electric power by individuals, small businesses and communities to meet their own needs, as alternatives or supplements to traditional centralized grid-connected power. Although this may be motivated by practical considerations, such as unreliable grid power or long distance from the electrical grid, the term is mainly used currently for environmentally conscious approaches that aspire to zero or low-carbon footprints or cost reduction. It differs from micropower in that it is principally concerned with fixed power plants rather than for use with mobile devices.

Definition of microgeneration in the English dictionary

The definition of microgeneration in the dictionary is the small-scale generation of electrical power, through means such as solar or wind power.
