But he’s doing a serious road test of something that is going to become familiar: microgeneration.

Microgeneration technologies are seen as having considerable potential by the Government.

The continued use of private electric generators is called microgeneration.

It is hoped the production of energy on a small scale in a system known as microgeneration will be used to reduce fuel costs.

Not, I'll bet, if the officials can help it: they could well scupper microgeneration again.

It also fails to pay proper attention to microgeneration or equality in energy supply.

The plan includes building 7,000 wind turbines, with more support for green power, renewable heat and microgeneration.

However, the microgeneration strategy launched in March 2006 was seen as a disappointment by many commentators.

Its products and solutions are part of the new "microgeneration" movement that is transforming the way everyday people provide for their energy needs.

The pressure is needed to provide a consistent level of funding for microgeneration schemes, like solar power, in people's homes.

A change of mindsets and incentives are bringing microgeneration into the mainstream.

Building for a Future magazine: Microgeneration - Good or bad?

These sections make provision for the promotion of microgeneration.

Some £3m is being spent as part of a pilot project to introduce fuel-saving microgeneration to fuel poor communities.

Like microgeneration, the idea of such "smart grids" has been circulating in the energy community for some time.

The government's energy cash back scheme aims for only 2% of our energy to be met from microgeneration by 2020.

There are nearly 100,000 microgeneration installations in the country and the report said that could rise to around one million by 2020 under current support levels.

The money will be used to install domestic microgeneration technology to reduce dependency on traditional fossil fuels.

For the purposes of the Act, microgeneration technologies include:

Government-led investment in energy efficiency and microgeneration which would make 'every building a powerstation'.

Leggett is known for his support of microgeneration technology in the fight to abate global warming.

To achieve this it proposed legally-binding targets for microgeneration.

Many will be protected from such costs by benefits such as energy efficiency, microgeneration technology and bill discounts.

For this purpose, renewable sources include wind, hydroelectric, and solar power whether from large or microgeneration projects.

Subsidising microgeneration at home costs even more.
