replies: text: Inappropriate since one article is dealing with a UK topic and the other with an international topic. Could perhaps be merged into a new topic of Microgeneration in the United Kingdom, if anyone has the time to write it... Gralo 19:08, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Gralo here FWIW, Wind Turbines (UK Domestic) should be in microgeneration but in a UK specific article. --BMT 19:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I think the articles should be kept separate. Johnfos 03:22, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Full ACK, please do not merge. Micro generation is not per se better than doing it on a larger scale. As heat cannot be as easily transported as electricity, the micro scale of cogeneration avoids heat losses during transport and capital expenses for the district heating grid. This is crutial in non-urban areas or residential areas with a low density of heat demand. --Gunnar.Kaestle 17:24, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Yearly saving of  microgeneration system

message: The microgeneration topic is important and the insertion of political points of view (and the accusation of such) is a silly tangent
My assertions:  microgeneration is a broad topic that includes micro-reactors being marketed by Toshiba as well as wind, solar and water and gas generators.  The article should have sections dealing with:
1.  Each of the above listed methods of microgeneration
2.  Implications for the developed world in terms of integration with smart grid technology
3.  Implications for developing countries in which grids do not exist and decentralized generation may be more practical
Does anyone have ways to improve this schema?

thread_title:  Is anyone moving this along 

message: As we build more and more distributed residential power generation in the US, it is a shame that the current standard is for it to all totally shut down (due to safety concerns) when it is most needed -- when the main grid stops working.-96.237.79.6 (talk) 23:27, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  valuable resource underutilized 

message: The article should be broadened to include all small-scale power generation alternatives to traditional centralized grid-connected power.-96.237.79.6 (talk) 23:34, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  include all small-scale power generation alternatives 

message: Connecting Microgeneration to the grid has advantages: no need for local storage or other aspects of a fully self-sufficient system, and the potential to make helpful contributions to the grid system no matter what size the microgenerator. It has the disadvantage of usually not being usable when the grid fails.
Another significant issue is the monthly service charge.  In the US, each utility service charges about $10/month even if no energy is used. $10/month for electricity. $10/month for natural gas... (What is the situation in other countries?) For small, efficient households this monthly service charge may be as large as the energy charge, and reduces the incentive to use less energy. This connection charge makes microgeneration at about the level of individual usage economically unattractive (no charge for the energy but still paying too much just to receive the paperwork) unless the switch is made to full electricity independence disconnected from the grid.-96.237.79.6 (talk) 00:06, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  divorcing the grid 

message: I'm proposing to merge microgeneration and distributed generation. There's a lot of overlap, and this section even says that they're synonymous. I'm undecided as to which title the merged article should have. --Article editor (talk) 21:14, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
