Micro-generation is the production of power through a small-scale renewable source. This includes solar panels, wind turbines, and others. It lets applicants produce a portion or all of their residential or commercial yearly electrical energy consumption.

Micro-generation systems connect to the City of Lethbridge's distribution grid. 

Micro-generation systems need to meet the following requirements:

• Be less than 5 MW in size
• Only produce the same amount of yearly energy consumption on site or less, not more
• Produce power from a renewable energy source such as solar or wind
• Meet all provincial requirements for electrical safety equipment
