Power Generation Market Definition
Power generation refers to electricity production using different types of technologies in order to supply power to the electrical grid for society's electrical needs. It includes electricity produced in electricity-only plants and in combined heat and power plants.
The main types of power generation are hydroelectricity,
fossil fuel electricity,
nuclear electricity, solar electricity, wind electricity, geothermal electricity, biomass electricity, and other electricity. Hydroelectricity, also known as hydroelectric power or hydroelectric energy, is a type of energy that generates electricity by harnessing the power of moving water, such as water running over a waterfall. Energy for power generation is derived from both conventional (non-renewable) and renewable sources. The different types of grids include off-grid and on-grid, which are used by the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors.
