A micro gas turbine is a small power generation system in which the conversion of the chemical energy in the fuel to mechanical energy takes place via the combustion of the gaseous fuel. The working principle entails the compression of air, mixing of fuel with the compressed air, and subsequent ignition of the mixture to form hot exhaust gases, which are subsequently expanded through a turbine.

For instance, the increase in grid stress was one of the issues identified in a July 2025 report released by the Department of Energy due to asset retirements and an increase in energy consumption from advanced manufacturing facilities and data centers. The budget allocates USD 160 million towards improving security infrastructure and rapid response mechanisms for energy emergencies.
