A few years ago, Alberta started doing studies into regulating micro generation - home/business users generating their own power and feeding back excess into the grid.

At work today, I heard from a co-worker that some people in Calgary have Whisper Gen Generators that use Stirling Engines in their homes. These will generate home electricity cheaply on natural gas and are about the size of a dishwasher.

I am very interested in getting one installed.

Does anybody have any idea where I should start? My internet searches are coming up somewhat fruitless, only finding studies or news articles from 2010 (the Zoo installed some).
