теплофикационная установка малой мощности на базе газотурбинных установок

Russian to English Other Energy / Power Generation
Потребность промышленной, коммунальной и сельской энергетики России в теплофикационных установках малой мощности на базе газотурбинных установок перекрывается энергоустановками, изготовленными на основе авиационных двигателей.

I know that these are heating units, but I don't know how best to translate малой мощности. I also don't know if the units are actually gas turbines, of some sort..I am lost..

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you!

light-duty cogeneration turbine

Here, they refer to systems or power plants generating both thermal and electricity power, I suppose. Such systems are called Combined cycle/cogeneration/CHP plants. These plants use various equipment, that derived from aircraft jet engines and gas turbines included.
As for the phrase "малой мощности", I think it implicates mini- or micro- CHP plants.

My variant of translation is the following:
In the Russian industry, agriculture and public utility sector, demand for mini-/micro-CHP plants using gas turbines is met with power units derived from aircraft jet engines.

Just an option.

Pardon, the answer line was just my first variant. The right answer is "micro-/mini-CHP plant"

Example sentence:

IHI is supplying power generation equipment and combined heat and power equipment using gas turbines derived from aircraft jet engines, gas engines and diesel engines

he GE LM2500 is the workhorse of aeroderivative gas turbines

low-capacity cogen(eration) power plant (generator)

cogen = combined heat and power (plant) = теплофикационная.
The explanation is largely similar to that of Ella Mikhailova.
