The present invention relates to a hybrid generation system and a control method thereof. The hybrid generation system can maximize operation efficiency of a generator by selectively supplying normal utility power or power, which is generated by the generator, based on a power level supplied to a load. A hybrid generation system includes a generator and a generator controller. The generator generates power, and the generator controller performs a control activity to supply one of the normal utility power and the generated power to the load. The selective supply of the normal utility power or the generated power can maximize efficiency of the generator and as a result, a power consumption level of the hybrid generation system can be decreased, thereby reducing related costs.
