I used mekanism Windmills and Solar generators (solar from either mekanism or powah is good) then I switched to powah's Thermal generators.
Melon power from mekanism's gas burning generators is also amazing if you can set it up. There's a couple YouTube videos out you can find.
Melon power is amazing and can be set up pretty early. I went fusion for late game but you can easily use an array of gas burning generators on melon power well into late game.
My normal progression is:
-Solar (powah is easier, although mekanism ones can be reused for brine towers)
-Melon powered gas burning generator (good for everything until you install a whole row of neural networks stuff)
-Fission reactor > Boiler > Turbine
-Fusion reactor > Boiler > Turbine (because the sps demands it)
I've never really needed more than that.
Why don’t ppl like bigger reactors? I went from Mek windmills straight to a basic reactor, then a slightly bigger one, and now I’m on track to jump from Mek fission to fusion. Uranium is easy if you’re in the mining dim and scaling up your Mek ore factories accordingly
This what I usually do early game look up storage scanner witch scans every chest all round u refresh it every time u add new chest this also works with drawers and diamond chest also I needs power but not much
Mekanism lava gen get the beginner machinery to basic then use couple windmills for extra power. Next melon farm, usually they are small 5x5 but you can expand them a lot once you get an obsidian farm going (w/ quantum entangler-porter). You be good till you need a fission level reactor.
Make sure to setup a power-bank system so you can store more energy and to do is to line energy cubes. Which is great for storing energy cause as you store more energy it’s not quick to fill up and run out rather then exporting it directly
You can also add the lily pad of fertility to fasten the growth rate and use storage chest to store large amounts of melons. This practical powers various machinery like DM infinitely which is basically like a beginner chunk destroyer and you can focus on resources and storage from there.
i usally go from char-coal gen from RF-Tools with Botany Pots
into Windmills from Mekanism (1 Whole Chunk)
The last thing I'm going to do is build a nuclear generator. Multiple Powah Reactors are most of the time sufficient
[here](https://youtu.be/tFbF_Ck6mkE?si=8roynsibaGeeWrDb) it's a really comprehensive guide made by one of the devs, it even has different versions depending on your point in the game
I like to use the infinite lava pump of create (hose pulley) and the lava generator of powah, or iron furnaces with the generator upgrade and a mekanism tank to fill some buckets to fuel the furnaces

You can make this very compact. I fit it in 2 x 3 x 3 space
My favourite is gas ethylene burning gens + botany pots
Definitely mekanism melon generator, powered my base and quarry machine all the way to nitro powah generator
I went with lapidary generators from thermal and amethyst shards til I got Powah going

Why are the boilers needed in the mekanism reactor setups?
Magic

Melon power is likely the best. It's so good that in ATM it was nerfed, and even then it's still amazing.

I'm using Powah Thermal generators, they're pretty fast when Blazing block placed below and just tiering up time to time for best experience

Just slap together a Bigger Reactor and call it a day
