Distributed Generation

Distributed generation refers to small-scale electricity production located close to where it will be used, such as homes or businesses. Instead of relying solely on large power plants and long-distance transmission, this approach generates power locally using sources like solar panels, wind turbines, or microturbines. It improves energy efficiency, reduces transmission losses, and can enhance reliability and resilience of the power supply. Distributed generation often allows for renewable energy integration and can give consumers more control over their energy use. Overall, it’s a modern way to produce electricity closer to the point of consumption, supporting a more sustainable energy system.
