When connected to the electric utility’s distribution lines, Distributed Power Generation supports the delivery of clean, reliable power whilst reducing electricity losses along transmission and distribution lines.

Distributed generation refers to a variety of technologies that generate electricity at or near where it will be used, such as solar panels and combined heat and power. It may serve a single structure, such as a home or business, or it may be part of a microgrid (a smaller grid that is also tied into the larger electricity delivery system), such as at a major industrial facility, a military base, or a large college campus.
