Distributed generation (DG) is a supply technology that can be at or near retail load, enabling smart buildings and power park/premium operating districts, providing high-quality, 99.999% reliability. [..]

Electricity generation usually on a relatively small scale that is connected to the distribution networks rather than directly to the national transmission systems.

This term refers to electricity generating installations that are scattered across the grid, rather than placed at a central location. They tend to be small-scale generating plants – often operating using renewable fuels. They also include domestic power generators such as roof-top wind turbines and solar panels, and microhydro installations. As mo [..]

Decentralized, modular, and flexible power generation located close to the serviced loads. Distributed microgrids can control smaller areas of demand with distributed generation and storage capacity.

Generation located at an end-use customer's facility.

 The production of electricity on the site of end use, especially at small office buildings, hospitals, homes, and small businesses.

Small-scale generation distributed throughout a utility’s system for the purpose of meeting local peak loads or displacing the need to build additional distribution lines.  Residential-size fuels cells and microturbines powered by natural gas or other commonly available fuels are examples.  These kinds of resources are becoming more competitive. [..]

A generating unit that is interconnected with an electric energy distribution system.

Electric generation sited at a customer premises, providing electric energy to the customer load on that site or providing wholesale capacity and energy to the local utility distribution company for use by multiple customers in contiguous distribution substation service areas. The generator size and transmission needs shall be such that the plant o [..]

Refers to electricity provided by small, modular power generators (typically ranging in capacity from a few kilowatts to 50 megawatts) located at or near customer demand.

a modular electricity generation or storage concept that involves locating smaller generators, based on a variety of technologies, closer to the electrical loads that will be using them. DG has the po [..]

The production of electrical power close to the end user.

means single or small clusters of wind turbines spread across the landscape, in contrast to the concentration of wind turbines in large arrays or wind power plants.

Energy generation projects where electrical energy is generated primarily for on-site consumption. Term is applied for wind, solar, and non-renewable energy.*

Small, modular, decentralized, grid-connected or off-grid energy systems located in or near the place where energy is used.  

Decentralized generation technologies designed to supplement or replace power produced by large generating plants. In most cases, distributed generation is located at or near the point of use. Distributed generation further provides electric cooperatives with an option when electricity use spikes—a consumer can switch to his or her backup power sup [..]

Is the generation of energy at smaller scales, usually close to where it is used, than that of traditional power stations. Amongst other advantages, distributed generation reduces the amount of energy [..]

A distributed generation system involves small amounts of generation located on a utility's distribution system for the purpose of meeting local (substation level) peak loads and/or displacing the need to build additional (or upgrade) local distribution lines.

An electrical generating facility located at a Customer’s point of delivery (point of common coupling) ten megawatts (MW) or less and connected at a voltage less than or equal to 60 kilovolts (kV) which may be connected in parallel operation to the utility system.

A distributed generation system involves small amounts of generation located on a utility's distribution system for the purpose of meeting local peak loads and/or displacing the need to build additional local distribution lines.
