Anyone can be an energy producer nowadays, but the challenge we’re facing is how to organize the best possible network that satisfies the requirements of both accommodating renewable energies and keeping electricity available.
The term "distributed generation" or "decentralized generation" refers to the production of electrical energy using small-scale facilities that are most often installed locally, close to where energy will be produced.
