DEFINITION:

For purposes of the Roundtable, Distributed Generation was defined as a plant of 20 megawatts or less sited in or close to a load center or at a customer's site and produces electricity at distribution system voltage. Four technologies considered particularly well-suited to distributed generation are: combustion turbines, reciprocating engines, fuel cells, and photovoltaics.
