What is distributed generation?

The process of generating electricity at or near the point of use. Distributed generation provides electricity for your home or business through the use of small-scale power generation technology. A number of technologies fueled by natural gas are available now, including reciprocating engines, fuel cells, and microturbines. These technologies use natural gas to produce electricity in an environmentally friendly way. Examples of distributed generation include solar energy and wind-powered systems, as well as natural gas-fueled technologies. Among their many advantages, they offer customers control of their electric supply, as well as improved power quality and reliability. Certain technologies are better for different applications. NJNG can help you to choose the products and approaches that will work best for you.
