What is Distributed Generation?
Distributed generation is generally a small electrical production facility that provides electricity to a home or business, with excess electricity sold to a utility. These production facilities can generate electricity from a variety of energy sources, including wind, farm waste, water or sunlight.

RG&E customers can receive permission to connect their energy source to RG&E's electrical system and sell excess generation to RG&E. To do so, customers, or their contractors, need to complete an application and follow a series of steps to ensure their system conforms to RG&E's standards and is safely connected.
