From a consumer perspective, distributed generation is the ability to generate on-premise energy that can be fed back into the distribution grid. Typical examples of distributed generation focus on renewable energy resources including:

- Small wind turbines
- Electric vehicles
Distributed generation gives rise to the premise of net metering, where energy outflows from the local energy sources are deducted from metered energy inflows.
