What is Distributed Energy?
- Off grid power supply: Distributed renewable energy refers to the generation of power from clean sources like solar and wind energy within a specific area without being connected to the traditional power grid.
- Localized power supply and consumption: Unlike grid-scale solar and wind energy, which are connected to the inter-state power transmission system, distributed energy solutions offer a localized power supply.The generated power is consumed locally, reducing the reliance on traditional fossil fuel-based electricity and minimizing transmission losses.
