Decentralized energy
Decentralized energy is also known as distributed generation, captive power, embedded generation, microgeneration, combined heat and power (CHP), combined cooling heating and power, CCHP, trigeneration, etc. Some confusion still surrounds these terms but their common feature is that they generate electricity (and in many cases thermal energy) where it is needed and not at a remote site.
