Distributed generation is also known as embedded generation, on-site generation or decentralized generation. Distributed generation systems typically refer to small scale power generation technologies.

The Ontario government has set targets to double the amount of renewable energy generation in the province to 15,700 megawatts by 2025 and to bring on 2,700 megawatts of new, renewable power by 2010.

Distributed generation is one of the ways the province intends to meet these targets.
