This publication by Akanksha Chaurey from India Electricity 2006 explores the potential of distributed generation schemes in meeting minimum electricity needs, fostering dispersed productive activities, and tackling inadequate power supply for motive power needs. While small-scale RETs benefit vulnerable communities, challenges like financing, regulatory barriers, and limited power supply persist. Off-grid village-scale DG systems offer potential for community welfare, rural industry development, and market orientation for rural electricity provision. Networked DG schemes show promise for long-term grid interconnectivity, diversifying economic activities, and enhancing system stability.
