Abstract

Power generation at or near the consumers can affect citizens positively, especially those who belong to social classes with low earnings. This article proposes an analysis of potential economic and technical benefits that the insertion of Distributed Generation (DG) in low-income communities can create, including the reduction of commercial losses, and alternatives to allow viable financing.
