Further, since the heat is generally used locally, there is less associated line loss from distribution over energy grids. (powermag.com)
Rather, federal law requires that states consider the benefits of avoiding fossil fuel consumption and the benefits of reducing line losses through distributed generation. (greentechmedia.com)
Despite the added complexities, embedded generation can improve the efficiency of delivery of power closer to its end - users, resulting in cost savings associated with line losses and transmission. (ieso.ca)
