Distributed energy resources (DERs) are electricity-producing resources or controllable loads that are located close to where electricity is used and directly connected to a local distribution system or connected to a host facility within the local distribution system. DERs provide an alternative to or an enhancement of the traditional electric power grid.

DERs can include:

• solar photovoltaic
• combined heat and power plants
• electricity storage
• small natural gas-fuelled generators
• wind, water power
• biomass and biogas
• landfill gas

These resources are typically smaller in scale than the traditional generation facilities that serve most of Ontario demand.
