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.
