The global market for Distribution Energy Generation (DEG) is expected to reach USD 179.65 billion
by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. DEG operates in off-grid or on-grid
system by collecting energy from various small sources and distributes it to various end use
industries. Increase in consumer awareness with regards benefits offered by DEG in terms of air
pollution, climate changes and green house emission are expected to drive demand over the forecast
period. In addition, low energy generation cost and economies of scale of DEG plants are expected
to further augment the growth of the market.
Grid connected DEG was the largest application segment with a capacity of 101.07 GW in 2013 and
expected to dominate the market on account of its direct connection to utility and low cost compared

Further key findings from the study suggest:
The global installed capacity for DEG was 102.97 GW in 2013 and is expected to reach 227.63 GW
by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 12.0% from 2014 to 2020.
CHP was the most dominant technology in the DEG market with installed capacity of 44.50 GW in
2013. However, solar PV was the largest segment of the market in terms of revenue due to the high
cost and large installed base. The solar PV revenue in DEG was USD 55.90 billion in 2013 and is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2014 to 2020.
Commercial and industrial installations of DEG were the largest end-use segment, accounting for
76.55 GW of global installed capacity in 2013. However, building and residential applications of DEG
is expected to be the fastest growing segment of the market, at an estimated CAGR of 13.5% from
2014 to 2020.
Europe has the largest installed capacity for DEG, exceeding 41.00 GW in 2013; owing to stringent
regulatory scenario resulting in high preference towards DEG. Asia Pacific is expected to be the
fastest growing regional market, at an estimated CAGR of 12.7% from 2014 to 2020 owing to
increasing energy demand from India and China.
The key companies in the market include First Solar Inc., General Electric Energy LLC, FuelCell
Energy Inc., Ballard Power Systems Inc., JA Solar Holdings Co. Ltd., Sharp Corp., Ingersoll-Rand
plc, Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd., Siemens AG, Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. and UTC
Power LLC.
