Distributed generation (DG) allows electric company customers to generate their own power. Many states have developed policies and standards regarding interconnection of DG equipment to the electric grid. These policies and standards were examined and compared in Massachusetts and California. This comparison showed that California is encouraging DG use more than Massachusetts. Several factors were identified which may explain these differences. These factors include population growth rates and the current energy crisis in California.
