Distributed generation statistics Distributed generation (also known as embedded generation) is generation that is electrically connected to a local network (e.g. Vector Limited's network) or an embedded network (e.g. a shopping mall), but is not directly connected to the national grid (i.e. Transpower's network). One of the specific obligations on distributors was annual reporting of statistics pertaining to connections under the old Part 6 of the Code. Part 6 was revised in 2013.
