Abstract	The objective of the Distributed Energy (DE) Programme is to increase the uptake of DE through the development of integrated systems in order to reduce through-life costs, improve ease of installation and increase efficiency in the combined generation of heat and electricity. Within this programme framework the objective of the Macro DE FRP will develop and validate a software methodology to enable the design of optimised DE solutions where clusters of demand sites are linked with appropriate DE supply equipment. The project will quantify the opportunity for Macro level DE (up to 50MW) in GB and the potential to accelerate the development of appropriate technology by 2020 for the purposes of significant implementation by 2030 This executive summary discusses the five work packages and their results in terms of the key outcomes from the project: Evaluation of the potential benefits of system aggregation and optimisation techniques Characterisation of energy demand and supply profiles for typical UK site types (typically 100 kWe – 10 MWe) Development of software methodology which analyses and integrates combinations of sites to enable optimised DE solutions Benefits case for the development of such an approach Identification of the deployment and CO₂ reduction opportunity for macro DE systems
