'''''Small Is Profitable: The Hidden Economic Benefits of Making Electrical Resources the Right Size''''' is a 2002 book by energy analyst [[Amory Lovins]] and others. The book describes 207 ways in which the size of "electrical resources"—devices that make, save, or store electricity—affects their economic value. It finds that properly accounting for the economic benefits of "distributed" (decentralized) electrical resources typically raises their value by a large factor, perhaps tenfold, through improved system planning, utility construction and operation (especially off the grid), and service quality, and by avoiding [[social cost]]s. This should change how [[renewable energy|distributed resource]]s are marketed and used, and make policy and business opportunities explicit.<ref name=small><br />
