The objective of this paper is to develop a renewable energy source as a private generation system, PGS. A proposed approach is presented for this issue which includes economical model for deducing the rate of return on the capital invested under different utilization modes. These modes are; stand-alone system, distribution - PGS connection and PGS central power station. The proposed approach has been used for operating the photovoltaic and wind energy systems as PGSs at different sites in Egypt. A number of measures are developed concerning this point.
