Short summary

This study examines strategic deployment of distributed wind (DW) energy in high-energy-burden areas by evaluating spatial, technical, and economic factors. It highlights locations where installing DW turbines could potentially help to alleviate energy hardship. The findings offer insights for decision-makers and developers to optimize DW deployment and potentially contribute to economic relief.
