So distributed generation shouldn’t happen?
As far as I know distributed generation is happening and it is likely to increase as time goes on.

In general non-renewables should be centralized due to economies and efficiencies of scale but renewables almost have to be distributed due to the amount of space they take and localized weather effects.
Yes distributed generation is good. I said not generation in my first line. The wikipedia article you referenced doesn’t mention transmission grid infrastructure, I’m curious, who is responsible for that in a distributed grid anyway?
Transmission owners own transmission. Transmission operators operate transmission.
Reliability coorfinators have a wide overview and exist to help keep the grid together.

IMO, the reliability coordinators, transmission owners, and transmission operators should be centralized while generation should be decentralized.
This reminds me, the postal system should be centralized. A decentralized postal system would be an absolute mess.
