Italian term

autoconsumo

Italian to English Other Energy / Power Generation
"La “generazione distribuita” si basa sull’utilizzo diffuso di piccole centraline per la produzione di elettricità, generalmente destinata sia all’autoconsumo, sia alla cessione in rete".

"Gli impianti fotovoltaici possono essere autonomi (cioè funzionanti in isola, per l’autoconsumo) oppure collegati in parallelo alla rete elettrica pubblica".

Self-consumption is tempting, but in my understaning of the way the world works it would mean that you eat yourself, not consume electricity.
