A system (1) for the production and controlled distribution of electric energy in isolated areas, having a rotary electric generator (5) for producing electric energy, and an internal combustion engine (6) for powering the electric generator (5); the system (1) being characterized by having an energy switching node (7) to which at least one electric energy user (4) is connectable electrically; the energy switching node (7) having electric power draw measuring means (12) for determining, instant by instant, the electric power drawn by the electric energy user (4), and electric energy supply cutoff means (13) for cutting off, on command, electric energy supply to the electric energy user (4); the system (1) also having electric energy supply control means (23) for controlling electric energy supply to users, and which meter the consumption of the electric energy user (4) instant by instant on the basis of the findings of the electric power draw measuring means (12), and activate the electric energy supply cutoff means (13) to cut off energy supply when the consumption credit of the electric energy user (4) runs out.
