Combined heat and power (CHP) projects have generally been seen as electricity-led. They are therefore sensitive to the policy environment on power-only projects and tend to be more challenging to develop. As well as the straightforward costs there is the added need to ensure a long-term heat customer, both for direct income and to guarantee enhanced levels of Government support. The RHI has introduced a special tariff for CHP, which may be effective if there is sufficient policy stability.

BIOMASS CHP CONTEXT l Combined Heat and


Power can have significant energy savings compared to generating heat and power separately


l Financial support linked to demonstrating those savings, which can often be very complex
