Combined Heat & Power
Improve operational efficiency, add business resilience and reduce energy bills
Increased demand, escalating costs and pressure on grid based supply mean that businesses need to start looking for an alternative energy source – one that gives you the power to control your own energy. Combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration, is secure, flexible, cost-effective, easy to manage and gives you real-time insight into your individual usage.
Business Benefits
From care homes and social housing through to hotels and restaurants, carbon management, sustainability metrics and consumer demand for greener organisations are on the rise.
About CHP
Combined heat and power (CHP) is a highly efficient process that captures and utilises the heat that is a by-product of the electricity generation process. By generating heat and power simultaneously, CHP can reduce carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to the separate means of conventional generation via a boiler and power station.
For many organisations, CHP is the measure that offers the most significant single opportunity to reduce energy costs and to improve environmental performance with existing users of CHP typically saving around 20% of their energy costs.

Financing Your CHP System
There are several approaches to costing and financing a CHP development. However, the benefits of investing in CHP can only be realised by the appropriate optimisation and operation of the plant. We help you to review the common methods of financing the investment of CHP, to compare the projected performance of CHP against your current methods of heat and electrical generation.
