Definition: Combined heat and power

Category: Energy

Combined heat and power (CHP) plant refers to a plant which is designed to produce both heat and electricity. It is sometimes referred to as a co-generation power station. If possible, fuel inputs and electricity/heat outputs should be reported on a unit basis rather than on a plant basis. However, if data are not available on a unit basis, the convention for defining a CHP plant noted above should be adopted. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/;ELX_SESSIONID=SkP2JRQdhyzLXkYdGPv9Sp342kJcWjtwvW2wyXLpMbSTkmxlVDFj!1423190359?uri=CELEX:32008R1099
