COMBINED, HEAT AND POWER SYSTEMS
What it is:
Combined Heat & Power (CHP) is the simultaneous production of electricity and recovery of heat, a by-product of electricity generation.
Who can benefit from it:
It is ideal for industrial or commercial applications where there is a balanced local demand for heat and electricity.
Dalkia can provide a fully outsourced design, build, finance, operate & maintain model with a long-term contract.
We are currently responsible for the operation and maintenance of over 810 CHP units worldwide totalling over 4,923MW of power output.
The benefits of CHP include:
 | Significant end user energy savings compared to local heat production and importing electricity from grid | |
| Significant environmental benefits – Typically achieves 25% input energy savings compared to independent heat / electricity production (this benefit is recognised in the government energy white paper). |
Businesses can now avail of grant support of up to 30% of the capital costs for CHP installations from Sustainable Energy Ireland.
To see a Dalkia CHP case study please click here. Dalkia acquired in July 2007 a majority share in The Cogeneration Company Limited, owner of leading combined heat & power (CHP) systems supplier Cogenco Limited.
