What is combined heat and power?
Combined Heat and Power is the simultaneous production of heat and electricity. Using a reliable internal combustion engine fed from a single source of fuel, such as natural gas or LPG, a CHP system can produce usable amounts of both heat and electricity.
The Government's Microgeneration Strategy has identified Micro-CHP as one of the key technologies which offers realistic alternative to centrally generated electricity.
