Why is there not more combined heat and power?
Euroheat & Power
Why do we accept that the average power plant wastes 60% of the energy content of the fuel?

European heat market

Economics of CHP
Competitive heat price+ credit for CO2 savings or- extra CO2 costs?- cost for infrastructure = Contribution heat
E-price spot market+ avoided network fee?- cost for production= Electricity credit

Needs
• good understanding of the dynamics of heating and cooling markets
• comprehensive policy approach (no isolated view on demand or supply side – buildings regulations, white certificates)
• internalisation of external costs (waste of energy, CO2) to enable investment in grid infrastructure
• long-term commitment for climate policies

Conclusion
• No investment in larger combined heat and power plants without heat load (grid)
• No combined heat and power without policies addressing the heat market
• More energy efficiency = lower impact of fuel costs on prices = more competitiveness
