Provision of Technical, Economic and Financial Support in relation to the Certification of High Efficiency Combined Heat and Power Plants

Commission for Regulation of Utilities

The HE CHP certification process is designed to assess whether heat and electricity from a CHP plant meets the high efficiency criteria set out in EU and Irish legislation. HE CHP certification is defined on the basis of a demonstrable demand for 'useful heat' and the Primary Energy Savings (PES) achieved versus alternative non-CHP solutions. If the overall efficiency exceeds a defined level of:
• 80% for “Combined cycle gas turbines with heat recovery” and “Steam condensing extraction turbines-based plants”; or
• 75% for other technologies.
then all the electricity from the plant is taken into account in the PES calculation
