Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Playbook

Imagine your site as its own energy centre. The morning shift arrives, and heating and hot water continues to flow as usual. But behind the scenes, something fundamental has changed: instead of relying entirely on the grid, your site is generating low-cost electricity and useful heat onsite, from a single engine doing two jobs brilliantly. 

That is the promise of Combined Heat and Power (CHP). You’ll get cheaper energy, greater efficiency, and with our financing options, no upfront costs or ongoing maintenance charges plus longer-term price predictability.

In this playbook, you’ll learn how to:

• Generate electricity and heat from one fuel source with CHP
• Assess whether CHP is right for your organisation
• Understand how CHP works in practice
• Explore CHP fuel options, including natural gas, biomethane and hydrogen
• Build a robust business case for cost savings and certainty
• Understand financing options to suit your balance sheet
• Integrate CHP into a wider onsite energy strategy
• Maintain CHP performance for maximum efficiency, reliability and compliance
• Start your CHP journey with a practical checklist
