Combined heat and power (CHP), sometimes known as cogeneration, is a highly efficient method of energy generation that simultaneously produces electricity and useful heat from a single fuel source. UPA Energy works with our clients to provide comprehensive support for the implementation of CHP systems in a range of settings. We help organisations optimise energy efficiency and reduce costs while enhancing overall sustainability.

CHP systems operate by harnessing the heat generated during electricity production and utilising it for heating, cooling, or other processes. Unlike conventional power generation, CHP systems capture and use generated heat, maximising the overall efficiency of the energy conversion process. This results in significantly higher energy efficiency levels.

In practice, CHP can achieve efficiencies of up to 80-90% compared to just 40% for conventional grid-supplied electricity and separate on-site heating systems. These high levels of efficiency translate into substantial energy savings for organisations. Much reduced fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions combine to make CHP a highly environmentally sustainable solution for energy generation.

CHP systems also provide you with much greater control over your energy production and consumption, providing a high degree of flexibility and greater resilience in energy supply. CHP systems can reduce reliance on grid-supplied electricity, mitigating the risks of power outages, while ensuring uninterrupted operation of critical processes.

CHP systems can be used across a range of sectors, including commercial buildings, industrial facilities, hospitals, and universities. At UPA Energy, our expert team works closely with you to assess your energy needs, evaluate site-specific challenges, and develop customised CHP systems that meet your requirements.
