Present situation in GermanyCHP 72 PJelt - Who
runs CHP plants

• Not the big utilities like e.on or RWE
• But municipal utilities
• Typically owned (partly) by the city
• Produce electricity and heat and
• Distribute not only district heating but also
  gas, electricity and water

Present situation in GermanyGerman CHP Law

• German CHP Law 2002 (covers period till 2010)
• Official reason of the Law
• Support of cost efficient technology to reduce
  CO2 Emissions
• The Law contains
• Precise definition of CHP electricity and heat
  (German FW 308 in accordance with CEN/CENELEC
  Workshop Agreement)
• Support mechanism for high efficiency CHP
• Mechanisms to supervise reporting of CHP
  electricity production in CHP plants

• Public grid, to which the CHP plant is connected.
• Type of the plant.
• Fuels used in the plant and
• Net capacity of the plant.
• A state of the art expertise covering the

Supervising ToDo-List for operators of
CHPpoints that have to be taken into account

• External controllers are allowed to inspect the
  CHP plant and documentation.
• The grid operator is allowed to inspect the
  metering equipment.
• The operator of the CHP plant must pay the costs
  to connect the plant to the public grid and for
  metering equipment.
• Continuous calculation of net electricity
  production (metered at the generator minus
  electricity consumption of the CHP-plant), of the
  CHP net heat production and of the fuel inputs by
  operator.
• Monthly report of electricity fed into the grid
  must be sent to the authority by the grid
  operator.
• Each year a state of the art document containing
  the amount of CHP electricity fed into the grid,
  CHP net electricity production, CHP net heat
  production and input of fuels must be sent to the
  authority and to the grid operator. This document
  has to be attested by an officially recognized
  auditor.
