Metering of fuel input to CHP, and electricity and heat outputs, is good practice. Metering allows sites to confirm that their CHP scheme is maintaining performance and hence cost savings. This is emphasised as one of the requirements of the CHPQA programme, necessary for schemes to gain CCL exemption. For CHPQA metering requirements, see the Guidance Notes available on the website.

The UK heat map has been developed as a tool aimed at assisting power station developers consider the opportunities for combined heat and power (CHP) as required under planning policy. However it can also be used by both small and large organisations to help identify the locations where CHP, renewable heat plants and district heating would have the greatest technical and economic potential, and therefore the largest positive environmental impact.
