DE / CHP Rules – Getting the Regulatory Framework Right – Examples of Global Best Practice – Grand Ballroom

CHP / DE systems and technologies are proven, reliable, cost-effective and applied throughout the world. However, their share of the global power market is no more than 7%. The main reasons for this relate to policy and regulatory obstacles that are common to almost every country. Instead of this array of ‘Barrier Standards’, the policy framework for CHP / DE needs a series of guiding regulatory principles that will ensure fair market access. This session identifies what principles should be applied, based on best practice examples around the world.
