2002 WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

The purpose of the National CHP Roadmap Workshop is to track the progress of CHP implementation in the U.S. toward the CHP Challenge Goal, set in 1998. If met, this goal will double CHP capacity in the U.S. to 92 GW. Actions to achieve the goal were published in The National CHP Roadmap, Doubling Combined Heat and Power Capacity in the United States by 2010. Each year since the goal was set, and the Roadmap was published, CHP advocates have gathered to discuss progress toward the goal and determine what actions need to be undertaken in the next year on the "road to 92 GW." The workshop is co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Combined Heat and Power Association (USCHPA), and the International District Energy Association (IDEA) and attended by leading CHP practitioners, equipment manufacturers, energy services companies, and non-governmental associations.

This year, the Roadmap workshop is being held in conjunction with a CHP and DER Workshop for Federal Facility Managers. The CHP and DER workshop is the third in a series of four regional workshops sponsored by the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) to provide federal facility managers with information, tools, and contacts for installing CHP and DER equipment and systems in their facilities. The first two workshops in the series were held in Atlanta in May and Chicago in June. The workshops are co-sponsored by DOE Regional Offices in each locale.

In addition to these two events, the October meeting will feature sessions on the EPA CHP Partnership. Partners representing federal, state, and local government agencies, industry, businesses, and NGOs, will join headquarters and state EPA CHP staff to discuss current and future activities, and potential partners will be invited to join.
