[EN14] Cogeneration of electricity and heat
Driving forces

Key message
Bad

Production of electricity from CHP is slowly increasing after the reduction in 2009. In 2011, it was still far from its goal for 2010. The expected start in the industry due to the new support scheme in 2009 was prevented by the economic crisis.

The indicator shows the combined production of heat and electricity in Slovenia, which is one means of increasing the efficiency of electricity generation, as it makes use of the heat that is otherwise lost in conventional thermal power plants. Production of electricity in CHP units is calculated using Eurostat methodology
