Guide to the Successful Implementation of State Combined Heat and Power Policies

This Guide to Successful Implementation of State Combined Heat and Power Policies is designed to inform state regulators, facility operators, utilities, and other key stakeholders about the benefits, costs, and implications of greater use of combined heat and power (CHP). Achieving greater use of CHP is consistent with President Obama’s Executive Order 13626-Accelerating Investment in Industrial Energy Efficiency, which calls for 40 gigawatts (GW) of new, cost-effective CHP by 2020.
