What is the Government’s CHP target?
A. In recognition of the significant carbon saving potential of CHP, following the first Earth Summit negotiations in 1992, the then Conservative Government, established in 1993, the first target for CHP of 4 GW (4,000MW) by 2000. With the rapid development of schemes at this time, this target was raised the following year to 5 GW as part of the Government’s Climate Change Programme. The present Government increased this once again in 2000, establishing the current target of 10,000 MW by 2010, which remains a key element of the Government’s revised Climate Change Programme, issued in March 2006.
