With Good Quality Combined Heat and Power (GQCHP) you can Capture previously wasted heat from electricity generation and reduce your impact on the environment.
At npower, we are always looking to help our business customers reduce their impact on the environment and to supply as much electricity as we can from more sustainable sources. These include renewable's, such as wind and hydro, and other sources, such as GQCHP, that are cleaner and more efficient than conventional generation.
GQCHP is the simultaneous generation of electricity and useful heat from a single fuel source. In conventional generators the heat is wasted. GQCHP generators capture heat and use it again to provide steam or hot water to large buildings close by, reducing the need to burn more fossil fuel to produce the heat required. By not burning this extra fossil fuel, GQCHP significantly reduces Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere and is therefore more environmentally friendly.
If the electricity you consume is generated from GQCHP sources, current legislation provides for HM Revenue & Customs to declare it exempt from the Government’s Climate Change Levy (CCL). On electricity bills, CCL is then replaced by a climate change equivalent charge.
