Resilient heat, flexible power: A new role for CHP in Europe's energy transition
The energy transition is redefining the business model of district heating. Operators must deliver affordable and reliable heat while navigating increasingly volatile electricity markets and a rapidly changing energy system.
This webinar will explore how flexible gas engine combined heat and power plants can help district heating companies address these challenges. Beyond efficient heat production, CHP can unlock new revenue streams through participation in wholesale, balancing, and capacity markets, turning flexibility into a source of competitive advantage. Focusing on how two-way sector coupling can improve project economics, enhance energy security, and support the integration of renewable generation. Experts from across the energy, finance, and commercial sectors will share practical insights on financing CHP investments, assessing bankability, and maximising the value of flexible assets throughout their lifetime.
