Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units are designed to optimise energy efficiency by simultaneously generating electricity and useful heat from a single energy source. This approach not only reduces energy costs but also minimises emissions. By capturing and reusing heat that would otherwise be wasted, CHP systems provide a reliable and sustainable energy solution, making them an ideal choice for various applications in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
What is a Power Purchase Agreement?
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract between an energy provider and a customer. Under this agreement, the energy provider installs, operates, and maintains the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units on the customer’s site, while the customer agrees to purchase the energy produced at a predetermined rate.
Benefits of a PPA for CHP Units
PPAs often offer lower and more stable energy costs compared to traditional utility rates, allowing businesses to reduce their operational expenses and improve financial predictability. With a PPA, there is no need for the customer to invest in the capital costs of installing CHP units. TRE Energy will handle all the installation and maintenance, reducing financial risk and capital expenditure for you.
CHP units are highly efficient, producing both electricity and useful heat from the same fuel source. This leads to reduced energy waste and lower overall energy consumption. By utilising CHP technology, businesses can significantly lower their carbon footprint, contributing to environmental sustainability and compliance with green energy regulations. CHP systems also provide a reliable source of energy, reducing dependence on the grid and enhancing energy security, which is critical for operations that cannot afford downtime.
How Does a PPA Work?
Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your energy needs and site conditions to propose a customised CHP solution that maximises efficiency and savings. We work with you to establish a PPA that outlines the terms, including the duration of the agreement, energy rates, and responsibilities of both parties. We handle the entire installation process of the CHP units, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations. Once installed, we manage the operation and maintenance of the system. You purchase the energy produced by the CHP units at the agreed-upon rate, benefiting from predictable and often lower energy costs.

A Solar Assisted Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
Solar Power Integration
The system begins with the installation of solar panels to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity using photovoltaic cells. These panels generate electricity during daylight hours, contributing to the overall energy production of the system.
CHP Unit Design
After monitoring the solar electricity output for a year, the CHP unit is designed and tailored to complement the solar energy generation. The goal is to maximise the overall electricity production efficiency of the system by integrating it with the solar power output.
Electricity Generation
The CHP unit employs a fuel source, such as natural gas or biogas, to generate electricity through an internal combustion engine or a turbine. The electricity produced by the CHP unit supplements the solar-generated electricity, providing a consistent and reliable power supply.
Energy Purchase Agreement (EPA)
Customers benefit from free installation of the solar-assisted CHP unit and purchase the electricity generated by the system from your company at a discounted rate (20-30% lower than the national grid prices). This arrangement ensures customers have access to affordable and sustainable electricity.
Benefits of Solar Assisted CHP Units for Electricity Generation
Reliable Power Supply
The integration of solar power and CHP technology ensures a steady and reliable electricity supply, reducing dependency on the national grid.
Cost Savings
Customers enjoy cost savings by purchasing electricity at a discounted rate compared to conventional grid electricity prices.
Sustainable Energy
Solar-assisted CHP units contribute to sustainability by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity generation
In essence, the solar-assisted CHP unit offers customers a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable solution for electricity generation, combining the benefits of solar power with the efficiency of CHP technology.
