*Combined Heat and Power, also known as cogeneration.
The source notes that a site may contain more than one CHP scheme; the capacity categories have changed since publication in the 2013 Digest. Additionally, MicroCHP schemes installed under FIT are not included in these figures. At the end of 2015, 498 such schemes were registered on Ofgems Central FIT Register totaling 0.51MWe.
This statistic displays the total capacity of installed Combined Heat and Power (CHP) schemes in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2010 to 2018, in megawatts electrical. It shows that the total capacity of installation schemes decreased over this period, from 5,950 megawatts electrical in 2010 to 5,985 megawatts electrical in 2018.
