*Combined Heat and Power, also known as cogeneration. **Megawatts electrical
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 with a capacity between two megawatt electrical and ten megawatts electrical in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2010 to 2018. It shows that the total capacity of these installation schemes increased over this period from 669 megawatts electrical in 2010, to 1,091 megawatts electrical in 2018.
