CHP electrical capacity from renewable fuels 2010-2018

This statistic displays the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) electrical capacity from renewable fuels in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2010 to 2018, by installation type, in megawatts electrical. It shows that the electrical capacity from CHP electricity through reciprocating engines increased over this period from 131 megawatts electrical to 522 megawatts electrical. The electrical capacity of pass out condensing steam turbines increased as well and totaled 391 megawatts electrical in 2018.
