Cogeneration, also known as on-site power generation, Combined Heat and Power (CHP), Distributed Generation (DG) and others, is the simultaneous production of electricity and useful 'waste' heat. Any facility that has significant thermal load requirements could be a technical fit for cogeneration. The economic fit will depend on the cost of electricity, how close the thermal demand matches the thermal production, and the complexity of the installation (first cost).
