Business Strategy: Cogeneration in Europe

This IDC Energy Insights report examines the status and prospects for cogeneration in Europe.

"Though there has been limited growth in the deployment of cogeneration technologies in the last few years, there has recently been a renewed push across Europe with new policies and incentives introduced," said Daniella Muallem, senior research analyst, IDC Energy Insights EMEA. "With the exception of some Nordic countries, cogeneration has been under-deployed across Europe and there remains considerable potential. Given rising energy prices and the potential benefits of cogeneration in terms of energy efficiency and reduced emissions there is significant room for growth if the new policies succeed in overcoming market and regulatory barriers."
