
Italy promotes cogeneration by:
› Reducing excise duty on natural gas (NG)
› Energy Efficient Certificates (EEC) on NG if high efficient
combined heat and power
› Green Certificates only if Renewable Energy Sources
(RES)

Incentives are not determinant in the development of
cogeneration unless for RES
Incentives as % of NPV for typical appl.


NG
3%
RES
33%
For NG, CHP is almost no-incentives-like and therefore
structurally embedded in the industry for which it makes
sense
For RES, CHP is often speculative yet limited
In Italy, 83% of CHP plant is below 20 MWe


In 2007,overall units sold were 219, stable compared to
2006, which reported 223 units, for an equivalent power
of about 150 MWe
Most of the units were between 200 kWe and 3 MWe

CHP below 1 MWe
› Driven mainly by incentives and by RES-based CHP units

CHP between 1 MWe and 20 MWe
› Interesting growth opportunities driven positively by
technology innovation and negatively by the economic
downturn

CHP above 20 MWe
› Necessary revamping of the huge power production

Italian Association for the promotion of Cogeneration
 Established in 1994, COGENA associates 40 firms with a total turnover of
€ 500,000,000 and it represents:


Firms specialized in systems and technologies distribution for Renewable and
fossil fuel Cogeneration Power Plants

Energy Service Companies (E.S.COs) which build, operate, maintain and
finance turnkey plants for the production of energy from renewable sources
and from fossil fuel cogeneration, aimed at achieving the maximum energy
saving and sharing with the customer the same objective

Energy Managers

Engineering Companies


Simpler & faster regulation for the utility grid-interconnection of CHP units
Approval of norms that introduce bureaucratic simplifications for operation of
cogeneration power plants


ESCOs activities development
Cooperation with International Associations: WADE - Cogen Europe

Promotion and organization of seminars

Consultation and support for members and their customers

Collect market data for the development of market intelligence

Preparation of a Cogeneration Manual and Suppliers Database

Participation at the most known exhibitions of the industry

Increase the number of members
