Securing Power

Publication date:  19 June, 2008

Securing Power is a new report by world leading energy experts Pöyry Energy Consulting and provides a compelling piece of the answer to the energy security and CO2 emissions challenges that the UK faces today. Pöyry's ground breaking analysis shows there is an unprecedented opportunity for very large scale combined heat and power (CHP) plants to provide both heat and electricity fromthe same fuel, allowing us to cut emissions, reduce fuel use, cut costs and provide up to 16GW of new electricity generating capacity to meet UK demand over the coming years.
