Efficiency reference values for combined heat and power (Directive 2012/27/EU)

This regulation updates the efficiency benchmarks for plants that produce both electricity and heat (cogeneration). By revising these reference values, the EU aims to ensure that energy production is as efficient as possible, reducing waste and lowering overall energy consumption across the union.

This affects energy producers and industrial plants using cogeneration technology. They must meet these updated efficiency standards to comply with EU energy efficiency directives.
