The project for building new cogeneration power plant was presented today by the EVN Utility and Siemens. The 50 mln Euro construction project is expected to start in June 2010 and to be ready in a year (Nov.2011).

Cogeneration (also combined heat and power, CHP) is the use of a heat engine or a power station to simultaneously generate both electricity  and useful heat. It is one of the most common forms of energy recycling.

Conventional power plants emit the heat created as a by-product of electricity generation into the natural environment through cooling towers, flue gas, or by other means. By contrast, CHP captures the by-product heat for domestic or industrial heating purposes, either very close to the plant, or—especially in Scandinavia and eastern Europe—as hot water for district heating with temperatures ranging from approximately 80 to 130 °C.
