Combined heat and power (CHP) is a key element of such a strategy, generating power alongside public distribution networks.

Consequently, it is vital that the CHP units selected can be connected to the electricity distribution infrastructure and this is assured by using CHP plant that complies with the EREC G99 standard.

A CHP which has been tested to ensure that the design meets the relevant technical and compliance requirements of EREC G99 can be placed on the Energy Networks Association’s type test register. The register gives specifiers access to a list of products that hold fully compliant status to G99, giving further assurance the correct product is selected. Fully compliant products will not require on site witness testing by domestic network operators.

As a result, specifiers can be assured that G99-compliant CHP units meet all of the technical parameters and considerations relating to connection to the networks of licensed electricity distribution businesses throughout Great Britain.
