The Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE) is urging the British government to formulate a new district heating policy in order to bring about 180 new heat networks currently on the table.

The World Alliance for Decentralized Energy (WADE) will hold its fifth annual DistribuGen Conference and Trade Show for Cogeneration/CHP on 7-9 April in Houston, Texas, US.

UK Energy Secretary, Ed Davey, says there is a big case for significant investment to be made in decentralised energy as a means of boosting the country’s energy efficiency, despite a blind spot in approach to projects by government.

The market for large-scale power plants in Europe will never return and small municipal/local power producers will be responsible for the majority of power generation in Europe in 10 years’ time.

The Decentralized Energy Forum will take place in London on Tuesday 13^th May and will be of particular appeal to those looking to develop a case for on-site energy production.

Two US-based cogeneration trade bodies have announced their merger.

Two major distributed power technology companies have been boasting about their installation successes in the last couple of weeks – both quoting big numbers.

A new report on the European combined heat and power (CHP) industry predicts that the sector will grow from its present capacity of 202 GW to 245 GW by 2020.

Have the rebellious decentralized energy barbarians reached the illustrious utility city gates yet?

One of the main barriers to the more widespread adoption of decentralized energy in the US has been a set of outdated attitudes held within not just the local utilities but also their regulators – so says a new report from the Center for the New Energy Economy (CNEE) at Colorado State University.

It is five years since the editorial pages of COSPP magazine reported the decentralized energy angle on how the ‘world’s economies started to crumble in the aftermath of the global financial meltdown.’

Over the years Africa has become known as the dark continent, largely because of the mystery surrounding this vast land mass.

‘Medium-sized local energy projects such as solar arrays, wind turbines and district heating systems could bring considerable benefits to local communities and the country as a whole, but government needs to do more support businesses, cooperatives, local authorities and other public sector organisations who wish to install them.’

The news that homes on five local authority estates in south London are receive heating energy from a new source looks routine enough at first glance but, to long-term followers of the UK CHP and district energy scene, the story has a particularly satisfying ring to it.
