Important Note: The UK Government's internal CHP database cannot publish site-level data as this information is commercially sensitive data.gov.uk. The official DUKES Table 7.5 contains the comprehensive list of large-scale CHP schemes, but this specific data table isn't accessible through my current network connection. The installations listed above represent the most significant schemes identifiable through published government statistics and industry sources. NOTE: Image of a smaller scale CHP Installation
