Conversion of Brighton power station to combined heat and power (CHP)

Abstract

The technology of whole city heating by CHP is well established in Holland, West Germany, Denmark and Sweden. There most big towns have schemes, and the metered hot water that they supply is popular, being cheapest, safest and most trouble-free. The paper describes the technical and economic issues, but concentrates on the institutional and political obstacles to the implementation of CHP in the UK. These are due to the CEGB which wrongly seeks to build electricity-only stations (nuclear and coal-fired) with cheap public money, thus crowding out more cost-effective private investment in conservation (CHP and insulation) and renewables (e.g. tidal power). The author considers that privatisation of power stations, both projected and existing, is the best way to halt the present misallocation of resources and obtain better value for investment in electricity supply.
