The Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from High-efficiency Cogeneration Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008
These Regulations implement as respects Northern Ireland Article 5 of the Directive 2004/8/EC (OJ L 52, 21.2.2004, p.50) of the European Parliament and of the council on the promotion of cogeneration based on a useful heat demand in the internal energy market and amending Directive 92/42/EEC (OJ L 167, 22.6.1992, p.17). That article provides for the issue of guarantees of origin of electricity from high-efficiency cogeneration. The cogeneration of electricity is more commonly referred to in the United Kingdom as electricity produced from combined heat and power or CHP.
