Comparative analysis of regulations for co-generation/DH/CHP in transition economies
Article from: OGEL 3 (2003), in Comparative Energy Law
Summary
Heritage of central planning, district heating (DH) and combined heat and power generation (CHP) are an important component of the energy economies in central and eastern Europe - comparable to gas and electricity.
