We asked Meegan Kelly what the role of cogeneration will be in the coming years and how the US incentive system is expected to change. We can identify 4 different ways of using cogeneration: in industry, for critical infrastructures, in combination with renewable energies and powered by renewable sources. As a result, incentive programs must be adapted to the new needs and cogeneration must be seen as one of the technologies that are part of a microgrid.
