Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, in charge of competition policy, said: "The Polish certificates
system in support of high-efficiency co-generation of heat and power will increase energy
efficiency in power production. This measure will support EU energy and climate goals and is in
line with our state aid rules. Europe needs increasingly efficient energy production to help us meet
our environmental goals.”
Poland introduced the combined heat and power (CHP) certificates support system in 2007. The
beneficiaries of the scheme are producers of heat and power in high-efficiency CHP plants located
in Poland. There are currently three categories of beneficiaries, eligible to receive different types of
certificates. The certificates are color coded (yellow, purple or red) and are allocated to the
beneficiaries depending on the source of fuel and the capacity of the CHP plant...(link)
