    Payback times – payback time are still quite high, between 7-15 years depending on use and if the system can export electricity to the national grid.


    Not completely renewable – A CHP system is still reliant on the use of natural gas. However there are boilers on the market, which utilise a renewable source such as biomass.


    seasonal variations –May be ineffectual in responding to dynamic requirements of users particularly coping with seasonal variations; often producing excess heat during the summer period. http://www.energy-measures.com/chp/advantages_disadvantages_chp.php
