Paragraph 6 Cost-benefit analysisF1

An application to an enforcing authority under regulation 10 for a permit to operate a new installation with a total net thermal input exceeding 20 megawatts, other than an installation falling within paragraph 3, and generating waste heat at a useful temperature level, must be accompanied by a cost-benefit analysis that assesses the cost and benefits of utilising the waste heat to satisfy economically justified demand, including through cogeneration, and of the connection of that installation to a district heating and cooling network.
