On Thursday, November 19, 2009, from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM EST EPA’s Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Partnership, together with EPA’s Local Climate and Energy Program, will host a webcast titled “CHP: A Strategy to Meet Sustainable Community Planning Goals.”

This webcast will address the opportunities and challenges of implementing CHP as part of local community sustainability plans. It will cover why CHP makes sense for local governments, the applications best suited for CHP, and the issues needed to be considered when implementing CHP. Two communities will also discuss their specific community energy and environmental plans and how they are using CHP to help meet their goals.

A background document on CHP for Local Governments, is available at: http://epa.gov/cleanenergy/documents/7.3_combinedheatpower.pdf (PDF) (81 pp., 331K) For more information about EPA’s Combined Heat and Power Partnership, please visit: http://www.epa.gov/chp/
