Frequently Asked Questions
-
Because it allows electricity and heat to be produced simultaneously directly at the point of use, with an overall efficiency of up to 90%. This translates into significant savings on energy costs (both electrical and thermal), less dependence on the grid, and a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions. Green Power Technologies micro-cogeneration is a smart choice for those who want to control consumption, increase sustainability, and make the most of every kWh of energy used.
-
The benefits are assessed by comparing current energy costs (purchasing energy from the grid and producing heat from a boiler) with those obtained thanks to Green Power Technologies micro-cogeneration. The key factors are self-consumed electricity requirements, recovered heat that reduces gas usage, and the primary energy savings index (PES).
The Green Power Technologies team offers a free, personalized energy analysis based on your bills to clearly estimate your annual savings. -
Micro-cogeneration units require scheduled, non-invasive maintenance designed to ensure operational continuity and reliability over time. Routine maintenance is scheduled at intervals based on operating hours (6,000/7,000 hours per year, or once a year) and can be managed by a continuous remote monitoring system that allows for preventive diagnostics.
With Full Service contracts, Green Power Technologies takes full responsibility for management, offering guaranteed performance and peace of mind for the customer. -
White Certificates, or Energy Efficiency Certificates (EEC), are incentives that reward measures capable of generating measurable energy savings. In the case of micro-cogeneration, the unit must be recognized as CAR - High Efficiency Cogeneration by the GSE - Energy Services Management. Each certificate represents one Tonne of Oil Equivalent (TOE) saved and can be sold on the GME market, generating additional economic returns. Green Power Technologies supports the customer in all phases: from CAR certification to the management and valorization of White Certificates. Contact us to find out how to maximize incentives.

The installation of a cogenerator requires a structured administrative process, which can be managed entirely by our team. The process includes local authorization through SCIA building permit procedures, the request for connection to the electricity grid with the distributor, and procedures with GSE and the Customs Agency for CAR qualification and access to economic benefits.
In addition, if necessary, we can also handle fire safety procedures and provide support for accessing public tenders and incentives. With Green Power Technologies, you have a single point of contact who follows every step of the process, from the paperwork to the start of operation. Contact us for complete, worry-free management. -
The return on investment for a cogeneration unit is generally between 3 and 5 years, depending on gas and electricity prices in the relevant market. Amortization depends mainly on the annual hours of operation, the cost of self-produced energy (and therefore not purchased from the external grid), and access to available incentives, such as White Certificates or tax credits, which can reduce the payback period to less than 3 years.
