Today, across the globe, many local governmental incentives have been established to help promote the development of new cogeneration applications with an objective of driving fuel utilization. One such example is the SPP (Small Power Plant) in Thailand. While such incentives are not new (for example, PURPA in the US), the underlying motivations can be different. More often than not, current incentives are borne out of a want, desire and need to reduce green house gas emissions, whereas the motivations of the past may have focused more on fuel utilization from an energy market perspective (deregulation and market competition). In support of today’s market drivers GE not only maintains a position.
