Comparison of the performance indicators of the French mix with and without cogeneration. Data in black are input data for the MIXOPTIM software; Data in red are the result of the calculation.
| Without cogeneration | With cogeneration | |
|---|---|---|
| Net average electric demand (net, ie excluding the electric power used to generate heat) (GWe) | 39.7 | 39.7 |
| Average heat demand (GWth) | 60.0 | 60.0 |
| Total average electric demand (including the electric demand devoted to heat production) (GWe) | 54.7 | 39.7 |
| Cost of satisfaction of the electric demand (€/MWhe) | 45.4 | 50.2 |
| Hourly cost of satisfaction of the electric demand (M€/h) | 2.48 | 1.99 |
| CO2 production (t/h) | 23520 | 16600 |
| Average heat cogenerated (GWth) | 0 | 28.6 |
| Average heat produced by the complementary source to fulfill the heat demand (GWth) | 45.0 | 31.4 |
| Additional cost of satisfaction of the heat demand (M€/h) | 3.42 | 2.38 |
| Total hourly cost of satisfaction of electric power and heat demand (M€/h) | 5.90 | 4.47 |
