Cogen Portugal Recent Past
Due to the development of cogeneration in Portugal since the beginning of the 90’s, namely with Diesel Engines, and due to the difficulties which surrounded this activity, a group of 15 cogenerators founded APPEC (Portuguese Association for the Promotion of Cogeneration) in January 1994.
The fact that Cogen Portugal is part of an European net of Cogeneration Associations, lead to the change of its social designation, in 1997, from APPEC to COGEN Portugal.
