N1 - Funding Information:
The study was conducted under the auspices of the project INCREASE “Increasing renewable energy penetration in industrial production and grid integration through optimised CHP energy dispatch scheduling and demand-side management” (grant number BMBF150075 ) funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Chilean National Commission for Scientific Research and Technology (CONICYT) . The study was also supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH through the Energy Program in Chile. We also gratefully acknowledge support from the European Research Council (“reFUEL” ERC-2017-STG 758149 ).

N2 - Combined Heat and Power (CHP) has again become a key element in international energy and environmental policy, since it is one of the most promising methods of ensuring grid stability, making an energy system more flexible and environmentally friendly. This is particularly true in the case of Chile, which has an energy system that progressively introduced volatile renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy. This scenario has led to the development of a new regulatory strategy and CHP flagship projects throughout the country. Despite this interest, there has been no analysis of CHP development or the impact of the latest regulatory changes on its evolution. This study presents an updated cadastre of the CHP facilities as of 2018, together with an analysis of its evolution in terms of an energy policy. From this cadastre, interviews with experts, and a review of the regulations and incentives, the study identifies the main policy barriers for CHP development in Chile. Furthermore, this study presents a series of challenges and recommendations for the country.
