Flipping the question around, would it make sense to use CHP? The generator would only need to be better than 13.7% efficient to break even on electricity alone, pretty easy to do. Up north, the heat would be put to good use for a large part of the year, meaning it makes even more sense. Should be a good place to DIY a generator out of a small car engine and an industrial induction motor.
