Key Benefits

Lower utility costs.
With cogeneration, you can produce power and heat 10% to 30% more economically than with separate heat and power systems. You dramatically reduce kWh costs as well as natural gas consumption. Plus, you may extend the useful life of your existing boilers and lower their annual repair and operating costs.

Reliablity, Predictability and Independence.
By generating electricity in-house, you can reduce dependence on the grid and your stand by generators. Annual utility costs are more predictable since you control the cost of generating your facility’s electricity, steam and/or hot water. The cogeneration plant operates in parallel with your utility; therefore, you are less susceptible to power outages.

Helps you “Go green.”
Meet and exceed environmental standards while conserving natural resources, being environmentally aware, promoting energy efficiency and reducing waste streams.

Cogeneration can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 to 50%.
Moreover, where a conventional power system’s fuel cycle efficiency runs about 50%, cogeneration can bring you to 70 – 80%.

Result: You reduce your need for fossil fuels, while freeing up significant assets for other uses.

In addition, cogeneration gives you a wide range of fuel choices, including natural gas, fuel oil, propane, bio-mass, and renewables, such as wood or wood waste.
