Large energy users such as industrial facilities, hospitals, apartment complexes and universities seeking energy resiliency, stability in energy prices and the ability to operate independent of the grid are increasingly turning toward combined heat and power, or CHP, facilities to meet at least a portion of their energy needs. Smaller-scale, cost-efficient CHP generation, or micro-CHP, is also an effective source of primary and backup power for smaller-scale energy users.
CHP facilities utilize natural gas to produce electricity, as well as steam and hot and cold water, which can be used for heating and cooling purposes. A combination of lower natural gas prices, technological innovations and supportive governmental policies is making CHP an increasingly attractive option and smart energy solution for those seeking dependability and efficiency. CHP facilities also produce less emissions than other fossil-fueled power sources. Consequently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has identified CHP as one of the most effective technologies to enable states to comply with EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
