Combined Heat and Power
As part of our responsible, sustainable growth, we seek projects with positive environmental, social and financial benefits. CHP projects can accomplish all three of these objectives.
CHP technologies hold enormous potential to improve the nation’s energy security and resilience and help meet environmental goals. CHP positively impacts the health of local economies and supports national policy goals in significant ways. We look forward to continuing to develop and propose projects like these when and where they make sense.
A CHP project:
- Achieves energy efficiencies by capturing heat that is typically wasted
- Advances our environmental goals by reducing emissions of harmful greenhouse gases
- Diversifies our energy supply with the integration of domestically produced and renewable fuels
- Increases our energy infrastructure resilience by limiting congestion and offsetting transmission losses
- Enhances our energy security by reducing our national energy requirements and helping businesses weather energy price volatility and supply disruptions
- Improves our competitive advantage through energy efficiency
Future blending of RNG and hydrogen into the fuel mix will increase the environmental benefits of our CHP projects by further reducing the carbon footprint.
